*****************************
15
16
.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
17
18
New Features
19
************
20
21
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
22
23
Improvements
24
************
25
26
.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
27
or memory usage, or better results.
28
29
* Bazaar now caches a branch's tags while that branch is read-locked.
30
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
31
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
32
33
* ``bzr config <option>`` will now display only the value itself so scripts
34
can use it to query the currently active configuration. Displaying several
35
options matching a given regular expression is now controlled via the
36
``--all`` option. (Vincent Ladeuil, bug #670251)
37
38
* ``bzr resolve`` now reports the number of conflicts resolved and the
39
number of remaining conflicts. This provides a better feedback about the
40
whole resolution process. (Vincent Ladeuil)
41
42
Bug Fixes
43
*********
44
45
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
46
or undesirable results.
47
48
* Better message if there is an error while setting ownership of
49
``.bazaar`` directory. (Parth Malwankar, #657553)
50
51
* ``bzr config`` properly displays list values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #672382)
52
53
* ``bzr config`` will now respect option policies when displaying the value
54
and display the definition sections when appropriate.
55
(Vincent Ladeuil, #671050)
56
57
* Don't create commit message files in the current directory to avoid nasty
58
interactions with emacs (which tries to establish the status of the file
59
during the commit which breaks on windows). (Vincent Ladeuil, #673637)
60
61
* ``bzr resolve --take-other <file>`` will not crash anymore if ``<file>``
62
is involved in a text conflict (but the conflict is still not
63
resolved). (Vincent Ladeuil, #646961)
64
65
* Merge will now correctly locate a lca where there is a criss-cross merge
66
of a new root. (Gary van der Merwe, #588698)
67
68
* Report error if non-ASCII command option given. (Rory Yorke, #140563)

***********
77
78
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
79
bzrlib.
80
81
Internals
82
*********
83
84
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
85
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
86
87
* ``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts parent_ids == [].
88
This can be used to create a new root in the graph. (Gary van der Merwe)
89
90
Testing
91
*******
92
93
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
94
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
95
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
96
97
* Add a null_output_matches_anything keyword argument with default False to
98
bzrlib.tests.script.ScriptRunner.run_script to specify that the command
99
output should not be checked (as opposed to expecting an empty output).
100
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #662509)
101
102
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
103
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
104
(Martin Pool, #637830)
105
106
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
107
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
108
written. (Martin [gz])

New Features
122
************
123
124
* Add --no-tree option to 'bzr push' and 'bzr init' for creating a
125
new or mirrored branch without working trees.
126
(Matthew Gordon, #506730)
127
128
* ``bzr config`` is a new command that displays the configuration options for
129
a given directory. It accepts a glob to match against multiple options at
130
once. It can also be used to set or delete a configuration option in any
131
configuration file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
132
133
* New shortcut url schemes ``ubuntu:`` and ``debianlp:`` access source
134
branches on Launchpad. E.g. ``bzr branch ubuntu:foo`` gives you the source
135
branch for project ``foo`` in the current distroseries for Ubuntu while
136
``bzr branch debianlp:lenny/foo`` gives you the source branch (on Launchpad)
137
for project ``foo`` in Debian Lenny.
138
(Barry Warsaw, #609186)
139
140
* Provide a configuration option "default_format" that controls the
141
default format for new branches created with ``bzr init``.
142
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #484101)
143
144
Bug Fixes
145
*********
146
147
* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
148
149
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
150
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
151
152
* Correctly add directory contents when the name was previously added as a
153
normal file, rather than throwing ``AttributeError: children`` during
154
smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
155
156
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
157
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
158
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
159
the base directory for the other paths. (Vincent Ladeuil, #670851)
160
161
* Correctly set the Content-Type header when http POSTing to comply
162
with stricter web frameworks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #665100)
163
164
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
165
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
166
167
* Fix ``KeyError: 'port'`` when getting the stored password for an http
168
URL.
169
(Martin Pool, #654684)
170
171
* Make ``bzr tag --quiet`` really quiet. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #239523)
172
173
* Missing files (files bzr add'ed and then OS deleted) are now shown in ``bzr
174
status`` output. (Rory Yorke, #134168)
175
176
* ``NotBranchError`` no longer allows errors from calling
177
``bzrdir.open_repository()`` to propagate. This is unhelpful at best,
178
and at worst can trigger infinite loops in callers. (Andrew Bennetts)
179
180
* Windows installers no longer requires the Microsoft vcredist to be
181
installed. (Martin [gz], Gary van der Merwe, #632465)
182
183
Documentation
184
*************
185
186
* Add documentation of the ability to edit hunks when shelving.
187
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #517660)
188
189
* Be more specific about the meaning of revision ranges for ``bzr diff``.
190
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #247282)
191
192
* Document the comment character in the .bzrignore file, including a
193
workaround for ignore patterns that begin with #.
194
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #631515)
195
196
API Changes
197
***********
198
199
* Add ``bzrlib.pyutils`` module with helper functions for some Python
200
tasks such as resolving a dotted name to a Python object
201
(``get_named_object``). (Andrew Bennetts)
202
203
* ``bzrlib.tests.ForwardingResult`` no longer exists. Use
204
``testtools.ExtendedToOriginalDecorator`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
205
206
* ``known_hooks_key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in ``bzrlib.hooks`` has been
207
deprecated in favour of ``known_hooks.key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in
208
the same module. (Andrew Bennetts)
209
210
Internals
211
*********
212
213
* ``tools/fixed-in.py`` find a bug in NEWS from its number or a regexp
214
matching the news entry and display the corresponding release, date, fix
215
authors and the news entry itself. (Vincent Ladeuil)
216

* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
221
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
222
(Martin Pool, #637830)
223
224
* ``bzr test-script script`` is a new command that runs a shell-like script
225
from an the ``script`` file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
226
227
* Fix spurious test failures on babune related to the http pipe cleanup and
228
get rid of some 'bytes left on the HTTP socket' useless log messages.
229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #655557)
230
231
* ``bzrlib.tests.per_workingtree.TestCaseWithWorkingTree.make_branch_builder``
232
respects its ``relpath`` parameter. (Vincent Ladeuil)

External Compatibility Breaks
240
*****************************
241
242
* The ``bzr tags`` command sorts tag names using a natural sort by
243
default (so tag2 sorts before tag10). The previous default was
244
strictly "asciibetical". That behavior is still available as ``bzr tags
245
--sort=alpha``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #640760)
246
247
* ``BzrDir.generate_backup_name`` has been deprecated and replaced by a
248
private method. ``osutils.available_backup_name`` provides an extensible
249
replacement. This allowed the deprecation of
250
``bzrlib.transform.get_backup_name``,
251
``bzrlib.transform._get_backup_name`` and
252
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.has_named_child``.
253
(Vincent Ladeuil)
254
255
New Features
256
************
257
258
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
259
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
260
261
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
262
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
263
264
* Add ``-Dmem_dump`` debug flag, which uses meliae to dump memory to
265
a file upon an out of memory error.
266
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
267
268
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
269
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
270
hook.
271
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
272
273
* GNU lsh is now a supported lsh client; just set BZR_SSH to 'lsh'.
274
Also, bzr will recognize if the 'ssh' comand is a symlink to lsh.
275
(Matthew Gordon, #374700)
276
277
* The ``pull`` and ``update`` commands now take a ``--show-base``
278
option that, in the case of conflicts, shows the base revision text.
279
(Rory Yorke, #202374)
280
281
Improvements
282
************
283
284
* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
285
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
286
(Martin Pool, #397315)
287
288
* ``bzr remove`` now takes a ``--no-backup`` option for when you don't want it
289
to backup anything, just delete it. This option used to be called ``--force``
290
which is now deprecated.
291
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
292
293
* When using the pycurl client module, Bazaar shows some of the text from
294
http server error messages.
295
(Martin Pool, #656667)
296
297
Bug Fixes
298
*********
299
300
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
301
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
302
303
* Fix signature of RemoteBzrDir.create_workingtree to match that of its
304
superclass. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Martin Pool, #524627)
305
306
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
307
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
308
309
* Print junk rather than throwing a UnicodeDecodeError from ``bzr version-info``
310
when using the rio format (with non-ascii information) on a non-utf-8
311
terminal. (Andrej A Antonov, #518609)
312
313
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
314
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
315
316
* ``unshelve --preview`` now can show diff in a non-ascii encoding.
317
(Andrej A Antonov, #518916)
318
319
* Deleting a versioned directory can leave orphans: unversioned files that
320
were present don't have a parent anymore. The
321
``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option controls the ``bzr``
322
behaviour: ``conflict`` (the default) leave the orphans in place and
323
create a conflict for the directory, ``move`` create orphans named
324
``<file>.~#~`` in a ``bzr-orphans`` directory at the root of the working
325
tree. (Vincent Ladeuil, #323111)
326
327
Improvements
328
************
329
330
Documentation
331
*************
332
333
* Correct the documentation for setting up the smart server with Apache.
334
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #311518)
335
336
* Fix rst typos in bzrlib/help_topics/en/conflict-types.txt.
337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #660943)
338
339
* Provide more detailed help on the Launchpad plugin at "bzr help
340
plugins/launchpad". (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #589379)
341
342
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
343
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
344
345
API Changes
346
***********
347
348
* ``WorkingTree`` methods ``pull``, ``update``, and ``_update_tree``
349
now have an optional argument, ``show_base``, which is by default
350
False. This is flag is ultimately passed to ``merge.merge_inner``
351
in each case. (Rory Yorke, #202374)
352
353
Internals
354
*********
355
356
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
357
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
358
359
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
360
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
361
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
362
363
Testing
364
*******
365
366
* Add a new simpler way to generate multiple test variations, by setting
367
the `scenarios` attribute of a test class to a list of scenarios
368
descriptions, then using `load_tests_apply_scenarios`. (See the testing
369
guide and `bzrlib.tests.scenarios`.) Simplify `test_http` using this.
370
(Martin Pool, #597791)
371
372
* Add ``tests/ssl_certs/ca.crt`` to the required test files list. Test
373
involving the pycurl https test server fail otherwise when running
374
selftest from an installed version. (Vincent Ladeuil, #651706)
375
376
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
377
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
378
379
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
380
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
382
383
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
385
386
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
387
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
388
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
389

********************
16
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)
22

* ``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)
27
28
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
29
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)

32
longer raised.

38
39
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
40

41
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr

`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to

:2.3b1: 2010-09-20
397
398
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
399
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
400
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
401
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
402
403
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
404
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
405
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
406
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
407
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
408
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
409
through the 2.3 series.
410
411
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
412
its own.

* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
454
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
455
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
456
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).

* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
460
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
461
(Andrew Bennetts)
462
463
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
464
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
465
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
466
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
467
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
468
(John Arbash Meinel)
469
470
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
471
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
472
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
473
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
474
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
475
476
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
477
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
478
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
479
480
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
481
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
482
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
483

485
repositories.

(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
487
488
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
489
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
490
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
491
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
492
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
493
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
494
495
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
496

337
:2.2: 2010-08-06
338
339
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
340
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
341
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
342
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
343
supported for another 6 months.)
344
345
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
346
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
347
348
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
349
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
350
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
351
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
352
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
353
readonly operations).
354
355
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
382
383
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
384
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
385
386
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
387
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
388
389
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
390
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
391
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
392
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
393
394
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
395
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)

432
433
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
434
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
435
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
436
stable and compatible plugin versions.
437
438
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
439
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
440
appropriately.
441
442
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
443
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
444
bugfixes over 2.2b3.
445
446
Compatibility Breaks
447
********************
448
449
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
450
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
451
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
452
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
453
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
454
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
455
456
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
457
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
458
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
459
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
460
end.
461
462
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
463
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
464
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

470
471
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:

473
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)

Bug Fixes
476
*********
477
478
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
479
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
480
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
481
482
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
483
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
484
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
485
486
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
487
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
488
489
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
490
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
491
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
492
493
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
494
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
495
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
496
497
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
498
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
499
500
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
501
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
502
503
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
504
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
505
506
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
507
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
508
509
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
510
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
511
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
512
513
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
514
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
515
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
516
517
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
518
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
519
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
520
(Robert Collins, #177500)
521
522
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
523
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
524
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
525
526
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
527
528
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
529
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
530
531
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
532
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
533
534
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
535
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
536
(Martin Pool)
537
538
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
539
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
540
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
541
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
542
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
543
544
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
545
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
546
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
547
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
548
549
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
550
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
551
552
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
553
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
554
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
555
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
556
557
Improvements
558
************
559
560
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
561
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
562
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
563
564
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
565
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
566
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
567
(Robert Collins, #201613)
568
569
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
570
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
571
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
572
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
573
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
574
575
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
576
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
577
(Martin Pool, #340394)
578
579
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
580
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
581
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
582
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).

API Changes
598
***********
599
600
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
601
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
602
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
603
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
604
605
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
606
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
607
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
608
(Robert Collins)
609
610
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
611
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
612
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
613
614
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
615
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
616
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
617
(Parth Malwankar)
618
619
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
620
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
621
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
622
623
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
624
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
625
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
626
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
627
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
628
629
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
630
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
631
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
632
633
Internals
634
*********
635
636
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
637
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
638
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
639
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
640
(Robert Collins)
641
642
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
643
644
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
645
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
646
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
647
648
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
649
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
650
(Robert Collins)
651
652
Testing
653
*******
654
655
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
656
to test. (Martin Pool)

658
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

665
666
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
667
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
668
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
669
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
670
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
671
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
672
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
673
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
674
support.
675
676
Compatibility Breaks
677
********************
678
679
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
680
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
681
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
682
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
683
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
684
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
685
(Robert Collins)
686
687
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
688
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
689
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
690
691
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
692
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
693
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
694
695
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
696
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.

703
``--show-diff``.
704
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
705
706
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
707
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
708
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
709
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
710
711
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
712
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
713
pack operation.
714
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
715
716
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
717
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
718
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
719
720
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
721
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
722
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
723
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
724
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
725
726
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
727
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
728
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
729
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
730
731
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
732
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
733
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
734
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.

741
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
742
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
743
744
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
745
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
746
better with sudo.
747
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
748
749
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
750
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
751
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
752
753
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
754
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
755
756
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
757
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
758
difference).
759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
760
761
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
762
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
763
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
764
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
765
(Robert Collins, #583667)
766
767
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
768
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
769
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
770
771
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
772

774
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
775
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
776
777
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
778
(Aaron Bentley)
779
780
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
781
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
782
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
783
Python.
784
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
785
786
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
788
789
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
790
versions before 1.6.
791
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
792
793
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
794
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
795
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
796
797
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
798
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
799
800
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
801
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
802
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
803
804
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
805
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
806
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
807
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
808
809
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
810
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
811
to support this efficiently.
812
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
813
814
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
815
more comprehensible.
816
(Martin Pool, #491763)
817
818
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
819
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
820
821
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
822
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
823
824
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
825
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
826
messages.
827
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
828
829
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
830
(Robert Collins, #558343)
831
832
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
833
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
834
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

Improvements
838
************
839
840
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
841
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
842
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
843
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
844
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
845
(case-sensitive) as false.
846
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
847
848
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
849
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.

* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
853
be interpreted as a boolean.
854
(Vincent Ladeuil)
855
856
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
857
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
858
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
859
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
860
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])

API Changes
863
***********
864
865
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
866
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
867
(Andrew Bennetts)
868
869
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
870
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
871
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
872
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
873
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
874
implementations.
875
(Martin Pool)
876
877
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
878
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
879
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
880
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
881
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
882
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
883
884
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
885
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
886
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
887
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
888
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
889
``refresh_data`` during a write group.

*********
894
895
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
896
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
897
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
898
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
899
900
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
901
(Robert Collins)
902
903
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
904
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
905
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
906
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
907
at worst.
908
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
909
910
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
911
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
912
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
913
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
914
915
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
916
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.

920
*******
921
922
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
923
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
924
(Robert Collins)
925
926
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
927
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
928
929
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
930
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
931
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
932
933
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
934
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.

941
942
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
943

944
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
945
of these would be welcome.

New Features
949
************
950
951
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
952
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
953
954
Bug Fixes
955
*********
956
957
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
958
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
959
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
960
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
962
963
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
964
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
965
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
966
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
967
968
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
969
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
970
971
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
972
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
973
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
974
975
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
976
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
977
978
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
980
981
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
982
(Martin Pool)
983
984
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
985
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
986
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
987
988
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
989
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
990
which is not installed any more" error.
991
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
992
993
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
994
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
995
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
996
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
997
(Andrew Bennetts)
998
999
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1000
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1001
-rX..Y.
1002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
1003
1004
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
1005
(Martin von Gagern, #387117)
1006
1007
Improvements
1008
************
1009
1010
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1011
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1012
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1013
1014
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1015
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1016
(Andrew Bennetts)
1017
1018
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1019
(Andrew Bennetts)
1020
1021
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1022
(Andrew Bennetts)
1023
1024
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1025
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1026
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1027
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1028
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1029
1030
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1031
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1032
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1033
1034
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
1035
less.)
1036
(Martin Pool, #553017)
1037
1038
API Changes
1039
***********
1040
1041
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
1042
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1043
(Andrew Bennetts)
1044
1045
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
1046
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1047
1048
Internals
1049
*********
1050
1051
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1052
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1053
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1054
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
1055

bzr 2.2b1
1058
#########
1059
1060
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
1061
1062
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1063
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1064
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1065
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1066
1067
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1068
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1069
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1070
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1071
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1072
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1073
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1074
through the 2.2 series.
1075
1076
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1077
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1078
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1079
1080
Compatibility Breaks
1081
********************
1082
1083
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1084
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1085
1086
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1087
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1088
(Martin Pool)
1089
1090
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1091
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1092
1093
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1094
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1095
1096
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1097
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1098
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1099
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1100
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1101
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1102
1103
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1104
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1105
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1106
1107
New Features
1108
************
1109
1110
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1111
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1112
1113
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1114
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1115
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1116
1117
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1118
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1119
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1120
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1121
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1122
1123
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1124
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
1125
#392428)
1126
1127
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1128
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1130
1131
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1132
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1133
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1134
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1135
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1137
1138
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1139
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1140
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1141
1142
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1143
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1144
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1145
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1146
1147
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1148
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)

Bug Fixes
1151
*********
1152
1153
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1154
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1155
1156
* Allow additional arguments to
1157
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1158
1159
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1160
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1161
1162
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1163
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1164
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1165
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1166
1167
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1168
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1169
1170
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1171
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1172
1173
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1174
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1175
1176
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1178
1179
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1180
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1181
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1182
1183
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1184
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1185
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1186
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1187
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1188
1189
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1190
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1192
1193
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1194
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1195
1196
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1197
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1199
1200
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1201
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1202
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1203
1204
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1205
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1206
``add``.
1207
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1208
1209
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1210
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1211
1212
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1213
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1214
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1215
1216
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1217
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1219
1220
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1222
1223
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1224
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1226
1227
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1228
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1229
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1230
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1231
``sock.sendall``).
1232
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1233
1234
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1235
deletion is involved.
1236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1237
1238
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1239
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1240
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1241
1242
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1243
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1244
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1245
1246
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1247
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1248
1249
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1250
the debugger won't kill the session.
1251
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1252
1253
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1254
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1255
1256
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1257
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1258
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1259
1260
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.

***********
1265
1266

``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1268
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1269
1270
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1271
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1272
1273
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1274
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1275
1276
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1277
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1278
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1279
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1280
1281
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1282
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1283
to be done separately.
1284
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1285
1286
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1287
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1288
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1289
1290
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1291
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1292
1293
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1294
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
1295
1296
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.

* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1306
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1307
1308
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1309
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1310
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1311
1312
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1313
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1314
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1315
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1316
(Robert Collins)
1317
1318
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1319
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1320
1321
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1322
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1323
1324
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and

1332
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository

1334
1335
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1336
(Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop

(Vincent Ladeuil)
1341
1342
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1343
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1344
dependency regressions.
1345
(Martin Pool)

* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1348
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1351
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1352
1353
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1354
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1355
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1356
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1357
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1358
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1376
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1377
marked versioned too.
1378
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1379
1380
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
1381

1388
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1389
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1390
1391
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1392
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1393
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1394
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)

1450
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1451
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1452
1453
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1454
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1455
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1456
Python.
1457
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1458

1460
versions before 1.6.
1461
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1462
1463
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1464
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1465
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1466
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.

1474
1475
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1476
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many

Bug Fixes

*********
1501
1502
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1503
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1504
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1505
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1506
1507
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1508
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1509
1510
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1511
1512
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1514
1515
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1516
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1517
1518
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1519
1520
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1521
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1522
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1523
1524
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1525
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1526
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1527
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1528
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1529
1530
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1531
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1532
1533
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1534
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.

1552
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.

:Codename: Strasbourg

:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
1561
1562
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1563
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1564
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1565
1566
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1567
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1568
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1569
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1570
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1571
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
1572

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
1582

1583
1584
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
1585
when it encounters conflicts.
1586
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1587
1588
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1589
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1590
1591
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1592
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1593
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1594
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1595
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1596
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1597
1598
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1599
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1600
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to

``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1621
1622
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1623
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1624
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1625
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1626
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1627
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1628
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1629
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1630
1631
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid

*********
1637
1638
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1639
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1640
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1641
in ``do_merge``.

1660
1661
API Changes
1662
***********
1663
1664
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1665
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1666
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1667
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1668
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1669
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1678
1679
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1680
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1681
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1682
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1683
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1684
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1685
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1686
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1687
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

New Features
1691
************
1692
1693
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1694
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1695
1696
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1697
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1698
particular files.
1699
1700
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1701
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1702
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1703
(Andrew Bennetts)
1704
1705
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1706
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1707
1708
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1709
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1710
1711
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1712
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1713
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1714
1715
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1716
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1717
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1718
Martin Pool, #45719)
1719
1720
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1721
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1722
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1723
1724
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1725
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1726
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1727
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1728
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1729
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1730
1731
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1732
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1733
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1734
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.

* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1741
user-specified commit message editor.
1742
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1743
1744
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1745
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1746
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1747
1748
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1749
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1750
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1751
1752
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1753
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1754
1755
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1756
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1757
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1758
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1759
another process already removed the file.
1760
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1761
1762
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1763
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1764
1765
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1766
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1767
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1768
1769
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1770
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1771
1772
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1774
1775
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1777
1778
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1779
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1780
1781
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1782
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1783
depended on this behaviour.
1784
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1785
1786
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1787
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1788
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1789
should appear up-to-date.)

Improvements
1793
************
1794
1795
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1796
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1797
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1798
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1799
1800
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1801
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1802
1803
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1804
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1805
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1806
1807
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1808
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1809
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1810
1811
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1812
(__monty__, #257170)
1813
1814
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1815
Bazaar is doing network IO.

1818
Documentation
1819
*************
1820
1821
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1822
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1823
1824
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1825
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1826
1827
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1828
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1829
1830
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1831
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1832
1833
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1834
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1835
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1836
1837
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1838
(Ian Clatworthy)
1839
1840
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1841
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
1842

1844
API Changes
1845
***********
1846
1847
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1848
(Andrew Bennetts)
1849
1850
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1851
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1852
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1853
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1854
1855
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1856
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1857
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1858
1859
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1860
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1861
1862
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1863
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1864
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1865
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1866
1867
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1868
parameter.
1869
1870
Internals
1871
*********
1872
1873
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1874
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1875
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1876
1877
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1878
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1879
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1880
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1881
1882
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1883
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1884
1885
Testing
1886
*******
1887
1888
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1889
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1890
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1891
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1892
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1893
1894
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1895
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1896
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1897
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1898
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1899
suite. (Robert Collins)
1900
1901
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1902
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1903
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1904
1905
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1906
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

1919
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1920
1921
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1922
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1923
marked versioned too.
1924
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1925
1926
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
1927
target of the symlink.
1928
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
1929
1930
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1931
both working tree and branch.
1932
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1933
1934
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1935
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1936
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1937
1938
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1939
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1940
1941
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1942
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1943
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1944
1945
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1946
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1947
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1948
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1949
1950
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.

1953
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1954
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1955
1956
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1957
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1958
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1959
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1960
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1961
1962
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1963
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1964
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1965
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1966
1967
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1968
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1969
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

Bug Fixes
1990
*********
1991
1992
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1993
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1994
1995
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1996
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1997
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1998
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1999
another process already removed the file.
2000
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2001
2002
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
2003
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2004
a lock.
2005
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2006
2007
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2008
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2009
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2010
repositories.
2011
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)

2016
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``

2018
``UnboundLocalError``.
2019
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)

:Codename: smooth sailing
2043
:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
2044
2045
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2046
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2047
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2048
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2049
2050
2051
Bug Fixes
2052
*********
2053
2054
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2055
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2056
2057
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2058
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2059
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2060
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2061
2062
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2063
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2064
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2065
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2066
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2067
2068
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2069
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2070
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2071
2072
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2073
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2074
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2075
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2076
2077
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2078
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2079
2080
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2081
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2082
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2083
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2084
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2085
2086
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2087
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2088
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2089
users, rather than something nicer.
2090
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2091
2092
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2093
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2094
2095
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2096
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2097
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2098
2099
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2100
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2101
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2102
2103
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2104
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2105
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2106
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2107
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2108
2109
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2110
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2111
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2112
2113
Testing
2114
*******
2115
2116
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2117
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2118
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2119
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2129
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2130
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2131
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI

Compatibility Breaks
2137
********************
2138
2139
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2140
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2141
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2142
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2143
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)

* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2149
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2150
2151
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2152
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2153
2154
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2155
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2156
2157
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2158
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2159
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2160
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2161
lengths.
2162
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2163
2164
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its

2166
is installed.

*********
2172
2173
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2174
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2175
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2176
2177
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2178
and issues a warning.
2179

2180
2181
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)

* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2184
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2185
2186
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2187
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2188
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2189
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)

2191
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)

have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2205
2206
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2207
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2208
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2209
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2210
windows too.

* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2218
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2219
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2220
2221
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2222
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2223
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2224
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2225
2226
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2227
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2228
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2229
2230
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2231
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2232
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2233
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2234
2235
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2236
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

2242
2243
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

2245
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2246
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2247
2248
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2249
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2250
(John Arbash Meinel)
2251
2252
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
2253
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2254
Hudson)
2255
2256
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2257
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2258
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2259
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2260
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

2281
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2282
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2283
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2284
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2285
2286
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2287
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2288
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2289
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2290
(John Arbash Meinel)
2291
2292
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2293
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2294
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2295
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2296
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2297
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: after sprint recovery
2339
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2340
2341
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2342
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2343
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2344
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2345
2346
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2347
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2348
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
2349
formats for Remote objects.

2360
2361
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
2362

* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
2364
2365
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
2366
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
2367
2368
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2369
2370
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2371
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2372
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2373
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2374
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2375
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2376
2377
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2378
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2379
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2380
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2381
2382
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2383
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2384
2385
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2386
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2387
2388
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2389
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2390
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2391
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2392
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2393
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2394
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2395
2396
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2397
(Alexander Belchenko)
2398

2400

2408
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2409
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2410
overridden by GUIs.

2426
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2427
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2428
2429
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2430
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2431
2432
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2433
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2434
2435
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2436
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2437
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2438
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2441
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2444
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2445
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2446
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2447
2448
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2449
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2450
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2451
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

2459
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2460
2461
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2462
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2463
2464
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2465
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2466
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2467
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2468
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2469
many operations.
2470
2471
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2472
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2473
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2474
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2475
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2476
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)

* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2482
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2483
2484
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2485
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2486
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2487
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2488
2489
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2490
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2491
2492
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2493
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2494
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2495
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2496
2497
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2498
files. (Aaron Bentley)

2501

2504
************
2505
2506
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2507
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2508
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2509
(John Arbash Meinel)
2510
2511

*********
2532
2533
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2534
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2535
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2536
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2537
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2538
(John Arbash Meinel)
2539
2540
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2541
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2542
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2543
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2544
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2545
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2546
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2547
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2548
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2549
2550
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2551
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2552
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2553
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2554
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2555
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2556
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2557
2558
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2559
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2560
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2561
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

2616
2617
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2618
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2619
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2620
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2621
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2622
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2623
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2624
2625
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2626
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2627
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved

2634
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2635
(Brian de Alwis)
2636
2637
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2638
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2639
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2640
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2641
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2642
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2643
2644
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2645
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2646
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2647
2648
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2649
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2650
method.
2651
2652
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2653
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2654
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2655
2656
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2657
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2658
(Arkanes)
2659
2660
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2661
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

2666
2667
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2668
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2669
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2670
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2671
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2672
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2673
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2674
2675
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2676
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2677
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2678
2679
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2680
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2681
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2683
2684
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2685
merges are present in the working tree.
2686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2687
2688
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2689
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2690
2691
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2692
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2693
2694
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2696
2697
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2698
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2700
2701
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2702
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2703
2704
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2705
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2706
2707
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2709
2710
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using

Improvements
2715
************
2716
2717
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
2718
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2719
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2720
2721
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2722
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2723
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2724
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2725
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2726
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

2729
2730
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2731
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
2732
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
2733
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

API Changes
2745
***********
2746
2747
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
2748
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2749
2750
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2751
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2752
2753
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2754
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2755
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2756
2757
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2758
(Martin Pool)
2759
2760
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2761
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2762
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2763
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2764
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2765
been deprecated.
2766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
2767

* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
2775
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2776
(Andrew Bennetts)
2777
2778
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2779
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2780
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2781
(John Arbash Meinel)
2782
2783
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2784
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
2785

2786
2787
Testing
2788
*******
2789
2790
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2791
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2792
2793
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2794
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2795
2796
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2797
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2798
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2799
2800
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2801
a long time.
2802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2803
2804
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2805
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2806
2807
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2808
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2809
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2810
2811
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2812
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2813
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2814
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2815
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2816
2817
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2818
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2819
2820
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2821
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)

The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It

Bug Fixes
2836
*********
2837
2838
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2839
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2840
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2841
2842
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2843
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2844
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2845
2846
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2847
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2848
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2849
2850
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2851
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2852
2853
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2854
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2855
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2856
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2857
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2858
2859
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2860
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2861
2862
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2863
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2864
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2865
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2866
2867
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2868
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2869
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2870
2871
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2872
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2873
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2874
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2875
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2876
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2877
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2878
2879
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2880
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2881
2882
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2883
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2884
to download the entire cix file many times.
2885
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2886
2887
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2888
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)

2901
2902
:2.0.0: 2009-09-22
2903
:Codename: Instant Karma
2904
2905
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2906
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2907
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2908
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2909
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2910
existing projects.)
2911
2912
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2913
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2914
2915
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2916
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2917
months or until the following stable release.
2918
2919
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2920
******************************
2921
2922
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2923
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2924
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2925
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

New Features

************
2935
2936
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2937
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2938

2939
2940
Bug Fixes
2941
*********
2942
2943
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2944
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2945
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2946
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2947
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2948
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2949
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2950
2951
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2952
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2953
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2954
2955
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2956
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2957
2958
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2959
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2960
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2961
2962
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2963
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2964
2965
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2966
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2967
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2968
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2969
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2970
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2971
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2972
2973
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2974
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2975
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2976
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2977
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2978
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2979
2980
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2981
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2982
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2983
2984
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2985
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2986
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2987
2988
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2989
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2990
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2991
2992
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2993
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2996
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2997
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

Compatibility Breaks
3029
********************
3030
3031
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3032
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3033
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3034
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3035
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
3036
3037
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
3038
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
3039
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.

3051
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3052
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3053
3054
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3055
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3056
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3057
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3058
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3059
3060
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
3061
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
3062

3071
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3072
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3073
3074
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3075
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3076
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

Improvements
3080
************
3081

* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3083
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3084
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3085
3086
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3087
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3088
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3089
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3090
``bazaar.conf``.
3091
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)

* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
3094
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3095
3096
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3097
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3098
3099
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3100
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3101
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3102
3103
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3104
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3105
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3106
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3107
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3108
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)

3132
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
3133
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
3134
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
3135
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
3136
pushing to older servers.

Bug Fixes
3139
*********
3140
3141
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
3142
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
3143
(Martin Pool, #415508)
3144
3145
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
3146
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.

3153
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.

API Changes
3159
***********
3160
3161
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3162
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3163
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3164
3165
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
3166
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
3167
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
3168
3169
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
3170
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
3171
should be used. (Robert Collins)

Compatibility Breaks
3177
********************
3178
3179
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
3180
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
3181
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
3182
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.

Bug Fixes
3189
*********
3190
3191
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3192
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3193
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
3194
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
3195
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
3196
3197
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3199
3200
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
3201
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
3202
3203
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3204
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3205
3206
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3207
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3208
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3209
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3210
3211
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
3212
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
3213
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
3214
3215
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3216
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
3217
3218
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3219
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
3220
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
3221
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
3222
3223
Improvements
3224
************
3225
3226
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3227
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3228
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3229
3230
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3231
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3232
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3233
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
3234
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
3235
3236
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3237
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
3238
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.

3250
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
3251
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
3252
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
3253
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
3254
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
3255
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
3256
3257
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
3258
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
3259
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
3260
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
3261
3262
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
3263
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
3264
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
3265
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.

3270
3271
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
3272
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
3273
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
3274
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John

3291
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3292
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3293
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3294
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3295
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3296
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3297
3298
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3299
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3300
or until the following stable release.

New Features
3305
************
3306
3307
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3308
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3309
3310
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3311
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3312
(Martin Pool, #391411)
3313
3314
Bug Fixes
3315
*********
3316
3317
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3318
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3319
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3320
3321
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3322
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3323
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3324
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3325
3326
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3327
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3328
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3329
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3330
3331
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3332
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3333
3334
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3335
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3336
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3337
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3338
3339
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3340
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3341
3342
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3343
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3344
3345
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3346
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3347
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3348
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3349
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3350
3351
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3352
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3353
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3354
3355
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3356
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3357
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3358
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3359
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3360
3361
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3362
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3363
3364
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3365
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3366
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3367
3368
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3369
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3370
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3371
3372
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3373
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3374
3375
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3376
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3377
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3378
3379
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3380
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3381
3382
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3383
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3384
3385
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3386
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3387
3388
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3389
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3390
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3391
3392
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3393
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3394
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3395
3396
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3397
3398
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3399
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3400
3401
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3402
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3403
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3404
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3405
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3406
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3407
3408
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3409
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3410
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3411
3412
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3413
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3414
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3415
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3416
3417
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3418
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3419
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3420
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3421
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3422
3423
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3424
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.

3430
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3431
(Marius Kruger)
3432
3433
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3434
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3435
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3436
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3437
3438
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3439
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and

are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3566
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the

3588
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3589
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3590
3591
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3592
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3593
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3594
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3595
3596
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3597
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3598
3599
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3600
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3601

3602
3603
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3604
(Martin Pool, #321935)

* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3607
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3608
3609
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3610
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3611
3612
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3613
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3614
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3615
3616
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3617

3619
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3620
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)

3622
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3623
of a remote repository.
3624
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)

* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3631
transforms.

3633
3634
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3635
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3636
3637
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3638
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3639
3640
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3641
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3642
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3643
3644
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3645
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3646
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3647
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3648
(John Arbash Meinel)
3649
3650
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3651
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3652
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3653
3654
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3655
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3656
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3657
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3658
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3659
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3660
3661
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3662
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3663
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3664
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3665
activity display respectively.
3666
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3667

* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3669
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3670
3671
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.

* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3682
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3683
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3684
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3685
3686
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3687
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3688
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3689
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3690
(Robert Collins)
3691
3692
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3693
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3694
3695
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3696
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3697
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3698
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3699
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3700
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3701
3702
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3703
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3704
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3705
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3706
3707
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3708
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3709
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3710
(John Arbash Meinel)
3711
3712
3713
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3714
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3715
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3716
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)

3718
3719
Improvements
3720
************
3721
3722
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3723
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3724
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3725
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3726
3727
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3728
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3729
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3730
3731
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3732
(Benoît PIERRE)
3733
3734
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3735
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3736
3737
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3738
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3739
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3740
3741
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3742
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3743
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3744
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)

3774
3775
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3776
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3777
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3778
intermittently.
3779
3780
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3781
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3782
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3783
3784
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3785
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.

Bug Fixes
3788
*********
3789
3790
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3791
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3792
3793
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3794
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3795
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3796
3797
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3798
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3799
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3800
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3801
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3802
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3803
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3804
3805
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3806
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3807
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3808
3809
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3810
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3811
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3812
3813
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3814
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3815
that. (Robert Collins)
3816
3817
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3818
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3819
repository. (Robert Collins)
3820
3821
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3822
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3823
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3824
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
3865
************
3866
3867
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3868
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3869
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3870
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3871
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3872
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3873
in bzr 2.0.
3874
3875
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3876
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3877
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3878
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3879
3880
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3881
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3882
3883
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3884
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3885
3886
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3887
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3888
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3889
3890
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3891
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3892
3893
Improvements
3894
************
3895
3896
3897
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3898
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3899
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3900
3901
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3902
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3903
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3904
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3905
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3906
3907
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3908
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3909
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3910
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3911
3912
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3913
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3914
* diff (2X faster)
3915
* tags (70X faster)
3916

* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3920
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.

``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3932

3933
3934
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3935
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3936
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3937
3938
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3939
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3940
3941
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3942
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3943
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3944
3945
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3946
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3947
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3948

* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3951
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)

* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over

3957
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3958
3959
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3960
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3961
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3962
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3963
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3964
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3965
bug-free) methods.

3971
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3972
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3973
3974
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3975
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3976
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3977
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3978
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3979
3980
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3981
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.

3983
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
4038
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
4039
revisions introduce the exact same line.

4050
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4051
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4052
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4053
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

********************
4062
4063
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
4064
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
4065
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
4066
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)

4070
4071
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4072
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4073
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4074
4075
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
4076
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
4077
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
4078
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4079
4080
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
4081
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
4082
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
4083
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
4084
4085
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4086
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4087
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4088
4089
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
4090
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
4091
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)

Improvements
4094
************
4095
4096
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
4097
server. (Jonathan Lange)
4098
4099
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
4100
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
4101
4102
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
4103
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
4104
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
4105
4106
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)

4110
4111
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
4112
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
4113
4114
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
4115
4116
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
4117
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
4118
4119
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
4120
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
4121
4122
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
4123
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
4124
4125
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
4126
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
4127
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
4128
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
4129
4130
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
4131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
4132
4133
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4134
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4135
4136
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
4137
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
4138
4139
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
4140

4144
4145
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
4146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
4147
4148
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
4149
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4150
4151
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4152
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4153
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4154
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4155
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4156
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4157
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4158
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4159
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4160
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4161
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4162
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4163
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4164
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
4165
4166
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
4167
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
4168
(Robert Collins, #368921)
4169
4170
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.

***********
4178
4179
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
4180
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
4181
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
4182
4183
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
4184
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
4185
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
4186
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.

Internals
4190
*********
4191
4192
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
4193
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
4194
encoding. (Robert Collins)
4195
4196
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
4197
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
4198
(Robert Collins)
4199
4200
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4201
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4202
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4203
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4204
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4205
4206
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4207
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4208
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4209
4210
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4211
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4212
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4213
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4214
4215
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4216
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4217
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4218
4219
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4220
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4221
4222
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4223
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4224
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4225
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4226
4227
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4228
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4229
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4230
4231
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4232
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4233
4234
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4235
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4236
branches. (Robert Collins)
4237
4238
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4239
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4240
4241
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4242

Testing
4244
*******
4245
4246
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in

Compatibility Breaks
4298
********************
4299
4300
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4301
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4302
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4303
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4304
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4305
4306
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4307
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4308
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4309
4310
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4311
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4312
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4313
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4314
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)

New Features
4317
************
4318
4319
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4320
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4321
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4322
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4323
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4324
(Ian Clatworthy)
4325
4326
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4327
(Aaron Bentley)
4328
4329
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4330
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4331
4332
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4333
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4334
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4335
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4336
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4337
4338
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4339
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4340
4341
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4342
(Aaron bentley)
4343
4344
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4345
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4346
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4347
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4348
(Ian Clatworthy)
4349
4350
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4351
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4352
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4353
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4354
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4355
4356
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4357
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4358
(Ian Clatworthy)
4359
4360
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.

Improvements
4364
************
4365
4366
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4367
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4368
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4369
4370
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4371
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4372
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4373
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4374
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4375
4376
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4377
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4378
(Ian Clatworthy)
4379
4380
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4381
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4382
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4383
4384
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4385
(Ian Clatworthy)
4386
4387
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.

4396
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4397
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4398
4399
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4400
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4401
#294479)
4402
4403
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4404
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4405
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4406
4407
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4408
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4409
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4410
(Ian Clatworthy)
4411
4412
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4413
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4414
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4415
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4416
4417
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4418
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4419
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4420
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4421
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4422
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4423
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4424
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,

Bug Fixes
4431
*********
4432
4433
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4434
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4435
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4436
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4437
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4438
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4439
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4440
4441
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4442
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4443
4444
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4445
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4446
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4447
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4448
4449
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4450
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4451
4452
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4453
4454
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4455
#313028)
4456
4457
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4458
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4459
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4460
4461
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4462
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4463
4464
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4465
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4466
4467
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4468
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4469
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4470
4471
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4472
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4473
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4474
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4475
4476
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4477

4481
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4482
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4483
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4484
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4485
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4486
4487
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4488
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4489
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4490
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4491
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4492
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4493
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4494
4495
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4496
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4497
4498
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4499
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4500
(Andrea Bolognani)
4501
4502
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4503
(James Westby, #341558)
4504
4505
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4506
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4507
4508
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4509
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)

*************
4513
4514
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4515
4516
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4517
4518
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
4522
***********
4523
4524
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4525
(Martin Pool)
4526
4527
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4528
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4529
(Robert Collins)
4530
4531
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4532
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4533
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4534
4535
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4536
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4537
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4538
4539
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4540
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4541
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4542
4543
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4544
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4545
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4546
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4547
(Ian Clatworthy)
4548
4549
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4550
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4551
(Jean-Francois Roy)
4552
4553
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4554
(Martin Pool)
4555
4556
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4557
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4558
4559
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4560
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4561
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4562
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4563
4564
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4565
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4566
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4567
4568
Testing
4569
*******
4570
4571
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4572
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4573
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4574
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4575
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4578
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4579
4580
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4581
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4582
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4583
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4584
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4585
4586
Internals
4587
*********
4588
4589
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4590
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4591
4592
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4593
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4594
4595
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4596
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4597
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4598
4599
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4600
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4601
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4602
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4603
4604
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4605
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4606
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4607
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4608
4609
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4610
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4611
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4612
4613
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4614
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4615
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4616
4617
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4618
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4619
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4620
4621
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4622
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4623
(Robert Collins)
4624
4625
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4626
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4627
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4628
4629
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4630
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4631
4632
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4633
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4634
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4635
4636
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4637
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4638
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4639
4640
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4641
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4642
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4643
4644
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4645
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4646
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4647
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4648
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4649
4650
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4651
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4652
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4653
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4654
4655
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4656
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4657
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4658
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4659
4660
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4661
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4662
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4663
4664
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4665
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4666
(Andrew Bennetts)
4667
4668
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4669
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4670
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4671
4672
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4673
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4674
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4675
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4676
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4677
4678
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4679
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4680
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4681
Vincent Ladeuil)
4682
4683
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4684
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4685
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4686
desired. (Robert Collins)
4687
4688
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4689
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4690
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4691
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4692
4693
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4694
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4695
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

4711
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4712
*****************************
4713
4714
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4715
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4716
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4717
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4718
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4719
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4720
appeared now.
4721

Bug Fixes
4723
*********
4724
4725
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
4726
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
4727
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4728
4729
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4730
********************************
4731
4732
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4733
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4734
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
4735
4736
Bug Fixes
4737
*********
4738
4739
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
4740
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4741
4742
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4743
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4744
4745
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4746
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4747
4748
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4749
4750
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
4751
*********************************
4752
4753

4754
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4755
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4756

Compatibility Breaks
4761
********************
4762

New Features
4769
************
4770
4771
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4772
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4773
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4774
4775
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4776
(Martin Pool)
4777
4778
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4779
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4780
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4781
(Ian Clatworthy)
4782
4783
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4784
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4785
4786
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4787
(John Arbash Meinel)
4788
4789
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4790
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4791
4792
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4793
4794
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4795
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4796
(Jonathan Lange)
4797
4798
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4799
(Jonathan Lange)
4800
4801
Improvements
4802
************
4803
4804
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4805
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4806
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4807
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4808
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4809
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4810
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4811
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4812
(Robert Collins)
4813
4814
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4815
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4816
4817
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4818
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4819
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4820
4821
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4822
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4823
4824
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4825
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4826
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4827
(Ian Clatworthy)
4828
4829
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4830
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4831
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4832
4833
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4834
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4835
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4836
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4837
4838
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4839
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4840
4841
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4842
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4843
4844
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4845
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4846
4847
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4848
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4849
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4850
4851
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4852
4853
Bug Fixes
4854
*********
4855
4856
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4857
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4858
4859
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4860
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4861
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4862
4863
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4864
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4866
4867
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4868
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4869
4870
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4871
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4872
Vernooij, #315048)
4873
4874
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4875
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4876
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4877
4878
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4879
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4880
4881
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4882
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4883
4884
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4885
(James Westby, #174539)
4886
4887
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4888
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4889
4890
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4891
error branching from old repositories.
4892
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4893
4894
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4895
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4896
4897
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4898
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4899
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4900
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4901
4902
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4903
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4904
#334808)
4905
4906
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4907
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4908
4909
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4910
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4911
4912
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4913
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4914
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4915
4916
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4917
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4918
4919
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.

4930
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4931
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4932
4933
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
4937
***********
4938
4939
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4940
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4941
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4942
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4943
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4944
4945
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4946
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4947
4948
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4949
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4950
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4951
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4952
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4953
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4954
4955
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4956
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4957
4958
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4959
"author" argument being deprecated.
4960
4961
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4962
4963
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4964
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4965
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4966
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4967
4968
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4969
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4970
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4971
4972
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4973
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4974
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4975
4976
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4977
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4978
4979
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4980
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4981
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4982
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4983
4984
Internals
4985
*********
4986
4987
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4988
free of virtual file system methods.
4989
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4990
4991
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4992
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4993
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4994
4995
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4996
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4997
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4998
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4999
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
5000
(Robert Collins, #334187)
5001
5002
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
5003
5004
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
5005
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
5006
5007
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5008
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5009
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5010
stream the operation.
5011
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5012
5013
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5014
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5015
5016
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5017
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5018
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5019
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5020
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5021
5022
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5023
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5024
5025
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5026
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5027
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5030
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5031
(Robert Collins)
5032
5033
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5034
(Robert Collins)
5035
5036
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5037
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5038
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5039
5040
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5041
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5042
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5043
5044
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5045
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5046
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5047
5048
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5049
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5050
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5051
5052
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5053
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5054
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5055
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5056
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5057
5058
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5059
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5060
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5061
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5062
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5063
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5064
5065
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5066
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5067
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5068
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5069
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5070
5071
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5072
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5073
5074
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5075
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5076
5077
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5078
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5079
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5080
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5081
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5082
5083
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5084
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

5095
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5096
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5097
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5098
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5099
by showing the rate of network IO.

Changes from RC1 to Final
5102
*************************
5103
5104
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5105
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5106
5107
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5108
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5109
5110
Compatibility Breaks
5111
********************
5112
5113
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5114
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5115
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5116
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5117
5118
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5119
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5120
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5121
(Ian Clatworthy)
5122
5123
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5124
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5125
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5126
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5127
5128
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5129
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5130
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5131
(Ian Clatworthy)
5132
5133
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5134
5135
New Features
5136
************
5137
5138
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5139
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5140
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5141
(Marius Kruger)
5142
5143
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5144
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5145
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5146
5147
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5148
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5149
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5150
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5151
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5152
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5153
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5154
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5155
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5156
(Ian Clatworthy)
5157
5158
Improvements
5159
************
5160
5161
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5162
(Daniel Watkins)
5163
5164
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5165
(Marius Kruger)
5166
5167
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5168
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5169
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5170
5171
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5172
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5173
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5174
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5175
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5176
5177
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5178
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5179
5180
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5181
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5182
level for better precision.
5183
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5184
5185
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5186
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5187
5188
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5189
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5190
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5191
5192
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5193
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5194
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5195
(Andrew Bennetts)
5196
5197
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5198
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5199
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5200
5201
Bug Fixes
5202
*********
5203
5204
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5205
anymore.
5206
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5207
5208
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5209
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5210
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5211
5212
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5213
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5214
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5215
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5216
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5217
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5218
5219
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5220
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5221
5222
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5223
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5224
5225
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5226
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5227
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5228
5229
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5230
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5231
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5232
(Andrew Bennetts)
5233
5234
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5235
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5236
5237
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5238
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5239
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5240
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5241
5242
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5243
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5244
handled.
5245
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5246
5247
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)

* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5258
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5259
(Martin Pool)
5260
5261
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5262
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5263
5264
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5265
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5266
5267
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5268
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5269
5270
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5271
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5272
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5273
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5274
5275
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5276
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5277
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5278
5279
Internals
5280
*********
5281
5282
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5283
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5284
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5285
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5286
compile buffers, are such an example).
5287
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5288
5289
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5290
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5291
(Ian Clatworthy)
5292
5293
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5294
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5295
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5296
(Ian Clatworthy)
5297
5298
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5299
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5300
5301
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5302
formatters to retrict the output.

5312
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5313
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5314
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5315
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5316
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5317
5318
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5319
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5320
advice.
5321
5322
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5323
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly

marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)

5348
New Features
5349
************
5350
5351
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5352
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5353
5354
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5355
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5356
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5357
implement other plugins.
5358

5364
************
5365
5366
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5367
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5368
5369
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5370
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5371
5372
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5373
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5374
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5375
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5376
(Mark Hammond)
5377
5378
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5379
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5380
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5381
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5382
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5383
5384
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5385
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5386
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5387
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5388
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

5479
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5480
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5481
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5482
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5483
5484
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5485
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5486
5487
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5488
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5489
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5490
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5491
5492
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5493
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5494
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5495
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)

* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5501
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5502
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5503
5504
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5505
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5506
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5507
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5508
5509
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5510
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending

5518
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5519
(John Arbash Meinel)
5520
5521
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5522
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5523
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5524
(John Arbash Meinel)
5525
5526
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5527
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5528
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5529
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5530
5531
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5532
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5533
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5534
5535
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5536
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5537
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5538
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5539
5540
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5541
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5542
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5543
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5544
(John Arbash Meinel)
5545
5546
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5547
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5548
5549
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5550
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5551
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5552
5553
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5554
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5555
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5556
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5557
5558
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5559
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5560
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5561
(John Arbash Meinel)
5562
5563
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5564
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5565
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5566
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5567
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5568
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5569
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5570
5571
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5572
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

5581
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5582
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5583
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5584
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5585
implementation.
5586
5587
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.

5589
bug Fixes
5590
*********
5591
5592
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5593
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5594
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5595
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5596
5597
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5598
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5599
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5600
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5601
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5610
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5611
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5612
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5613
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features
5616
************
5617
5618
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5619
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5620
5621
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
5625
************
5626
5627
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5628
history just to set the last revision info.
5629
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5630
5631
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5632
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5633
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5634
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5635
5636
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5637
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5638
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5639
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5640
(John Arbash Meinel)
5641
5642
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5643
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5644
5645
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5646
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5647
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5648
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5649
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5650
5651
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5652
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5653
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5654
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
5655
5656
Bug Fixes
5657
*********
5658
5659
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5660
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5661
5662
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5663
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5664
5665
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5666
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5667
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5668
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5669
5670
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5671
starting with a dotted revno.
5672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5673
5674
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5675
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5676
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5677
5678
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5679
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5680
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5681
5682
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5683
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5684
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5685
5686
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5687
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5688
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5689
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5690
5691
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5692
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5693
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5694
5695
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

API Changes
5699
***********
5700
5701
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5702
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5703
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5704
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5705
5706
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5707
have changed incompatibly.
5708
5709
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5710
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5711
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5712
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5713
don't need to change.
5714
5715
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5716
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

:Released: 2008-11-07
5731
5732
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5733
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5734
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5735
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5736
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5737
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5738
5739

* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)

************
5759
5760
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5761
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5762
5763
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5764
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5765
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5766
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5767
5768
Improvements
5769
************
5770
5771
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5772
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5773
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5774
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5775
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5776
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5777
5778
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5779
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5780
5781
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5782
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5783
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5784
5785
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5786
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5787
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5788
(Andrew Bennetts)
5789
5790
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5791
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5792
5793
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5794
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5795
5796
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5797
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5798
5799
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5800
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5801
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5802
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5803
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5804
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5805
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5806
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5807
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5808
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
5811
*********
5812
5813
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5814
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5815
5816
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5817
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5818
5819
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5820
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5821
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5822
5823
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5824
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5825
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5826
5827
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5828
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5829
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5830
5831
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5832
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5833
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5834
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5835
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5836
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5837
5838
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5839
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5840
5841
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5842
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5843
5844
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5845
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5846
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5847
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5848
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)

5877
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
5878
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
5879
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
5880
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
5881
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.

Changes
5902
*******
5903
5904
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5905
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5906
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5907
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5908
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5909
5910
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5911
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
5912
5913
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
5914
server. (Marius Kruger)
5915
5916
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5917
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5918
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5919
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5920
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
5921
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

Improvements
5933
************
5934
5935
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5936
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5937
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5938
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5939
5940
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5941
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5942
(Daniel Watkins)
5943
5944
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5945
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
5946
(Andrew Bennetts)
5947
5948
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.

5952
5953
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
5954
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
5955
5956
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5957
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5958
5959
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5960
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5961
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5962
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5963
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5964
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5965
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5966
operations. (Robert Collins)
5967
5968
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
5969
5970
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
5971
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
5972
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)

6009
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
6010
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6011
6012
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
6013
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
6014
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
6015
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
6016

6075
6076

6077
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
6078
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)

* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
6090
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
6091
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
6092
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

************
6207
6208
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6209
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6210
(Martin Pool)
6211
6212
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6213
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6214
6215
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6216
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6217
(Marius Kruger)
6218
6219
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6220
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6221
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6222
(John Arbash Meinel)
6223
6224
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6225
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6226
6227
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6228
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6229
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6230
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6231
(John Arbash Meinel)
6232
6233
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6234
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6235
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6236
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6237
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6238
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6239
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6240
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6241
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6242
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
6245
*********
6246
6247
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6248
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6249
6250
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6251
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6252
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6253
6254
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6255
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6256
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6257
6258
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6259
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6260
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6261
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6262
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6263
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6264
6265
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6266
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6267
6268
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6269
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6270
6271
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6272
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6273
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6274
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6275
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6276
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
6277
6278
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6279
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6280
6281
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6282
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6283
6284
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6285
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6286
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6287
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6288
6289
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6290
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6291
6292
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6293
assuming the host name is ascii.
6294
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
6295

* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6350

6362
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6363
6364
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6365
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6366
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6367
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

6399
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6400
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6401
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6402
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6403
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6404
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6405
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6406
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6407
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6408
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6409
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6410
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

6413
*********
6414
6415
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6416
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6417
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6418
start of the string (causing more copies).
6419
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6420
especially for projects with large files.
6421
(John Arbash Meinel)
6422
6423
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6424
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6425
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6426
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6427
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6428
6429
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6430
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6431
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6432
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6433
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
6443
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6444
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6445
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6446
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6447
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6448
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6449
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6450
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking

6590
(James Westby)
6591
6592
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6593
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6594
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6595
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6596
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.

6655
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6656
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6657
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6658
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6659
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6660
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.

6666
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6667
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6668
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6669
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6670
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very

useful. (John Arbash Meinel)

6738
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6739

* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6820
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6821
6822
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6823
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6824
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6825
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)

API Changes
6828
***********
6829
6830
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6831
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6832
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6833
Repository docstring for more details.
6834
(Robert Collins)
6835
6836
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6837
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6838
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6839
6840
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6841
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6842
(Daniel Watkins)
6843
6844
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6845
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6846
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6847
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
6848
6849
Internals
6850
*********
6851
6852
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
6853
(Alexander Belchenko)
6854
6855
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6856
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6857
containing a given location.
6858
(Daniel Watkins)
6859
6860
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6861
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6862
storage. (Robert Collins)
6863
6864
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6865
(Robert Collins)
6866
6867
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
6868
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

6876
6877
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
6878
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
6879
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
6880
now faster.
6881
6882
Bug Fixes
6883
*********
6884
6885
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6886
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6887
reading from the repository.)
6888
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
6889
6890
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6891
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6892
6893
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
6894
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
6895
(Andrew Bennetts)
6896
6897
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6898
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6899
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6900
6901
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6902
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6903
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6904
6905
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6906
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6907
6908
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6909
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6910
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
6911
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)

Improvements
6914
************
6915
6916
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
6917
6918
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
6919
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
6920
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
6921
(Adrian Wilkins)
6922
6923
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.

API Changes
6938
***********
6939
6940
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6941
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6942
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6943
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6944
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6945
6946
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
6947
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)

6954
6955
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
6956
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

:Released: 2008-06-02
6962
6963
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6964
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6965
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6966
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6967
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6968
and future extensions.
6969
6970
6971
Notes When Upgrading
6972
********************
6973
6974
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6975
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6976
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6977
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6978
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6979
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6980
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6981
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)

6983
Changes
6984
*******
6985
6986
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6987
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.

Features
6991

6992
6993
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6994
load. (James Westby)
6995
6996
Improvements
6997
************
6998
6999
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
7000
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
7001
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
7002
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7003
7004
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
7005
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
7006
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7007
7008
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7009
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7010
7011
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7012
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7013
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7014
7015
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7016
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7017
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7018
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7019
step closer to not using full revision history.
7020
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
7021
7022
Bugfixes
7023
********
7024
7025
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
7026
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
7027
7028
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7029
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7030
7031
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
7032
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
7033
7034
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
7035
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
7036
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
7037
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
7038
7039
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
7040
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
7041
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
7042
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
7043
7044
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
7045
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
7046
in use by another process.
7047
(Martin Pool)
7048
7049
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
7050
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
7051
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
7052
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
7053
7054
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
7055
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
7056
7057
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
7058
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
7059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
7060
7061
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
7062
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
7063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
7064
7065
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
7066
them.
7067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
7068
7069
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
7070
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
7071
7072
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
7073
under vim on Mac OS X.
7074
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7075
7076

7110
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
7111
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
7112
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
7113
(John Arbash Meinel)
7114
7115
API Changes
7116
***********
7117
7118
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7119
instead. (Martin Pool)
7120
7121
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7122
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7123
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7124
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7125
7126
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7127
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7128
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7129
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7130
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7131
7132
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7133
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7134
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7135
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7136
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7137
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7138
7139
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7140
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7141
(Martin Pool)
7142
7143
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7144
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7145
(Robert Collins)
7146
7147
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7148
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7149
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7150
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7151
7152
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7153
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7154
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7155
7156
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7157
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7158
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7159
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7160
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7161
(Martin Pool)
7162
7163
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7164
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7165
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7166
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7167
(Robert Collins)
7168
7169
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7170
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7171
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7172
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7173
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7174
7175
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

7235
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
7236
7237
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
7238
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
7239
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
7240

* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
7291
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
7292
7293
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
7294
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
7295

* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
7317
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
7318
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
7319
7320
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
7321
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
7322
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
7323
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7324
7325
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
7326
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7327
7328
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
7329
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
7330
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
7331
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7332
7333
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
7334
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
7335
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
7336
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)

7364
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),

This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
7382
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
7383
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
7384
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
7385
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
7386
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
7387
and faster performance.

Changes
7430
*******
7431
7432
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
7433
7434
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
7435
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
7436
7437
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
7438
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
7439
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
7440
7441
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
7442
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
7443
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
7444
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
7445
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7446
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
7447
Andrew Cowie)
7448
7449
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
7450
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
7451
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
7452
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)

7454
Features
7455
********
7456
7457
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
7458
7459
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
7460
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7461
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
7462
7463
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
7464
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
7465
See the User Reference for signature details.
7466
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
7467
7468
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
7469
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
7470
7471
Improvements
7472
************
7473
7474
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7475
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7476
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7477
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7478
7479
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7480
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7481
7482
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7483
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7484
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7485
Wouter van Heyst)
7486
7487
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7488
(Chad Miller)
7489
7490
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7491
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7492
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7493
7494
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7495
(Aaron Bentley)
7496
7497
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7498
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7499
7500
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7501
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7502
7503
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7504
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7505
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7506
7507
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7508
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7509
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7510
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7511
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7512
7513
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7514
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7515
7516
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7517
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7518
7519
Bugfixes
7520
********
7521
7522
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7523
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7524
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7525
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7526
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7527
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7528
7529
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7530
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7531
7532
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7533
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7534
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7535
7536
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7537
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7538
7539
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7540
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7541
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7542
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7543
7544
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7545
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7546
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7547
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7548
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7549
7550
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7551
7552
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7553
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7554
7555
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7556
7557
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7558
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7559
7560
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

7567
7568
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
7569
7570
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)

API Breaks
7575
**********
7576
7577
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7578
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7579
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7580
7581
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7582
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7583
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7584
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7585
7586
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7587
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7588
release. (James Westby)
7589
7590
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7591
(Andrew Bennetts)
7592
7593
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7594
7595
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7596
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7597
7598
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7599
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7600
7601
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7602
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7603
7604
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7605
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7606
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7607
7608
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7609
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7610
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7611
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7612
7613
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7614
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7615
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7616
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7617
7618
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7619
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7620
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7621
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7622
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7623
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7624
7625
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7626
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7627
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7628
7629
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7630
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7631
7632
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7633
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7634
(Robert Collins)
7635
7636
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7637
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
7638
7639
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7640
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7641
7642
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7643
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7644
7645
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7646
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7647
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7648
7649
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7650
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7651
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7652
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7653
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7654
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7655
7656
Testing
7657
*******
7658
7659
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7660
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7661
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7662
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7663
7664
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7665
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7666
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7667
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7668
implement this).
7669
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7670
7671
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
7672
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
7673
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7674
7675
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
7676
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

7678
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
7679
7680
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
7681
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
7682
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
7683
7684
Internals
7685
*********
7686
7687
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7688
7689
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
7690
(Martin Albisetti)
7691
7692
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7693
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7694
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7695
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7696
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
7697
(Martin Pool, #109520)
7698
7699
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7700
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7701
7702
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7703
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7704
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7705
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
7706
7707
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7708
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
7709
7710
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
7711
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

********************
7762
7763
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
7764
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7765
7766
Changes
7767
*******
7768
7769
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7770
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7771
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7772
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7773
(Robert Collins)
7774
7775
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7776
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7777
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7778
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7779
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7780
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7781
7782
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7783
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7784
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7785
(Alexander Belchenko)
7786
7787
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7788
7789
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
7790
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)

7794
7795
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
7796
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
7797
7798
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
7799
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.

Improvements
7803
************
7804
7805
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7806
7807
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7808
7809
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7810
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7811
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7812
7813
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7814
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7815
7816
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7817
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7818
7819
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7820
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7821
(Alexander Belchenko)
7822
7823
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7824
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7825
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7826
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7827
7828
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7829
(Daniel Watkins)
7830
7831
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7832
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7833
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7834
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7835
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7836
7837
Bugfixes
7838
********
7839
7840
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
7841
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
7842
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
7843
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
7844
7845
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
7846
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
7847
7848
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
7849
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
7850
7851
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
7852
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
7853
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
7854
7855
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
7856
(#198793, John Ferlito)
7857
7858
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
7859
#196618)
7860
7861
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
7862
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
7863
7864
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
7865
7866
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
7867
7868
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
7869
symlinks (James Henstridge)
7870
7871
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
7872
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
7873
7874
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
7875
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
7876
7877
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
7878
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
7879
7880
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
7881
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
7882
7883
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
7884
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)

``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
7897
(Alexander Belchenko)
7898
7899
Testing
7900
*******
7901
7902
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
7903
7904
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
7905
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
7906
(Robert Collins)
7907
7908
Internals
7909
*********
7910
7911
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7912
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7913
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7914
7915
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7916
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7917
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7918
(Alexander Belchenko)
7919
7920
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7921
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7922
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7923
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7924
7925
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7926
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7927
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7928
(Robert Collins)
7929
7930
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7931
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
7932
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
7933
7934
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
7935
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7936
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7937
7938
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7939
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7940
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
7941
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7961
********************
7962
7963
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7964
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7965
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7966
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7967
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7968
(Andrew Bennetts)
7969
7970
Changes
7971
*******
7972
7973
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7974
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7975
7976
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7977
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7978
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7979
7980
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7981
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7982
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7983
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7984
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7985
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7986
(Aaron Bentley)
7987
7988
Features
7989
********
7990
7991
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7992
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7993
7994
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7995
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7996
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7997
(Robert Collins)
7998
7999
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
8000
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
8001
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
8002
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
8003
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
8004
8005
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
8006
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
8007
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8008
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8009
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8010
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8011
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8012
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
8013
8014
Improvements
8015
************
8016
8017
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8018
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8019
8020
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8021
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8022
8023
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8024
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8025
8026
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8027
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8028
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8029
8030
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8031
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

Bugfixes
8035
********
8036
8037
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8038
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8039
8040
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8041
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8042
8043
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8044
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8045
8046
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8047
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8048
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8049
8050
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8051
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8052
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8053
8054
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8055
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8056
8057
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8058
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8059
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8060
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8061
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8062
unittest runner.
8063
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8064
8065
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8066
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8067
#185907)
8068
8069
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8070
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8071
8072
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8073
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8074
8075
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8077
8078
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8079
more characters which should be considered valid.
8080
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8081
8082
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8083
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8084
8085
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8086
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)

**********
8090
8091
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8092
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8093
8094
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8095
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)

8107
8108
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8109
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8110
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8111
8112
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8113
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8114
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8115
8116
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8117
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8118
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8119
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8120
8121
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8122
8123
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8124
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8125
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8126
server. (Robert Collins)
8127
8128
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8129
operate. (Robert Collins)
8130
8131
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8132
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8133
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8134
8135
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8136
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8137
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8138
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8139
8140
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8141
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8142
8143
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8144
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8145
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8146
8147
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8148
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8149
8150
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8151
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8152
8153
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8154
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8155
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8156
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

8173
8174
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8175
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8176
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8177
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8178
8179
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8180
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has

8201
8202
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8203

--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8205
8206
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8207
8208
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8209
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8210
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8211
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8212
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8213
8214
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8215
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8216
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8526
********************
8527
8528
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8529
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8530
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8531
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8532
8533
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8534
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8535
8536
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8537
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8538
8539
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8540
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8541
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8542
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8543
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8544
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8545
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8546
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8547
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8548
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8549
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8550
from any tree without problems.

8594
8595
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8596

iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such

paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
8819
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
8820
8821
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
8822
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
8823
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8824
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8825
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8826
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8827
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8828
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8829
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8830
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8831
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8832
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

********
8837
8838
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
8839
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
8840
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
8841
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
8842
commands. (Robert Collins)
8843
8844
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
8845
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
8846
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.

8855

Performance
8863

8865
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
8866
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
8867
8868
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
8869
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8870
8871
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8872
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8873
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8874
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8875
8876
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8877
(Robert Collins)
8878
8879
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8880
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8881
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8882
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8883
8884
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8885
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)

8888

8927
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8928
8929

* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8933
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8934
8935
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8936
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8937
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8938
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8939
8940
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8941
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8942
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8943
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8944
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8945
8946
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8947
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8948
paramiko.

9008
9009
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9010

9011
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9012
9013
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9014
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9015

* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9035
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9036
9037
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9038
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9039
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9040
9041
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer

inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9044
(Robert Collins)
9045
9046
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9047
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9048
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the

housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9058
9059
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9060
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9061
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9062
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)

9070
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)

9073

9074
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9075

* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9077

9078
9079
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9080

* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9087

9088
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9089
9090
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9091
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9092
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9093
9094
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9095
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9096
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9097
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9098
9099
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9100
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9101
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9102
returned. (Robert Collins)
9103
9104
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9105
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9106
9107
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9108

9109
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9110
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.

9123
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate

or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9205
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9206
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9207
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9208
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9209
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9210
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9211
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9212
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9213
9214
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9215
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9216
9217
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9218
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9219
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9220

Bug Fixes
9222
*********
9223
9224
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9225
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9226
9227
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9228
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9229
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9230
9231
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9232
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9233
9234
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9235
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9236
9237
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9238
(Aaron Bentley)
9239
9240
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9241
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9242
9243
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9244
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9245
9246
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9247
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9248
9249
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9250
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9251
9252
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9253
9254
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9255
Watkins, #106726)
9256
9257
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9258
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9259
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9260
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9261
9262
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9263
9264
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9265
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9266
#133548)
9267
9268
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9269
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9270
9271
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9272
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9273
#116143)
9274
9275
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9276
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9277
9278
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9279
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9280
9281
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9282
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9283
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9284
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9285
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9286
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9287
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9288
9289
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9290
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9291
9292
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9293
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9294
9295
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9296
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9297
9298
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9300
9301
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9302
connections.
9303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9304
9305
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9306
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9307
9308
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9309
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9310
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9311
9312
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9313
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9314
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)

Improvements
9317
************
9318
9319
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9320
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9321
9322
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9323
(Aaron Bentley)
9324
9325
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9326
(Aaron Bentley)
9327
9328
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9329
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9330
9331
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9332
9333
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9334
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9335
9336
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9337
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9338
9339
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9340
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9341
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9342
space). (Robert Collins)
9343
9344
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9345
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9346
(Ian Clatworthy)
9347
9348
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9349
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9350
9351
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9352
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9353
9354
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9355
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9356
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9357
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9358
9359
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9360
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9361
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9362
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9363
9364
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9365
(Ian Clatworthy)
9366
9367
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9368
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9369
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9370
9371
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9372
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9373
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9374
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9375
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
9376
9377
API Breaks
9378
**********
9379
9380
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9381
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9382
9383
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9384
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9385
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9386
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9387
affected. (Robert Collins)
9388
9389
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9390
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9391
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9392
(Robert Collins)
9393
9394
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9395
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9396
9397
Testing
9398
*******
9399
9400
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
9401
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
9402
9403
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9404
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9405
9406
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9407
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9408
9409
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9410
(Aaron Bentley)
9411
9412
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9413
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9414
9415
Internals
9416
*********
9417
9418
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9419
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9420
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9421
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9422
9423
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9424
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9425
9426
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9427
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9428
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9429
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9430
9431
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9432
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9433
present. (Robert Collins)
9434
9435
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9436
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9437
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9438
API. (Robert Collins)
9439
9440
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9441
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9442
(Robert Collins)
9443
9444
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9445
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9446
9447
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9448
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9449
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9450
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9451
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9452
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9453
9454
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9455
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9456
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9457
9458
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9459
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9460
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9461
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9462
protocol.
9463
9464
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9465
(Aaron Bentley)
9466
9467
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9468
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9469
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9470
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9471
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9472
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9473
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9474
9475
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9476
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9477
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9478
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9479
9480
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9481
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9482
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9483
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9484
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9485
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9486
9487
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9488
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9489
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9490
9491
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9492
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

************
9502
9503
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
9504
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
9505
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
9506
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
9507
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
9508
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
9509
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

***********
9515
9516
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
9517
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
9518
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

Bugfixes
9527
********
9528
9529
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9530
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9531
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9532
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9533
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9534
9535
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9536
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9537
9538
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9539
anymore.
9540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9541
9542
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9543
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9544
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9545
9546
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9547
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9548
#111664)
9549
9550
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9551
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9552
9553
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9554
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9555
9556
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9557
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9558
9559
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9560
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9561
9562
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9563
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9564
9565
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9566
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
9567
9568
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.

Improvements
9572
************
9573
9574
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9575
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9576
9577
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9578
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9579
9580
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9581
the repository (Robert Collins)
9582
9583
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9584
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9585
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9586
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9587
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9588
9589
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9590
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9591
9592
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9593
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9594
(John Arbash Meinel)
9595
9596
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9597
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9598
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9599
about 10%).
9600
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9601
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9602
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9603
(John Arbash Meinel)
9604
9605
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9606
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9607
(Robert Collins)
9608
9609
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9610
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9611
9612
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9613
(Ian Clatworthy)
9614
9615
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9616
9617
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9618
9619
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9620
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9621
9622
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9623
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9624
Meinel)
9625
9626
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9627
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9628
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9629
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9630
9631
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9632
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9633
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9634
9635
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9636
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9637
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9638
9639
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9640
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9641
9642
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9643
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9644
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9645
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9646
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9647
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9648
(Ian Clatworthy)
9649
9650
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
9651
(Alexander Belchenko)
9652
9653
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
9654
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9655
9656
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9657
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)

******************
9666
9667
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9668
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9669
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9670
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9671
9672
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9673
9674
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9675
(Robert Collins)
9676
9677
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9678
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9679
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9680
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9681
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9682
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)

9687
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9688
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9689
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9690
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9691
9692
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9693
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9694
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9695
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9696
tests have been refactored too.
9697
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9698
9699
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9700
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9701
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9702
list, it will.
9703
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9704
9705
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9706
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9707
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9708
9709
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9710
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9711
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9712
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9713
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9714
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9715
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9716
9717
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9718
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9719
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9720
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9721
(John Arbash Meinel)
9722
9723
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9724
functionality for testing.
9725
9726
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9727
9728
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9729
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9730
9731
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9732
9733
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9734
(Robert Collins)
9735
9736
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9737
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9738
9739
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9740
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9741
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9742
9743
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9744
(Aaron Bentley)
9745
9746
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9747
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9748
9749
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9750
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9751
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9752
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9753
9754
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9755
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9756
9757
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9758
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9759
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9760
9761
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9762
(Marius Kruger)
9763
9764
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9765
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9766
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9767
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9768
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9769
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9770
9771
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9772
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9773
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9774
many files. (Robert Collins)
9775
9776
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9777
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9778
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9779
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9780
9781
Testing
9782
*******
9783
9784
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9785
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9786
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9787
9788
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9789
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9790
9791
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9792
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9793
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
9861
************
9862
9863
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9864
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9865
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9866
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9867
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
9868
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
9869
9870
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
9871
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
9872
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
9873
9874
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9875
(Elliot Murphy)
9876
9877
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9878
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9879
9880
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9881
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9882
9883
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9884
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9885
9886
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9887
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9888
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9889
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9890
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9891
9892
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9893
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9894
9895
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9896
can be slow it is useful feedback).

* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9969
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9970
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9971
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9972

* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9995
9996
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and

10001
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
10002
10003
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
10004
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
10005
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
10006
10007
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10008
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10009
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10010
10011
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for

10026
*******
10027
10028
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10029
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10030
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10031
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10032
10033
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10034
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10035
testing. (Robert Collins)
10036
10037
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10038
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10039
10040
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10041
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10042
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10043
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10044
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10045
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10046
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10047
10048
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10049
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10050
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10051
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10052
10053
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10054
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10055

Notes When Upgrading
10082
********************
10083
10084
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10085
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10086
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10087
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10088
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10089
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10090
and unlock() like so::
10091
10092
work_tree.lock_read()
10093
try:
10094
kind = work_tree.kind(...)

10103
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids

have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10126
understanding what changes have occurred
10127
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)

10129
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10130
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10131
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10132
10133
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10134
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10135
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10136
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.

We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
10146

Notes When Upgrading
10245
********************
10246
10247
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
10248
it could be recovered again.
10249
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10250
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
10251
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
10252
but not delete it.
10253
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
10254
files.
10255
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

10261
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10262
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10263
10264
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10265
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10266
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10267
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10268
10269
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10270
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10271
10272
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10273
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10274
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10275
10276
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10277
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10278
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10279
10280
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10281
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10282
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10283
10284
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10285
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10286
Robert Collins)
10287
10288
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10289
Pool)
10290
10291
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10292
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10293
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10294
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10295
10296
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10297
(Robert Collins)
10298
10299
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10300
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10301
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10302
(Robert Collins)
10303
10304
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10305
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10306
10307
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10308
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10309
10310
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10311
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10312
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10313
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10314
(Robert Collins)
10315
10316
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10317
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10318
10319
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.

* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10323
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10324
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10325
10326
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10327
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10328
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10329
10330
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10331
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10332
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10333
10334
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10335
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10336
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10337
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10338
10339
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10340
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10341
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10342
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10343
10344
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10345
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10346
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10347
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10348
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10349
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10350
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10351
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10352
header(s).

*********
10357
10358
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10359
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10360
10361
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10362
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10363
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10364
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10365
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10366
10367
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10368
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10369
10370
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10371
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10372
10373
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10374
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10375
10376
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10377
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10378
10379
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10380
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10381
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10382
(Robert Collins).
10383
10384
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10385
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10386
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10387
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10388
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10389
(Robert Collins)
10390
10391
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10392
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10393
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10394
10395
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10396
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10397
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10398
10399
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10400
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10401
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10402
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10403
10404
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10405
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10406
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10407
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10408
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10409
10410
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10411
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10412
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10413
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10414
10415
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10416
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10417
10418
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10419
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10420
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10421
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10422
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10423
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10424
10425
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10426
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10427
10428
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10429
help. (Robert Collins)
10430
10431
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10432
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10433
10434
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10435
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10436
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10437
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10438
(John Arbash Meinel)
10439
10440
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10441
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10442
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10443
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10444
useful. (Robert Collins)
10445
10446
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

10515
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10516

* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10518

10519
10520
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10521
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10522
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10523
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10524
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10525
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10526
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10527
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10528
10529
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10530
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10531
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10532
10533
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10534
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10535
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10536
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10537
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10538
access.

10579
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10580
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10581
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10582
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10583
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10584
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10585
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10586
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
10587
path. (vila)

10594
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
10595

(John Arbash Meinel)
10603
10604
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
10605
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
10606
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
10607
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
10608
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

Surprises
10704
*********
10705
10706
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10707
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10708
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10709
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10710
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10711
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10712
10713
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10714
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10715
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10716
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10717
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10718
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10719
development.
10720
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10721
10722
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10723
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10724
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10725
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10726
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10727
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10728
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10729
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

Improvements
10732
************
10733
10734
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10735
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10736
10737
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10738
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10739
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10740
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10741
does exist.
10742
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10743
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10744
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10745
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10746
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10747
10748
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10749
(Aaron Bentley)
10750
10751
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10752
(Aaron Bentley)
10753
10754
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10755
(Robert Collins)
10756
10757
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10758
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10759
(Aaron Bentley)
10760
10761
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10762
(Aaron Bentley)
10763
10764
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10765
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10766
10767
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10768
directory. (Martin Pool)
10769
10770
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10771
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10772
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10773
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10774
10775
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10776
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10777
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10778
in docs/configuration.txt.
10779
10780
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10781
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10782
bind location.
10783
10784
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10785
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10786
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10787
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10788
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10789
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10790
10791
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10792
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10793
10794
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10795
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10796
10797
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

*********
10802
10803
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10804
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10805
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10806
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10807
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10808
(John Arbash Meinel)
10809
10810
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10811
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10812
(Aaron Bentley)
10813
10814
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10815
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10816
(John Arbash Meinel)
10817
10818
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10819
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10820
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10821
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10822
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10823
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10824
10825
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10826
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10827
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10828
10829
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10830
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10831
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10832
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10833
repository.
10834
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10835
10836
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10837
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10838
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10839
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10840
10841
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10842
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10843
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10844
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10845
10846
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10847
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10848
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10849
10850
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10851
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10852
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10853
10854
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10855
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10856
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10857
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10858
10859
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10860
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10861
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10862
10863
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10864
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10865
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10866
10867
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10868
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10869
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10870
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10871
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10872
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10873
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10874
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10875
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

11023

* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
11048
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
11049
11050
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11051
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
11052
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
11053
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
11054
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
11055
11056
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
11057
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
11058
11059
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
11060
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
11061
11062
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
11063
matcher.
11064
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
11065
11066
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
11067
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
11068
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
11069
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
11070
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
11071
11072
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
11073
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
11074
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
11075
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
11107
tree from a branch.
11108
(Daniel Silverstone)
11109
11110
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
11111
operations are substantially faster.
11112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
11113
11114
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
11115
tree from some other url. For example:
11116
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
11117
(Daniel Silverstone)
11118
11119
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
11120
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
11121
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
11122

11127
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
11128
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
11129
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
11130
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
11131
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes

11142
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
11143
(John Arbash Meinel)
11144
11145
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
11146
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
11147
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
11148
(John Arbash Meinel)
11149
11150
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
11151
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
11152
11153
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
11154
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
11155
11156
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
11157

11164
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11165
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11166
11167
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11168
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11169
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11170
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
11171
11172
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
11173
11174
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11175
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11176
11177
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11178
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11179
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
11181
11182
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
11183
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
11184
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11185
11186
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11187
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11188
them as full references rather than integers.
11189
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11190
11191
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11192
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11193
11194
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
11195
11196
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
11200
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
11201
11202
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11203
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
11204
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
11205
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11206
11207
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11208
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
11209
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
11210
11211
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11212
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11213
11214
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11215
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11216
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11217
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11247
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11248
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11249
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11250

11252
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11253
11254
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11255
11256
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11257
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11258
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11259
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11260
11261
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11262
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11263
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11264

11279
11280
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11281
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
11282
(John Arbash Meinel)
11283
11284
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
11285
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
11286
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
11287

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11295
11296
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11297
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
11298
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11299

``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11301
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11302

* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11330

the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11393
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch

11435
11436
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
11437
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
11438
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
11439
11440
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
11441
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
11442
11443
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
11444
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
11445
11446
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
11447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
11448
11449
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
11450
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
11451
11452
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
11453
11454
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
11455
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
11456
11457
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
11458
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
11459
11460
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
11461
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
11462
11463
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
11464
(John Arbash Meinel)
11465
11466
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
11467
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
11468
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
11469
11470
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
11471
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11472
11473
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
11474
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
11475
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
11476
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
11477
11478
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
11479
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
11480
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
11481
11482
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
11483
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)

Internals
11491
*********
11492
11493
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
11494
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
11495
(John Arbash Meinel)
11496
11497
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
11498
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
11499
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
11500
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11501
11502
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
11503
(Andrew Bennetts)
11504
11505
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
11506
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
11507
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11508
11509
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
11510
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
11511
11512
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11513
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11514
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11515
11516
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11517
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11518
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11519
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11520
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11521
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11522
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11523
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11524
caller to repeat their request.
11525
(John Arbash Meinel)
11526
11527
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11528
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11529
11530
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11531
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11532
11533
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11534
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11535
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11536
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11537
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11538
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11539
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11540
11541
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11542
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11543
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11544
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11545
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11546
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11547
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11548
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11549
(Robert Collins)
11550
11551
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11552
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
11553
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11554
11555
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
11556
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11557
11558
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11559
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11560
11561
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

Testing
11565
*******
11566
11567
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11568
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11569
11570
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11571
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11572
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11573
11574
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11575
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
11576
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

11584
************
11585
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11586
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11587
11588
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11589
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11590
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11591
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11592
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11593
11594
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11595
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11596
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11597
11598
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11599
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11600
11601
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11602
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

Bug Fixes
11606
*********
11607
11608
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11609
11610
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11611
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11612
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11613
11614
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11615
11616
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11617
11618
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11619
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11620
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11621
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11622
11623
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11624
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11625
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11626
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11627
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11628
11629
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11630
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11631
11632
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11633
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11634
11635
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11636
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11637
11638
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11639
in handling of revision properties.
11640
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11641
11642
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11643
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
11644
11645
Internals
11646
*********
11647
11648
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11649
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11650
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11651
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11652
(John Arbash Meinel)
11653
11654
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11655
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11656
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
11664
*********
11665
11666
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11667
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11668
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11669
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11670
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11671
a more conservative list than the old default.
11672
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11673
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11674
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11675
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11676
11677
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11678
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
11682
************
11683
11684
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11685
revno:N:branch. For example,
11686
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11687
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11688
11689
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11690
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11691
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11692
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11693
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11694
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11695
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11696
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11697
#42517, #42514)
11698
11699
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11700
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11701
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11702
(Malone #3507)
11703
11704
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11705
(Alexander Belchenko)
11706
11707
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11708
11709
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11710
(Robert Collins).
11711
11712
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11713
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11714
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11715
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11716
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11717
(John Arbash Meinel)
11718
11719
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11720
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11721
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11722
grained analysis of performance.
11723
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11724
11725
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11726
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11727
11728
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11729
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11730
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11731
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11732
file. (Robert Collins).
11733
11734
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11735
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11736
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11737
11738
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11739
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11740
Matthieu Moy)
11741
11742
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11743
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11744
11745
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11746
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11747
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11748
the same way you would apply another branch.
11749
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11750
11751
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11752
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11753
11754
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11755
(Michael Ellerman)
11756
11757
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11758
(Aaron Bentley)
11759
11760
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11761
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11762
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11763
11764
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11765
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11766
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11767
11768
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11769
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11770
11771
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11772
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11773
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11774
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11775
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11776
11777
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11778
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11779
11780
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11781
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11782
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11783
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11784
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11785
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11786
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11787
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11788
11789
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11790
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11791
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

11799
11800
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11801
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11802
11803

(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11808
11809
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)

11811
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11812
(John Arbash Meinel)
11813
11814
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11815
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11816
11817
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11818
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11819
and y.
11820
11821
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11822
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11823
11824
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11825
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11826
11827
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11828
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11829
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11830
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11831
11832
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11833
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
11834
11835
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
11836
11837
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11838
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
11839

Notes When Upgrading
12000
********************
12001
12002
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
12003
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
12004
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
12005
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
12006
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
12007
will keep the same format.
12008
12009
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12010
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12011
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12012
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12013
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12014
12015
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12016
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12017
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12018
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12019
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12020
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12021
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12022
12023
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12024
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12025
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12026
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12027
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12028
12029
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12030
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12031
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12032
arrangement.
12033
12034
12035
Improvements
12036
************
12037
12038
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12039
convention. Paths now take the form::
12040
12041
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12042
or
12043
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12044
12045
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12046
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12047
12048
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12049
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12050
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12051
12052
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12053
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12054
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12055
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12056
12057
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12058
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12059
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12060
12061
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12062
12063
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12064
12065
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12066
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12067
commits::
12068
12069
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12070
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12071
| xargs bzr re-sign
12072
12073
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12074
12075
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12076
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12077
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12078
(Robert Collins)
12079
12080
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12081
12082
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12083
12084
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12085
'.moved'.
12086
12087
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12088
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12089
12090
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12091
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12092
Daniel Silverstone)
12093
12094
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12095
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12096
Martin Pool)
12097
12098
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12099
12100
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12101
12102
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12103
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12104
12105
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12106
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12107
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12108
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12109
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12110
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12111
12112
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12113
12114
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12115
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12116
(Robert Collins)
12117
12118
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12119
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12120
12121
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12122
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12123
12124
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12125
12126
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12127
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12128
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12129
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12130
specification by Martin Pool.
12131
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12132
12133
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12134
Belchenko)
12135
12136
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12137
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12138
12139
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12140
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12141
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12142
12143
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12144
12145
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12146
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.

12151
12152
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12153
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12154
12155
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12156
12157
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12158
12159
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12160
(Olaf Conradi)
12161
12162
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12163
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12164
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12165
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12166

Internals
12168
*********
12169
12170
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12171
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12172
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12173
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12174
12175
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12176
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12177
tried. (Martin Pool)
12178
12179
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12180
(Martin Pool)
12181
12182
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12183
12184
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12185
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12186
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12187
12188
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12189
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12190
12191
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12192
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12193
paths. (Robert Collins)
12194
12195
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12196
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12197
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12198
12199
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12200
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12201
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12202
12203
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12204
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12205
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12206
12207
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12208
(Olaf Conradi)
12209
12210
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12211
(Olaf Conradi)
12212
12213
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12214
12215
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12216
12217
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12218
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12219
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12220
(Robert Collins)
12221
12222
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12223
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12224
12225
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12226
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12227
check. (Robert Collins)
12228
12229
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12230
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12231
12232

12234
12235
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12236
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12237
12238
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12239
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12240
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12241
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12242
12243
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12244
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12245
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12246
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12247
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12248
12249
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12250
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12251
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12252
12253
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12254
12255
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12256

This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12289
(James Henstridge)
12290
12291
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12292
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12293
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12294
12295
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12296
ignore list.
12297
12298
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12299
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

************
12303
12304
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12305
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12306
12307
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12308
12309
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12310
12311
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12312
tree. (Robert Collins)
12313
12314
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12315
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12316
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12317
(Robert Collins)
12318
12319
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12320
that they be kept.
12321
12322
* Tweaks to short log printing
12323
12324
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12325
(Aaron Bentley)
12326
12327
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12328
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12329
12330
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12331
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12332
12333
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12334
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12335
12336
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12337
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12338
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12339
12340
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12341
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12342
12343
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12344
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12345
requests.
12346
12347
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12348
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12349
12350
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12351
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12352
12353
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12354
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12355
12356
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12357
(Denys Duchier)
12358
12359
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12360
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12361
12362
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12363
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12364
12365
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12366
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12402
(Harald Meland)
12403

12406
12407
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12408
12409
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12410
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)

12429
12430
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12431
12432
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12433
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12434
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12435
12436
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12437

12440
12441
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12442
12443
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12444
If adding a new test script please add that to
12445
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12446
12447
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12448
imported. (Martin Pool)
12449
12450
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12451
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12452
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12453
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12454
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12455
(Robert Collins)
12456
12457
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12458
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12459
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12460
12461
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12462
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12463
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12464
12465
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12466
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12467
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12468
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12469
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12470
(Robert Collins).
12471
12472
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12473
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.

12478
12479
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12480
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12481
12482
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12483
function. (Robert Collins)
12484
12485
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12486
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12487
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12488
12489
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12490
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12491
(Robert Collins)
12492
12493
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12494
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12495
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12496
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12497
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12498
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12499
version. (Robert Collins)
12500
12501
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12502
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12503
12504
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12505
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12506
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12507
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12508
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12509
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12510
12511
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12512
(Robert Collins)
12513
12514

12519
rename_one()
12520

12523
12524
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12525
12526
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12527
12528
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12529
Pool)
12530
12531
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12532
query method. (Robert Collins)
12533
12534
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12535
(Denys Duchier)
12536
12537
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12538
(Michael Ellerman)
12539
12540
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12541
(Michael Ellerman)
12542
12543
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12544
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12545
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12546
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12547
12548
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12549
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12550
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12551
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12552
12553
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12554
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

12564
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12565
(John A Meinel)
12566
12567
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12568
conflicts.
12569
(Aaron Bentley)
12570
12571
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12572
a separator, not ':'.
12573
(Aaron Bentley)
12574
12575
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12576
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12577
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12578
12579
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12580
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12581
(Robert Collins)
12582
12583
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12584
has been added that suppresses all output.
12585
12586
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12587
Adams.
12588
12589
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12590
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12591
12592
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12593
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12594
12595
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12596
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12597
12598
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12599
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12600
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12601
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12602
12603
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12604
12605
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12606
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12607
12608
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12609
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12610
12611
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12612
output directory, if one was supplied.
12613
12614
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12615
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12616
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12617
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12618
12619
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12620
12621
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12622
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12623
12624
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12625
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12626
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12627
12628
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12629
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)

test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12643
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12644
12645
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12646
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12647
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12648
12649
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12650
is given. (Martin Pool)
12651
12652
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12653
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12654
file. (Robert Collins)
12655

*********
12661
12662
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12663
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12664
representation. (Martin Pool).
12665
12666
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12667
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12668
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12669
12670
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12671
(Robert Collins)
12672
12673
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12674
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12675
Magnus Therning.
12676
12677
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12678
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12679
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12680
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12681
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12682
12683
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12684
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12685
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12686
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12687
python path. (Robert Collins)
12688
12689
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12690
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12691
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12692
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12693
12694
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12695
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12696
12697
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12698
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12699
(Robert Collins)
12700
12701
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12702
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12703
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12704
12705
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12706
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12707
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12708
12709
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12710
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12711
12712
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12713
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12714
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12715
(Robert Collins)
12716
12717
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12718
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12719
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12720
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12721
(Robert Collins)
12722
12723
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12724
(Robert Collins)
12725
12726
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12727
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12728
(Robert Collins)
12729
12730
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12731
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12732
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12733
12734
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12735
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12736
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12737
12738
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12739
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12740
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12741
12742
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12743
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12744
12745
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12746
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12747
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12748
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12749
caller. (Robert Collins)

Notes
12800
*****
12801
12802
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12803
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
12804
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12805
high-latency connections.

12810
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
12811
Rob Weir.
12812
12813
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
12814
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12815
12816
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12817
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12818
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12819
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12820
12821
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
12822
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
12823
12824
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
12825
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
12826
12827
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
12828
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12829
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12830
12831
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12832
for files with only a change to their executable status.
12833
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
12834
Robert Collins
12835
12836
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
12837
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
12838
12839
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
12840
different partial views of history.
12841
12842

12843
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
12844

Improvements
12846
************
12847
12848
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12849
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12850
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12851
12852
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12853
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12854
'bzr upgrade'.
12855
12856
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12857
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12858
12859
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12860

12861
12862
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12863
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12864
12865
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12866
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12867
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12868
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12869
12870
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12871
12872
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12873
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12874
Gustavo Niemeyer.
12875
12876
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12877
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12878
12879

12890
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12891
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12892
12893
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12894
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12895
handling of such circumstances.
12896
12897
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12898
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12899
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12900
12901
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12902
12903
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12904
we call them revisions not patches.
12905
12906
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12907
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12908
12909
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12910
giving the revision *of that file*.
12911
12912
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12913
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12914
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.

you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12982
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by

12991
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program

13123
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13124
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13125
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13126
13127
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13128
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13129
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13130
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13131
standard plugins directory.
13132
13133
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13134
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13135
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13136
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13137

* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13181
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13182
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``

now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
13267
the tests.
13268
13269
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13270
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13271
13272
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13273
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
13274
13275
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
13276
under a different version.
13277
13278
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.

************
13320
13321
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
13322
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
13323
13324
* More default ignore patterns.
13325
13326
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
13327
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
13328
13329
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
13330
13331
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
13332

Changes

*******
13339
13340
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
13341
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
13342
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
13343
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
13344
there are DNS problems.
13345
13346
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.

parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
785
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
786
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
