************
79
80
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
81
82
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
83
(Aaron Bentley)
84
85
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
86
Nordhoff, #172612)
87
88
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
89
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
90
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
91
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
92
93
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
94
(Kent Gibson)
95
96
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
97
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
98
99
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
100
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
101
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
102
103
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
104
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
105
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
106
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
107
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
108
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
109
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
110
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
111
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

128
filename to user.
129
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)

131
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
132
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
133
required.
134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

Notes When Upgrading
155
********************
156
157
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
158
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
159
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
160
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
161
162
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
163
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
164
165
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
166
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
167
168
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
169
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
170
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
171
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
172
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
173
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
174
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
175
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
176
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
177
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
178
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
179
from any tree without problems.
180
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
181
182
Changes
183
*******
184
185
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
186
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
187
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
188
189
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
190
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
191
(Martin Pool)
192
193
Features
194
********
195
196
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
197
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
198
supported transports.
199
(Vincent Ladeuil)
200
201
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
202
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
203
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
204
205
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
206
(Robert Collins, #154173)
207
208
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
209
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
210
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
211
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
212
213
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
214
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
215
216
Performance
217
***********
218
219
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
220
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
221
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
222
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
223
224
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
225
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
226
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
227
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
228
229
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
230
(Robert Collins, #88319)
231
232
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
233
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
234
235
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
236
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
237
238
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
239
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
240
(Aaron Bentley)
241
242
Improvements
243
************
244
245
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
246
(Aaron Bentley)
247
248
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
249
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
250
(Lukáš Lalinský)
251
252
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
253
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
254
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
255
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
256
257
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
258
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
259
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
260
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

269
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
270
271
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
272
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
273
274
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
275
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
276
277
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
279
280
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
281
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
282
283
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
284
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
285
286
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
288
289
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
290
(Aaron Bentley)
291
292
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
294
295

296
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
298
299

309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
310
311
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
312
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
313
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
314
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
315
on them.
316
(Martin Pool, #164637)
317
318
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
319
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
321
322
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.

326
to be reconciled.
327
(Martin Pool, #164443)
328
329

330
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
331
332
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
333
specify a port in urls.
334
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
335
336

337
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
338
339
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
340
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
341
342
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
343
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
344
345
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
346
(Robert Collins, #153789)
347
348
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
349
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
350
(Robert Collins, #165304).
351
352
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
353
354

(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
369
370
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
371
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
372
373
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
374
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
375
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
376
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
377
378
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
379
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
380
381
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded

395
**********
396
397
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
398
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
399
400
* The return value of
401
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
402
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
403
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
404
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
405
406
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
407
(Robert Collins)
408
409
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
410

Internals
415
*********
416
417

420
Bennetts)
421
422
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
423
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
424
425
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
