:2.3.4: 2011-07-14
71
72
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier

75
This mainly fixes bug #786980 which blocked the SRU process for Ubuntu Natty.

92
93
* Tweak an RPC implementation for ``Repository.get_parent_map``, it was
94
doing an inefficient ``small_set.difference_update(large_set)`` when we
95
can do ``small_set = small_set.difference(large_set)``. This speeds up
96
discovery time by about 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Accept some differences for ``bound_location`` from the config files that
105
were leading to a 'ReadOnlyError: A write attempt was made in a read only
106
transaction' error. (Vincent Ladeuil, #786980)
107
108
* Don't fail with traceback if `bzr serve` is running as a service on Windows,
109
and there is no USERNAME, nor BZR_EMAIL or other whoami-related environment
110
variables set. (Alexander Belchenko, Bug #660174)

139
140
* Remove the deprecation decorators for ``failUnlessExists`` and
141
``failIfExists``. The deprecation "will" occur in 2.4, not
142
before. Providing the wrappers is enough as far as 2.3 is concerned.

:2.3.3: 2011-05-13
149
150
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
151
2.3 releases.
152
153
This fixed a bug in the test suite triggered by python-2.7 deprecating some
154
tests helpers.

166
167
:2.3.2: 2011-05-12
168
169
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
170
2.3 releases.
171
172
This was never released due to bug #760435 interrupting the release process by
173
breaking the test suite under python-2.7 on natty.

Improvements
186
************
187
188
* Getting all entries from ``CHKInventory.iter_entries_by_dir()`` has been
189
sped up dramatically for large trees. Iterating by dir is not the best
190
way to load data from a CHK inventory, so it preloads all the items in
191
the correct order. (With the gcc-tree, this changes it (re)reading 8GB
192
of CHK data, down to just 150MB.) This has noticeable affects for things
193
like building checkouts, etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #737234)
194
195
Bug Fixes
196
*********
197
198
* Bazaar now infers the default user email address on Unix from the local
199
account name plus the contents of ``/etc/mailname`` if that file exists.
200
In particular, this means that committing as root through etckeeper will
201
normally not require running ``bzr whoami`` first.
202
(Martin Pool, #616878)
203
204
* ``bzr merge --preview --pull`` should respect the ``--preview`` option
205
first, and not actually change the branch tip revision.
206
(John Arbash Meinel, Dennis Duchier, #760152)
207
208
* ``bzr push`` into a repository (that doesn't have a branch), will no
209
longer copy all revisions in the repository. Only the ones in the
210
ancestry of the source branch, like it does in all other cases.
211
(John Arbash Meinel, #465517)
212
213
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
214
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
215
(Martin Pool, #733136)
216
217
* Fix "Unable to obtain lock" error when pushing to a bound branch if tags
218
had changed. Bazaar was attempting to open and lock the master branch
219
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)
220
221
* Standalone bzr.exe installation on Windows: user can put additional python
222
libraries into ``site-packages`` subdirectory of the installation directory,
223
this might be required for "installing" extra dependencies for some plugins.
224
(Alexander Belchenko, #743256)
225
226
* When reporting a crash without apport, don't print the full list of
227
plugins because it's often too long.

Testing
237
*******
238
239
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
240
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
241
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
242
has been added in the interim
243
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed
244
in python > 2.7.1). (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)

256
257
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect

259
260
* Correctly resolve text conflicts for files in subdirs.
261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #715058)
262
263
* Fix "AssertionError: repository.user_url ... does not match URL from
264
server response" when reusing a smart transport.
265
(Andrew Bennetts, #726584)
266
267
* Restore proper logging of bytes transferred. We accidentally reset the
268
counter when commands finished before we logged the total transferred.

bzr 2.3.0

#########
273
274
:2.3.0: 2011-02-03
275
276
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we
277
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it
278
until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1
279
and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned
280
to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.)
281
282
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number
283
of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have
284
been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related
285
branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better
286
conflict resolution.
287
288
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
289
known fixed bugs are included here.
290
291
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

295
296
:2.3.b5: 2011-01-13
297
298
This is the fifth and **last** beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
299
release in February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause
300
some incompatibilities with plugins.
301
302
2.3b5 includes bug fixes for committing to stacked branches, smoother upgrades
303
of multiple branches, compatibility with python-2.7, full test suite passing
304
on Ubuntu Natty and windows, less round-trips for several smart server
305
operations, better support text conflicts resolve actions and some more.
306
307
All known fixed bugs in other series (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) are also included here.

*****************************

313
314
Improvements
315
************
316
317
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
318
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
319
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
320
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
321
322
* ``ControlDir.sprout`` no longer opens the target repository more than
323
once. This avoids some unnecessary IO, and removes a network roundtrip
324
when doing ``bzr branch`` to a smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts)
325
326
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
327
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
328
329
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
330
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
331
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
332
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
333
334
* ``bzr tags``'s "sort" argument now allows registering custom sort
335
methods using the ``bzrlib.tag.tag_sort_methods`` registry.
336
(Jelmer Vernooij, #701244)
337
338
* ``bt.test_http`` was breaking ``os.environ`` by erasing the values saved by
339
``TestCase`` leading to ``bt.test_import_tariff`` failures.
340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
341
342
* ``upgrade`` now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is
343
specified. It also supports new options: ``--dry-run`` for showing what
344
will happen and ``--clean`` to remove the backup directory on successful
345
completion. (Ian Clatworthy, Matthew Fuller, #89830, #374734, #422450)
346
347
Bug Fixes
348
*********
349
350
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
351
or undesirable results.
352
353
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
354
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
355
356
* ``bzr break-lock`` on a corrupted lock file works correctly, rather than
357
raising a PermissionDenied error. We were accidentally holding open the
358
file we were trying to delete. (John Arbash Meinel, #659978)
359
360
* ``bzr update`` in a checkout of a readonly branch works again, without
361
trying to set the tags in the master branch. This had been broken by the
362
bug fix for bug #603395. (John Arbash Meinel, #701212)
363
364
* Per-transport tests now prefer to use ``Transport.get_bytes()`` rather
365
than ``Transport.get().read()``. The SFTP code uses an async message to
366
close the file handle if you let the handle die from refcounting, while
367
it uses a synchronous message if you close it directly. This should help
368
prevent random test suite failures from race conditions.
369
(John Arbash Meinel, #681047)
370
371
* Stop using ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile``. It is incompatible with
372
python-2.7 and was only used for Knit format repositories, which haven't
373
been recommended since 2007. The file itself will be removed in the next
374
release. (John Arbash Meinel)
375
376
* The BZR_COLUMNS environment variable can be set to 0 to indicate no
377
limitation on the width of the terminal. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #675652)
378
379
* Treat WSAECONNABORTED the same as WSAECONNRESET for the purposes of
380
considering a smart data stream as being interrupted. This fixes a
381
failure in the windows test suite, that was trying to ensure we cleanly
382
handled a server disconnect. (John Arbash Meinel, #581311, #686587)
383
384
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
385
the directory properly rather than crashing.
386
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
387
388
* You are now able to commit directly to a stacked branch. Any needed
389
parent inventories will be filled in as part of the commit process.
390
(John Arbash Meinel, #375013)
391
392
Documentation
393
*************
394
395
* Better document the rules to update the bzr freshmeat page when
396
doing a release. (Vincent Ladeuil, #690515)
397
398
API Changes
399
***********
400
401
* ``Branch.sprout``, ``BranchFormat.initalize`` and
402
``ControlDir.create_branch`` now take an optional ``repository`` keyword
403
argument, and ``BranchFormat.open`` now takes an optional
404
``found_repository`` keyword argument. These provide the repository
405
object for new branch object to use (for cases when the caller has
406
already opened that repository). Implementations of these APIs will
407
need to be updated to accept these arguments. (Andrew Bennetts)
408
409
* ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile`` is now deprecated and will be removed in
410
the bzr-2.4 series. Code that was using it can just use the python
411
stdlib ``gzip.GzipFile``. (John Arbash Meinel)
412
413
414
Testing
415
*******
416
417
* ``bzrlib.tests`` defines ``isolated_environ`` with the definitions of all
418
the environment variables the tests should care about. It also defines
419
``override_os_environ`` and ``restore_os_environ`` to properly implement
420
isolation from ``os.environ`` for tests. ``bzrlib.tests`` now defines a
421
``DocTestSuite`` class using this facility for all ``bzrlib``
422
doctests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #321320)
423
424
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
425
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
426
427
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
429
430
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
431
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
432
433
* ``TestCase._captureVar`` and ``TestCase._old_env`` have been deleted due to
434
bug #690563. Test writers are encouraged to use ``TestCase.overrideEnv``
435
instead. (Vincent Ladeuil)
436
437
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
438
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)

:2.3.b4: 2010-12-03
444
445
This is the fourth beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0 release in
446
February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
447
incompatibilities with plugins.
448
449
2.3b4 includes bug fixes for the ``config`` command and conflict
450
resolution. More changes were made for the test scripts handling to make it
451
easier to add reproducing recipes to bugs.
452
453
It also includes bug fixes from the 2.2.2 release as well as the bug fixes
454
in the upcoming 2.0.7, 2.1.4 and 2.2.3 releases. This means that all known
455
fixed bugs at the time of this release are included.

************
465
466
* Bazaar now caches a branch's tags while that branch is read-locked.
467
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
468
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
469
470
* ``bzr config <option>`` will now display only the value itself so scripts
471
can use it to query the currently active configuration. Displaying several
472
options matching a given regular expression is now controlled via the
473
``--all`` option. (Vincent Ladeuil, bug #670251)
474
475
* ``bzr resolve`` now reports the number of conflicts resolved and the
476
number of remaining conflicts. This provides a better feedback about the
477
whole resolution process. (Vincent Ladeuil)

493
494

495
interactions with emacs (which tries to establish the status of the file
496
during the commit which breaks on windows). (Vincent Ladeuil, #673637)
497
498
* ``bzr resolve --take-other <file>`` will not crash anymore if ``<file>``
499
is involved in a text conflict (but the conflict is still not
500
resolved). (Vincent Ladeuil, #646961)

Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
532
(Martin Pool, #637830)
533
534
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
535
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
536
written. (Martin [gz])
537

563
(Matthew Gordon, #506730)
564
565
* ``bzr config`` is a new command that displays the configuration options for
566
a given directory. It accepts a glob to match against multiple options at
567
once. It can also be used to set or delete a configuration option in any
568
configuration file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
569
570
* New shortcut URL schemes ``ubuntu:`` and ``debianlp:`` access source
571
branches on Launchpad. E.g. ``bzr branch ubuntu:foo`` gives you the source
572
branch for project ``foo`` in the current distroseries for Ubuntu while
573
``bzr branch debianlp:lenny/foo`` gives you the source branch (on Launchpad)
574
for project ``foo`` in Debian Lenny.

* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
585
586
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
587
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
588
589
* Correctly add directory contents when the name was previously added as a
590
normal file, rather than throwing ``AttributeError: children`` during
591
smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
592
593
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
594
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
595
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
596
the base directory for the other paths. (Vincent Ladeuil, #670851)
597
598
* Correctly set the Content-Type header when HTTP POSTing to comply
599
with stricter web frameworks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #665100)

* Missing files (files bzr add'ed and then OS deleted) are now shown in ``bzr
610
status`` output. (Rory Yorke, #134168)
611
612
* ``NotBranchError`` no longer allows errors from calling
613
``bzrdir.open_repository()`` to propagate. This is unhelpful at best,
614
and at worst can trigger infinite loops in callers. (Andrew Bennetts)
615
616
* The ``branch.tags.merge_to(target_branch)`` API used by plugins such as
617
``bzr-builddeb`` now propagates changes to the master branch of the
618
target branch (if there is one). This makes it consistent with the
619
other tag APIs. (Andrew Bennetts, #603395)

893
894
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
895
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
896
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
897
will be backed up (adding an extension of the form .~#~).
898
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
899
900
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
901
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
902
(Andrew Bennetts)
903
904
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
905
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
906
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
907
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
908
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
909
(John Arbash Meinel)
910
911
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
912
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
913
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
914
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
915
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
916
917
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
918
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
919
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
920
921
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
922
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
923
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
924

* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text when writing to pack
926
repositories.
927
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
928

* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
930
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
931
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
932
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
933
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
934
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)

1018
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
1019
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
1020
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
1021

545
546

556
557
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
558
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
559
marked versioned too.
560
(Martin Pool, #192859)
561
562
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
563
target of the symlink.
564
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
565
566
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
567
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
568
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
569
570
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
571
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
572
573
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
574
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
576
577
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
578
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
579
580
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
581
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
582
583
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
584
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
585
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
586
587
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
588
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
589
(Martin Pool, #192859)
590
591
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
592
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
593
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
594
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
595
596
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
597
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
598
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
599
(Martin [gz], #631350)
600
601
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
602
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
603
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
604
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
605
606
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
607
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
608
609
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
610
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
611
612
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
613
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
614
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
615
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
616
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
617
618
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
619
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
620
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
621
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
622
623
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
624
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
625
(Martin [gz], #254278)
626
627
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
628
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
629
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
630
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
631
632
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
633
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
634
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

657
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to

865
:Codename: La Hulpe
866
:2.2: 2010-08-06
867
868
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
869
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
870
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
871
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
872
supported for another 6 months.)
873
874
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
875
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
876
877
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
878
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
879
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
880
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
881
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
882
readonly operations).
883
884
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
885
886
Compatibility Breaks
887
********************
888
889
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
890
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
891
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
892
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
893
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
894
895
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.

* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
916
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
917
918
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
919
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
920
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
921
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
922
923
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
924
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)

961
962
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
963
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
964
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
965
stable and compatible plugin versions.
966
967
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
968
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
969
appropriately.
970
971
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
972
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
973
bugfixes over 2.2b3.
974
975
Compatibility Breaks
976
********************
977
978
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
979
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
980
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
981
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
982
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
983
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
984
985
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
986
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
987
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
988
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
989
end.
990
991
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
992
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
993
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
1016
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
1017
1018
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
1019
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
1020
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
1021
1022
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
1023
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
1024
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
1025
1026
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
1027
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
1028
1029
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
1030
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1031
1032
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
1033
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1034
1035
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
1036
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
1037
1038
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
1039
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
1040
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
1041
1042
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
1043
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
1044
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
1045
1046
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
1047
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
1048
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
1049
(Robert Collins, #177500)
1050
1051
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
1052
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
1053
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1054
1055
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
1056
1057
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1058
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1059
1060
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
1061
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
1062
1063
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
1064
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
1065
(Martin Pool)
1066
1067
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
1068
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
1069
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
1070
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
1071
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
1072
1073
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
1074
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
1075
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
1076
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
1077
1078
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
1079
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
1080
1081
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
1082
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
1083
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.

Improvements
1087
************
1088
1089
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
1090
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
1091
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
1092
1093
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
1094
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
1095
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
1096
(Robert Collins, #201613)
1097
1098
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
1099
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
1100
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
1101
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
1102
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
1103
1104
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
1105
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
1106
(Martin Pool, #340394)
1107
1108
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
1109
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
1110
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
1111
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
1112

Documentation
1115
*************
1116
1117
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
1118
1119
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
1120
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
1121
development). (Robert Collins)
1122
1123
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
1124
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
1125
1126
API Changes
1127
***********
1128
1129
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
1130
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
1131
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
1132
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
1133
1134
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
1135
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
1136
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
1137
(Robert Collins)
1138
1139
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
1140
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
1141
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1142
1143
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
1144
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
1145
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
1146
(Parth Malwankar)
1147
1148
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
1149
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
1150
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
1151
1152
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
1153
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
1154
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
1155
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
1156
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
1157
1158
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
1159
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
1160
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
1161
1162
Internals
1163
*********
1164
1165
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
1166
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
1167
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
1168
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
1169
(Robert Collins)
1170
1171
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
1172
1173
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
1174
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
1175
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
1176
1177
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
1178
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
1179
(Robert Collins)
1180
1181
Testing
1182
*******
1183
1184
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
1185
to test. (Martin Pool)
1186
1187
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

bzr 2.2b3
1191
#########
1192
1193
:2.2b3: 2010-05-28
1194
1195
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
1196
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
1197
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
1198
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
1199
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
1200
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
1201
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
1202
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
1203
support.
1204
1205
Compatibility Breaks
1206
********************
1207
1208
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
1209
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
1210
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
1211
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
1212
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
1213
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
1214
(Robert Collins)
1215
1216
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
1217
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
1218
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
1219
1220
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
1221
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
1222
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
1223
1224
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
1225
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
1226
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1227
1228
New Features
1229
************
1230
1231
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
1232
``--show-diff``.
1233
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
1234
1235
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
1236
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
1237
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
1238
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
1239
1240
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
1241
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
1242
pack operation.
1243
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
1244
1245
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
1246
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
1247
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1248
1249
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1250
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
1251
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
1252
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
1253
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1254
1255
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
1256
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
1257
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
1258
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1259
1260
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
1261
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
1262
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
1263
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.

1266
Bug Fixes
1267
*********
1268
1269
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
1270
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
1271
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
1272
1273
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
1274
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
1275
better with sudo.
1276
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
1277
1278
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1279
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1280
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1281
1282
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
1283
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
1284
1285
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
1286
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
1287
difference).
1288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
1289
1290
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
1291
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
1292
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
1293
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
1294
(Robert Collins, #583667)
1295
1296
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
1297
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
1298
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
1299
1300
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
1302
1303
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
1304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
1305
1306
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
1307
(Aaron Bentley)
1308
1309
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1310
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1311
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1312
Python.
1313
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1314
1315
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
1316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
1317
1318
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1319
versions before 1.6.
1320
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1321
1322
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
1323
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
1324
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
1325
1326
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1327
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1328
1329
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
1330
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
1331
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
1332
1333
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
1334
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
1335
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
1336
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
1337
1338
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
1339
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
1340
to support this efficiently.
1341
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
1342
1343
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
1344
more comprehensible.
1345
(Martin Pool, #491763)
1346
1347
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1348
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1349
1350
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
1351
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
1352
1353
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
1354
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
1355
messages.
1356
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
1357
1358
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
1359
(Robert Collins, #558343)
1360
1361
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1362
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1363
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1364
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1365
1366
Improvements
1367
************
1368
1369
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
1370
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
1371
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
1372
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
1373
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
1374
(case-sensitive) as false.
1375
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
1376
1377
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
1378
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
1379
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
1380
1381
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
1382
be interpreted as a boolean.
1383
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1384
1385
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
1386
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
1387
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
1388
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
1389
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
1390
1391
API Changes
1392
***********
1393
1394
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
1395
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
1396
(Andrew Bennetts)
1397
1398
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
1399
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
1400
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
1401
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
1402
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
1403
implementations.
1404
(Martin Pool)
1405
1406
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
1407
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
1408
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
1409
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
1410
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
1411
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
1414
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
1415
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
1416
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
1417
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
1418
``refresh_data`` during a write group.

Internals
1422
*********
1423
1424
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
1425
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
1426
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
1427
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
1428
1429
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
1430
(Robert Collins)
1431
1432
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1433
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1434
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1435
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1436
at worst.
1437
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1438
1439
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
1440
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
1441
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
1442
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
1443
1444
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
1445
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.

* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
1452
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
1453
(Robert Collins)
1454
1455
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
1456
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
1457
1458
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
1459
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
1460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
1461
1462
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
1463
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.

bzr 2.1.2
1467
#########
1468
1469
:2.1.2: 2010-05-28
1470
1471
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
1472
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
1473
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
1474
1475
Bug Fixes
1476
*********
1477
1478
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1479
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1480
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1481
1482
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1483
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1484
1485
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1486
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1487
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1488
Python.
1489
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1490
1491
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1492
versions before 1.6.
1493
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1494
1495
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1496
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1497
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1498
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1499
(Andrew Bennetts)
1500
1501
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1502
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1503
1504
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1505
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1506
1507
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1508
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1509
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1510
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1511
1512
Internals
1513
*********
1514
1515
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1516
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1517
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1518
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1519
at worst.

bzr 2.2b2
1524
#########
1525
1526
:2.2b2: 2010-04-16
1527
1528
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
1529
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
1530
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
1531
of these would be welcome.
1532

1534
New Features
1535
************
1536
1537
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
1538
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
1539
1540
Bug Fixes
1541
*********
1542
1543
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
1544
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
1545
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
1546
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
1547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
1548
1549
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
1550
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
1551
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
1552
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
1553
1554
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1555
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1556
1557
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
1558
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
1559
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
1560
1561
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
1562
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
1563
1564
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
1565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
1566
1567
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
1568
(Martin Pool)
1569
1570
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
1571
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
1572
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
1573
1574
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
1575
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
1576
which is not installed any more" error.
1577
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
1578
1579
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1580
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1581
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1582
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1583
(Andrew Bennetts)
1584
1585
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1586
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1587
-rX..Y.
1588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
1589
1590
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
1591
(Martin von Gagern, #387117)
1592
1593
Improvements
1594
************
1595
1596
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1597
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1598
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1599
1600
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1601
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1602
(Andrew Bennetts)
1603
1604
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1605
(Andrew Bennetts)
1606
1607
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1608
(Andrew Bennetts)
1609
1610
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1611
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1612
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1613
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1614
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1615
1616
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1617
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1618
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1619
1620
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
1621
less.)
1622
(Martin Pool, #553017)
1623
1624
API Changes
1625
***********
1626
1627
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
1628
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1629
(Andrew Bennetts)
1630
1631
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
1632
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1633
1634
Internals
1635
*********
1636
1637
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1638
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1639
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1640
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
1641
(Robert Collins)
1642
1643
bzr 2.2b1
1644
#########
1645
1646
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
1647
1648
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1649
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1650
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1651
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1652
1653
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1654
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1655
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1656
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1657
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1658
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1659
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1660
through the 2.2 series.
1661
1662
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1663
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1664
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1665
1666
Compatibility Breaks
1667
********************
1668
1669
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1670
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1671
1672
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1673
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1674
(Martin Pool)
1675
1676
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1677
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1678
1679
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1680
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1681
1682
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1683
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1684
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1685
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1686
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1687
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1688
1689
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1690
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1691
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1692
1693
New Features
1694
************
1695
1696
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1697
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1698
1699
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1700
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1701
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1702
1703
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1704
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1705
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1706
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1707
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1708
1709
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1710
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows.
1711
(Gordon Tyler, #392428)
1712
1713
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1714
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1715
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1716
1717
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1718
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1719
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1720
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1721
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1723
1724
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1725
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1726
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1727
1728
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1729
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1730
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1731
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1732
1733
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1734
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
1735
1736
Bug Fixes
1737
*********
1738
1739
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1740
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1741
1742
* Allow additional arguments to
1743
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1744
1745
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1746
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1747
1748
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1749
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1750
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1751
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1752
1753
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1755
1756
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1757
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1758
1759
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1760
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1761
1762
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1763
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1764
1765
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1766
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1767
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1768
1769
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1770
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1771
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1772
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1773
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1774
1775
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1776
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1778
1779
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1780
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1781
1782
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1783
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1785
1786
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1787
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1788
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1789
1790
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1791
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1792
``add``.
1793
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1794
1795
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1796
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1797
1798
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1799
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1800
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1801
1802
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1803
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1805
1806
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1808
1809
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1810
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1812
1813
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1814
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1815
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1816
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1817
``sock.sendall``).
1818
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1819
1820
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1821
deletion is involved.
1822
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1823
1824
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1825
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1826
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1827
1828
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1829
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1830
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1831
1832
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1833
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1834
1835
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1836
the debugger won't kill the session.
1837
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1838
1839
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1840
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1841
1842
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1843
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1844
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1845
1846
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.

API Changes
1850
***********
1851
1852
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to

``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1854
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1855
1856
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1857
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1858
1859
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1860
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1861
1862
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1863
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1864
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1865
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1866
1867
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1868
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1869
to be done separately.
1870
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1871
1872
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1873
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1874
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1875
1876
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1877
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1878
1879
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1880

* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1892
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1895

* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1899
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1900
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1901
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1902
(Robert Collins)
1903
1904
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1905
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1906
1907
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1908
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1909
1910
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1911
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.

1917
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1918
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1919
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1922
(Robert Collins)
1923
1924
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1925
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1926
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1927
1928
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1929
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1930
dependency regressions.
1931
(Martin Pool)
1932
1933
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1934
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1935
1936
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1937
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1938
1939
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1940
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1941
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1942
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1943
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1944
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

Bug Fixes
1955
*********
1956
1957
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1958
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1959
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1960
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1961
1962
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1963
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1964
1965
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)

* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1969
1970
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1971
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1972
1973
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1974
1975
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1976
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1977
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1978
1979
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1980
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1981
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1982
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1983
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1984
1985
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1986
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1987
1988
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1989
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.

2026
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2027
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2028
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2029
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2030
another process already removed the file.
2031
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2032
2033
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
2034
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2035
a lock.
2036
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2037
2038
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2039
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2040
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2041
repositories.
2042
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)

2044
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
2045
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
2046
2047
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
2048
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
2049
``UnboundLocalError``.
2050
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)

* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
2053
version number along with rest of the help text.
2054
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
2055

:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
2075
2076
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
2077
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
2078
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
2079
2080
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
2081
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
2082
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
2083
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
2084
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
2085
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
2086
2087
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
2096
(Martin Pool, #513432)
2097
2098
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
2099
when it encounters conflicts.
2100
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
2101
2102
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
2103
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
2104
2105
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
2106
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
2107
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
2108
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
2109
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
2110
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
2111
2112
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
2113
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
2114
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

API Changes
2123
***********
2124
2125
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2126
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2127
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2128
2129
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
2130
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
2131
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2132
2133
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2134
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2135
2136
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
2137
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
2138
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
2139
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
2140
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
2141
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
2142
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
2143
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
2144
2145
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
2146
regressions.

Internals
2150
*********
2151
2152
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
2153
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
2154
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
2155
in ``do_merge``.

2161
* The ``remove_index`` method of

``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
2163
argument. This argument was always ignored.

This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
2173
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
2174
2175
API Changes
2176
***********
2177
2178
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
2179
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
2180
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
2181
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
2182
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
2183
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
2192
2193
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
2194
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
2195
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
2196
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
2197
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
2198
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
2199
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
2200
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
2201
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

New Features
2205
************
2206
2207
* Add bug information to log output when available.
2208
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
2209
2210
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
2211
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
2212
particular files.
2213
2214
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
2215
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
2216
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
2217
(Andrew Bennetts)
2218
2219
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
2220
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
2221
2222
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
2223
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
2224
2225
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
2226
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
2227
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
2228
2229
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
2230
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
2231
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
2232
Martin Pool, #45719)
2233
2234
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
2235
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
2236
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
2237
2238
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
2239
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
2240
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
2241
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
2242
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
2243
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
2244
2245
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
2246
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
2247
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
2248
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.

2253
2254
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
2255
user-specified commit message editor.
2256
(Martin Pool, #504842)
2257
2258
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
2259
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
2260
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
2261
2262
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
2263
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
2264
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
2265
2266
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
2267
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
2268
2269
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2270
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2271
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2272
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2273
another process already removed the file.
2274
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2275
2276
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
2277
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
2278
2279
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
2280
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
2281
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
2282
2283
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
2284
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
2285
2286
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
2287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
2288
2289
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
2290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
2291
2292
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
2293
(Martin Pool, #320035)
2294
2295
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
2296
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
2297
depended on this behaviour.
2298
(Martin Pool, #499757)
2299
2300
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
2301
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
2302
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
2303
should appear up-to-date.)

Improvements
2307
************
2308
2309
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
2310
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
2311
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
2312
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
2313
2314
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
2315
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
2316
2317
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
2318
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
2319
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2320
2321
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
2322
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
2323
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2324
2325
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
2326
(__monty__, #257170)
2327
2328
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
2329
Bazaar is doing network IO.

API Changes

***********
2360
2361
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
2362
(Andrew Bennetts)
2363
2364
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
2365
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
2366
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
2367
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
2368
2369
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
2370
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
2371
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
2372
2373
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
2374
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
2377
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
2378
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
2379
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
2380
2381
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
2382
parameter.
2383
2384
Internals
2385
*********
2386
2387
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
2388
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
2389
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2390
2391
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
2392
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
2393
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
2394
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
2395
2396
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
2397
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2398
2399
Testing
2400
*******
2401
2402
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
2403
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
2404
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
2405
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
2406
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2407
2408
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
2409
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
2410
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
2411
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
2412
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
2413
suite. (Robert Collins)
2414
2415
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
2416
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
2417
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2418
2419
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
2420
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

2425
2426
:Codename: smooth sailing
2427
:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
2428
2429
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2430
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2431
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2432
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2433
2434
2435
Bug Fixes
2436
*********
2437
2438
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2439
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2440
2441
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2442
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2443
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2444
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2445
2446
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2447
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2448
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2449
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2450
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2451
2452
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2453
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2454
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2455
2456
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2457
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2458
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2459
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2460
2461
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2462
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2463
2464
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2465
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2466
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2467
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2468
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2469
2470
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2471
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2472
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2473
users, rather than something nicer.
2474
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2475
2476
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2477
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2478
2479
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2480
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2481
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2482
2483
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2484
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2485
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2486
2487
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2488
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2489
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2490
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2491
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2492
2493
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2494
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2495
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2496
2497
Testing
2498
*******
2499
2500
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2501
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2502
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2503
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2513
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2514
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2515
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2516
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
2517
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
2521
********************
2522
2523
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2524
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2525
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2526
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2527
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2528
2529
New Features
2530
************
2531
2532
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2533
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2534
2535
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2536
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2537
2538
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2539
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2540
2541
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2542
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2543
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2544
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2545
lengths.
2546
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2547
2548
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2549
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2550
is installed.

Bug Fixes
2555
*********
2556
2557
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2558
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2559
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2560
2561
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2562
and issues a warning.
2563
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2564
2565
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2566
2567
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2568
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2569
2570
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2571
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2572
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2573
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2574
2575
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2576
2577
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
2578
(Robert Collins, #84659)
2579
2580
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)

* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
2583
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
2584
2585
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2586
2587
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2588
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2589
2590
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2591
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2592
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2593
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2594
windows too.
2595
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
2596
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2597
2598
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2599
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2600
2601
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2602
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2603
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2604
2605
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2606
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2607
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2608
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2609
2610
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2611
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2612
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2613
2614
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2615
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2616
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2617
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2618
2619
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2620
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2630
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2631
2632
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2633
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2634
(John Arbash Meinel)
2635
2636
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
2637
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2638
Hudson)
2639
2640
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2641
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2642
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2643
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2644
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

***********
2654
2655

2656
2657
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
2658
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
2659
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.

*********
2664
2665
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2666
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2667
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2668
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2669
2670
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2671
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2672
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2673
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2674
(John Arbash Meinel)
2675
2676
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2677
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2678
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2679
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2680
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2681
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: after sprint recovery
2723
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2724
2725
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2726
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2727
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2728
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2729
2730
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2731
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2732

2733
formats for Remote objects.

2752
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2753
2754
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2755
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2756
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2757
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2758
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2759
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2760
2761
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2762
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2763
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2764
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2765
2766
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2767
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2768
2769
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2770
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2771
2772
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2773
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2774
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2775
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2776
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2777
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2778
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2779
2780
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2781

2792

2794

* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
2801
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
2802
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)

2807
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2808
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2809
2810
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2811
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2812
2813
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2814
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2815
2816
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2817
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2818
2819
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2820
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2821
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2822
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2823
2824
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2825
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2826
2827
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2828
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2829
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2830
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2831
2832
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2833
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2834
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2835
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

2842
:Codename: a load off my mind
2843
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2844
2845
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2846
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2847
2848
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2849
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2850
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2851
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2852
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2853
many operations.
2854
2855
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2856
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2857
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2858
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2859
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2860
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
2861
2862
Bug Fixes
2863
*********
2864
2865
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2866
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2867
2868
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2869
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2870
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2871
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2872
2873
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2874
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2875
2876
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2877
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2878
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2879
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2880
2881
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2882
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2883
2884
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2885
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2886
2887
Improvements
2888
************
2889
2890
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2891
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2892
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2893
(John Arbash Meinel)
2894
2895
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2896
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)

API Changes
2906
***********
2907
2908
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2909
2910
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2911
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2912
(Martin Pool)
2913
2914
Internals
2915
*********
2916
2917
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2918
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2919
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2920
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2921
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2922
(John Arbash Meinel)
2923
2924
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2925
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2926
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2927
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2928
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2929
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2930
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2931
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2932
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2933
2934
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2935
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2936
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2937
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2938
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2939
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2940
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2941
2942
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2943
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2944
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2945
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
3000
3001
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
3002
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
3003
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
3004
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
3005
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
3006
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
3007
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
3008
3009
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
3010
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
3011
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
3012
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
3016
************
3017
3018
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
3019
(Brian de Alwis)
3020
3021
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
3022
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
3023
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
3024
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
3025
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
3026
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
3027
3028
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
3029
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
3030
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
3031
3032
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
3033
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
3034
method.
3035
3036
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
3037
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
3038
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
3039
3040
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
3041
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
3042
(Arkanes)
3043
3044
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
3045
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
3049
*********
3050
3051
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3052
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3053
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3054
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3055
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3056
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3057
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3058
3059
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3060
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3061
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3062
3063
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3064
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
3065
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
3066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
3067
3068
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
3069
merges are present in the working tree.
3070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
3071
3072
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3073
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3074
3075
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
3076
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
3077
3078
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
3079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
3080
3081
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
3082
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
3083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
3084
3085
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3086
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3087
3088
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
3089
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
3090
3091
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
3092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
3093
3094
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
3095
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.

3102
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
3103
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
3104
3105
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
3106
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
3107
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
3108
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
3109
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
3110
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

3113
3114
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
3115
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
3116
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
3117
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

***********
3130
3131
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
3132
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3133
3134
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
3135
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
3136
3137
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
3138
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
3139
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
3140
3141
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
3142
(Martin Pool)
3143
3144
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
3145
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
3146
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
3147
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
3148
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
3149
been deprecated.
3150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)

3159
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
3160
(Andrew Bennetts)
3161
3162
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
3163
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
3164
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
3165
(John Arbash Meinel)
3166
3167
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
3168
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
3169
(Robert Collins)
3170
3171
Testing
3172
*******
3173
3174
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
3175
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
3176
3177
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
3178
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
3179
3180
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
3181
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
3182
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3183
3184
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
3185
a long time.
3186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
3187
3188
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
3189
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
3190
3191
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
3192
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
3193
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3194
3195
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
3196
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
3197
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
3198
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
3199
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
3200
3201
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
3202
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
3203
3204
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
3205
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)

3236
3237
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
3238
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always

* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform

object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions

directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
3254
3255
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
3256
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
3257
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
3258
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
3259
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
3260
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
3261
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)

3263
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
3264
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3265
3266

3267
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
3268
to download the entire cix file many times.

3288
3289
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
3290
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
3291
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
3292
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
3293
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
3294
existing projects.)
3295
3296
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
3297
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
3298
3299
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3300
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
3301
months or until the following stable release.

3303
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
3304
******************************
3305
3306
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
3307
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
3308
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
3309
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.

3324
Bug Fixes
3325
*********
3326
3327
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3328
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3329
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3330
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3331
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3332
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3333
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3334
3335
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
3336
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
3337
(Robert Collins, #416732)
3338
3339
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
3340
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
3341
3342
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
3343
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
3344
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3345
3346
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3347
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3348
3349
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
3350
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
3351
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
3352
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
3353
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
3354
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
3355
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
3356
3357
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
3358
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
3359
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
3360
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
3361
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
3362
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
3363
3364
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
3365
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
3366
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3367
3368
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
3369
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
3370
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3371
3372
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
3373
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
3374
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
3375
3376
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3377
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3378
3379
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
3380
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
3381
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

3391
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
3392
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3393
3394
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
3395
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
3396
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
3397
3398
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
3399
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
3400
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
3413
********************
3414
3415
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3416
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3417
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3418
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3419
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
3420
3421
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
3422

3436
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3437
3438
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3439
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3440
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3441
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3442
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3443

3445
raised by newer versions of pycurl.

3455
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3456
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3457
3458
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3459
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3460
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

3468
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3469
3470
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3471
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3472
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3473
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3474
``bazaar.conf``.
3475

* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3481
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3482
3483
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3484
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3485
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3486
3487
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3488
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3489
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3490
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3491
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3492
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)

* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3576
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3577
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3591
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3592
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3593
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3594
3595
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK

3597
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)

* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3600

3601
3602
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3603

3613
3614
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3615
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3616
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3617
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to

* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3621
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For

This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3676
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3677
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3678

3679
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3680
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.

users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3713
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3714
3715
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3716
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3717
3718
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3719
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3720
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3721
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3722
3723
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3724
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3725
3726
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3727
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3728
3729
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3730
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3731
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3732
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3733
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3734
3735
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3736
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3737
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3738
3739
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3740
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3741
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3742
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3743
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3744
3745
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3746
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3747
3748
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3749
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3750
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3751
3752
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3753
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3754
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3755
3756
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3757
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3758
3759
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3760
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3761
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3762
3763
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3764
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3765
3766
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3767
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3768
3769
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3770
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3771
3772
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3773
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3774
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3775
3776
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3777
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3778
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3779
3780
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3781
3782
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3783
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3784
3785
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3786
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3787
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3788
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3789
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3790
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3791
3792
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3793
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3794
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3795
3796
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3797
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3798
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3799
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3800
3801
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3802
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3803
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3804
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3805
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3806
3807
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3808
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3809
(Robert Collins, #187207)

************
3813
3814
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3815
(Marius Kruger)
3816
3817
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3818
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3819
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3820
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3821
3822
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3823
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

API Changes
3832
***********
3833
3834
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3835
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3836
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3837
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3838
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3839
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3840
3841
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3842
(Aaron Bentley)
3843
3844
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3845
(Martin Pool)
3846
3847
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3848
UIFactory.
3849
(Martin Pool)
3850
3851
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3852
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3853
3854
Internals
3855
*********
3856
3857
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3858
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3859
paths. (Robert Collins)
3860
3861
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3862
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3863
3864
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3865
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3866
disk. (Robert Collins)
3867
3868
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3869
it. (Robert Collins)
3870
3871
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3872
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.

3881
3882
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3883
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3884
3885
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3886
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3887
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3888
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3889
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3890
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3912
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3913
stable".
3914
3915
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3916
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3917
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3918
annoying progress bar artifacts.

Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3922
*********************************
3923
3924
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3925
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3926
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3927
3928
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3929
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3930
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3931

3936
Compatibility Breaks
3937
********************
3938
3939
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3940
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3941
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.

New Features
3946
************
3947
3948
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3949
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3950
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3951
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3952
3953
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3954
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3955
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3956
3957
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3958
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3959
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3960
behavior.
3961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3962
3963
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3964
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3965
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3966
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
3970
*********
3971
3972
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3973
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3974
3975
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3976
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3977
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3978
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3979
3980
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3981
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3982
3983
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3984
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3985
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3986
3987
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3988
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3989
3990
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3991
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3992
3993
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3994
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3995
3996
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3997
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3998
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3999
4000
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
4001
(Ian Clatworthy)
4002
4003
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
4004
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
4005
4006
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
4007
of a remote repository.
4008
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
4009
4010
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
4011
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
4012
(Andrew Bennetts)
4013
4014
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
4015
transforms.
4016
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
4017
4018
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
4019
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
4020
4021
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
4022
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
4023
4024
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
4025
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
4026
(Martin Pool, #339385)
4027
4028
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
4029
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
4030
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
4031
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
4032
(John Arbash Meinel)
4033
4034
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
4035
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
4036
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
4037
4038
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
4039
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
4040
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
4041
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
4042
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
4043
(Robert Collins, #376243)
4044
4045
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
4046
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
4047
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
4048
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
4049
activity display respectively.
4050
(Martin Pool, #340347)
4051
4052
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
4053
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
4054
4055
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
4056
(Martin Pool)
4057
4058
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.

4063
*********
4064
4065
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
4066
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
4067
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
4068
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
4069
4070
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
4071
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
4072
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
4073
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
4074
(Robert Collins)
4075
4076
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
4077
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
4078
4079
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
4080
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
4081
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
4082
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
4083
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
4084
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4085
4086
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
4087
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
4088
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
4089
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
4090
4091
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
4092
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
4093
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
4094
(John Arbash Meinel)
4095
4096
4097
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
4098
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
4099
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
4100
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
4101
4102
4103
Improvements
4104
************
4105
4106
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
4107
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
4108
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
4109
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4110
4111
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
4112
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
4113
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
4114
4115
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
4116
(Benoît PIERRE)
4117
4118
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
4119
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
4120
4121
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
4122
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
4123
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4124
4125
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
4126
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
4127
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
4128
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
4129
4130
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
4131

4139
4140
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.

4146
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
4147
(Martin Pool)
4148
4149
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
4150
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
4151
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
4160
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
4161
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
4162
intermittently.

The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
4165
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
4166
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
4167
4168
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
4169
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.

Bug Fixes
4172
*********
4173
4174
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
4175
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4176
4177
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
4178
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
4179
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
4180
4181
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
4182
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
4183
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
4184
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
4185
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
4186
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
4187
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4188
4189
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
4190
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
4191
converted data. (Robert Collins)
4192
4193
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
4194
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
4195
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
4196
4197
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
4198
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
4199
that. (Robert Collins)
4200
4201
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
4202
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
4203
repository. (Robert Collins)
4204
4205
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
4206
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
4207
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
4208
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
4249
************
4250
4251
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
4252
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
4253
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
4254
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
4255
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
4256
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
4257
in bzr 2.0.
4258
4259
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
4260
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
4261
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
4262
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
4263
4264
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
4265
and more concisely repacks the full history.
4266
4267
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
4268
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
4269
4270
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
4271
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
4272
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
4273
4274
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
4275
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
4276

Improvements
4278
************
4279
4280
4281
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
4282
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
4283
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4284
4285
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
4286
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
4287
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
4288
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
4289
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
4290
4291
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
4292
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
4293
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
4294
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
4295
4296
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
4297
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
4298
* diff (2X faster)
4299
* tags (70X faster)
4300
4301
(Ian Clatworthy)
4302
4303
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
4304
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
4305
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

*********
4311
4312
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
4313
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
4314
4315
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
4316
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
4317
4318
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
4319
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
4320
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
4321
4322
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
4323
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
4324
4325
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
4326
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
4327
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
4328
4329
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
4330
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
4331
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
4332
(John Arbash Meinel)
4333
4334
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
4335
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
4336
4337
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
4338
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
4339
4340
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
4341
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
4342
4343
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
4344
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
4345
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
4346
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
4347
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
4348
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
4349
bug-free) methods.
4350
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
4351
4352
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
4353
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
4354
4355
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
4356
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
4357
4358
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
4359
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
4360
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
4361
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
4362
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
4363
4364
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4365
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4366
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4367
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
4460
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
4461
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new

4534
4535
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4536
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4537
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4538
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4539
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4540
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4541
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4542
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4543
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4544
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4545
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4546
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4547
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4548
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)

4551

* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4585
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4586
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4587
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4588
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4589
4590
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4591
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4592
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)

* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4595
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4596
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4597
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)

4600
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4601
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)

alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4617
4618
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4619
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4620
branches. (Robert Collins)
4621
4622
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4623
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4624
4625
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4626
4627
Testing
4628
*******
4629
4630
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4631
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4682
********************
4683
4684
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4685
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4686
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4687
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4688
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4689
4690
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4691
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4692
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4693
4694
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4695
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4696
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4697
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4698
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4699
4700
New Features
4701
************
4702
4703
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4704
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4705
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4706
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4707
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4708
(Ian Clatworthy)
4709
4710
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4711
(Aaron Bentley)
4712
4713
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4714
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4715
4716
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4717
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4718
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4719
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4720
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4721
4722
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4723
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4724
4725
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4726
(Aaron bentley)
4727
4728
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4729
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4730
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4731
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4732
(Ian Clatworthy)
4733
4734
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4735
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4736
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4737
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4738
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4739
4740
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4741
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4742
(Ian Clatworthy)
4743
4744
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4745
(Aaron Bentley)
4746
4747
Improvements
4748
************
4749
4750
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4751
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4752
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4753
4754
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4755
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4756
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4757
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4758
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4759
4760
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4761
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4762
(Ian Clatworthy)
4763
4764
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4765
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4766
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4767
4768
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4769
(Ian Clatworthy)
4770
4771
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4772
(Ian Clatworthy)
4773
4774
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4775
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4776
4777
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4778
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4779
4780
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4781
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4782
4783
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4784
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4785
#294479)
4786
4787
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4788
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4789
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4790
4791
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4792
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4793
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4794
(Ian Clatworthy)
4795
4796
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4797
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4798
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4799
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4800
4801
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4802
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4803
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4804
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4805
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4806
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4807
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4808
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4809
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4810
4811
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
4812

Bug Fixes
4815
*********
4816
4817
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4818
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4819
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4820
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4821
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4822
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4823
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4824
4825
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4826
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4827
4828
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4829
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4830
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4831
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4832
4833
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4834
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4835
4836
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4837
4838
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4839
#313028)
4840
4841
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4842
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4843
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4844
4845
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4846
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4847
4848
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4849
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4850
4851
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4852
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4853
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4854
4855
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4856
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4857
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4858
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4859
4860
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4861
4862
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4864
4865
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4866
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4867
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4868
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4869
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4870
4871
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4872
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4873
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4874
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4875
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4876
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4877
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4878
4879
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4880
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4881
4882
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4883
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4884
(Andrea Bolognani)
4885
4886
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4887
(James Westby, #341558)
4888
4889
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4890
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4891
4892
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4893
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4894
4895
Documentation
4896
*************
4897
4898
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4899
4900
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4901
4902
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

4905
API Changes
4906
***********
4907
4908
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4909
(Martin Pool)
4910
4911
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4912
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4913
(Robert Collins)
4914
4915
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4916
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4917
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4918
4919
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4920
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4921
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4922
4923
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4924
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4925
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4926
4927
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4928
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4929
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4930
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4931
(Ian Clatworthy)
4932
4933
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4934
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4935
(Jean-Francois Roy)
4936
4937
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4938
(Martin Pool)
4939
4940
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4941
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4942
4943
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4944
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4945
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4946
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4947
4948
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4949
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4950
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4951
4952
Testing
4953
*******
4954
4955
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4956
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4957
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4958
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4959
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4960
4961
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4963
4964
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4965
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4966
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4967
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4968
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4969
4970
Internals
4971
*********
4972
4973
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4974
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4975
4976
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4977
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4978
4979
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4980
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4981
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4982
4983
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4984
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4985
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4986
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4987
4988
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4989
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4990
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4991
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4992
4993
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4994
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4995
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4996
4997
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4998
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4999
dependency. (Robert Collins)
5000
5001
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
5002
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
5003
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5004
5005
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
5006
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
5007
(Robert Collins)
5008
5009
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
5010
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
5011
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
5012
5013
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
5014
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5015
5016
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
5017
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
5018
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5019
5020
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
5021
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
5022
(Jelmer Vernooij)
5023
5024
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
5025
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
5026
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5027
5028
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
5029
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
5030
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
5031
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
5032
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
5033
5034
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
5035
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
5036
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
5037
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5038
5039
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
5040
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
5041
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
5042
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5043
5044
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
5045
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
5046
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5047
5048
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
5049
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
5050
(Andrew Bennetts)
5051
5052
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
5053
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
5054
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
5055
5056
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
5057
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
5058
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
5059
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
5060
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
5061
5062
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
5063
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
5064
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
5065
Vincent Ladeuil)
5066
5067
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
5068
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
5069
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
5070
desired. (Robert Collins)
5071
5072
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
5073
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
5074
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
5075
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5076
5077
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
5078
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
5079
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
5096
*****************************
5097
5098
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
5099
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
5100
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
5101
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
5102
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
5103
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
5104
appeared now.

New Features
5153
************
5154
5155
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
5156
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
5157
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
5158
5159
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
5160
(Martin Pool)
5161
5162
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
5163
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
5164
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
5165
(Ian Clatworthy)
5166
5167
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
5168
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
5169
5170
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
5171
(John Arbash Meinel)
5172
5173
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
5174
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
5175
5176
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
5177
5178
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
5179
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
5180
(Jonathan Lange)
5181
5182
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
5183
(Jonathan Lange)
5184
5185
Improvements
5186
************
5187
5188
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
5189
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
5190
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
5191
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
5192
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
5193
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
5194
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
5195
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
5196
(Robert Collins)
5197
5198
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
5199
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
5200
5201
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
5202
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
5203
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
5204
5205
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
5206
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
5207
5208
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
5209
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
5210
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
5211
(Ian Clatworthy)
5212
5213
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
5214
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
5215
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5216
5217
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
5218
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
5219
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
5220
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5221
5222
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
5223
(Jelmer Vernooij)
5224
5225
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
5226
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
5227
5228
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
5229
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
5230
5231
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
5232
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
5233
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
5234
5235
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
5236
5237
Bug Fixes
5238
*********
5239
5240
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
5241
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
5242
5243
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
5244
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
5245
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
5246
5247
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
5248
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
5249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
5250
5251
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
5252
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
5253
5254
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
5255
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
5256
Vernooij, #315048)
5257
5258
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
5259
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
5260
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
5261
5262
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
5263
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
5264
5265
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
5266
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
5267
5268
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
5269
(James Westby, #174539)
5270
5271
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
5272
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
5273
5274
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
5275
error branching from old repositories.
5276
(Martin Pool, #321695)
5277
5278
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
5279
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
5280
5281
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
5282
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
5283
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
5284
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5285
5286
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
5287
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
5288
#334808)
5289
5290
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
5291
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
5292
5293
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
5294
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
5295
5296
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
5297
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
5298
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5299
5300
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
5301
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
5302
5303
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.

5311
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
5312
(Ian Clatworthy)
5313
5314
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
5315

5316
5317
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
5321
***********
5322
5323
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
5324
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
5325
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
5326
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
5327
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
5328
5329
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
5330
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5331
5332
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
5333
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
5334
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
5335
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
5336
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
5337
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
5338
5339
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
5340
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
5341
5342
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
5343
"author" argument being deprecated.
5344
5345
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
5346
5347
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
5348
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
5349
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
5350
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
5351
5352
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
5353
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
5354
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
5355
5356
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
5357
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
5358
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
5359
5360
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
5361
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
5362
5363
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
5364
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
5365
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
5366
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
5367
5368
Internals
5369
*********
5370
5371
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
5372
free of virtual file system methods.
5373
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5374
5375
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
5376
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
5377
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
5378
5379
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
5380
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
5381
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
5382
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
5383
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
5384
(Robert Collins, #334187)
5385
5386
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
5387
5388
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
5389
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
5390
5391
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5392
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5393
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5394
stream the operation.
5395
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5396
5397
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5398
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5399
5400
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5401
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5402
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5403
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5404
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5405
5406
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5407
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5408
5409
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5410
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5411
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5412
5413
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5414
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5415
(Robert Collins)
5416
5417
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5418
(Robert Collins)
5419
5420
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5421
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5422
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5423
5424
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5425
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5426
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5427
5428
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5429
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5430
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5431
5432
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5433
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5434
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5435
5436
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5437
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5438
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5439
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5440
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5441
5442
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5443
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5444
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5445
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5446
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5447
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5448
5449
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5450
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5451
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5452
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5453
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5454
5455
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5456
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5457
5458
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5459
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5460
5461
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5462
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5463
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5464
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5465
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5466
5467
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5468
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5480
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5481
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5482

Compatibility Breaks
5495
********************
5496
5497
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5498
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5499
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5500
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5501
5502
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5503
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5504
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5505
(Ian Clatworthy)
5506
5507
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5508
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5509
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.

* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5513
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5514
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.

New Features
5520
************
5521
5522
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5523
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5524
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5525
(Marius Kruger)
5526
5527
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5528
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5529
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5530
5531
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5532
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5533
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5534
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5535
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5536
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5537
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5538
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5539
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.

************
5544
5545
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5546
(Daniel Watkins)
5547
5548
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5549
(Marius Kruger)
5550
5551
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5552
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5553
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5554
5555
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5556
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5557
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5558
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5559
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5560
5561
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5562
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5563
5564
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5565
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5566
level for better precision.
5567
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5568
5569
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5570
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5571
5572
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5573
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5574
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5575
5576
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5577
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5578
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5579
(Andrew Bennetts)
5580
5581
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5582
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5583
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)

5589
anymore.
5590
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5591
5592
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5593
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5594
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5595
5596
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5597
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5598
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5599
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5600
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5601
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5602
5603
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5604
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5605
5606
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5607
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5608
5609
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5610
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5611
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5612
5613
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5614
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5615
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5616
(Andrew Bennetts)
5617
5618
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5619
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5620
5621
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5622
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5623
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5624
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5625
5626
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5627
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5628
handled.

5653
5654
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5655
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5656
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5657
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5658

5667
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5668
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5669
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5670
compile buffers, are such an example).
5671
(Vincent Ladeuil)

``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5675
(Ian Clatworthy)
5676
5677
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and

5679
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5680
(Ian Clatworthy)
5681

* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5683
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)

5695
5696
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5697
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5698
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5699
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5700
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5701
5702
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5703
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5704
advice.
5705
5706
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5707
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5730
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5731
5732
New Features
5733
************
5734
5735
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5736
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5737
5738
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5739
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5740
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5741
implement other plugins.
5742
(Vincent Ladeuil)

5748
************
5749
5750
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5751
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5752
5753
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5754
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5755
5756
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5757
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5758
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5759
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5760
(Mark Hammond)
5761
5762
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5763
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5764
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5765
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5766
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5767
5768
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5769
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5770
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5771
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5772
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5781
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5784
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5785
5786
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5787
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5788
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)

started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5813
5814

5816
in the appropriate sections.
5817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)

used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5866
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5867
5868
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5869
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5870
5871
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5872
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5873
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5874
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5875
5876
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5877
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5878
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5879
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)

5885
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5886
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5887
5888
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5889
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5890
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5891
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5892
5893
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5894
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending

5902
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5903
(John Arbash Meinel)
5904
5905
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5906
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5907
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5908
(John Arbash Meinel)
5909
5910
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5911
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5912
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5913
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5914
5915
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5916
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5917
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5918
5919
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5920
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5921
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5922
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5923
5924
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5925
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5926
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5927
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5928
(John Arbash Meinel)
5929
5930
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5931
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5932
5933
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5934
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5935
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5936
5937
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5938
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5939
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5940
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5941
5942
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5943
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5944
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5945
(John Arbash Meinel)
5946
5947
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5948
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5949
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5950
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5951
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5952
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5953
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5954
5955
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5956
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5978
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5979
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5980
5981
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5982
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5983
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5984
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5985
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

5993
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5994
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5995
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5996
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5997
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features
6000
************
6001
6002
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
6003
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6004
6005
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
6009
************
6010
6011
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
6012
history just to set the last revision info.
6013
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6014
6015
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
6016
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
6017
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
6018
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6019
6020
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
6021
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
6022
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
6023
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
6024
(John Arbash Meinel)
6025
6026
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
6027
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6028
6029
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
6030
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
6031
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
6032
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
6033
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
6034
6035
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
6036
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
6037
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
6038
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
6039

Bug Fixes
6041
*********
6042
6043
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
6044
(Martin Pool, #289148)
6045
6046
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
6047
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
6048
6049
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
6050
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
6051
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
6052
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
6053
6054
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
6055
starting with a dotted revno.
6056
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
6057
6058
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
6059
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
6060
(Martin Pool, #288751)
6061
6062
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
6063
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
6064
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6065
6066
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
6067
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
6068
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
6069
6070
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
6071
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
6072
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
6073
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
6074
6075
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
6076
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
6077
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
6078
6079
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
6080
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
6081
6082
API Changes
6083
***********
6084
6085
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
6086
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
6087
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
6088
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
6089
6090
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
6091
have changed incompatibly.
6092
6093
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
6094
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
6095
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
6096
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
6097
don't need to change.
6098
6099
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
6100
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
6101
6102
Testing
6103
*******
6104
6105
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
6106
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
6107
6108
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)

6114
:Released: 2008-11-07
6115
6116
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
6117
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
6118
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
6119
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
6120
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
6121
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
6122
6123
Bug Fixes
6124
*********
6125
6126
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
6127
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
6128
6129
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
6130
6131
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
6132
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

New Features
6142
************
6143
6144
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
6145
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
6146
6147
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
6148
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
6149
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
6150
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
6151
6152
Improvements
6153
************
6154
6155
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
6156
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
6157
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
6158
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
6159
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
6160
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
6161
6162
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
6163
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6164
6165
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
6166
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
6167
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
6168
6169
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
6170
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
6171
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
6172
(Andrew Bennetts)
6173
6174
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
6175
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
6176
6177
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
6178
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
6179
6180
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
6181
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
6182
6183
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
6184
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
6185
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
6186
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
6187
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
6188
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
6189
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
6190
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
6191
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
6192
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6193
6194
Bug Fixes
6195
*********
6196
6197
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
6198
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
6199
6200
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
6201
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
6202
6203
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
6204
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
6205
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
6206
6207
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
6208
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
6209
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
6210
6211
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
6212
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
6213
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
6214
6215
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
6216
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
6217
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
6218
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
6219
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
6220
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
6221
6222
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
6223
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
6224
6225
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
6226
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
6227
6228
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
6229
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
6230
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
6231
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
6232
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6233
6234
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6235
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6236
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

6263
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The

Changes
6286
*******
6287
6288
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
6289
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
6290
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
6291
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
6292
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
6293
6294
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
6295
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
6296
6297
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
6298
server. (Marius Kruger)
6299
6300
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
6301
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
6302
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
6303
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
6304
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
6305
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

************
6318
6319
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
6320
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
6321
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
6322
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
6323
6324
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
6325
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
6326
(Daniel Watkins)
6327
6328
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
6329
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

6331
6332

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
6341
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
6342
6343
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
6344
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
6345
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
6346
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
6347
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
6348
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
6349
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
6350
operations. (Robert Collins)
6351
6352
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
6353

* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
6355

'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
6399
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)

6597
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6598
6599
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6600
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6601
(Marius Kruger)
6602
6603
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6604
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6605
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6606
(John Arbash Meinel)
6607
6608
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6609
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6610
6611
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6612
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6613
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6614
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6615
(John Arbash Meinel)
6616
6617
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6618
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6619
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6620
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6621
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6622
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6623
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6624
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6625
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6626
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

6634
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6635
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6636
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6637
6638
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6639
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6640
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6641
6642
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6643
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6644
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6645
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6646
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6647
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6648
6649
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6650
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6651
6652
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6653
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6654
6655
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6656
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6657
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6658
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6659
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6660
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #255204)
6661
6662
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6663
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6664
6665
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6666
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6667
6668
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6669
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6670
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6671
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6672
6673
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6674
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6675
6676
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6677
assuming the host name is ascii.

(Robert Collins)
6732
6733
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6734
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6735
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6736
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6737
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

6740
is unknown in both source and target.
6741
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6742
6743
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6744
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6745
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6746
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6747
6748
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6749
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6750
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6751
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

6781
:Released: 2008-08-29
6782
6783
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6784
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6785
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6786
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6787
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6788
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6789
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6790
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6791
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6792
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6793
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6794
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

6796
Bug Fixes
6797
*********
6798
6799
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6800
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6801
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6802
start of the string (causing more copies).
6803
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6804
especially for projects with large files.
6805
(John Arbash Meinel)
6806
6807
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6808
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6809
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6810
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6811
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6812
6813
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6814
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6815
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6816
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6817
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6828
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6829

6830
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6831
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6832
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6833
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle

* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6932
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6933
6934
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6935
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6936
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6937
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6938
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6939
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

##########
6944
6945
:Released: 2008-08-06
6946
6947
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6948
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6949
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6950
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6951
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6952
6953
Changes
6954
*******
6955
6956
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6957
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6958
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6959
6960
Improvements
6961
************
6962
6963
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6964
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6965
6966
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6967
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6968
6969
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6970
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6971
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6972
6973
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6974
(James Westby)
6975
6976
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6977
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6978
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6979
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6980
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6981
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6982
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6983
6984
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6985
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6986
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6987
6988
Bug Fixes
6989
*********
6990
6991
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6992
physical repository boundaries.
6993
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6994
6995
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6996
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6997
6998
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6999
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
7000
(Martin Pool)
7001
7002
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
7003
(Ian Clatworthy)
7004
7005
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
7006
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
7007
that Python is running from.
7008
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
7009
7010
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
7011
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
7012
(Robert Collins, #150438)
7013
7014
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
7015
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
7016
7017
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
7018
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
7019
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
7020
7021
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
7022
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
7023
7024
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
7025
(James Westby, #248448)
7026
7027
API Changes
7028
***********
7029
7030
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
7031
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
7032
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
7033
(Robert Collins)
7034
7035
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
7036
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
7037
(Robert Collins)
7038
7039
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
7040
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
7041
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
7042
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
7043
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
7044
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
7045
(Robert Collins)
7046
7047
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
7048
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7049
7050
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
7051
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
7052
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
7053
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
7054
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
7055
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
7056
7057
Internals
7058
*********
7059
7060
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
7061
putting together a real history without having to create a full
7062
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
7063
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
7064
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
7065
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7066
7067
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
7068
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
7069
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
7070
7071
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
7072
(Ian Clatworthy)
7073
7074
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
7075
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
7076
7077
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

7082
############
7083
7084
:Released: 2008-07-17
7085
7086
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
7087
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
7088
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
7089
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
7090
bug fixes.
7091
7092
Features
7093
********
7094
7095
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
7096
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
7097
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
7098
7099
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
7100
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
7101
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
7102
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
7103
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
7104
(Ian Clatworthy)
7105
7106
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
7107
7108
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
7109
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
7110
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
7111
(Robert Collins)
7112
7113
Improvements
7114
************
7115
7116
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
7117
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
7118
(Martin Pool)
7119
7120
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
7121
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
7122
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
7123
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
7124
7125
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
7126
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
7127
(Christophe Troestler)
7128
7129
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
7130
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
7131
7132
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
7133
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
7134
faster. The new request method name is
7135
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7136
7137
Bug Fixes
7138
*********
7139
7140
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
7141
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
7142
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
7143
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
7144
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
7145
7146
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
7147
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
7148
7149
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
7150
requires a branch to be present.
7151
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
7152
7153
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
7154
loaded.
7155
(Martin Pool, #205230)
7156
7157
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
7158
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
7159
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
7160
(Martin Pool, #240161)
7161
7162
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
7163
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
7164
7165
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
7166
name contains an @.
7167
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
7168
7169
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
7170
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
7171
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
7172
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
7173
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
7174
7175
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
7176
(Martin Pool, #172870)
7177
7178
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
7179
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
7180
7181
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
7182
Cygwin Bazaar.
7183
(Matt McClure, #209281)
7184
7185
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
7186
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
7187
7188
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.

*******
7202
7203
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
7204
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
7205
7206
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
7207
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
7208
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
7209
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
7210
7211
API Changes
7212
***********
7213
7214
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
7215
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
7216
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
7217
Repository docstring for more details.
7218
(Robert Collins)
7219
7220
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
7221
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
7222
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
7223
7224
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
7225
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
7226
(Daniel Watkins)
7227
7228
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
7229
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
7230
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
7231
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
7232
7233
Internals
7234
*********
7235
7236
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
7237
(Alexander Belchenko)
7238
7239
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
7240
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
7241
containing a given location.
7242
(Daniel Watkins)
7243
7244
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
7245
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
7246
storage. (Robert Collins)
7247
7248
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
7249
(Robert Collins)
7250
7251
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
7252
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow

Bug Fixes
7267
*********
7268
7269
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
7270
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
7271
reading from the repository.)
7272
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
7273
7274
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7275
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7276
7277
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
7278
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
7279
(Andrew Bennetts)
7280
7281
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
7282
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
7283
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
7284
7285
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
7286
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
7287
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
7288
7289
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
7290
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
7291
7292
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
7293
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
7294
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
7303
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and

tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7327
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7328
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
7348
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
7349
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
7350
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
7351
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
7352
and future extensions.

7355
Notes When Upgrading
7356
********************
7357
7358
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
7359
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
7360
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
7361
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
7362
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
7363
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
7364
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

7381
************
7382
7383
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
7384
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
7385
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
7386
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7387
7388
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
7389
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
7390
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7391
7392
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7393
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7394
7395
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7396
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7397
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7398
7399
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7400
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7401
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7402
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7403
step closer to not using full revision history.

ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
7411
7412
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7413
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7414
7415
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
7416
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
7417
7418
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
7419
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
7420
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
7421
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
7422
7423
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
7424
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
7425
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
7426
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
7427
7428
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
7429
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
7430
in use by another process.
7431
(Martin Pool)
7432
7433
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
7434
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
7435
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
7436
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
7437
7438
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
7439
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
7440
7441
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
7442
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
7443
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
7444

7446
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
7447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
7448
7449
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
7450
them.
7451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
7452
7453
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
7454
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
7455
7456
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
7457
under vim on Mac OS X.
7458
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7459
7460

* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
7495
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
7496
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
7497
(John Arbash Meinel)

7499
API Changes
7500
***********
7501
7502
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7503
instead. (Martin Pool)
7504
7505
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7506
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7507
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7508
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7509
7510
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7511
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7512
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7513
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7514
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7515
7516
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7517
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7518
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7519
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7520
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7521
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7522
7523
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7524
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7525
(Martin Pool)
7526
7527
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7528
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7529
(Robert Collins)
7530
7531
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7532
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7533
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7534
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7535
7536
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7537
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7538
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7539
7540
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7541
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7542
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7543
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7544
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7545
(Martin Pool)
7546
7547
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7548
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7549
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7550
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7551
(Robert Collins)
7552
7553
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7554
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7555
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7556
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7557
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7558
7559
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

7619
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
7620
7621
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
7622
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
7623
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
7624
7625
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request

7653
7654
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7655
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
7656
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

7668
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
7669
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
7670

7715
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7716
7717

This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and

* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
7819

7820
7821
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
7822
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
7823
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
7824
7825
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
7826
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
7827
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
7828
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
7829
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7830
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,

7844
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large

7860
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7861
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)

* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7864
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7865
7866
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7867
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7868
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,

* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7872
(Chad Miller)
7873
7874
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7875
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7876
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7877
7878
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7879
(Aaron Bentley)
7880
7881
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7882
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7883
7884
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7885
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7886
7887
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7888
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7889
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7890
7891
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7892
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7893
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7894
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7895
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7896
7897
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7898
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7899
7900
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7901
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)

Bugfixes
7904
********
7905
7906
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7907
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7908
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7909
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7910
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7911
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7912
7913
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7914
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7915
7916
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7917
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7918
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7919
7920
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7921
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7922
7923
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7924
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7925
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7926
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7927
7928
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7929
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7930
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7931
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7932
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7933
7934
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7935
7936
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7937
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7938
7939
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7940
7941
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7942
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7943
7944
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

7961
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7962
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7963
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7964
7965
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7966
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7967
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7968
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7969
7970
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7971
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7972
release. (James Westby)
7973
7974
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7975
(Andrew Bennetts)

* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7978
7979
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7980
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7981
7982
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7983
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)

7985
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7986
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7987
7988
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7989
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7990
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7991
7992
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7993
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7994
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7995
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7996
7997
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7998
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7999
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
8000
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
8001
8002
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
8003
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
8004
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
8005
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
8006
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
8007
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
8008
8009
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
8010
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
8011
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
8012
8013
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
8014
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8015
8016
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
8017
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
8018
(Robert Collins)
8019
8020
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
8021
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
8022
8023
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
8024
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
8025
8026
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
8027
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
8028
8029
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
8030
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
8031
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
8032
8033
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
8034
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
8035
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
8036
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
8037
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
8038
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
8039
8040
Testing
8041
*******
8042
8043
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
8044
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
8045
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
8046
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
8047
8048
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
8049
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
8050
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
8051
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
8052
implement this).
8053
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8054
8055

8056
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
8057
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8058
8059
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's

8066

(Martin Albisetti)
8075
8076
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
8077
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
8078
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
8079
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
8080
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
8081
(Martin Pool, #109520)
8082
8083
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
8084
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
8085
8086
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
8087
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
8088
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
8089

8091
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
8092
implementations (Aaron Bentley)

8149
8150
Changes
8151
*******
8152
8153
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
8154
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
8155
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
8156
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
8157
(Robert Collins)
8158
8159
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
8160
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
8161
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
8162
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
8163
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
8164
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
8165
8166
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
8167
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
8168
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.

8187
************
8188
8189
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
8190
8191
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8192
8193
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
8194
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
8195
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
8196
8197
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
8198
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
8199
8200
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
8201
to. (Daniel Watkins)
8202
8203
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
8204
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
8205
(Alexander Belchenko)
8206
8207
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
8208
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
8209
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
8210
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
8211
8212
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
8213
(Daniel Watkins)
8214
8215
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
8216
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
8217
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
8218
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
8219
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

8226
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
8227
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

8357
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
8358
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
8359
8360
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
8361
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
8362
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
8363
8364
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
8365
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
8366
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
8367
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
8368
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
8369
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.

8374
8375
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
8376
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8377
8378
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
8379
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
8380
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
8381
(Robert Collins)
8382
8383
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
8384
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
8385
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
8386
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
8387
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
8388
8389
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
8390
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
8391
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8392
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8393
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8394
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8395
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8396
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

************
8400
8401
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8402
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8403
8404
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8405
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8406
8407
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8408
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8409
8410
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8411
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8412
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8413
8414
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8415
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

8419
********
8420
8421
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8422
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8423
8424
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8425
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8426
8427
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8428
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8429
8430
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8431
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8432
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8433
8434
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8435
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8436
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8437
8438
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8439
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8440
8441
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8442
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8443
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8444
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8445
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8446
unittest runner.
8447
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8448
8449
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8450
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8451
#185907)
8452
8453
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8454
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8455
8456
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8457
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8458
8459
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8461
8462
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8463
more characters which should be considered valid.
8464
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8465
8466
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8467
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8468
8469
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8470
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)

API Breaks
8473
**********
8474
8475
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8476
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8477
8478
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8479
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8480
(Martin Pool)
8481
8482
Testing
8483
*******
8484
8485
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8486
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8487

Internals
8490
*********
8491
8492
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8493
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8494
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8495
8496
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8497
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8498
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8499
8500
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8501
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8502
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8503
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8504
8505
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8506
8507
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8508
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8509
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8510
server. (Robert Collins)
8511
8512
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8513
operate. (Robert Collins)
8514
8515
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8516
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8517
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8518
8519
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8520
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8521
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8522
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8523
8524
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8525
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8526
8527
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8528
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8529
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8530
8531
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8532
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8533
8534
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8535
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8536
8537
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8538
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8539
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8540
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

8556
*******
8557
8558
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8559
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8560
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8561
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8562
8563
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8564
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
8565
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
8566
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
8567

8583
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
8584
#90049)
8585
8586
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8587
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
8588
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8589
8590
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8591
8592
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8593
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8594
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8595
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8596
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8597
8598
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8599
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8600
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
8601
8602
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
8603
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
8604
8605

8650
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.

(Aaron Bentley)
8652
8653

8857
8858
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
8859
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
8860
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
8861
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
8862
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
8863
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
8864
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
8865
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
8866
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

Notes When Upgrading
8910
********************
8911
8912
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8913
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8914
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8915
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8916
8917
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8918
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8919
8920
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8921
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8922
8923
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8924
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8925
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8926
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8927
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8928
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8929
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8930
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8931
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8932
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8933
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8934
from any tree without problems.

8941
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8942
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8943
8944
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8945

8953
supported transports.
8954
(Vincent Ladeuil)

8965
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
8966

***********
8973
8974
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8975
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8976
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8977
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8978
8979
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8980
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8981
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8982
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)

8984
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8985

9205
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
9206
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
9207
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
9208
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
9209
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
9210
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
9211
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
9212
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
9213
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
9214
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
9215
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
9216
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

9228
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that

revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
9254
9255
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
9256
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
9257
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
9258
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
9259
9260
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
9261
(Robert Collins)

9263
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
9264
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
9265

9266

9323
9324
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
9325
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
9326
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
9327
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
9328
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
9329
9330
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
9331
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
9332
paramiko.
9333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
9334
9335
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9336
9337
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
9338
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
9339
9340
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
9341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
9342
9343
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
9344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
9345
9346
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
9347
contains a symbolic link.
9348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
9349
9350
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
9351
(James Westby, #140615)
9352
9353
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
9354
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
9355
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
9356
9357
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
9358
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
9359
(Martin Pool, #144633)
9360
9361
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
9362
9363
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
9364
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
9365
9366
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
9367
will remain opened.
9368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
9369
9370
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
9371
directory to detect leaking tests.
9372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
9373
9374
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
9375
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
9376
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
9377
9378
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
9379
(Rob Weir, #141629)
9380
9381
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
9382
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
9383
9384
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
9385

9386
9387
API Breaks
9388
**********
9389
9390
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
9391
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
9392
9393
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9394
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
9395
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9396
9397
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9398
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9399
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
9400
9401
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
9402
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
9403
9404
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
9405
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
9406
9407
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
9408
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
9409
(Martin Pool)
9410
9411
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
9412
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
9413
9414
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
9415
class that needs it.
9416
(Martin Pool)
9417
9418
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9419
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9420
9421
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9422
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9423
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9424
9425
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
9426
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
9427
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9428
(Robert Collins)
9429
9430
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9431
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9432
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9433
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9434
(Robert Collins)
9435
9436
Internals
9437
*********
9438
9439
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9440
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9441
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9442
9443
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9444
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9445
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9446
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9447
9448
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9449
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9450
(Robert Collins)
9451
9452
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9453
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9454
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9455
9456
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9457
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9458
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9459
9460
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9461
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9462
9463
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9464
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9465
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9466
9467
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9468
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9469
9470
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9471
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9472
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9473
9474
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9475
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9476
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9477
9478
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9479
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9480
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9481
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9482
9483
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9484
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9485
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9486
returned. (Robert Collins)
9487
9488
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9489
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9490
9491
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9492
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9493
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9494
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9495
(Robert Collins)
9496
9497
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9498
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9499
9500
Testing
9501
*******
9502
9503
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9504
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9505
9506
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9507
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9508
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9509
makes this behavior available to other users.
9510
(Martin Pool)
9511
9512
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9513
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

9529
9530
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with

Changes
9555
*******
9556
9557
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9558
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9559
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9560
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9561
(Martin Pool)
9562
9563
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9564
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9565
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9566
(Ian Clatworthy)
9567
9568
Features
9569
********
9570
9571
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9572
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9573
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9574
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9575
9576
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9577
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9578
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9579
9580
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9581
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9582
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9583
9584
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9585
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9586
9587
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9588
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9589
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9590
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9591
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9592
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9593
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9594
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9595
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9596
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9597
9598
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9599
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9600
9601
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9602
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9603
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9604
9605
Bug Fixes
9606
*********
9607
9608
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9609
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9610
9611
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9612
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9613
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9614
9615
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9616
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9617
9618
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9619
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9620
9621
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9622
(Aaron Bentley)
9623
9624
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9625
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9626
9627
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9628
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9629
9630
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9631
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9632
9633
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9634
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9635
9636
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9637
9638
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9639
Watkins, #106726)
9640
9641
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9642
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9643
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9644
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9645
9646
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9647
9648
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9649
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9650
#133548)
9651
9652
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9653
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9654
9655
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9656
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9657
#116143)
9658
9659
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9660
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9661
9662
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9663
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9664
9665
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9666
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9667
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9668
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9669
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9670
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9671
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9672
9673
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9674
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9675
9676
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9677
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9678
9679
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9680
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9681
9682
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9684
9685
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9686
connections.
9687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9688
9689
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9690
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9691
9692
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9693
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9694
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9695
9696
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9697
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
9701
************
9702
9703
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9704
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9705
9706
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9707
(Aaron Bentley)
9708
9709
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9710
(Aaron Bentley)
9711
9712
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9713
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9714
9715
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9716
9717
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9718
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9719
9720
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9721
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9722
9723
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9724
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9725
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9726
space). (Robert Collins)
9727
9728
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9729
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9730
(Ian Clatworthy)
9731
9732
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9733
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9734
9735
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9736
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9737
9738
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9739
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9740
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9741
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9742
9743
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9744
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9745
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9746
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9747
9748
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9749
(Ian Clatworthy)
9750
9751
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9752
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9753
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9754
9755
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9756
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9757
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9758
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9759
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)

API Breaks
9762
**********
9763
9764
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9765
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9766
9767
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9768
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9769
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9770
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9771
affected. (Robert Collins)
9772
9773
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9774
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9775
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9776
(Robert Collins)
9777

9785
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
9786
9787
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9788
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9789
9790
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9791
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9792
9793
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9794
(Aaron Bentley)
9795
9796
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9797
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)

Internals
9800
*********
9801
9802
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9803
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9804
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9805
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9806
9807
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9808
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9809
9810
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9811
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9812
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9813
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9814
9815
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9816
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9817
present. (Robert Collins)
9818
9819
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9820
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9821
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9822
API. (Robert Collins)
9823
9824
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9825
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9826
(Robert Collins)
9827
9828
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9829
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9830
9831
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9832
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9833
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9834
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9835
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9836
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9837
9838
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9839
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9840
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9841
9842
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9843
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9844
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9845
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9846
protocol.
9847
9848
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9849
(Aaron Bentley)
9850
9851
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9852
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9853
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9854
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9855
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9856
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9857
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9858
9859
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9860
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9861
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9862
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9863
9864
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9865
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9866
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9867
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9868
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9869
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9870
9871
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9872
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9873
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9874
9875
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9876
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

***********
9899
9900
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``

9902
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

Bugfixes
9911
********
9912
9913
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9914
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9915
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9916
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9917
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9918
9919
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9921
9922
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9923
anymore.
9924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9925
9926
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9927
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9928
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9929
9930
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9931
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9932
#111664)
9933
9934
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9935
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9936
9937
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9938
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9939
9940
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9941
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9942
9943
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9944
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9945
9946
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9947
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9948
9949
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9950
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)

************
9957
9958
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9959
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9960
9961
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9962
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9963
9964
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9965
the repository (Robert Collins)
9966
9967
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9968
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9969
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9970
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9971
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9972
9973
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9974
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9975
9976
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9977
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9978
(John Arbash Meinel)
9979
9980
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9981
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9982
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9983
about 10%).
9984
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9985
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9986
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9987
(John Arbash Meinel)
9988
9989
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9990
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9991
(Robert Collins)
9992
9993
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9994
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9995
9996
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9997
(Ian Clatworthy)
9998
9999
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
10000
10001
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
10002
10003
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
10004
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
10005
10006
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
10007
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
10008
Meinel)
10009
10010
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
10011
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
10012
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
10013
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10014
10015
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
10016
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
10017
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
10018
10019
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
10020
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
10021
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
10022
10023
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
10024
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
10025
10026
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
10027
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
10028
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
10029
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
10030
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
10031
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
10032
(Ian Clatworthy)
10033
10034
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
10035
(Alexander Belchenko)
10036
10037
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
10038
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
10039
10040
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
10041
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
10042
10043
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

Library API Breaks
10049
******************
10050
10051
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
10052
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
10053
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
10054
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
10055
10056
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
10057
10058
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
10059
(Robert Collins)
10060
10061
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
10062
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
10063
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
10064
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
10065
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
10066
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
10067
10068
Internals
10069
*********
10070
10071
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
10072
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
10073
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
10074
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
10075
10076
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
10077
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
10078
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
10079
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
10080
tests have been refactored too.
10081
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10082
10083
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
10084
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
10085
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
10086
list, it will.
10087
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10088
10089
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
10090
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
10091
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
10092
10093
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
10094
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
10095
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
10096
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
10097
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
10098
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
10099
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
10100
10101
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
10102
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
10103
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
10104
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
10105
(John Arbash Meinel)
10106
10107
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
10108
functionality for testing.
10109
10110
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
10111
10112
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
10113
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10114
10115
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
10116
10117
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
10118
(Robert Collins)
10119
10120
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
10121
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
10122
10123
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
10124
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
10125
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
10126
10127
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
10128
(Aaron Bentley)
10129
10130
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
10131
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
10132
10133
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
10134
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
10135
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
10136
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
10137
10138
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
10139
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
10140
10141
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
10142
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
10143
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
10144
10145
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
10146
(Marius Kruger)
10147
10148
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
10149
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
10150
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
10151
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
10152
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
10153
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
10154
10155
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
10156
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
10157
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
10158
many files. (Robert Collins)
10159
10160
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
10161
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
10162
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
10163
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
10164
10165
Testing
10166
*******
10167
10168
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
10169
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
10170
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
10171
10172
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
10173
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
10174
10175
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
10176
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
10177
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

10246
10247
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
10248
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
10249
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
10250
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
10251
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
10252
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
10253
10254
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
10255
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
10256
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
10257
10258
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
10259
(Elliot Murphy)
10260
10261
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
10262
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
10263
10264
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
10265
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
10266
10267
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
10268
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
10269
10270
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
10271
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
10272
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
10273
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
10274
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
10275
10276
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
10277
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
10278
10279
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
10280
can be slow it is useful feedback).
10281

* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
10287
10288

10289
output. (Aaron Bentley)
10290

* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
10292
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
10293

10294
10295
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
10296

10297
10298
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
10299
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
10300
10301
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
10302
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
10303

10335
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
10336
(Robert Collins)
10337
10338
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
10339
10340
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
10341
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
10342
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
10343
10344
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
10345
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
10346
10347
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
10348
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10349
10350
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
10351
10352
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
10353
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
10354
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
10355
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
10356
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
10357
same location. (Robert Collins)
10358

Internals
10360
*********
10361
10362
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
10363
10364
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
10365
10366
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
10367
10368
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
10369
(Martin Pool)
10370
10371
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
10372
(Martin Pool)
10373
10374
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
10375
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
10376
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
10377
10378
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
10379
10380
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
10381
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
10382
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
10383
10384
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
10385
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
10386
10387
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
10388
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
10389
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
10390
10391
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10392
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10393
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10394
10395
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
10396
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
10397
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
10398
10399
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
10400
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
10401
Martin Pool)
10402
10403
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
10404
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
10405
10406
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
10407
(Alexander Belchenko)
10408
10409
Testing
10410
*******
10411
10412
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10413
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10414
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10415
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10416
10417
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10418
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10419
testing. (Robert Collins)
10420
10421
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10422
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10423
10424
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10425
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10426
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10427
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10428
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10429
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10430
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10431
10432
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10433
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10434
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10435
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10436
10437
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10438
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10439
10440
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10441
avoid useless cloning.

********************
10467
10468
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10469
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10470
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10471
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10472
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10473
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10474
and unlock() like so::
10475
10476
work_tree.lock_read()
10477

10484
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10485
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10486
object.
10487
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10488
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10489
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10490
10491

10492

10493
too. (Robert Collins)

************
10497
10498

10499
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10500
Aaron Bentley)
10501
10502
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10503
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10504
10505
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10506
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10507
10508
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10509
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10510
understanding what changes have occurred
10511
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10512
10513
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10514
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10515
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10516
10517
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10518
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10519
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10520
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10634
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option

10676
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10677
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10678
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10679
10680
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10681
(Robert Collins)
10682
10683
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10684
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10685
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10686
(Robert Collins)
10687
10688
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10689
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10690
10691
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10692
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10693
10694
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10695
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10696
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10697
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10698
(Robert Collins)
10699
10700
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10701
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10702
10703
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10704
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10705
10706
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10707
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10708
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10709
10710
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10711
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10712
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10713
10714
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10715
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10716
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10717
10718
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10719
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10720
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10721
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10722
10723
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10724
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10725
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10726
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10727
10728
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10729
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10730
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10731
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10732
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10733
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10734
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10735
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10736
header(s).

10742
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10743
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10744
10745
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10746
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10747
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10748
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10749
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10750
10751
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10752
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10753
10754
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10755
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10756
10757
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10758
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10759
10760
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10761
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10762
10763
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10764
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10765
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10766
(Robert Collins).
10767
10768
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10769
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10770
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10771
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10772
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10773
(Robert Collins)
10774
10775
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10776
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10777
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10778
10779
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10780
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10781
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10782
10783
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10784
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10785
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10786
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10787
10788
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10789
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10790
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10791
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10792
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10793
10794
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10795
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10796
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10797
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10798
10799
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10800
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10801
10802
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10803
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10804
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10805
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10806
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10807
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10808
10809
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10810
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10811
10812
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10813
help. (Robert Collins)
10814
10815
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10816
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10817
10818
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10819
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10820
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10821
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10822
(John Arbash Meinel)
10823
10824
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10825
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10826
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10827
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10828
useful. (Robert Collins)
10829
10830
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

10856
10857
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10858
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10859
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10860
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10861
10862
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10863

in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).

10899
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10900

* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10902
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10903
10904
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10905
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10906
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10907
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10908
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10909
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10910
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10911
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10912
10913
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10914
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10915
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10916
10917
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10918
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10919
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10920
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10921
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10922
access.

10962
10963
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10964
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10965
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10966
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10967
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10968
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10969
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10970
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

11090
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
11091
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
11092
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
11093
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
11094
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
11095
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
11096
11097
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
11098
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
11099
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
11100
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
11101
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
11102

its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
11109
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
11110
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
11111
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
11112
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
11113
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

Improvements
11116
************
11117
11118
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
11119
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
11120
11121
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
11122
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
11123
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
11124
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
11125
does exist.
11126
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
11127
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
11128
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
11129
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
11130
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
11131
11132
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
11133
(Aaron Bentley)
11134
11135
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
11136
(Aaron Bentley)
11137
11138
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
11139
(Robert Collins)
11140
11141
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
11142
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
11143
(Aaron Bentley)
11144
11145
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
11146
(Aaron Bentley)
11147
11148
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
11149
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
11150
11151
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
11152
directory. (Martin Pool)
11153
11154
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
11155
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
11156
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
11157
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
11158
11159
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
11160
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
11161
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
11162
in docs/configuration.txt.
11163
11164
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
11165
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
11166
bind location.
11167
11168
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
11169
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
11170
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
11171
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
11172
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
11173
repositories. (Martin Pool)
11174
11175
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
11176
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11177
11178
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
11179
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
11180
11181
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
11182

Internals
11185
*********
11186
11187
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
11188
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
11189
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
11190
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
11191
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
11192
(John Arbash Meinel)
11193
11194
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
11195
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
11196
(Aaron Bentley)
11197
11198
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
11199
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
11200
(John Arbash Meinel)
11201
11202
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
11203
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
11204
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
11205
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
11206
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
11207
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
11208
11209
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
11210
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
11211
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
11212
11213
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
11214
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
11215
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
11216
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
11217
repository.
11218
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11219
11220
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
11221
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
11222
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
11223
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
11224
11225
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
11226
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
11227
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
11228
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
11229
11230
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
11231
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
11232
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
11233
11234
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
11235
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
11236
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
11237
11238
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
11239
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
11240
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
11241
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
11242
11243
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
11244
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
11245
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
11246
11247
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
11248
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
11249
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
11250
11251
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
11252
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
11253
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
11254
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
11255
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
11256
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
11257
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
11258
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
11259
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

11268
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
11269
11270
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
11271
(Aaron Bentley)
11272
11273
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
11274
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
11275
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
11276

11344
11345
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
11346
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
11347
server, then you can write over the http connection.
11348
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11349
11350
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
11351
(Marius Kruger)
11352
11353
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
11354
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
11355
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
11356

11361
(Aaron Bentley)
11362
11363
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
11364
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
11365
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
11366
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
11367
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
11368
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
11369
11370
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
11371
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
11372
should enable you to do::
11373
11374
[/home/user/project]
11375
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
11376
push_location:policy = appendpath
11377
11378
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
11379
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
11380
(James Henstridge)
11381
11382
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags

11411
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
11412
11413

* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11435
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
11436
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
11454
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
11455
11456
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
11457

11552
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11553
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11554
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)

11560
11561
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11562
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11563
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11564

11568
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11569
11570
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11571
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11572
them as full references rather than integers.

* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11587

11590
11591
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11592

11593
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)

* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11631
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11632
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11633
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11634

For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11637
11638
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11639
11640
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11641
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11642

* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11646
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11647

11667
11668

* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
11711

11712
11713
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11714
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11715
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
11716
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)

* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
11719
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)

11774
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11775
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11776
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11777
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11778
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11779
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s

* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11792
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11793
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.

11795
11796
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand

11798
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11897
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11898
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11899
11900
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11901
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11902
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11903
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11904
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11905
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11906
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11907
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11908
caller to repeat their request.
11909
(John Arbash Meinel)
11910

* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11912
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11913
11914
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11915
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11916
11917
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11918
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11919
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11920
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11921
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11922
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11923
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11924
11925
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11926
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11927
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11928
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11929
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11930
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11931
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11932
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11933
(Robert Collins)
11934
11935
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11936

will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11976
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11977
11978
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11979
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11980
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11981
11982
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11983
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11984
11985
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11986
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

Bug Fixes
11990
*********
11991
11992
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11993
11994
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11995
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11996
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11997
11998
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11999
12000
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
12001
12002
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
12003
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
12004
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
12005
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
12006
12007
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
12008
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
12009
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
12010
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
12011
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
12012
12013
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
12014
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
12015
12016
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
12017
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
12018
12019
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
12020
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
12021
12022
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
12023
in handling of revision properties.
12024
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
12025
12026
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
12027
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
12028
12029
Internals
12030
*********
12031
12032
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
12033
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
12034
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
12035
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
12036
(John Arbash Meinel)
12037
12038
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
12039
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
12040
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
12048
*********
12049
12050
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
12051
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
12052
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
12053
specific one '.bzrignore'.
12054
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
12055
a more conservative list than the old default.
12056
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
12057
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
12058
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
12059
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
12060
12061
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
12062
to more locations than just branch locations.
12063

Improvements
12066
************
12067
12068
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
12069
revno:N:branch. For example,
12070
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
12071
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
12072
12073
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
12074
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
12075
the path of a file that has been versioned.
12076
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
12077
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
12078
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
12079
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
12080
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
12081
#42517, #42514)
12082
12083
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
12084
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
12085
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
12086
(Malone #3507)
12087
12088
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
12089
(Alexander Belchenko)
12090
12091
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
12092
12093
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
12094
(Robert Collins).
12095
12096
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
12097
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
12098
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
12099
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
12100
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
12101
(John Arbash Meinel)
12102
12103
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
12104
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
12105
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
12106
grained analysis of performance.
12107
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12108
12109
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
12110
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
12111
12112
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
12113
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
12114
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
12115
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
12116
file. (Robert Collins).
12117
12118
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
12119
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
12120
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
12121
12122
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
12123
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
12124
Matthieu Moy)
12125
12126
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
12127
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
12128
12129
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
12130
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
12131
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
12132
the same way you would apply another branch.
12133
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
12134
12135
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
12136
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
12137
12138
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
12139
(Michael Ellerman)
12140
12141
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
12142
(Aaron Bentley)
12143
12144
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
12145
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
12146
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
12147
12148
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
12149
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
12150
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
12151
12152
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
12153
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
12154
12155
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
12156
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
12157
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
12158
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
12159
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
12160
12161
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
12162
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
12163
12164
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
12165
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
12166
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
12167
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
12168
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
12169
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
12170
branch is as much as 4x faster.
12171
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
12172
12173
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
12174
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
12175
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

12181
tests not to run.
12182
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
12183
12184
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
12185
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12186
12187
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
12188
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
12189
12190
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
12191
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
12192
12193
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
12194
12195
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
12196
(John Arbash Meinel)
12197
12198
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
12199
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
12200
12201
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
12202
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
12203
and y.
12204
12205
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
12206
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
12207
12208
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
12209
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
12210
12211
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
12212
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
12213
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
12214
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
12215
12216
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
12217

12219
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)

* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
12222
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
12223

12226
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
12227

12229
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
12230
12231
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
12232
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
12233
12234
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
12235
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
12236
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
12237
12238
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
12239
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
12240
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
12241
12242
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
12243
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
12244
12245
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
12246
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
12247
12248
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
12249
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
12250
12251
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
12252
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
12253
12254
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
12255
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
12256
12257
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
12258
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
12259
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
12260
12261
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
12262

12270
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
12271
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
12272
12273
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
12274
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
12275
12276
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
12277
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
12278
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12279
12280
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
12281
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12282
12283
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
12284
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
12285
(Martin Pool)
12286
12287
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
12288
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
12289
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12290
12291
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
12292
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
12293
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12294
12295
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
12296
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
12297
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
12298

Notes When Upgrading
12384
********************
12385
12386
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
12387
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
12388
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
12389
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
12390
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
12391
will keep the same format.
12392
12393
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12394
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12395
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12396
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12397
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12398
12399
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12400
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12401
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12402
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12403
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12404
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12405
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12406
12407
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12408
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12409
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12410
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12411
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12412
12413
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12414
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12415
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12416
arrangement.

Improvements
12420
************
12421
12422
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12423
convention. Paths now take the form::
12424
12425
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12426
or
12427
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12428
12429
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12430
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12431
12432
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12433
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12434
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12435
12436
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12437
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12438
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12439
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12440
12441
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12442
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12443
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12444
12445
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12446
12447
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12448
12449
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12450
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12451
commits::
12452
12453
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12454
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12455
| xargs bzr re-sign
12456
12457
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12458
12459
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12460
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12461
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12462
(Robert Collins)
12463
12464
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12465
12466
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12467
12468
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12469
'.moved'.
12470
12471
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12472
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12473
12474
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12475
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12476
Daniel Silverstone)
12477
12478
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12479
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12480
Martin Pool)
12481
12482
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12483
12484
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12485
12486
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12487
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12488
12489
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12490
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12491
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12492
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12493
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12494
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12495
12496
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12497
12498
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12499
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12500
(Robert Collins)
12501
12502
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12503
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12504
12505
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12506
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12507
12508
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12509
12510
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12511
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12512
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12513
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12514
specification by Martin Pool.
12515
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12516
12517
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12518
Belchenko)
12519
12520
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12521
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12522
12523
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12524
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12525
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12526
12527
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12528
12529
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12530
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12531
(Robert Collins)
12532
12533
Changes
12534
*******
12535
12536
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12537
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12538
12539
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12540
12541
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12542
12543
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12544
(Olaf Conradi)
12545
12546
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12547
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12548
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12549
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12550
12551
Internals
12552
*********
12553
12554
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12555
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12556
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12557
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12558
12559
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12560
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12561
tried. (Martin Pool)
12562
12563
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12564
(Martin Pool)
12565
12566
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12567
12568
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12569
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12570
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12571
12572
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12573
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12574
12575
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12576
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12577
paths. (Robert Collins)
12578
12579
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12580
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12581
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12582
12583
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12584
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12585
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12586
12587
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12588
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12589
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12590
12591
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12592
(Olaf Conradi)
12593
12594
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12595
(Olaf Conradi)
12596
12597
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12598
12599
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12600
12601
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12602
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12603
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12604
(Robert Collins)
12605
12606
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12607
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12608
12609
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12610
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12611
check. (Robert Collins)
12612
12613
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12614
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12615
12616
Testing
12617
*******
12618
12619
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12620
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12621
12622
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12623
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12624
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12625
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12626
12627
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12628
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12629
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12630
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12631
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12632
12633
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12634
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12635
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12636
12637
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12638
12639
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12640
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
12648
*******
12649
12650
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12651
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12652
12653
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12654
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12655
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12656
(Johan Rydberg)
12657
12658
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12659
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12660
12661
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12662
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12663
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12664
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12665
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12666
12667
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12668
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12669
used. (Robert Collins)
12670
12671
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12672
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12673
(James Henstridge)
12674
12675
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12676
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12677
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12678
12679
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12680
ignore list.
12681
12682
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12683
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
12684
12685
Improvements
12686
************
12687
12688
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12689
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12690
12691
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12692
12693
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12694
12695
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12696
tree. (Robert Collins)
12697
12698
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12699
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12700
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12701
(Robert Collins)
12702
12703
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12704
that they be kept.
12705
12706
* Tweaks to short log printing
12707
12708
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12709
(Aaron Bentley)
12710
12711
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12712
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12713
12714
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12715
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12716
12717
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12718
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12719
12720
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12721
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12722
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12723
12724
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12725
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12726
12727
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12728
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12729
requests.
12730
12731
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12732
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12733
12734
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12735
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12736
12737
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12738
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12739
12740
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12741
(Denys Duchier)
12742
12743
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12744
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12745
12746
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12747
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12748
12749
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12750
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
12751
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)

Bug Fixes
12754
*********
12755
12756
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
12757
12758
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12759
12760
* Error when run with -OO
12761
12762
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
12763
(Martin Pool)
12764
12765
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
12766
12767
* Change status to 3 for all errors
12768
12769
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
12770
ignored by diff and status
12771
12772
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
12773
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
12774
12775
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
12776
12777
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
12778
12779
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
12780
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
12781
12782
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
12783
email address. (Marien Zwart)
12784
12785
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12786
(Harald Meland)
12787
12788
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
12789
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12790
12791
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12792
12793
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12794
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
12795
12796
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
12797
(Martin Pool)
12798
12799
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
12800
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
12801
12802
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
12803
12804
Testing
12805
*******
12806
12807
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12808
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12809
12810
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12811
12812
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12813
12814
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12815
12816
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12817
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12818
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12819
12820
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12821
12822
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12823
(John Arbash Meinel)
12824
12825
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12826
12827
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12828
If adding a new test script please add that to
12829
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12830
12831
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12832
imported. (Martin Pool)
12833
12834
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12835
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12836
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12837
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12838
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12839
(Robert Collins)
12840
12841
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12842
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12843
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12844
12845
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12846
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12847
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12848
12849
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12850
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12851
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations

12863
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12864
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12865
12866
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12867
function. (Robert Collins)
12868
12869
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12870
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12871
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12872
12873
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12874
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12875
(Robert Collins)
12876
12877
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12878
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12879
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12880
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12881
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12882
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12883
version. (Robert Collins)
12884
12885
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12886
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12887
12888
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12889
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12890
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12891
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12892
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12893
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12894
12895
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12896
(Robert Collins)
12897
12898
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
12899
12900

12902
move()
12903
rename_one()
12904

12907
12908
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12909
12910
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12911
12912
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12913
Pool)
12914
12915
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12916

12917
12918
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12919

12921
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12922
(Michael Ellerman)
12923
12924
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12925
(Michael Ellerman)
12926
12927
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12928
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12929
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12930
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12931
12932
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12933
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12934
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12935
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12936
12937
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12938

12946
************
12947
12948
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12949
(John A Meinel)
12950
12951
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12952
conflicts.
12953
(Aaron Bentley)
12954
12955
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12956
a separator, not ':'.
12957
(Aaron Bentley)
12958
12959
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12960
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12961
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12962
12963
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12964
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12965
(Robert Collins)
12966
12967
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12968
has been added that suppresses all output.
12969
12970
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12971
Adams.
12972
12973
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12974
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12975
12976
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12977
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12978
12979
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12980
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12981
12982
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12983
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12984
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12985
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12986
12987
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12988
12989
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12990
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12991
12992
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12993
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12994
12995
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12996
output directory, if one was supplied.
12997
12998
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12999
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
13000
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
13001
parameters. (Robert Collins)
13002
13003
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
13004
13005
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
13006
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
13007
13008
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
13009
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
13010
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
13011
13012
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
13013
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
13014
13015
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
13016
(Aaron Bentley)
13017
13018
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
13019
13020

13021
13022
Testing
13023
*******
13024
13025
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
13026
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
13027
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
13028
13029
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
13030
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
13031
related questions. (Robert Collins)
13032
13033
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
13034
is given. (Martin Pool)
13035
13036
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
13037
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
13038
file. (Robert Collins)
13039
13040
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
13041
(Martin Pool)
13042
13043
Internals
13044
*********
13045
13046
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
13047
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
13048
representation. (Martin Pool).
13049
13050
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
13051
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
13052
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
13053
13054
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13055
(Robert Collins)
13056
13057
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
13058
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
13059
Magnus Therning.
13060
13061
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13062
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
13063
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
13064
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
13065
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
13066
13067
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
13068
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
13069
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
13070
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
13071
python path. (Robert Collins)
13072
13073
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
13074
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
13075
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
13076
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
13077
13078
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
13079
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
13080
13081
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
13082
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
13083
(Robert Collins)
13084
13085
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
13086
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
13087
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
13088
13089
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
13090
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
13091
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
13092
13093
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13094
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13095
13096
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
13097
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
13098
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
13099
(Robert Collins)
13100
13101
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
13102
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
13103
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
13104
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
13105
(Robert Collins)
13106
13107
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
13108
(Robert Collins)
13109
13110
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
13111
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
13112
(Robert Collins)
13113
13114
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
13115
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
13116
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
13117
13118
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
13119
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
13120
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
13121
13122
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
13123
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
13124
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
13125
13126
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13127
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13128
13129
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
13130
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
13131
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
13132
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
13133
caller. (Robert Collins)
13134
13135
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
13136
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
13137
(Robert Collins).
13138
13139
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
13140
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
13141
(Aaron Bentley)
13142
13143
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
13144
13145
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
13146
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

13186
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate

high-latency connections.

13200
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
13201
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
13202
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
13203

13210
13211
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
13212
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
13213
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13214
13215
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions

13217
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by

13223
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
13224
different partial views of history.
13225

13227

Improvements
13230
************
13231
13232
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
13233
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
13234
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13235
13236
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
13237
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
13238
'bzr upgrade'.
13239
13240
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
13241
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
13242
13243
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
13244
Niemeyer.
13245
13246
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
13247
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
13248
13249
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
13250
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
13251
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
13252
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13253
13254
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
13255
13256
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
13257
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
13258
Gustavo Niemeyer.
13259
13260
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
13261
Contributed by Robert Collins.
13262
13263
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
13264
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo

13271
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
13272
for your viewing pleasure.
13273
13274
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
13275
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
13276
13277
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
13278
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
13279
handling of such circumstances.
13280
13281
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
13282
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
13283
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
13284
13285
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
13286
13287
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
13288
we call them revisions not patches.
13289
13290
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
13291
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
13292
13293
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
13294
giving the revision *of that file*.
13295
13296
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
13297
This must be consistent with the overall branch version

13335
13336
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
13337
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
13338
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
13339

************
13362
13363
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
13364
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
13365
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
13366
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
13367
Michael Ellerman.
13368
13369
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
13370
(Nir Soffer)
13371
13372
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
13373
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
13374
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
13375
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
13376
for the operating system is still tried.
13377
13378
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
13379
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
13380
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

13505
13506
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13507
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13508
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13509
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13510
13511
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13512
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13513
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13514
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13515
standard plugins directory.
13516
13517
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13518
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13519
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13520
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13521
13522
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13523
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13524
13525
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13526
disk.
13527
13528
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13529
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13530
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13531
13532
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13533
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13534
13535
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13536
line options must come before the command name because they
13537
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13538
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13539
it.
13540
13541
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13542
13543

* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13562
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13563
13564
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13565
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13566
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13567
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13568
13569
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13570
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13571
with the ``--forward`` option.
13572

13610
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
13611

13614

the tests.
13652

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13654
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13655
13656
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13657
