*****************************
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
* Getting all entries from ``CHKInventory.iter_entries_by_dir()`` has been
30
sped up dramatically for large trees. Iterating by dir is not the best
31
way to load data from a CHK inventory, so it preloads all the items in
32
the correct order. (With the gcc-tree, this changes it (re)reading 8GB
33
of CHK data, down to just 150MB.) This has noticeable affects for things
34
like building checkouts, etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #737234)
35
36
Bug Fixes
37
*********
38
39
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
40
or undesirable results.
41
42
* ``bzr push`` into a repository (that doesn't have a branch), will no
43
longer copy all revisions in the repository. Only the ones in the
44
ancestry of the source branch, like it does in all other cases.
45
(John Arbash Meinel, #465517)
46
47
* Fix "Unable to obtain lock" error when pushing to a bound branch if tags
48
had changed. Bazaar was attempting to open and lock the master branch
49
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)

*********
64
65
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
66
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
67
68
Testing
69
*******
70
71
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
72
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
73
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
74
75
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
76
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
77
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
78
has been added in the interim
79
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed
80
in python > 2.7.1). (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)

* Correctly resolve text conflicts for files in subdirs.
98
(Vincent Ladeuil, #715058)
99
100
* Fix "AssertionError: repository.user_url ... does not match URL from
101
server response" when reusing a smart transport.
102
(Andrew Bennetts, #726584)
103
104
* Restore proper logging of bytes transferred. We accidentally reset the
105
counter when commands finished before we logged the total transferred.

bzr 2.3.0

111
:2.3.0: 2011-02-03
112
113
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we
114
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it
115
until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1
116
and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned
117
to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.)
118
119
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number
120
of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have
121
been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related
122
branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better
123
conflict resolution.
124
125
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
126
known fixed bugs are included here.
127
128
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

133
:2.3.b5: 2011-01-13
134
135
This is the fifth and **last** beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
136
release in February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause
137
some incompatibilities with plugins.
138
139
2.3b5 includes bug fixes for committing to stacked branches, smoother upgrades
140
of multiple branches, compatibility with python-2.7, full test suite passing
141
on Ubuntu Natty and windows, less round-trips for several smart server
142
operations, better support text conflicts resolve actions and some more.
143
144
All known fixed bugs in other series (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) are also included here.

*****************************
148

(none)
150
151
Improvements
152
************
153
154
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
155
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
156
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
157
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
158
159
* ``ControlDir.sprout`` no longer opens the target repository more than
160
once. This avoids some unnecessary IO, and removes a network roundtrip
161
when doing ``bzr branch`` to a smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts)
162
163
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
164
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
165
166
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
167
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
168
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
169
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
170
171
* ``bzr tags``'s "sort" argument now allows registering custom sort
172
methods using the ``bzrlib.tag.tag_sort_methods`` registry.
173
(Jelmer Vernooij, #701244)
174
175
* ``bt.test_http`` was breaking ``os.environ`` by erasing the values saved by
176
``TestCase`` leading to ``bt.test_import_tariff`` failures.
177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
178
179
* ``upgrade`` now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is
180
specified. It also supports new options: ``--dry-run`` for showing what
181
will happen and ``--clean`` to remove the backup directory on successful
182
completion. (Ian Clatworthy, Matthew Fuller, #89830, #374734, #422450)
183
184
Bug Fixes
185
*********
186
187
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
188
or undesirable results.
189
190
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
191
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
192
193
* ``bzr break-lock`` on a corrupted lock file works correctly, rather than
194
raising a PermissionDenied error. We were accidentally holding open the
195
file we were trying to delete. (John Arbash Meinel, #659978)
196
197
* ``bzr update`` in a checkout of a readonly branch works again, without
198
trying to set the tags in the master branch. This had been broken by the
199
bug fix for bug #603395. (John Arbash Meinel, #701212)
200
201
* Per-transport tests now prefer to use ``Transport.get_bytes()`` rather
202
than ``Transport.get().read()``. The SFTP code uses an async message to
203
close the file handle if you let the handle die from refcounting, while
204
it uses a synchronous message if you close it directly. This should help
205
prevent random test suite failures from race conditions.
206
(John Arbash Meinel, #681047)
207
208
* Stop using ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile``. It is incompatible with
209
python-2.7 and was only used for Knit format repositories, which haven't
210
been recommended since 2007. The file itself will be removed in the next
211
release. (John Arbash Meinel)
212
213
* The BZR_COLUMNS environment variable can be set to 0 to indicate no
214
limitation on the width of the terminal. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #675652)
215
216
* Treat WSAECONNABORTED the same as WSAECONNRESET for the purposes of
217
considering a smart data stream as being interrupted. This fixes a
218
failure in the windows test suite, that was trying to ensure we cleanly
219
handled a server disconnect. (John Arbash Meinel, #581311, #686587)
220
221
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
222
the directory properly rather than crashing.
223
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
224
225
* You are now able to commit directly to a stacked branch. Any needed
226
parent inventories will be filled in as part of the commit process.
227
(John Arbash Meinel, #375013)
228
229
Documentation
230
*************
231
232
* Better document the rules to update the bzr freshmeat page when
233
doing a release. (Vincent Ladeuil, #690515)
234
235
API Changes
236
***********
237
238
* ``Branch.sprout``, ``BranchFormat.initalize`` and
239
``ControlDir.create_branch`` now take an optional ``repository`` keyword
240
argument, and ``BranchFormat.open`` now takes an optional
241
``found_repository`` keyword argument. These provide the repository
242
object for new branch object to use (for cases when the caller has
243
already opened that repository). Implementations of these APIs will
244
need to be updated to accept these arguments. (Andrew Bennetts)
245
246
* ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile`` is now deprecated and will be removed in
247
the bzr-2.4 series. Code that was using it can just use the python
248
stdlib ``gzip.GzipFile``. (John Arbash Meinel)
249
250
251
Testing
252
*******
253
254
* ``bzrlib.tests`` defines ``isolated_environ`` with the definitions of all
255
the environment variables the tests should care about. It also defines
256
``override_os_environ`` and ``restore_os_environ`` to properly implement
257
isolation from ``os.environ`` for tests. ``bzrlib.tests`` now defines a
258
``DocTestSuite`` class using this facility for all ``bzrlib``
259
doctests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #321320)
260
261
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
262
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
263
264
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
266
267
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
268
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
269
270
* ``TestCase._captureVar`` and ``TestCase._old_env`` have been deleted due to
271
bug #690563. Test writers are encouraged to use ``TestCase.overrideEnv``
272
instead. (Vincent Ladeuil)
273
274
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
275
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)

:2.3.b4: 2010-12-03
281
282
This is the fourth beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0 release in
283
February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
284
incompatibilities with plugins.
285
286
2.3b4 includes bug fixes for the ``config`` command and conflict
287
resolution. More changes were made for the test scripts handling to make it
288
easier to add reproducing recipes to bugs.
289
290
It also includes bug fixes from the 2.2.2 release as well as the bug fixes
291
in the upcoming 2.0.7, 2.1.4 and 2.2.3 releases. This means that all known
292
fixed bugs at the time of this release are included.

Improvements
301
************
302
303
* Bazaar now caches a branch's tags while that branch is read-locked.
304
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
305
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
306
307
* ``bzr config <option>`` will now display only the value itself so scripts
308
can use it to query the currently active configuration. Displaying several
309
options matching a given regular expression is now controlled via the
310
``--all`` option. (Vincent Ladeuil, bug #670251)
311
312
* ``bzr resolve`` now reports the number of conflicts resolved and the
313
number of remaining conflicts. This provides a better feedback about the
314
whole resolution process. (Vincent Ladeuil)
315
316
* Read configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bazaar on Unix if there is
317
already a directory there. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #195397)
318
319
Bug Fixes
320
*********
321
322
* Better message if there is an error while setting ownership of
323
``.bazaar`` directory. (Parth Malwankar, #657553)
324
325
* ``bzr config`` properly displays list values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #672382)
326
327
* ``bzr config`` will now respect option policies when displaying the value
328
and display the definition sections when appropriate.
329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #671050)
330
331
* Don't create commit message files in the current directory to avoid nasty
332
interactions with emacs (which tries to establish the status of the file
333
during the commit which breaks on windows). (Vincent Ladeuil, #673637)
334
335
* ``bzr resolve --take-other <file>`` will not crash anymore if ``<file>``
336
is involved in a text conflict (but the conflict is still not
337
resolved). (Vincent Ladeuil, #646961)
338
339
* Merge will now correctly locate a lca where there is a criss-cross merge
340
of a new root. (Gary van der Merwe, #588698)
341
342
* Report error if non-ASCII command option given. (Rory Yorke, #140563)
343
344
* ``tools/check-newsbug.py`` is now based on ``lp:hydrazine`` and no longer
345
crashes when encountering private bugs (they are just displayed as such).
346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #354985)
347
348
Internals
349
*********
350
351
* ``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts parent_ids == [].
352
This can be used to create a new root in the graph. (Gary van der Merwe)
353
354
* Old repository development formats
355
RepositoryFormatCHK1 and RepositoryFormatCHK2 have been removed, and so
356
have the corresponding metadir format options ``development-rich-root``,
357
``development6-rich-root``, and ``development7-rich-root``.
358
359
Testing
360
*******
361
362
* Add a null_output_matches_anything keyword argument with default False to
363
bzrlib.tests.script.ScriptRunner.run_script to specify that the command
364
output should not be checked (as opposed to expecting an empty output).
365
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #662509)
366
367
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
368
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
369
(Martin Pool, #637830)
370
371
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
372
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
373
written. (Martin [gz])
374
375
* Introduce an ``overrideEnv()`` helper for tests that needs to change the
376
environment variables while respecting the isolation rules. Get rid of
377
TestCase._restoreEnvironment which is now useless.
378
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
379
380
* Printing selftest results to a non-UTF-8 console will now escape characters
381
that can't be encoded rather than aborting the test run with an exception.

New Features
396
************
397
398
* Add --no-tree option to 'bzr push' and 'bzr init' for creating a
399
new or mirrored branch without working trees.
400
(Matthew Gordon, #506730)
401
402
* ``bzr config`` is a new command that displays the configuration options for
403
a given directory. It accepts a glob to match against multiple options at
404
once. It can also be used to set or delete a configuration option in any
405
configuration file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
406
407
* New shortcut URL schemes ``ubuntu:`` and ``debianlp:`` access source
408
branches on Launchpad. E.g. ``bzr branch ubuntu:foo`` gives you the source
409
branch for project ``foo`` in the current distroseries for Ubuntu while
410
``bzr branch debianlp:lenny/foo`` gives you the source branch (on Launchpad)
411
for project ``foo`` in Debian Lenny.
412
(Barry Warsaw, #609186)
413
414
* Provide a configuration option "default_format" that controls the
415
default format for new branches created with ``bzr init``.

*********
420
421
* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
422
423
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
424
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
425
426
* Correctly add directory contents when the name was previously added as a
427
normal file, rather than throwing ``AttributeError: children`` during
428
smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
429
430
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
431
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
432
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
433
the base directory for the other paths. (Vincent Ladeuil, #670851)
434
435
* Correctly set the Content-Type header when HTTP POSTing to comply
436
with stricter web frameworks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #665100)
437
438
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
439
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
440
441
* Fix ``KeyError: 'port'`` when getting the stored password for an HTTP URL.
442
(Martin Pool, #654684)
443
444
* Make ``bzr tag --quiet`` really quiet. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #239523)
445
446
* Missing files (files bzr add'ed and then OS deleted) are now shown in ``bzr
447
status`` output. (Rory Yorke, #134168)
448
449
* ``NotBranchError`` no longer allows errors from calling
450
``bzrdir.open_repository()`` to propagate. This is unhelpful at best,
451
and at worst can trigger infinite loops in callers. (Andrew Bennetts)
452
453
* The ``branch.tags.merge_to(target_branch)`` API used by plugins such as
454
``bzr-builddeb`` now propagates changes to the master branch of the
455
target branch (if there is one). This makes it consistent with the
456
other tag APIs. (Andrew Bennetts, #603395)
457
458
* Windows installers no longer requires the Microsoft vcredist to be
459
installed. (Martin [gz], Gary van der Merwe, #632465)

544
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
545

676
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
677
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
678
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
679
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
680
681
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
682
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
683
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
684
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
685
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
686
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
687
through the 2.3 series.
688
689
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of

* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
742
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
743
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
744
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB

down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.

749
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
750
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
751
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
752
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
753
754
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
755
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
756
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
757

759
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
760
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)

via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
890
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
891
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
892
893
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer

896
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)

************
195
196
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
197
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
198
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
199
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
200
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
201
202
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
203
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
204
(Andrew Bennetts)
205
206
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
207
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
208
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
209
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
210
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
211
(John Arbash Meinel)
212
213
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
214
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
215
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
216
217
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
218
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
219
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
220
221
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
222
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
223
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
224
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
225
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
226
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
227
228
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
229
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
230
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
231
914
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
915
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
916
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
917
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)

:Codename: La Hulpe
370
:2.2: 2010-08-06
371
372
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
373
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
374
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
375
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
376
supported for another 6 months.)
377
378
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
379
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
380
381
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
382
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
383
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
384
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
385
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
386
readonly operations).
387
388
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

466
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
467
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
468
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
469
stable and compatible plugin versions.
470
471
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
472
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
473
appropriately.
474
475
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
476
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
477
bugfixes over 2.2b3.
478

Compatibility Breaks
480
********************
481
482
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
483
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
484
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
485
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
486
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
487
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
488
489
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
490
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
491
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
492
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
493
end.
494
495
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
496
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
497
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

521
522
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
523
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
524
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)

527
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.

543
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
544
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
545
546
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
547
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
548
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
549
550
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
551
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
552
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
553
(Robert Collins, #177500)

574
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``

(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
576
577
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
578
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
579
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
580
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)

583
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
584
585
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
586
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
587
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.

(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
596
597
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
598
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
599
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
600
(Robert Collins, #201613)
601
602
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
603
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
604
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
605
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
606
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
607
608
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
609
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
610
(Martin Pool, #340394)
611
612
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
613
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
614
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
615
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).

*************
620
621
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
622
623
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
624
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
625

API Changes
631
***********
632
633
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
634
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
635
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
636
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
637
638
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
639
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
640
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
641
(Robert Collins)
642
643
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
644
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
645
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
646
647
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
648
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
649
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
650
(Parth Malwankar)
651
652
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
653
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
654
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
655
656
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
657
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
658
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
659
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
660
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
661
662
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
663
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
664
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
665
666
Internals
667
*********
668
669
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
670
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
671
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
672
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
673
(Robert Collins)
674
675
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
676
677
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
678
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
679
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
680
681
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
682
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
683
(Robert Collins)
684
685
Testing
686
*******
687
688
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
689
to test. (Martin Pool)
690
691
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

:2.2b3: 2010-05-28
698
699
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
700
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
701
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
702
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
703
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
704
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
705
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
706
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
707
support.
708
709
Compatibility Breaks
710
********************
711
712
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
713
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
714
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
715
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
716
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
717
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
718
(Robert Collins)
719
720
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
721
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
722
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
723
724
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
725
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
726
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
727
728
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
729
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
730
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
731
732
New Features
733
************
734
735
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
736
``--show-diff``.
737
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
738
739
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
740
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
741
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
742
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
743
744
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
745
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
746
pack operation.
747
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
748
749
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
750
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
751
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
752
753
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
754
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
755
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
756
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
757
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
758
759
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
760
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
761
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
762
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
763
764
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
765
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
766
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
767
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.
768

770
Bug Fixes
771
*********
772
773
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
774
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
775
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
776
777
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
778
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
779
better with sudo.
780
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
781
782
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
783
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
784
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
785
786
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
787
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
788
789
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
790
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
791
difference).
792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
793
794
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
795
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
796
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
797
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
798
(Robert Collins, #583667)
799
800
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
801
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
802
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
803
804
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
806
807
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
809
810
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
811
(Aaron Bentley)
812
813
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
814
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
815
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
816
Python.
817
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
818
819
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
821
822
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
823
versions before 1.6.
824
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
825
826
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
827
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
828
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
829
830
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
831
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
832
833
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
834
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
835
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
836
837
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
838
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
839
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
840
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
841
842
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
843
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
844
to support this efficiently.
845
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
846
847
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
848
more comprehensible.
849
(Martin Pool, #491763)
850
851
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
852
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
853
854
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
855
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
856
857
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
858
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
859
messages.
860
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
861
862
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
863
(Robert Collins, #558343)
864
865
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
866
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
867
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
868
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
869
870
Improvements
871
************
872
873
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
874
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
875
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
876
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
877
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
878
(case-sensitive) as false.
879
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
880
881
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
882
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
883
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
884
885
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
886
be interpreted as a boolean.
887
(Vincent Ladeuil)
888
889
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
890
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
891
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
892
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
893
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
894
895
API Changes
896
***********
897
898
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
899
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
900
(Andrew Bennetts)
901
902
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
903
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
904
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
905
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
906
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
907
implementations.
908
(Martin Pool)
909
910
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
911
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
912
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
913
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
914
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
915
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
918
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
919
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
920
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
921
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
922
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
923

924
925
Internals
926
*********
927
928
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
929
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
930
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
931
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
932
933
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
934
(Robert Collins)
935
936
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
937
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
938
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
939
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
940
at worst.
941
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
942
943
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
944
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
945
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
946
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
947
948
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
949
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
950
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)
951
952
Testing
953
*******
954
955
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
956
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
957
(Robert Collins)
958
959
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
960
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
961
962
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
963
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
965
966
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
967
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.

987
Bug Fixes
988
*********
989
990
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
991
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
992
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
993
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
995
996
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
997
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
998
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
999
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
1000
1001
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1002
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1003
1004
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
1005
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
1006
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
1007
1008
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
1009
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
1010
1011
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
1012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
1013
1014
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
1015
(Martin Pool)
1016
1017
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
1018
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
1019
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
1020
1021
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
1022
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
1023
which is not installed any more" error.
1024
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
1025
1026
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1027
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1028
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1029
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1030
(Andrew Bennetts)
1031
1032
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1033
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1034
-rX..Y.
1035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)

1041
************
1042
1043
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1044
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1045
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1046
1047
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1048
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1049
(Andrew Bennetts)
1050

1053
1054
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1055
(Andrew Bennetts)
1056
1057
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1058
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1059
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1060
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1061
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)

already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1065
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1066
1067
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
1068
less.)

1085
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1086

1087
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.

bzr 2.2b1
1091
#########
1092
1093
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
1094
1095
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1096
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1097
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1098
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1099
1100
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1101
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1102
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1103
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1104
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1105
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1106
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1107
through the 2.2 series.
1108
1109
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1110
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1111
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1112
1113
Compatibility Breaks
1114
********************
1115
1116
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1117
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1118
1119
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1120
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1121
(Martin Pool)
1122
1123
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1124
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1125
1126
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1127
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1128
1129
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1130
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1131
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1132
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1133
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1134
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1135
1136
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1137
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1138
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1139
1140
New Features
1141
************
1142
1143
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1144
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1145
1146
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1147
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1148
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1149
1150
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1151
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1152
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1153
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1154
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1155
1156
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1157
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
1158
#392428)
1159
1160
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1161
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1163
1164
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1165
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1166
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1167
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1168
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1170
1171
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1172
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1173
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1174
1175
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1176
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1177
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1178
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1179
1180
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1181

Bug Fixes
1184
*********
1185
1186
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1187
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1188
1189
* Allow additional arguments to
1190
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1191
1192
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1193
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1194
1195
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1196
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1197
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1198
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1199
1200
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1202
1203
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1204
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1205
1206
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1207
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1208
1209
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1211
1212
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1213
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1214
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1215
1216
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1217
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1218
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1219
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1220
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1221
1222
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1223
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1225
1226
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1227
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1228
1229
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1230
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1232
1233
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1234
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1235
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1236
1237
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1238
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1239
``add``.
1240
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1241
1242
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1243
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1244
1245
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1246
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1247
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1248
1249
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1250
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1252
1253
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1255
1256
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1257
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1259
1260
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1261
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1262
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1263
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1264
``sock.sendall``).
1265
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1266
1267
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1268
deletion is involved.
1269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1270
1271
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1272
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1273
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1274
1275
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1276
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1277
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1278
1279
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1280
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1281
1282
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1283
the debugger won't kill the session.
1284
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1285
1286
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1287
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1288
1289
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1290
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1291
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1292
1293
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.

1297
***********
1298
1299
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1300
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1301
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1302
1303
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1304
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1305
1306
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1307
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1308
1309
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1310
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1311
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1312
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1313
1314
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1315
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1316
to be done separately.
1317
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1318
1319
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1320
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1321
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1322
1323
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1324
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1325
1326
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1327
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)

1338
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1339
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1342
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1343
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1344
1345
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1346
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1347
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1348
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1349
(Robert Collins)
1350
1351
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1352
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1353
1354
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1355
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1356
1357
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1358
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.

1363
1364
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1365
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1366
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1367
1368
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1369
(Robert Collins)
1370
1371
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1372
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1373
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1374
1375
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1376
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1377
dependency regressions.
1378
(Martin Pool)
1379
1380
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1381
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1382
1383
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1384
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1385
1386
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1387
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1388
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1389
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1390
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1391
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

1410
marked versioned too.
1411
(Martin Pool, #192859)

support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1485
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)

1488
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1489
1490
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1491
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1492
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1493
Python.
1494
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)

* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1501
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1502
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1503

* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current

* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1521
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1522
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1523
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1524
at worst.

Bug Fixes
1537
*********
1538
1539
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1540
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1541
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1542
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1543
1544
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1545
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1546
1547
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1548
1549
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1551
1552
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1553
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1554
1555
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1556
1557
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1558
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1559
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1560
1561
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1562
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1563
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1564
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1565
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1566
1567
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1568
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1569
1570
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1571
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.

1589
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.

1598
1599
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1600
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1601
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1602
1603
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1604
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1605
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1606
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1607
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1608
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

1622
when it encounters conflicts.
1623
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1624
1625
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1626
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1627
1628
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1629
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1630
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1631
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1632
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1633
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1634
1635
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1636
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1637
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

1656
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to

``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1658
1659
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1660
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1661
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1662
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1663
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1664
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1665
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1666
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1667
1668
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
1669

*********
1674
1675
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1676
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1677
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1678
in ``do_merge``.

1699
***********
1700
1701
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1702
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1703
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1704
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1705
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1706
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1715
1716
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1717
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1718
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1719
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1720
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1721
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1722
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1723
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1724
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

1727
New Features
1728
************
1729
1730
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1731
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1732
1733
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1734
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1735
particular files.
1736
1737
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1738
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1739
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1740
(Andrew Bennetts)
1741
1742
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1743
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1744
1745
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1746
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1747
1748
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1749
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1750
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1751
1752
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1753
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1754
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1755
Martin Pool, #45719)
1756
1757
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1758
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1759
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1760
1761
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1762
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1763
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1764
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1765
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1766
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1767
1768
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1769
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1770
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1771
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1772
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)

Bug Fixes
1775
*********
1776
1777
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1778
user-specified commit message editor.
1779
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1780
1781
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1782
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1783
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1784
1785
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1786
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1787
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1788
1789
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1790
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1791
1792
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1793
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1794
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1795
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1796
another process already removed the file.
1797
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1798
1799
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1800
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1801
1802
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1803
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1804
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1805
1806
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1807
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1808
1809
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1810
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1811
1812
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1814
1815
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1816
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1817
1818
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1819
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1820
depended on this behaviour.
1821
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1822
1823
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1824
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1825
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1826
should appear up-to-date.)

1829
Improvements
1830
************
1831
1832
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1833
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1834
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1835
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1836
1837
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1838
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1839
1840
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1841
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1842
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1843
1844
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1845
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1846
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1847
1848
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1849
(__monty__, #257170)
1850
1851
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1852
Bazaar is doing network IO.
1853
(Martin Pool)
1854
1855
Documentation
1856
*************
1857
1858
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1859
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1860
1861
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1862
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1863
1864
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1865
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1866
1867
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1868
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1869
1870
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1871
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1872
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1873
1874
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1875
(Ian Clatworthy)
1876
1877
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1878
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.

API Changes
1882
***********
1883
1884
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1885
(Andrew Bennetts)
1886
1887
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1888
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1889
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1890
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1891
1892
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1893
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1894
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1895
1896
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1897
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1898
1899
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1900
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1901
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1902
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1903
1904
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1905
parameter.
1906
1907
Internals
1908
*********
1909
1910
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1911
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1912
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1913
1914
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1915
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1916
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1917
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1918
1919
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1920
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1921
1922
Testing
1923
*******
1924
1925
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1926
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1927
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1928
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1929
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1930
1931
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1932
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1933
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1934
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1935
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1936
suite. (Robert Collins)
1937
1938
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1939
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1940
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1941
1942
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1943
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

1956
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1957
1958
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1959
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1960
marked versioned too.
1961
(Martin Pool, #192859)

1976
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1977
1978
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
1979
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr

break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)

* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1998
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1999
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
2000
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.

2005
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
2006
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
2007
2008
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
2009
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many

Bug Fixes
2031
*********
2032
2033
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
2034
(Martin Pool, #331095)
2035
2036
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2037
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2038
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2039
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2040
another process already removed the file.
2041
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2042
2043
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
2044
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2045
a lock.
2046
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2047
2048
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2049
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2050
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2051
repositories.
2052
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
2053
2054
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
2055
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
2056
2057
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
2058
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
2059
``UnboundLocalError``.
2060
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2061
2062
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
2063
version number along with rest of the help text.
2064
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
2065
2066
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
2067

:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
2085
2086
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2087
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2088
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2089
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2090
2091
2092
Bug Fixes
2093
*********
2094
2095
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2096
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2097
2098
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2099
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2100
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2101
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2102
2103
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2104
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2105
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2106
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2107
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2108
2109
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2110
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2111
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2112
2113
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2114
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2115
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2116
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2117
2118
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2119
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2120
2121
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2122
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2123
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2124
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2125
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2126
2127
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2128
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2129
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2130
users, rather than something nicer.
2131
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2132
2133
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2134
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2135
2136
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2137
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2138
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2139
2140
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2141
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2142
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2143
2144
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2145
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2146
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2147
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2148
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2149
2150
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2151
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2152
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2153
2154
Testing
2155
*******
2156
2157
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2158
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2159
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2160
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2170
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2171
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2172
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2173
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime

documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
2178
********************
2179
2180
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2181
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2182
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2183
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2184
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2185

New Features
2187
************
2188
2189
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2190
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2191
2192
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2193
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2194
2195
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2196
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2197
2198
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2199
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2200
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2201
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2202
lengths.
2203
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2204
2205
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2206
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2207
is installed.

2212
*********
2213
2214
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2215
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2216
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2217
2218
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2219
and issues a warning.
2220
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2221
2222
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2223
2224
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2225
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2226
2227
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2228
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2229
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2230
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2231
2232
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2233
2234
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
2235

* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2243
2244
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2245
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2246
2247
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2248
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2249
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2250
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2251
windows too.

2253
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)

2255
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2256
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2257
2258
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2259
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2260
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2261
2262
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2263
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2264
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2265
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2266
2267
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2268
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2269
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2270
2271
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2272
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2273
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2274
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)

* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2277
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2287
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2288
2289
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2290
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2291
(John Arbash Meinel)
2292

* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
2294
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2295
Hudson)
2296
2297
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2298
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2299
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2300
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2301
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

2322
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2323
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2324
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2325
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2326
2327
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2328
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2329
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2330
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2331
(John Arbash Meinel)
2332
2333
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2334
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2335
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2336
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2337
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2338
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2383
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2384

Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2388
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,

* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2412
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2413
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2414
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2415
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.

(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2417
2418
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2419
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2420
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser

auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2422
2423
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2424
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2425
2426
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2427
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2428
2429
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2430
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2431
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2432
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2433
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2434
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2435
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2436
2437
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.

*************
2445
2446
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
2447
2448
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2449
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2450
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2451
overridden by GUIs.

2459
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)

2464
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2465
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2468
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2469
2470
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2471
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2472
2473
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2474
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2475
2476
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2477
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2478
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2479
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2480
2481
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2482
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2483
2484
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2485
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2486
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2487
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2490
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2491
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2492
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

:Codename: a load off my mind
2500
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2501
2502
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2503
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2504
2505
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2506
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2507
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2508
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2509
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2510
many operations.
2511
2512
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2513
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2514
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2515
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2516
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2517
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
2518

Bug Fixes
2520
*********
2521
2522
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2523
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2524
2525
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2526
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2527
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2528
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2529
2530
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2531
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2532
2533
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2534
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2535
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2536
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2537
2538
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2539
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2540
2541
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2542
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)

Improvements
2545
************
2546
2547
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2548
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2549
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2550
(John Arbash Meinel)
2551
2552
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2553
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)

API Changes
2563
***********
2564
2565
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2566
2567
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2568
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2569
(Martin Pool)
2570
2571
Internals
2572
*********
2573
2574
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2575
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2576
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2577
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2578
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2579
(John Arbash Meinel)
2580
2581
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2582
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2583
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2584
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2585
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2586
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2587
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2588
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2589
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2590
2591
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2592
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2593
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2594
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2595
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2596
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2597
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2598
2599
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2600
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2601
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2602
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: While the cat is away
2656
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2657
2658
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2659
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2660
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2661
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2662
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2663
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2664
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2665
2666
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2667
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2668
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2669
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
2673
************
2674
2675
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2676
(Brian de Alwis)
2677
2678
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2679
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2680
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2681
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2682
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2683
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2684
2685
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2686
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2687
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2688
2689
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2690
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2691
method.
2692
2693
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2694
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2695
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2696
2697
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2698
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2699
(Arkanes)
2700
2701
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2702
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
2706
*********
2707
2708
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2709
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2710
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2711
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2712
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2713
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2714
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2715
2716
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2717
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2718
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2719
2720
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2721
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2722
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2724
2725
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2726
merges are present in the working tree.
2727
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2728
2729
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2730
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2731
2732
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2733
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2734
2735
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2736
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2737
2738
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2739
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2740
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2741
2742
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2743
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2744
2745
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2746
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2747
2748
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2750
2751
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using

2759
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2760
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2761
2762
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2763
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2764
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2765
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2766
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2767
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2772
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new

``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

2789
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2790
2791
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2792
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2793
2794
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2795
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2796
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2797
2798
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2799
(Martin Pool)
2800
2801
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2802
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2803
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2804
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2805
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2806
been deprecated.

2816
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2817
(Andrew Bennetts)
2818
2819
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2820
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2821
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2822
(John Arbash Meinel)
2823
2824
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2825
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.

2827
2828
Testing
2829
*******
2830
2831
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2832
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2833
2834
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2835
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2836
2837
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2838
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2839
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2840
2841
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2842
a long time.
2843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2844
2845
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2846
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2847
2848
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2849
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2850
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2851
2852
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2853
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2854
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2855
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2856
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2857
2858
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2859
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2860
2861
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not

2879
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2880
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2881
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2882
2883
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2884
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2885
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2886
2887
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2888
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2889
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2890
2891
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2892
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2893
2894
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2895
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2896
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2897
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2898
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2899
2900
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2901
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2902
2903
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2904
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2905
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2906
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2907
2908
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2909
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2910
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2911
2912
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2913
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2914
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2915
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2916
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2917
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2918
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2919
2920
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2921
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2922
2923
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2924
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2925
to download the entire cix file many times.
2926
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2927
2928
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2929
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)

2945
2946
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2947
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2948
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2949
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2950
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2951
existing projects.)
2952
2953
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2954
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2955
2956
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2957
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2958
months or until the following stable release.

Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2961
******************************
2962
2963
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2964
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2965
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2966
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
2982
*********
2983
2984
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2985
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2986
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2987
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2988
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2989
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2990
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2991
2992
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2993
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2994
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2995
2996
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2997
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2998
2999
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
3000
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
3001
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3002
3003
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3004
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3005
3006
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
3007
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
3008
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
3009
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
3010
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
3011
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
3012
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
3013
3014
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
3015
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
3016
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
3017
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
3018
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
3019
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
3020
3021
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
3022
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
3023
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3024
3025
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
3026
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
3027
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3028
3029
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
3030
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
3031
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
3032
3033
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3034
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3035
3036
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
3037
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
3038
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3050
3051
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
3052
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
3053
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
3054
3055

3056
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more

********************
3071
3072
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3073
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3074
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3075
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3076
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)

3094
3095
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3096
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3097
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3098
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3099
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)

3114
3115
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3116

3117
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

3126
3127
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3128
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3129
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3130
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of

codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3142
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3143
3144
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3145
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3146
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3147
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3148
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits

in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

3249
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3250
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)

* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK

3259
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3260

3270
3271
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the

3334
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3335
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3336
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3337
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3338
3339
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3340
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3341
or until the following stable release.
3342
3343
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.

New Features
3346
************
3347
3348
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3349
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3350
3351
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3352
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3353

3355
Bug Fixes
3356
*********
3357
3358
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3359
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3360
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3361
3362
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3363
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3364
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3365
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3366
3367
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3368
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3369
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3370
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3371
3372
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3373
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3374
3375
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3376
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3377
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3378
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3379
3380
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3381
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3382
3383
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3384
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3385
3386
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3387
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3388
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3389
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3390
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3391
3392
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3393
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3394
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3395
3396
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3397
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3398
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3399
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3400
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3401
3402
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3403
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3404
3405
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3406
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3407
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3408
3409
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3410
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3411
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3412
3413
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3414
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3415
3416
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3417
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3418
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3419
3420
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3421
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3422
3423
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3424
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3425
3426
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3427
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3428
3429
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3430
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3431
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3432
3433
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3434
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3435
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3436
3437
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3438
3439
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3440
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3441
3442
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3443
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3444
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3445
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3446
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3447
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3448
3449
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3450
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3451
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3452
3453
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3454
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3455
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3456
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3457
3458
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3459
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3460
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3461
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3462
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3463
3464
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3465
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3466
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3467
3468
Improvements
3469
************
3470
3471
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3472
(Marius Kruger)
3473
3474
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3475
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3476
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3477
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3478
3479
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3480
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

3486
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3487
3488
API Changes
3489
***********
3490
3491
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3492
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3493
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3494
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3495
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3496
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3497
3498
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3499
(Aaron Bentley)
3500
3501
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3502
(Martin Pool)
3503
3504
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3505
UIFactory.
3506
(Martin Pool)
3507
3508
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3509
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3510
3511
Internals
3512
*********
3513
3514
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3515
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3516
paths. (Robert Collins)
3517
3518
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3519
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3520
3521
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3522
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3523
disk. (Robert Collins)
3524
3525
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3526
it. (Robert Collins)
3527
3528
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3529
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3530

Testing
3534
*******
3535
3536
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3537
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3538
3539
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3540
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3541
3542
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3543
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3544
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3545
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3546
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3547
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3569
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3570
stable".
3571
3572
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3573
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3574
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3575
annoying progress bar artifacts.

3577
3578
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3579
*********************************
3580
3581
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3582
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3583
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3584
3585
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3586
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3587
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3588
3589
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3590
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3591
3592
3593
Compatibility Breaks
3594
********************
3595
3596
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3597
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3598
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.

New Features
3603
************
3604
3605
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3606
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3607
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3608
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3609
3610
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3611
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3612
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3613
3614
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3615
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3616
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3617
behavior.
3618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3619
3620
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3621
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3622
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3623
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
3627
*********
3628
3629
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3630
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3631
3632
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3633
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3634
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3635
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3636
3637
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3638
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3639
3640
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3641
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3642
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3643
3644
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3645
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3646
3647
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3648
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3649
3650
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3651
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3652
3653
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3654
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3655
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3656
3657
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3658
(Ian Clatworthy)
3659
3660
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3661
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
3662
3663
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3664
of a remote repository.
3665
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
3666
3667
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
3668
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
3669
(Andrew Bennetts)
3670
3671
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3672
transforms.
3673
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
3674
3675
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3676
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3677
3678
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3679
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3680
3681
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3682
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3683
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3684
3685
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3686
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3687
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3688
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3689
(John Arbash Meinel)
3690
3691
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3692
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3693
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3694
3695
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3696
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3697
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3698
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3699
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3700
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3701
3702
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3703
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3704
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3705
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3706
activity display respectively.
3707
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3708
3709
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3710
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3711
3712
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
3713
(Martin Pool)
3714
3715
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.

3720
*********
3721
3722
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3723
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3724
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3725
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3726
3727
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3728
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3729
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3730
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3731
(Robert Collins)
3732
3733
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3734
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3735
3736
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3737
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3738
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3739
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3740
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3741
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3742
3743
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3744
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3745
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3746
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3747
3748
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3749
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3750
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3751
(John Arbash Meinel)
3752
3753
3754
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3755
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3756
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3757
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3758
3759
3760
Improvements
3761
************
3762
3763
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3764
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3765
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3766
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3767
3768
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3769
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3770
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3771
3772
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3773
(Benoît PIERRE)
3774
3775
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3776
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3777
3778
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``

3816
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3817
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3818
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3819
intermittently.
3820
3821
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3822
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3823
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3824
3825
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3826
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.

3828
Bug Fixes
3829
*********
3830
3831
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3832
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3833
3834
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3835
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3836
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3837
3838
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3839
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3840
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3841
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3842
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3843
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3844
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3845
3846
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3847
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3848
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3849
3850
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3851
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3852
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3853
3854
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3855
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3856
that. (Robert Collins)
3857
3858
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3859
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3860
repository. (Robert Collins)
3861
3862
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3863
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3864
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3865
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
3906
************
3907
3908
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3909
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3910
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3911
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3912
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3913
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3914
in bzr 2.0.
3915
3916
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3917
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3918
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3919
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3920
3921
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3922
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3923
3924
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3925
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3926
3927
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3928
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3929
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3930
3931
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3932
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)

Improvements
3935
************
3936
3937
3938
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3939
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3940
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3941
3942
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3943
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3944
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3945
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3946
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3947
3948
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3949
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3950
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3951
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3952
3953
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3954
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3955
* diff (2X faster)
3956
* tags (70X faster)
3957
3958
(Ian Clatworthy)
3959
3960
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3961
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3962
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

3971
3972
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3973

3974
3975
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3976
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3977
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3978
3979
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3980
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3981
3982
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3983
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3984
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3985
3986
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3987
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3988
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3989

3992
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)

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

* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3998
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3999
4000
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
4001
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
4002
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
4003
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
4004
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
4005
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
4006
bug-free) methods.
4007
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
4008

* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
4010
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
4011
4012
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
4013
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
4014
4015
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
4016
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
4017
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
4018
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
4019
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
4020
4021
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4022
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4023
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4024
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

4191
4192
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4193
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4194
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4195
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4196
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4197
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4198
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4199
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4200
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4201
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4202
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4203
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4204
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4205
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)

4240
4241
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4242
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4243
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4244
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4245
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4246
4247
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4248
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4249
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4250
4251
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4252
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4253
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4254
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4255
4256
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4257
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4258
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4259
4260
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4261
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4262
4263
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4264
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4265
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4266
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4267
4268
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4269
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4270
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4271
4272
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4273
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4274
4275
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4276
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4277
branches. (Robert Collins)
4278
4279
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4280
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4281
4282
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4283
4284
Testing
4285
*******
4286
4287
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4288
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4339
********************
4340
4341
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4342
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4343
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4344
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4345
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4346
4347
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4348
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4349
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4350
4351
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4352
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4353
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4354
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4355
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4356
4357
New Features
4358
************
4359
4360
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4361
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4362
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4363
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4364
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4365
(Ian Clatworthy)
4366
4367
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4368
(Aaron Bentley)
4369
4370
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4371
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4372
4373
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4374
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4375
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4376
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4377
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4378
4379
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4380
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4381
4382
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4383
(Aaron bentley)
4384
4385
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4386
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4387
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4388
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4389
(Ian Clatworthy)
4390
4391
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4392
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4393
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4394
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4395
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4396
4397
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4398
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4399
(Ian Clatworthy)
4400
4401
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4402
(Aaron Bentley)
4403
4404
Improvements
4405
************
4406
4407
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4408
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4409
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4410
4411
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4412
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4413
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4414
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4415
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4416
4417
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4418
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4419
(Ian Clatworthy)
4420
4421
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4422
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4423
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4424
4425
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4426
(Ian Clatworthy)
4427
4428
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4429
(Ian Clatworthy)
4430
4431
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4432
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4433
4434
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4435
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4436
4437
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4438
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4439
4440
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4441
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4442
#294479)
4443
4444
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4445
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4446
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4447
4448
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4449
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4450
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4451
(Ian Clatworthy)
4452
4453
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4454
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4455
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4456
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4457
4458
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4459
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4460
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4461
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4462
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4463
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4464
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4465
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4466
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4467
4468
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
4472
*********
4473
4474
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4475
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4476
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4477
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4478
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4479
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4480
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4481
4482
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4483
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4484
4485
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4486
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4487
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4488
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4489
4490
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4491
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4492
4493
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4494
4495
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4496
#313028)
4497
4498
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4499
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4500
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4501
4502
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4503
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4504
4505
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4506
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4507
4508
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4509
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4510
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4511
4512
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4513
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4514
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4515
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4516
4517
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4518
4519
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4520
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4521
4522
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4523
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4524
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4525
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4526
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4527
4528
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4529
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4530
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4531
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4532
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4533
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4534
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4535
4536
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4537
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4538
4539
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4540
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4541
(Andrea Bolognani)
4542
4543
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4544
(James Westby, #341558)
4545
4546
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4547
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4548
4549
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4550
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4551
4552
Documentation
4553
*************
4554
4555
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4556
4557
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4558
4559
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
4563
***********
4564
4565
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4566
(Martin Pool)
4567
4568
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4569
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4570
(Robert Collins)
4571
4572
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4573
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4574
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4575
4576
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4577
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4578
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4579
4580
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4581
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4582
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4583
4584
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4585
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4586
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4587
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4588
(Ian Clatworthy)
4589
4590
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4591
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4592
(Jean-Francois Roy)
4593
4594
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4595
(Martin Pool)
4596
4597
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4598
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4599
4600
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4601
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4602
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4603
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4604
4605
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4606
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4607
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4608
4609
Testing
4610
*******
4611
4612
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4613
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4614
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4615
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4616
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4617
4618
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4620
4621
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4622
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4623
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4624
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4625
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4626
4627
Internals
4628
*********
4629
4630
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4631
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4632
4633
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4634
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4635
4636
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4637
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4638
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4639
4640
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4641
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4642
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4643
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4644
4645
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4646
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4647
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4648
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4649
4650
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4651
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4652
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4653
4654
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4655
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4656
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4657
4658
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4659
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4660
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4661
4662
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4663
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4664
(Robert Collins)
4665
4666
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4667
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4668
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4669
4670
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4671
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4672
4673
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4674
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4675
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4676
4677
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4678
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4679
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4680
4681
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4682
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4683
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4684
4685
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4686
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4687
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4688
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4689
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4690
4691
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4692
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4693
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4694
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4695
4696
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4697
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4698
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4699
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4700
4701
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4702
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4703
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4704
4705
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4706
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4707
(Andrew Bennetts)
4708
4709
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4710
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4711
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4712
4713
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4714
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4715
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4716
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4717
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4718
4719
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4720
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4721
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4722
Vincent Ladeuil)
4723
4724
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4725
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4726
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4727
desired. (Robert Collins)
4728
4729
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4730
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4731
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4732
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4733
4734
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4735
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4736
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4753
*****************************
4754
4755
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4756
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4757
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4758
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4759
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4760
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4761
appeared now.

New Features
4810
************
4811
4812
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4813
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4814
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4815
4816
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4817
(Martin Pool)
4818
4819
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4820
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4821
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4822
(Ian Clatworthy)
4823
4824
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4825
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4826
4827
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4828
(John Arbash Meinel)
4829
4830
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4831
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4832
4833
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4834
4835
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4836
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4837
(Jonathan Lange)
4838
4839
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4840
(Jonathan Lange)
4841
4842
Improvements
4843
************
4844
4845
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4846
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4847
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4848
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4849
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4850
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4851
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4852
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4853
(Robert Collins)
4854
4855
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4856
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4857
4858
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4859
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4860
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4861
4862
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4863
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4864
4865
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4866
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4867
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4868
(Ian Clatworthy)
4869
4870
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4871
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4872
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4875
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4876
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4877
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4878
4879
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4880
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4881
4882
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4883
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4884
4885
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4886
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4887
4888
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4889
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4890
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4891
4892
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4893
4894
Bug Fixes
4895
*********
4896
4897
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4898
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4899
4900
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4901
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4902
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4903
4904
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4905
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4906
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4907
4908
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4909
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4910
4911
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4912
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4913
Vernooij, #315048)
4914
4915
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4916
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4917
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4918
4919
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4920
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4921
4922
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4923
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4924
4925
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4926
(James Westby, #174539)
4927
4928
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4929
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4930
4931
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4932
error branching from old repositories.
4933
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4934
4935
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4936
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4937
4938
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4939
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4940
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4941
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4942
4943
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4944
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4945
#334808)
4946
4947
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4948
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4949
4950
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4951
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4952
4953
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4954
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4955
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4956
4957
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4958
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4959
4960
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.

4968
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4969
(Ian Clatworthy)
4970
4971
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4972
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4973
4974
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
4978
***********
4979
4980
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4981
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4982
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4983
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4984
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4985
4986
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4987
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4988
4989
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4990
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4991
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4992
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4993
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4994
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4995
4996
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4997
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4998
4999
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
5000
"author" argument being deprecated.
5001
5002
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
5003
5004
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
5005
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
5006
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
5007
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
5008
5009
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
5010
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
5011
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
5012
5013
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
5014
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
5015
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
5016
5017
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
5018
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
5019
5020
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
5021
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
5022
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
5023
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
5024
5025
Internals
5026
*********
5027
5028
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
5029
free of virtual file system methods.
5030
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5031
5032
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
5033
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
5034
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
5035
5036
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
5037
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
5038
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
5039
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
5040
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
5041
(Robert Collins, #334187)
5042
5043
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
5044
5045
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
5046
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
5047
5048
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5049
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5050
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5051
stream the operation.
5052
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5053
5054
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5055
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5056
5057
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5058
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5059
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5060
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5061
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5062
5063
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5064
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5065
5066
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5067
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5068
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5069
5070
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5071
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5072
(Robert Collins)
5073
5074
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5075
(Robert Collins)
5076
5077
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5078
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5079
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5080
5081
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5082
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5083
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5084
5085
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5086
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5087
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5088
5089
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5090
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5091
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5092
5093
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5094
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5095
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5096
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5097
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5098
5099
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5100
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5101
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5102
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5103
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5104
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5105
5106
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5107
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5108
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5109
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5110
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5111
5112
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5113
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5114
5115
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5116
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5117
5118
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5119
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5120
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5121
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5122
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5123
5124
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5125
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

5136
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5137
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5138
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5139
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5140
by showing the rate of network IO.
5141
5142
Changes from RC1 to Final
5143
*************************
5144
5145
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5146
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5147
5148
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5149
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5150
5151
Compatibility Breaks
5152
********************
5153
5154
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5155
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5156
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5157
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5158
5159
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5160
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5161
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5162
(Ian Clatworthy)
5163
5164
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5165
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5166
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5167
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5168
5169
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5170
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5171
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5172
(Ian Clatworthy)
5173
5174
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5175
5176
New Features
5177
************
5178
5179
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5180
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5181
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5182
(Marius Kruger)
5183
5184
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5185
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5186
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5187
5188
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5189
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5190
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5191
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5192
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5193
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5194
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5195
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5196
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5197
(Ian Clatworthy)
5198
5199
Improvements
5200
************
5201
5202
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5203
(Daniel Watkins)
5204
5205
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5206
(Marius Kruger)
5207
5208
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5209
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5210
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5211
5212
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5213
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5214
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5215
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5216
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5217
5218
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5219
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5220
5221
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5222
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5223
level for better precision.
5224
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5225
5226
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5227
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5228
5229
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5230
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5231
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5232
5233
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5234
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5235
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5236
(Andrew Bennetts)
5237
5238
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5239
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5240
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5241
5242
Bug Fixes
5243
*********
5244
5245
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5246
anymore.
5247
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5248
5249
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5250
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5251
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5252
5253
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5254
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5255
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5256
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5257
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5258
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5259
5260
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5261
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5262
5263
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5264
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5265
5266
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5267
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5268
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5269
5270
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5271
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5272
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5273
(Andrew Bennetts)
5274
5275
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5276
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5277
5278
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5279
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5280
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5281
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5282
5283
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5284
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5285
handled.
5286
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5287
5288
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
5289
5290
Documentation
5291
*************
5292
5293
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5294
5295
API Changes
5296
***********
5297
5298
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5299
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5300
(Martin Pool)
5301
5302
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5303
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5304
5305
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5306
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5307
5308
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5309
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5310
5311
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5312
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5313
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5314
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5315
5316
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5317
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5318
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5319
5320
Internals
5321
*********
5322
5323
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5324
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5325
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5326
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5327
compile buffers, are such an example).
5328
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5329
5330
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5331
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5332
(Ian Clatworthy)
5333
5334
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5335
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5336
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5337
(Ian Clatworthy)
5338
5339
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5340
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5341
5342
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5343
formatters to retrict the output.

:Codename: "Eyes up!"
5351
:Released: 2009-01-19
5352
5353
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5354
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5355
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5356
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5357
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5358
5359
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5360
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5361
advice.
5362
5363
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5364
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
5365

Changes
5384
*******
5385
5386
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5387
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5388
5389
New Features
5390
************
5391
5392
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5393
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5394
5395
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5396
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5397
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5398
implement other plugins.
5399
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5400
5401
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
5402
(Aaron Bentley)
5403
5404
Improvements
5405
************
5406
5407
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5408
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5409
5410
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5411
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5412
5413
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5414
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5415
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5416
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5417
(Mark Hammond)
5418
5419
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5420
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5421
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5422
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5423
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5424
5425
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5426
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5427
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5428
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5429
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
5430
5431
Bug Fixes
5432
*********
5433
5434
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5435
control directory. (#139691)
5436
5437
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5438
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5439
5440
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5441
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5442
5443
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5444
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5445
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
5446
5447
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
5448
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
5449
5450
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
5451
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5452
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5453
5454
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
5455
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
5456
5457
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
5458
(Jari Aalto)
5459
5460
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
5461
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
5462
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
5463
5464
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5465
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5466
5467
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5468
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5469
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5470
5471
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5472
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5473
in the appropriate sections.
5474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5475
5476
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
5477
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5478
(John Arbash meinel)
5479
5480
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5481
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
5482
5483
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
5484
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
5485
5486
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
5487
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5488
5489
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5490
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
5491
work better with how it splits its requests.
5492
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
5493
5494
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5495
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5496
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5497
5498
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
5499
(Aaron Bentley)
5500
5501
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
5502
5503
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
5504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
5505
5506
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles

Documentation
5510
*************
5511
5512
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
5513
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
5514
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
5515
(Ian Clatworthy)
5516
5517
API Changes
5518
***********
5519
5520
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5521
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5522
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5523
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5524
5525
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5526
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5527
5528
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5529
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5530
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5531
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5532
5533
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5534
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5535
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5536
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5537
5538
Testing
5539
*******
5540
5541
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5542
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5543
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5544
5545
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5546
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5547
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5548
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5549
5550
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5551
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5552
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
5553

Internals
5556
*********
5557
5558
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
5559
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5560
(John Arbash Meinel)
5561
5562
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5563
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5564
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5565
(John Arbash Meinel)
5566
5567
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5568
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5569
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5570
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5571
5572
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5573
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5574
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5575
5576
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5577
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5578
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5579
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5580
5581
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5582
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5583
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5584
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5585
(John Arbash Meinel)
5586
5587
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5588
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5589
5590
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5591
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5592
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5593
5594
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5595
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5596
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete

* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5600
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5601
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5602
(John Arbash Meinel)
5603
5604
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5605
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5606
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5607
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5608
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5609
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5610
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5611
5612
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function

5622
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5623
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5624
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5625
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5626
implementation.
5627
5628
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.

5631
*********
5632
5633
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5634
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5635
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5636
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5637
5638
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5639
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5640
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5641
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5642
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

5650
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5651
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5652
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5653
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5654
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features
5657
************
5658
5659
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5660
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5661
5662
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
5666
************
5667
5668
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5669
history just to set the last revision info.
5670
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5671
5672
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5673
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5674
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5675
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5676
5677
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5678
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5679
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5680
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5681
(John Arbash Meinel)
5682
5683
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5684
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5685
5686
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5687
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5688
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5689
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5690
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5691
5692
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5693
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5694
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5695
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes

*********
5699
5700
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5701
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5702
5703
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5704
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5705
5706
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5707
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5708
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5709
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5710
5711
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5712
starting with a dotted revno.
5713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5714
5715
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5716
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5717
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5718
5719
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5720
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5721
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5722
5723
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5724
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5725
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5726
5727
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5728
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5729
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5730
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5731
5732
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5733
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5734
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5735
5736
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

5739
API Changes
5740
***********
5741
5742
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5743
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5744
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5745
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5746
5747
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5748
have changed incompatibly.
5749
5750
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5751
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5752
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5753
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5754
don't need to change.
5755
5756
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5757
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

:Released: 2008-11-07
5772
5773
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5774
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5775
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5776
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5777
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5778
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5779
5780
Bug Fixes
5781
*********
5782

* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
5784

5785
5786
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)

5801
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5802
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5803
5804
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5805
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5806
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5807
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5808
5809
Improvements
5810
************
5811
5812
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5813
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5814
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5815
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5816
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5817
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5818
5819
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5820
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5821
5822
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5823
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5824
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5825
5826
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5827
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5828
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5829
(Andrew Bennetts)
5830
5831
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5832
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5833
5834
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5835
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5836
5837
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5838
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5839
5840
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5841
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5842
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5843
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5844
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5845
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5846
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5847
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5848
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5849
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
5852
*********
5853
5854
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5855
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5856
5857
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5858
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5859
5860
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5861
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5862
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5863
5864
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5865
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5866
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5867
5868
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5869
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5870
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5871
5872
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5873
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5874
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5875
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5876
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5877
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5878
5879
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5880
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5881
5882
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5883
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5884
5885
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5886
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5887
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5888
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5889
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5890
5891
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5892
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5893
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

*******
5944
5945
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5946
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5947
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5948
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5949
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)

5952
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)

5956
5957
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5958
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5959
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5960
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5961
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running

* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5977
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5978
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5979
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5980
5981
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5982
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5983
(Daniel Watkins)
5984
5985

5986
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5998
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5999
6000
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
6001
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
6002
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
6003
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
6004
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
6005
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
6006
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
6007
operations. (Robert Collins)

6218
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown

************
6248
6249
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6250
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6251
(Martin Pool)
6252
6253
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6254
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6255
6256
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6257
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6258
(Marius Kruger)
6259
6260
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6261
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6262
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6263
(John Arbash Meinel)
6264
6265
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6266
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6267
6268
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6269
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6270
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6271
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6272
(John Arbash Meinel)
6273
6274
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6275
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6276
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6277
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6278
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6279
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6280
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6281
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6282
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6283
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6289
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6290
6291
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6292
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6293
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6294
6295
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6296
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6297
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6298
6299
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6300
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6301
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6302
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6303
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6304
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6305
6306
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6307
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6308
6309
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6310
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6311
6312
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6313
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6314
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6315
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6316
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6317
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
6318
6319
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6320
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6321
6322
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6323
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6324
6325
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6326
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6327
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6328
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6329
6330
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6331
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6332
6333
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6334
assuming the host name is ascii.
6335
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
6336

6388
(Robert Collins)
6389
6390
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6391
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6392
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6393
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6394
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6395

* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
6397
is unknown in both source and target.
6398
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6399
6400
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6401
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6402
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6403
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6404
6405
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6406
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6407
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6408
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

############
6437
6438
:Released: 2008-08-29
6439
6440
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6441
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6442
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6443
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6444
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6445
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6446
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6447
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6448
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6449
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6450
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6451
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6452
6453
Bug Fixes
6454
*********
6455
6456
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6457
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6458
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6459
start of the string (causing more copies).
6460
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6461
especially for projects with large files.
6462
(John Arbash Meinel)
6463
6464
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6465
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6466
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6467
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6468
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6469
6470
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6471
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6472
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6473
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6474
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
6484
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6485
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6486
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6487
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6488
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6489
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6490
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6491
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
6552
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
6553
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
6554
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
6555
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

Bug Fixes
6567
*********
6568
6569
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
6570
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
6571
6572
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
6573
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
6574
(Aaron Bentley)
6575
6576
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
6577
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
6578
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
6579
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
6580
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
6581
6582
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
6583
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6584
6585
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6586
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6587
6588
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6589
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6590
6591
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6592
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6593
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6594
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6595
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6596
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

:Released: 2008-08-06
6603
6604
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6605
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6606
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6607
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6608
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6609
6610
Changes
6611
*******
6612
6613
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6614
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6615
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6616
6617
Improvements
6618
************
6619
6620
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6621
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6622
6623
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6624
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6625
6626
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6627
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6628
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6629
6630
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6631
(James Westby)
6632
6633
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6634
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6635
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6636
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6637
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6638
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6639
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6640
6641
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6642
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6643
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6644
6645
Bug Fixes
6646
*********
6647
6648
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6649
physical repository boundaries.
6650
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6651
6652
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6653
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6654
6655
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6656
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6657
(Martin Pool)
6658
6659
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6660
(Ian Clatworthy)
6661
6662
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
6663
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
6664
that Python is running from.
6665
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
6666
6667
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
6668
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
6669
(Robert Collins, #150438)
6670
6671
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
6672
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
6673
6674
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
6675
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
6676
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
6677
6678
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
6679
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
6680
6681
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
6682
(James Westby, #248448)
6683
6684
API Changes
6685
***********
6686
6687
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
6688
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
6689
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
6690
(Robert Collins)
6691
6692
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
6693
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
6694
(Robert Collins)
6695
6696
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6697
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6698
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6699
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6700
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6701
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
6702
(Robert Collins)
6703
6704
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
6705
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6706
6707
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6708
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6709
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6710
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6711
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
6712
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
6713
6714
Internals
6715
*********
6716
6717
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
6718
putting together a real history without having to create a full
6719
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
6720
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
6721
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
6722
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6723
6724
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
6725
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
6726
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
6727
6728
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
6729
(Ian Clatworthy)
6730
6731
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
6732
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
6733
6734
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

6741
:Released: 2008-07-17
6742
6743
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
6744
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
6745
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
6746
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
6747
bug fixes.
6748
6749
Features
6750
********
6751
6752
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
6753
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
6754
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6755
6756
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6757
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6758
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6759
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6760
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6761
(Ian Clatworthy)
6762
6763
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6764
6765
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6766
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6767
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6768
(Robert Collins)
6769
6770
Improvements
6771
************
6772
6773
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6774
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6775
(Martin Pool)
6776
6777
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6778
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6779
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6780
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6781
6782
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6783
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6784
(Christophe Troestler)
6785
6786
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6787
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6788
6789
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6790
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6791
faster. The new request method name is
6792
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6793
6794
Bug Fixes
6795
*********
6796
6797
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6798
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6799
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6800
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6801
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6802
6803
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6804
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6805
6806
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6807
requires a branch to be present.
6808
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6809
6810
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6811
loaded.
6812
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6813
6814
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6815
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6816
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6817
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6818
6819
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6820
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6821
6822
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6823
name contains an @.
6824
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6825
6826
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6827
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6828
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6829
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6830
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6831
6832
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6833
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6834
6835
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6836
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6837
6838
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6839
Cygwin Bazaar.
6840
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6841
6842
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
6843
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
6844
6845
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.

6859
6860
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6861
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6862
6863
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6864
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6865
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6866
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6867
6868
API Changes
6869
***********
6870
6871
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6872
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6873
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6874
Repository docstring for more details.
6875
(Robert Collins)
6876
6877
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6878
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6879
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6880
6881
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6882
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6883
(Daniel Watkins)
6884
6885
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6886
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6887
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6888
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

Internals
6891
*********
6892
6893
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
6894
(Alexander Belchenko)
6895
6896
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6897
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6898
containing a given location.
6899
(Daniel Watkins)
6900
6901
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6902
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6903
storage. (Robert Collins)
6904
6905
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6906
(Robert Collins)
6907
6908
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,

*********
6925
6926
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6927
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6928
reading from the repository.)
6929
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
6930
6931
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6932
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

6935
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.

6937
6938
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6939
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6940
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6941
6942
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6943
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6944
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6945
6946
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6947
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6948
6949
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6950
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6951
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,

uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
7006
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
7007

Notes When Upgrading
7013
********************
7014
7015
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
7016
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
7017
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
7018
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
7019
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
7020
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
7021
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
7041
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
7042
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
7043
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7044
7045
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
7046
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
7047
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7048
7049
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7050
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7051
7052
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7053
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7054
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7055
7056
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7057
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7058
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7059
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7060
step closer to not using full revision history.

***********
7158
7159
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7160
instead. (Martin Pool)
7161
7162
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7163
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7164
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7165
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7166
7167
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7168
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7169
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7170
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7171
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7172
7173
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7174
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7175
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7176
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7177
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7178
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7179
7180
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7181
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7182
(Martin Pool)
7183
7184
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7185
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7186
(Robert Collins)
7187
7188
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7189
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7190
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7191
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7192
7193
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7194
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7195
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7196
7197
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7198
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7199
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7200
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7201
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7202
(Martin Pool)
7203
7204
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7205
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7206
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7207
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7208
(Robert Collins)
7209
7210
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7211
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7212
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7213
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7214
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7215
7216
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7502

7503

Improvements
7513
************
7514
7515
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7516
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7517
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7518
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7519
7520
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7521
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7522
7523
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7524
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7525
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7526
Wouter van Heyst)
7527
7528
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7529
(Chad Miller)
7530
7531
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7532
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7533
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7534
7535
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7536
(Aaron Bentley)
7537
7538
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7539
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7540
7541
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7542
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7543
7544
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7545
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7546
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7547
7548
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7549
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7550
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7551
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7552
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7553
7554
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7555
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7556
7557
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7558
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7559

Bugfixes
7561
********
7562
7563
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7564
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7565
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7566
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7567
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7568
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7569
7570
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7571
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7572
7573
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7574
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7575
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7576
7577
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7578
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7579
7580
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7581
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7582
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7583
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7584
7585
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7586
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7587
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7588
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7589
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7590
7591
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7592
7593
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7594
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7595
7596
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7597
7598
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7599
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7600
7601
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

7618
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7619
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7620
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7621
7622
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7623
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7624
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7625
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7626
7627
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7628
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7629
release. (James Westby)
7630
7631
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7632
(Andrew Bennetts)
7633
7634
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7635
7636
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7637
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7638
7639
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7640
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7641
7642
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7643
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7644
7645
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7646
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7647
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7648
7649
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7650
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7651
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7652
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7653
7654
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7655
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7656
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7657
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7658
7659
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7660
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7661
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7662
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7663
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7664
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7665
7666
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7667
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7668
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7669
7670
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7671
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7672
7673
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7674
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7675
(Robert Collins)
7676
7677
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7678
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
7679
7680
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7681
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7682
7683
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7684
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7685
7686
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7687
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7688
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7689
7690
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7691
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7692
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7693
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7694
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7695
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7696
7697
Testing
7698
*******
7699
7700
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7701
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7702
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7703
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7704
7705
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7706
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7707
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7708
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7709
implement this).
7710
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7711
7712
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
7713
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
7714
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7715
7716
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
7717
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

7720
7721
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
7722
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
7723
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)

7730
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
7731
(Martin Albisetti)
7732
7733
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7734
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7735
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7736
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7737
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
7738
(Martin Pool, #109520)
7739
7740
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7741
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7742
7743
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7744
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7745
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7746

7748
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7749

7807
Changes
7808
*******
7809
7810
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7811
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7812
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7813
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7814
(Robert Collins)
7815
7816
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7817
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7818
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7819
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7820
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7821
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7822
7823
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7824
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7825
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.

7845
7846
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7847
7848
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7849
7850
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7851
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7852
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7853
7854
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7855
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7856
7857
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7858
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7859
7860
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7861
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7862
(Alexander Belchenko)
7863
7864
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7865
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7866
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7867
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7868
7869
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7870
(Daniel Watkins)
7871
7872
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7873
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7874
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7875
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7876
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Notes When Upgrading
8002
********************
8003
8004
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
8005
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
8006
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
8007
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
8008
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
8009
(Andrew Bennetts)

8011
Changes
8012
*******
8013
8014
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
8015
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
8016
8017
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
8018
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
8019
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
8020
8021
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
8022
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
8023
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
8024
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
8025
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
8026
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
8027
(Aaron Bentley)
8028
8029
Features
8030
********
8031
8032
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
8033
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8034
8035
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
8036
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
8037
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
8038
(Robert Collins)
8039
8040
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
8041
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
8042
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
8043
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
8044
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
8045
8046
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
8047
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
8048
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8049
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8050
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8051
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8052
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8053
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
8054
8055
Improvements
8056
************
8057
8058
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8059
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8060
8061
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8062
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8063
8064
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8065
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8066
8067
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8068
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8069
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8070
8071
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8072
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

Bugfixes
8076
********
8077
8078
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8079
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8080
8081
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8082
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8083
8084
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8085
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8086
8087
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8088
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8089
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8090
8091
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8092
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8093
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8094
8095
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8096
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8097
8098
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8099
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8100
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8101
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8102
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8103
unittest runner.
8104
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8105
8106
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8107
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8108
#185907)
8109
8110
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8111
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8112
8113
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8114
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8115
8116
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8118
8119
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8120
more characters which should be considered valid.
8121
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8122
8123
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8124
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8125
8126
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8127
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
8128
8129
API Breaks
8130
**********
8131
8132
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8133
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8134
8135
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8136
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8137
(Martin Pool)
8138
8139
Testing
8140
*******
8141
8142
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8143
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8144
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8145
8146
Internals
8147
*********
8148
8149
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8150
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8151
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8152
8153
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8154
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8155
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8156
8157
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8158
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8159
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8160
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8161
8162
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8163
8164
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8165
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8166
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8167
server. (Robert Collins)
8168
8169
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8170
operate. (Robert Collins)
8171
8172
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8173
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8174
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8175
8176
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8177
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8178
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8179
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8180
8181
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8182
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8183
8184
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8185
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8186
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8187
8188
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8189
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8190
8191
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8192
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8193
8194
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8195
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8196
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8197
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

8214
8215
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8216
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8217
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8218
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8219
8220
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8221
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has

#90049)
8242
8243
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8244

8245
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8246
8247
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8248
8249
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8250
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8251
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8252
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8253
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8254
8255
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8256
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8257
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8567
********************
8568
8569
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8570
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8571
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8572
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8573
8574
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8575
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8576
8577
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8578
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8579
8580
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8581
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8582
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8583
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8584
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8585
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8586
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8587
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8588
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8589
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8590
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8591
from any tree without problems.

* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some

8864
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8865
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8866
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8867
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8868
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8869
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8870
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8871
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8872
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8873
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8945
8946
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8947
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8948
8949
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8950
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8951
8952
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8953
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)

Bug Fixes
8964
*********
8965
8966
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8967
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8968
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8969
8970
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8971
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8972
8973
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8974
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8975
8976
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8977
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8978
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8979
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8980
8981
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8982
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8983
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8984
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8985
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8986
8987
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8988
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8989
paramiko.
8990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8991
8992
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8993
8994
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8995
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8996
8997
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8998
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8999
9000
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
9001
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
9002
9003
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
9004
contains a symbolic link.
9005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
9006
9007
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
9008
(James Westby, #140615)
9009
9010
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
9011
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
9012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
9013
9014
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
9015
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
9016
(Martin Pool, #144633)
9017
9018
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
9019
9020
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
9021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
9022
9023
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
9024
will remain opened.
9025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
9026
9027
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
9028
directory to detect leaking tests.
9029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
9030
9031
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
9032
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
9033
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
9034
9035
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
9036
(Rob Weir, #141629)
9037
9038
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
9039
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
9040
9041
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
9042
Merwe)
9043
9044
API Breaks
9045
**********
9046
9047
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
9048
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
9049
9050
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9051
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
9052
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9053
9054
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9055
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9056
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
9057
9058
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
9059
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
9060
9061
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
9062
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
9063
9064
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
9065
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
9066
(Martin Pool)
9067
9068
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
9069
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
9070
9071
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
9072
class that needs it.
9073
(Martin Pool)
9074
9075
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9076
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9077
9078
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9079
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9080
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9081
9082
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
9083
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
9084
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9085
(Robert Collins)
9086
9087
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9088
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9089
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9090
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9091
(Robert Collins)
9092
9093
Internals
9094
*********
9095
9096
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9097
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9098
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9099
9100
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9101
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9102
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9103
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9104
9105
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9106
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9107
(Robert Collins)
9108
9109
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9110
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9111
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9112
9113
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9114
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9115
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9116
9117
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9118
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9119
9120
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9121
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9122
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9123
9124
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9125
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9126
9127
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9128
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9129
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9130
9131
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9132
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9133
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9134
9135
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9136
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9137
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9138
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9139
9140
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9141
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9142
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9143
returned. (Robert Collins)
9144
9145
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9146
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9147
9148
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9149
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9150
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9151
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9152
(Robert Collins)
9153
9154
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9155
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9156
9157
Testing
9158
*******
9159
9160
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9161
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9162
9163
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9164
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9165
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9166
makes this behavior available to other users.
9167
(Martin Pool)
9168
9169
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9170
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
9212
*******
9213
9214
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9215
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9216
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9217
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9218
(Martin Pool)
9219
9220
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9221
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9222
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9223
(Ian Clatworthy)
9224
9225
Features
9226
********
9227
9228
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9229
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9230
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9231
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9232
9233
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9234
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9235
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9236
9237
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9238
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9239
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9240
9241
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9242
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9243
9244
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9245
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9246
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9247
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9248
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9249
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9250
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9251
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9252
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9253
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9254
9255
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9256
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9257
9258
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9259
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9260
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9261
9262
Bug Fixes
9263
*********
9264
9265
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9266
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9267
9268
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9269
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9270
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9271
9272
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9273
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9274
9275
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9276
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9277
9278
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9279
(Aaron Bentley)
9280
9281
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9282
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9283
9284
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9285
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9286
9287
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9288
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9289
9290
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9291
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9292
9293
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9294
9295
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9296
Watkins, #106726)
9297
9298
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9299
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9300
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9301
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9302
9303
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9304
9305
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9306
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9307
#133548)
9308
9309
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9310
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9311
9312
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9313
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9314
#116143)
9315
9316
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9317
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9318
9319
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9320
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9321
9322
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9323
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9324
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9325
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9326
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9327
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9328
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9329
9330
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9331
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9332
9333
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9334
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9335
9336
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9337
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9338
9339
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9341
9342
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9343
connections.
9344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9345
9346
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9347
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9348
9349
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9350
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9351
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9352
9353
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9354
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
9358
************
9359
9360
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9361
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9362
9363
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9364
(Aaron Bentley)
9365
9366
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9367
(Aaron Bentley)
9368
9369
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9370
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9371
9372
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9373
9374
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9375
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9376
9377
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9378
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9379
9380
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9381
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9382
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9383
space). (Robert Collins)
9384
9385
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9386
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9387
(Ian Clatworthy)
9388
9389
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9390
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9391
9392
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9393
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9394
9395
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9396
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9397
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9398
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9399
9400
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9401
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9402
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.

* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9406
(Ian Clatworthy)
9407
9408
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9409
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.

9412
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9413
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9414
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9415
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9416
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)

**********
9420
9421
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9422
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9423
9424
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9425
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9426
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9427
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9428
affected. (Robert Collins)
9429
9430
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9431
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9432
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9433
(Robert Collins)

9436

* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be

* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9445
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9446
9447
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the

* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9451
(Aaron Bentley)

9457
*********
9458
9459
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9460
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9461
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9462
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9463
9464
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9465
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9466
9467
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9468
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9469
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9470
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9471
9472
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9473
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9474
present. (Robert Collins)
9475
9476
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9477
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9478
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9479
API. (Robert Collins)
9480
9481
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9482
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9483
(Robert Collins)
9484
9485
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9486
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9487
9488
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9489
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9490
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9491
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9492
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9493
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9494
9495
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9496
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9497
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9498
9499
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9500
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9501
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9502
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9503
protocol.
9504
9505
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9506
(Aaron Bentley)
9507
9508
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9509
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9510
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9511
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9512
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9513
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9514
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9515
9516
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9517
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9518
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9519
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9520
9521
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9522
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9523
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9524
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9525
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9526
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9527
9528
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9529
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9530
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9531
9532
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9533
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

********
9569
9570
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9571
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9572
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9573
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9574
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9575
9576
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9577
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9578

9580
anymore.
9581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9582
9583

9584
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9585
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9586
9587
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9588
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9589
#111664)
9590
9591

9594
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9595
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9596
9597
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9598
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9599
9600
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9601
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9602
9603
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.

9615
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9616
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9617
9618
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9619
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9620
9621
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9622
the repository (Robert Collins)
9623
9624
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9625
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9626
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9627
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9628
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9629
9630
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9631
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9632
9633
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9634
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9635
(John Arbash Meinel)
9636
9637
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9638
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9639
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9640
about 10%).
9641
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9642
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9643
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9644
(John Arbash Meinel)
9645
9646
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9647
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9648
(Robert Collins)
9649
9650
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9651
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9652
9653
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9654
(Ian Clatworthy)
9655
9656
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9657
9658
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9659
9660
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9661
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9662
9663
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9664
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9665
Meinel)
9666
9667
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9668
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9669
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9670
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9671
9672
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9673
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9674
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9675
9676
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9677
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9678
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9679
9680
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9681
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9682
9683
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9684
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9685
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9686
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9687
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9688
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.

9695
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9696
9697
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9698
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)

9709
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9710
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9711
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9712
9713
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9714
9715
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9716
(Robert Collins)
9717
9718
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9719
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9720
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9721
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9722
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9723
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)

9726
*********
9727
9728
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9729
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9730
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9731
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9732
9733
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9734
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9735
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9736
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9737
tests have been refactored too.
9738
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9739
9740
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9741
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9742
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9743
list, it will.
9744
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9745
9746
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9747
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9748
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9749
9750
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9751
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9752
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9753
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9754
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9755
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9756
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9757
9758
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9759
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9760
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9761
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9762
(John Arbash Meinel)
9763
9764
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9765
functionality for testing.
9766
9767
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9768
9769
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9770
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9771
9772
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9773
9774
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9775
(Robert Collins)
9776
9777
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9778
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9779
9780
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9781
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9782
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9783
9784
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9785
(Aaron Bentley)
9786
9787
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9788
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9789
9790
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9791
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9792
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9793
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9794
9795
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9796
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9797
9798
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9799
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9800
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9801
9802
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9803
(Marius Kruger)
9804
9805
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9806
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9807
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9808
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9809
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9810
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9811
9812
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9813
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9814
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9815
many files. (Robert Collins)
9816
9817
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9818
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9819
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9820
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9821
9822
Testing
9823
*******
9824
9825
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9826
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9827
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9828
9829
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9830
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9831
9832
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9833
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9834
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

9903
9904
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9905
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9906
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9907
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9908
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.

* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9916

9918
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9919
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9920
9921
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9922
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9923
9924
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9925
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9926
9927
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9928
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9929
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9930
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9931
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9932
9933
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9934
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9935
9936
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9937

9994
9995
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9996
9997
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9998
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9999
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
10000
10001
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
10002

* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
10005
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10006
10007
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
10008
10009
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
10010
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
10011
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
10012
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
10013
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
10014
same location. (Robert Collins)

10018
10019
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
10020
10021
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
10022
10023
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
10024
10025
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
10026
(Martin Pool)
10027
10028
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
10029
(Martin Pool)
10030
10031
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
10032
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
10033
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
10034
10035
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
10036
10037
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
10038
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
10039
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
10040
10041
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
10042
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
10043
10044
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
10045
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
10046
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
10047
10048
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10049
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10050
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10051
10052
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
10053
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
10054
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
10055
10056
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
10057
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
10058
Martin Pool)
10059
10060
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
10061
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
10062
10063
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
10064

Testing
10067
*******
10068
10069
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10070
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10071
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10072
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10073
10074
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10075
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10076
testing. (Robert Collins)
10077
10078
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10079
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10080
10081
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10082
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10083
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10084
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10085
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10086
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10087
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10088
10089
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10090
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10091
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10092
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10093
10094
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10095
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10096
10097
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10098
avoid useless cloning.

********************
10124
10125
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10126
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10127
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10128
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10129
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10130
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10131
and unlock() like so::
10132
10133
work_tree.lock_read()
10134

* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10142
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10143
object.
10144
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10145
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10146
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10147
10148

10150
too. (Robert Collins)

10156
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10157
Aaron Bentley)
10158
10159
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10160
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10161
10162
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10163
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10164
10165
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10166
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10167
understanding what changes have occurred
10168
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10169
10170
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10171
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10172
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10173
10174
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10175
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10176
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10177
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10291
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option

(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10320
10321
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10322
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10323
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10324
10325
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10326
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10327
Robert Collins)
10328
10329
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10330
Pool)
10331
10332
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10333
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10334
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10335
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10336
10337
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10338
(Robert Collins)
10339
10340
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10341
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10342
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10343
(Robert Collins)
10344
10345
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10346
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10347
10348
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10349
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10350
10351
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10352
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10353
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10354
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10355
(Robert Collins)
10356
10357
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10358
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10359
10360
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10361
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10362
10363
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10364
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10365
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10366
10367
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10368
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10369
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10370
10371
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10372
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10373
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10374
10375
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10376
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10377
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10378
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10379
10380
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10381
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10382
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10383
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10384
10385
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10386
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10387
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10388
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10389
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10390
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10391
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10392
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10393
header(s).

10399
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10400
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10401
10402
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10403
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10404
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10405
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10406
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10407
10408
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10409
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10410
10411
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10412
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10413
10414
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10415
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10416
10417
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10418
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10419
10420
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10421
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10422
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10423
(Robert Collins).
10424
10425
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10426
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10427
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10428
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10429
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10430
(Robert Collins)
10431
10432
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10433
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10434
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10435
10436
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10437
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10438
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10439
10440
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10441
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10442
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10443
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10444
10445
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10446
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10447
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10448
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10449
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10450
10451
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10452
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10453
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10454
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10455
10456
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10457
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10458
10459
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10460
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10461
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10462
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10463
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10464
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10465
10466
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10467
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10468
10469
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10470
help. (Robert Collins)
10471
10472
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10473
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10474
10475
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10476
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10477
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10478
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10479
(John Arbash Meinel)
10480
10481
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10482
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10483
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10484
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10485
useful. (Robert Collins)
10486
10487
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

10513
10514
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10515
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10516
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10517
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10518
10519
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10520
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
10521
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).

* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10555
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10556
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10557
10558
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10559
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10560
10561
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10562
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10563
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10564
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10565
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10566
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10567
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10568
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10569
10570
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10571
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10572
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10573
10574
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10575
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10576
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10577
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10578
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10579
access.

10620
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10621
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10622
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10623
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10624
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10625
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10626
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10627
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

10754
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10755
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10756
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10757
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10758
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10759
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10760
development.
10761
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10762
10763
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10764
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10765
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10766
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10767
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10768
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10769
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10770
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

Improvements
10773
************
10774
10775
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10776
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10777
10778
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10779
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10780
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10781
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10782
does exist.
10783
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10784
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10785
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10786
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10787
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10788
10789
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10790
(Aaron Bentley)
10791
10792
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10793
(Aaron Bentley)
10794
10795
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10796
(Robert Collins)
10797
10798
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10799
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10800
(Aaron Bentley)
10801
10802
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10803
(Aaron Bentley)
10804
10805
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10806
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10807
10808
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10809
directory. (Martin Pool)
10810
10811
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10812
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10813
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10814
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10815
10816
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10817
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10818
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10819
in docs/configuration.txt.
10820
10821
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10822
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10823
bind location.
10824
10825
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10826
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10827
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10828
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10829
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10830
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10831
10832
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10833
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10834
10835
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10836
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10837
10838
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
10839

Internals
10842
*********
10843
10844
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10845
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10846
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10847
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10848
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10849
(John Arbash Meinel)
10850
10851
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10852
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10853
(Aaron Bentley)
10854
10855
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10856
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10857
(John Arbash Meinel)
10858
10859
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10860
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10861
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10862
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10863
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10864
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10865
10866
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10867
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10868
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10869
10870
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10871
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10872
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10873
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10874
repository.
10875
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10876
10877
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10878
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10879
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10880
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10881
10882
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10883
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10884
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10885
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10886
10887
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10888
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10889
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10890
10891
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10892
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10893
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10894
10895
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10896
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10897
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10898
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10899
10900
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10901
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10902
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10903
10904
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10905
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10906
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10907
10908
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10909
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10910
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10911
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10912
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10913
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10914
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10915
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10916
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

10926
10927
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10928

10929
10930
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10931
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply

************
11001
11002
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
11003
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
11004
server, then you can write over the http connection.
11005
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11006
11007
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
11008
(Marius Kruger)
11009
11010
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
11011
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
11012
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
11013
11014
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
11015
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)

11017
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
11018
(Aaron Bentley)
11019
11020
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
11021
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
11022
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
11023
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
11024
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
11025
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
11026
11027
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
11028
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
11029
should enable you to do::
11030
11031
[/home/user/project]
11032
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
11033
push_location:policy = appendpath
11034
11035
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
11036
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
11037
(James Henstridge)
11038
11039
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags

preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
11069
11070

* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11092

11093
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

11196
11197

*********
11203
11204
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
11205
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11206
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11207
11208
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11209
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11210
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11211
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
11212
11213
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
11214
11215
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11216
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11217
11218
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11219
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11220
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
11222
11223
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
11224
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
11225
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11226
11227
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11228
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11229
them as full references rather than integers.
11230
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11231
11232
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11233
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11234
11235
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
11236
11237
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
11238
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
11239
11240
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
11241
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
11242
11243
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11244
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
11245
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
11246
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11247
11248
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11249
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
11250
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
11251
11252
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11253
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11254
11255
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11256
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11257
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11258
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

11286
11287
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11288
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11289
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11290
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11291
11292
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
11293
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11294
11295
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11296
11297
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11298
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11299
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11300
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11301
11302
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11303
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11304
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11305
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

11319
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11320
11321
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11322
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
11323
(John Arbash Meinel)
11324
11325
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
11326
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
11327
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
11328
11329
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
11330
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
11331
(Aaron Bentley)
11332
11333

11335
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11336
11337
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11338
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
11339
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11340
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
11341
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11342
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11343
11344
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
11345

11346
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.

``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,

single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
11365
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
11366
11367
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
11368

11369
11370
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11371
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11372
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
11373
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
11374
11375
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
11376
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)

11378
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try

11430
11431
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11432
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11433
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11434
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11435
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11436
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
11437
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

11447
11448
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11449
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11450
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11451
(Robert Collins)
11452
11453
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
11454

11455
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
11456

* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
11459

11461
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin

11537
11538

of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11549

11552
11553
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11554
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11555
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11556
11557
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11558
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11559
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11560
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11561
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11562
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11563
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11564
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11565
caller to repeat their request.
11566
(John Arbash Meinel)
11567
11568
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11569
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11570
11571
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11572
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11573
11574
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11575
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11576
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11577
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11578
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11579
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11580
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11581
11582
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11583
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11584
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11585
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11586
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11587
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11588
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11589
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11590
(Robert Collins)
11591
11592
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11593

************
11626
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11627
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11628
11629
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11630
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11631
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11632
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11633
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11634
11635
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11636
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11637
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11638
11639
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11640
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11641
11642
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11643
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

Bug Fixes
11647
*********
11648
11649
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11650
11651
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11652
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11653
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11654
11655
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11656
11657
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11658
11659
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11660
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11661
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11662
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11663
11664
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11665
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11666
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11667
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11668
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11669
11670
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11671
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11672
11673
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11674
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11675
11676
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11677
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11678
11679
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11680
in handling of revision properties.
11681
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11682
11683
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11684
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
11685
11686
Internals
11687
*********
11688
11689
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11690
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11691
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11692
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11693
(John Arbash Meinel)
11694
11695
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11696
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11697
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
11705
*********
11706
11707
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11708
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11709
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11710
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11711
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11712
a more conservative list than the old default.
11713
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11714
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11715
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11716
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11717
11718
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11719
to more locations than just branch locations.
11720
(Aaron Bentley)
11721
11722
Improvements
11723
************
11724
11725
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11726
revno:N:branch. For example,
11727
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11728
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11729
11730
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11731
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11732
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11733
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11734
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11735
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11736
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11737
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11738
#42517, #42514)
11739
11740
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11741
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11742
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11743
(Malone #3507)
11744
11745
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11746
(Alexander Belchenko)
11747
11748
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11749
11750
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11751
(Robert Collins).
11752
11753
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11754
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11755
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11756
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11757
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11758
(John Arbash Meinel)
11759
11760
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11761
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11762
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11763
grained analysis of performance.
11764
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11765
11766
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11767
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11768
11769
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11770
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11771
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11772
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11773
file. (Robert Collins).
11774
11775
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11776
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11777
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11778
11779
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11780
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11781
Matthieu Moy)
11782
11783
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11784
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11785
11786
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11787
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11788
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11789
the same way you would apply another branch.
11790
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11791
11792
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11793
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11794
11795
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11796
(Michael Ellerman)
11797
11798
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11799
(Aaron Bentley)
11800
11801
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11802
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11803
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11804
11805
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11806
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11807
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11808
11809
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11810
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11811
11812
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11813
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11814
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11815
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11816
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11817
11818
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11819
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11820
11821
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11822
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11823
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11824
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11825
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11826
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11827
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11828
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11829
11830
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11831
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11832
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
11833

Bug Fixes
11835
*********
11836
11837
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
11838
tests not to run.
11839
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
11840
11841
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11842
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11843
11844
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11845
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11846
11847
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11848
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11849
11850
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11851
11852
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11853
(John Arbash Meinel)
11854
11855
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11856
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11857
11858
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11859
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11860
and y.
11861
11862
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11863
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11864
11865
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11866
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11867
11868
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11869
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11870
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11871
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11872
11873
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11874
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
11875
11876
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
11877
11878
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11879
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
11880
11881
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
11882
11883
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
11884
11885
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11886
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11887
11888
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11889
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11890
11891
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11892
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11893
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11894
11895
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11896
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11897
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11898
11899
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11900
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11901
11902
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11903
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
11904
11905
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11906
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11907
11908
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11909
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11910
11911
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11912
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11913
11914
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11915
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11916
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11917
11918
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
11919
11920
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
11921
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
11922
11923
Internals
11924
*********
11925
11926
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
11927
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11928
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
11929
11930
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11931
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11932
11933
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11934
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11935
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11936
11937
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11938
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11939
11940
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11941
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11942
(Martin Pool)
11943
11944
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11945
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11946
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11947
11948
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11949
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11950
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11951
11952
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11953
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11954
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11955
11956
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11957
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
11958
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
11959
11960
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
11961
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
11962
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
11963
11964
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
11965
instead. (Robert Collins)
11966
11967
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
12044
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
12045
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
12046
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
12047
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
12048
will keep the same format.
12049
12050
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12051
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12052
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12053
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12054
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12055
12056
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12057
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12058
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12059
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12060
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12061
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12062
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12063
12064
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12065
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12066
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12067
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12068
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12069
12070
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12071
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12072
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12073
arrangement.

Improvements
12077
************
12078
12079
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12080
convention. Paths now take the form::
12081
12082
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12083
or
12084
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12085
12086
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12087
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12088
12089
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12090
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12091
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12092
12093
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12094
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12095
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12096
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12097
12098
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12099
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12100
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12101
12102
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12103
12104
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12105
12106
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12107
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12108
commits::
12109
12110
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12111
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12112
| xargs bzr re-sign
12113
12114
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12115
12116
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12117
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12118
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12119
(Robert Collins)
12120
12121
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12122
12123
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12124
12125
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12126
'.moved'.
12127
12128
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12129
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12130
12131
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12132
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12133
Daniel Silverstone)
12134
12135
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12136
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12137
Martin Pool)
12138
12139
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12140
12141
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12142
12143
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12144
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12145
12146
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12147
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12148
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12149
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12150
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12151
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12152
12153
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12154
12155
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12156
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12157
(Robert Collins)
12158
12159
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12160
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12161
12162
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12163
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12164
12165
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12166
12167
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12168
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12169
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12170
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12171
specification by Martin Pool.
12172
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12173
12174
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12175
Belchenko)
12176
12177
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12178
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12179
12180
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12181
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12182
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12183
12184
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12185
12186
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12187
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12188
(Robert Collins)
12189
12190
Changes
12191
*******
12192
12193
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12194
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12195
12196
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12197
12198
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12199
12200
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12201
(Olaf Conradi)
12202
12203
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12204
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12205
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12206
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12207
12208
Internals
12209
*********
12210
12211
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12212
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12213
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12214
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12215
12216
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12217
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12218
tried. (Martin Pool)
12219
12220
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12221
(Martin Pool)
12222
12223
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12224
12225
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12226
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12227
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12228
12229
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12230
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12231
12232
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12233
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12234
paths. (Robert Collins)
12235
12236
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12237
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12238
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12239
12240
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12241
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12242
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12243
12244
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12245
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12246
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12247
12248
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12249
(Olaf Conradi)
12250
12251
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12252
(Olaf Conradi)
12253
12254
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12255
12256
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12257
12258
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12259
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12260
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12261
(Robert Collins)
12262
12263
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12264
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12265
12266
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12267
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12268
check. (Robert Collins)
12269
12270
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12271
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12272
12273
Testing
12274
*******
12275
12276
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12277
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12278
12279
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12280
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12281
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12282
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12283
12284
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12285
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12286
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12287
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12288
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12289
12290
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12291
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12292
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12293
12294
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12295
12296
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12297
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
12305
*******
12306
12307
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12308
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12309
12310
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12311
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12312
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12313
(Johan Rydberg)
12314
12315
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12316
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12317
12318
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12319
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12320
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12321
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12322
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12323
12324
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12325
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12326
used. (Robert Collins)
12327
12328
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12329
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12330
(James Henstridge)
12331
12332
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12333
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12334
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12335
12336
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12337
ignore list.
12338
12339
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12340
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
12341
12342
Improvements
12343
************
12344
12345
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12346
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12347
12348
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12349
12350
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12351
12352
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12353
tree. (Robert Collins)
12354
12355
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12356
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12357
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12358
(Robert Collins)
12359
12360
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12361
that they be kept.
12362
12363
* Tweaks to short log printing
12364
12365
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12366
(Aaron Bentley)
12367
12368
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12369
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12370
12371
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12372
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12373
12374
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12375
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12376
12377
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12378
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12379
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12380
12381
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12382
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12383
12384
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12385
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12386
requests.
12387
12388
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12389
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12390
12391
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12392
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12393
12394
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12395
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12396
12397
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12398
(Denys Duchier)
12399
12400
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12401
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12402
12403
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12404
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12405
12406
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12407
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
12408

12416
12417
* Error when run with -OO
12418
12419
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
12420
(Martin Pool)
12421
12422
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
12423
12424
* Change status to 3 for all errors
12425
12426
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
12427
ignored by diff and status
12428
12429
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
12430
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
12431
12432
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
12433
12434
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
12435
12436
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
12437
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
12438
12439
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
12440
email address. (Marien Zwart)
12441
12442
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12443
(Harald Meland)
12444
12445
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
12446
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12447
12448
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12449
12450
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12451
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
12452
12453
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
12454
(Martin Pool)
12455
12456
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
12457
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)

*******
12463
12464
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12465
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12466
12467
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12468
12469
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12470
12471
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12472
12473
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12474
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12475
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12476
12477
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12478
12479
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12480
(John Arbash Meinel)
12481
12482
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12483
12484
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12485
If adding a new test script please add that to
12486
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12487
12488
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12489
imported. (Martin Pool)
12490
12491
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12492
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12493
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12494
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12495
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.

* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12499
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12500
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12501
12502
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12503
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12504
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12505
12506
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12507
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12508
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12509
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12510
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12511
(Robert Collins).
12512
12513
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12514
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.

12520
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12521
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12522
12523
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12524
function. (Robert Collins)
12525
12526
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12527
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12528
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12529
12530
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12531
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12532
(Robert Collins)
12533
12534
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12535
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12536
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12537
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12538
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12539
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12540
version. (Robert Collins)
12541
12542
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12543
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12544
12545
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12546
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12547
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12548
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12549
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12550
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12551
12552
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12553
(Robert Collins)
12554
12555
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
12556
12557
add()
12558
commit()
12559
move()
12560
rename_one()
12561
unknowns()
12562
12563
(Robert Collins)
12564
12565
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12566
12567
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12568
12569
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12570
Pool)
12571
12572
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12573
query method. (Robert Collins)
12574
12575
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12576
(Denys Duchier)
12577
12578
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12579
(Michael Ellerman)
12580
12581
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12582
(Michael Ellerman)
12583
12584
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12585
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12586
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12587
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12588
12589
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12590
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12591
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12592
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12593
12594
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12595
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

Improvements
12603
************
12604
12605
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12606
(John A Meinel)
12607
12608
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12609
conflicts.
12610
(Aaron Bentley)
12611
12612
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12613
a separator, not ':'.
12614
(Aaron Bentley)
12615
12616
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12617
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12618
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12619
12620
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12621
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12622
(Robert Collins)
12623
12624
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12625
has been added that suppresses all output.
12626
12627
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12628
Adams.
12629
12630
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12631
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12632
12633
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12634
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12635
12636
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12637
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12638
12639
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12640
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12641
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12642
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12643
12644
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12645
12646
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12647
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12648
12649
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12650
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12651
12652
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12653
output directory, if one was supplied.
12654
12655
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12656
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12657
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12658
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12659
12660
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12661
12662
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12663
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12664
12665
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12666
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12667
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12668
12669
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12670
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12671
12672
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12673
(Aaron Bentley)
12674
12675
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
12676
12677
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
12678
12679
Testing
12680
*******
12681
12682
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12683
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12684
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12685
12686
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12687
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12688
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12689
12690
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12691
is given. (Martin Pool)
12692
12693
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12694
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12695
file. (Robert Collins)
12696
12697
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
12698
(Martin Pool)
12699
12700
Internals
12701
*********
12702
12703
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12704
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12705
representation. (Martin Pool).
12706
12707
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12708
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12709
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12710
12711
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12712
(Robert Collins)
12713
12714
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12715
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12716
Magnus Therning.
12717
12718
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12719
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12720
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12721
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12722
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12723
12724
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12725
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12726
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12727
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12728
python path. (Robert Collins)
12729
12730
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12731
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12732
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12733
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12734
12735
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12736
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12737
12738
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12739
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12740
(Robert Collins)
12741
12742
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12743
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12744
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12745
12746
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12747
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12748
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12749
12750
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12751
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12752
12753
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12754
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12755
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12756
(Robert Collins)
12757
12758
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12759
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12760
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12761
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12762
(Robert Collins)
12763
12764
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12765
(Robert Collins)
12766
12767
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12768
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12769
(Robert Collins)
12770
12771
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12772
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12773
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12774
12775
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12776
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12777
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12778
12779
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12780
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12781
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12782
12783
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12784
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12785
12786
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12787
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12788
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12789
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12790
caller. (Robert Collins)
12791
12792
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12793
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12794
(Robert Collins).
12795
12796
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12797
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12798
(Aaron Bentley)
12799
12800
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12801
12802
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12803
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
12812

*****
12842
12843
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12844

12845
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12846
high-latency connections.

*********
12850
12851
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
12852
Rob Weir.
12853
12854
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
12855
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12856
12857
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12858
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12859
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12860
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12861
12862
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
12863
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
12864
12865
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
12866
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
12867
12868
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
12869
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12870
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12871
12872
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12873
for files with only a change to their executable status.
12874
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
12875
Robert Collins
12876
12877
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
12878
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
12879
12880
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
12881
different partial views of history.
12882
12883
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
12884
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
12885
12886
Improvements
12887
************
12888
12889
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12890
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12891
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12892
12893
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12894
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12895
'bzr upgrade'.
12896
12897
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12898
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12899
12900
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12901
Niemeyer.
12902
12903
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12904
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12905
12906
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12907
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12908
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12909
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12910
12911
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12912
12913
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12914
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12915
Gustavo Niemeyer.
12916
12917
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12918
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12919
12920
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12921
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
12922
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.

*********
12927
12928
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
12929
for your viewing pleasure.
12930
12931
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12932
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12933
12934
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12935
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12936
handling of such circumstances.
12937
12938
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12939
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12940
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12941
12942
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12943
12944
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12945
we call them revisions not patches.
12946
12947
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12948
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12949
12950
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12951
giving the revision *of that file*.
12952
12953
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12954
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12955
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
12956

Testing
12958
*******
12959
12960
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
12961
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
12962
12963
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids

12992
12993
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
12994
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
12995

************
13019
13020
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
13021
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
13022
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
13023
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
13024
Michael Ellerman.
13025
13026
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
13027
(Nir Soffer)
13028
13029
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
13030
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
13031
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
13032
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
13033
for the operating system is still tried.
13034
13035
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
13036
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
13037
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
13139
FOO.
13140
13141
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
13142
13143
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
13144
the Unix command.

13161
*******
13162
13163
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13164
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13165
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13166
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13167
13168
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13169
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13170
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13171
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13172
standard plugins directory.
13173
13174
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13175
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13176
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13177
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13178
13179
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13180
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13181
13182
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13183
disk.
13184
13185
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13186
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13187
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13188
13189
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13190
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13191
13192
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13193
line options must come before the command name because they
13194
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13195
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13196
it.
13197
13198
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13199
13200
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
13201
is available with ``--short``.

13218
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13219
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13220
13221
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13222
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13223
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13224
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13225
13226
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13227
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13228
with the ``--forward`` option.
13229
13230

13265
a filename.

13267
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
13268
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
13269
13270
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
13271
haven't changed since the previous time.
13272
13273

13274
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.

13287

the tests.
13309
13310
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13311
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13312
13313
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13314
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
13315
13316

************
13553
13554
* First public release.
13555
13556
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
13557
diff, status, etc.
1061
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
1062
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
1063
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
1064
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
