GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
19
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
20
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.

22
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
23
*****************************
24
25
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
26
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
27
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
28
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
29
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
30
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
31
appeared now.

33
Bug Fixes
34
*********
35
36
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
37
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
38
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
39
40
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
41
********************************
42
43
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
44
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
45
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
46
47
Bug Fixes
48
*********
49
50
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
51
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
52
53
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
54
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
55
56
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
57
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
58
59
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
60
61
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
62
*********************************
63
64
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
65
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
66
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
67
68
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
69
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
70
71
Compatibility Breaks
72
********************
73
74
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
75
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
76
command may need to be adjusted.
77
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
78
79
New Features
80
************
81
82
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
83
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
84
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
85
86
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
87
(Martin Pool)
88
89
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
90
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
91
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
92
(Ian Clatworthy)
93
94
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
95
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
96
97
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
98
(John Arbash Meinel)
99
100
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
101
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
102
103
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
104
105
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
106
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
107
(Jonathan Lange)
108
109
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
110
(Jonathan Lange)
111
112
Improvements
113
************
114
115
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
116
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
117
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
118
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
119
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
120
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
121
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
122
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
123
(Robert Collins)
124
125
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
126
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
127
128
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
129
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
130
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
131
132
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
133
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
134
135
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
136
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
137
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
138
(Ian Clatworthy)
139
140
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
141
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
142
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
143
144
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
145
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
146
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
147
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
148
149
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
150
(Jelmer Vernooij)
151
152
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
153
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
154
155
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
156
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
157
158
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
159
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
160
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
161
162
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
163
164
Bug Fixes
165
*********
166
167
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
168
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
169
170
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
171
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
172
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
173
174
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
175
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
177
178
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
179
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
180
181
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
182
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
183
Vernooij, #315048)
184
185
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
186
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
187
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
188
189
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
190
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
191
192
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
193
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
194
195
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
196
(James Westby, #174539)
197
198
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
199
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
200
201
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
202
error branching from old repositories.
203
(Martin Pool, #321695)
204
205
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
206
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
207
208
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
209
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
210
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
211
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
212
213
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
214
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
215
#334808)
216
217
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
218
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
219
220
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
221
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
222
223
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
224
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
225
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
226
227
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
228
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
229
230
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
231
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
232
233
Documentation
234
*************
235
236
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
237
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
238
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
239
(Ian Clatworthy)
240
241
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
242
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
243
244
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
245
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
246
247
API Changes
248
***********
249
250
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
251
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
252
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
253
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
254
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
255
256
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
257
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
258
259
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
260
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
261
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
262
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
263
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
264
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
265
266
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
267
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
268
269
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
270
"author" argument being deprecated.
271
272
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
273
274
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
275
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
276
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
277
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
278
279
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
280
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
281
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
282
283
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
284
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
285
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
286
287
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
288
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
289
290
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
291
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
292
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
293
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
294
295
Internals
296
*********
297
298
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
299
free of virtual file system methods.
300
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
301
302
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
303
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
304
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
305
306
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
307
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
308
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
309
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
310
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
311
(Robert Collins, #334187)
312
313
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
314
315
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
316
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
317
318
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
319
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
320
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
321
stream the operation.
322
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
323
324
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
325
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
326
327
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
328
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
329
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
330
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
331
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
332
333
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
334
branch object. (Robert Collins)
335
336
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
337
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
338
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
339
340
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
341
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
342
(Robert Collins)
343
344
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
345
(Robert Collins)
346
347
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
348
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
349
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
350
351
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
352
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
353
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
354
355
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
356
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
357
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
358
359
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
360
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
361
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
362
363
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
364
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
365
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
366
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
367
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
368
369
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
370
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
371
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
372
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
373
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
374
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
375
376
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
377
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
378
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
379
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
380
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
381
382
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
383
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
384
385
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
386
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
387
388
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
389
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
390
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
391
to access private data in record to obtain content more
392
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
393
394
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
395
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
396
