12
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
13
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
14
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
19
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
20
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
21
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
26
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
27
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
29
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
30
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
32
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
33
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
35
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
38
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
39
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
41
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
42
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
44
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
45
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
47
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
48
(Blake Winton, #129299)
50
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
52
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
55
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
56
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
57
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
58
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
60
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
62
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
63
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
66
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
67
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
69
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
70
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
73
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
74
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
76
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
77
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
81
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
82
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
84
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
87
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
90
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
91
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
93
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
95
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
96
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
98
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
99
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
101
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
102
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
103
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
104
space). (Robert Collins)
106
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
107
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
110
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
111
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
115
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
116
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
118
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
119
previous release. (Martin Pool)
123
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
124
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
126
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
127
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
129
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
130
previous release. (Martin Pool)
132
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
137
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
138
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
139
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
140
its version information. (Robert Collins)
142
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
143
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
145
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
146
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
147
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
148
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
150
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
151
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
154
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
155
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
157
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
158
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
159
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
160
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
161
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
162
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
164
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
165
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
166
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
168
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
169
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
170
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
171
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
174
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
179
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
180
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
188
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
189
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
190
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
191
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
192
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
193
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
194
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
195
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
200
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
201
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
202
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
205
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
206
======================
210
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
211
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
212
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
213
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
214
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
216
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
219
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
223
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
224
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
227
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
228
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
231
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
234
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
235
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
237
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
238
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
240
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
241
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
243
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
244
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
246
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
247
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
249
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
254
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
255
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
257
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
258
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
260
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
261
the repository (Robert Collins)
263
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
264
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
265
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
266
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
267
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
269
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
270
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
272
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
273
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
276
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
277
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
278
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
280
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
281
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
282
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
285
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
286
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
289
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
290
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
292
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
295
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
297
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
299
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
300
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
302
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
303
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
306
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
307
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
308
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
309
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
311
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
312
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
313
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
315
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
316
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
317
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
319
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
320
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
322
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
323
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
324
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
325
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
326
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
327
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
330
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
331
(Alexander Belchenko)
333
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
334
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
336
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
337
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
339
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
341
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
342
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
346
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
347
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
348
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
349
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
351
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
353
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
356
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
357
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
358
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
359
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
360
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
361
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
365
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
366
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
367
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
368
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
370
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
371
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
372
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
373
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
374
tests have been refactored too.
377
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
378
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
379
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
383
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
384
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
385
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
387
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
388
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
389
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
390
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
391
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
392
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
393
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
395
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
396
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
397
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
398
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
401
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
402
functionality for testing.
404
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
406
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
407
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
409
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
411
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
414
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
415
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
417
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
418
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
419
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
421
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
424
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
425
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
427
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
428
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
429
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
430
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
432
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
433
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
435
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
436
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
437
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
439
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
442
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
443
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
444
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
445
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
446
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
447
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
449
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
450
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
451
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
452
many files. (Robert Collins)
454
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
455
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
456
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
457
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
461
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
462
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
463
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
465
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
466
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
468
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
469
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
470
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
478
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
481
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
482
=======================
486
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
487
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
489
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
490
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
491
(James Westby, #122656)
493
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
494
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
496
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
497
authentication header.
498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
500
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
502
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
503
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
505
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
507
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
510
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
511
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
514
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
515
individually and as part of revision ranges.
518
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
519
(Martin Pool, #109169)
521
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
522
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
524
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
525
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
527
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
529
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
533
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
534
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
535
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
536
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
537
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
538
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
540
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
541
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
542
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
544
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
547
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
548
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
550
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
551
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
553
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
554
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
556
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
557
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
558
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
559
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
560
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
562
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
563
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
565
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
566
can be slow it is useful feedback).
567
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
569
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
570
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
572
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
574
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
575
output. (Aaron Bentley)
577
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
578
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
581
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
584
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
585
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
587
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
588
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
590
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
591
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
593
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
595
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
596
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
598
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
618
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
619
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
620
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
623
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
625
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
626
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
627
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
629
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
630
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
632
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
633
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
635
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
637
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
638
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
639
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
640
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
641
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
642
same location. (Robert Collins)
646
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
648
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
650
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
652
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
655
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
658
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
659
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
660
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
662
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
664
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
665
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
666
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
668
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
669
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
671
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
672
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
673
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
675
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
676
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
677
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
679
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
680
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
681
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
683
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
684
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
687
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
688
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
690
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
691
(Alexander Belchenko)
695
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
696
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
697
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
698
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
700
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
701
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
702
testing. (Robert Collins)
704
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
705
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
707
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
708
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
709
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
710
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
711
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
712
attribute during the test parameterisation in
713
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
715
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
716
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
717
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
718
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
720
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
721
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
723
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
724
avoid useless cloning.
725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
733
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
734
(Colin Watson, #120647)
736
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
737
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
740
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
741
=======================
743
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
745
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
746
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
747
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
748
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
749
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
750
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
751
and unlock() like so::
753
work_tree.lock_read()
755
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
760
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
761
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
763
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
764
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
765
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
767
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
768
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
769
too. (Robert Collins)
773
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
774
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
777
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
780
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
781
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
783
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
784
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
785
understanding what changes have occurred
786
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
788
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
789
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
790
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
792
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
793
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
794
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
795
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
797
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
802
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
803
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
804
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
805
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
806
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
808
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
809
based on split paths, not just string paths.
810
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
812
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
815
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
819
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
820
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
822
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
823
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
825
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
826
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
828
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
829
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
831
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
832
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
834
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
835
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
836
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
843
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
844
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
845
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
846
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
847
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
849
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
850
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
851
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
853
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
854
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
858
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
859
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
860
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
862
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
863
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
864
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
865
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
867
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
868
=======================
872
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
873
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
874
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
875
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
877
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
878
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
879
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
881
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
882
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
884
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
885
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
887
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
888
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
890
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
891
=======================
893
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
895
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
896
it could be recovered again.
897
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
898
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
899
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
901
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
903
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
904
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
908
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
909
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
911
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
912
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
913
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
914
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
916
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
917
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
919
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
920
tests with names that match that regular expression.
921
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
923
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
924
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
925
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
927
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
928
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
929
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
931
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
932
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
935
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
938
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
939
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
940
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
941
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
943
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
946
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
947
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
948
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
951
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
952
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
954
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
955
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
957
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
958
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
959
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
960
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
963
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
964
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
966
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
967
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
969
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
970
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
971
(Robert Collins, #107125).
973
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
974
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
975
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
977
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
978
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
979
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
981
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
982
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
983
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
984
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
986
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
987
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
988
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
989
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
991
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
992
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
993
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
994
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
995
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
996
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
997
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
998
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1004
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1005
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1007
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1008
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1009
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1010
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1011
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1013
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1014
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1016
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1017
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1019
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1020
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1022
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1023
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1025
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1026
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1027
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1030
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1031
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1032
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1033
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1034
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1037
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1038
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1039
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1041
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1042
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1045
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1046
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1047
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1050
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1051
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1052
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1053
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1054
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1056
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1057
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1058
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1059
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1061
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1062
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1064
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1065
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1066
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1067
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1068
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1069
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1071
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1072
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1074
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1075
help. (Robert Collins)
1077
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1078
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1080
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1081
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1082
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1083
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1084
(John Arbash Meinel)
1086
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1087
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1088
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1089
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1090
useful. (Robert Collins)
1092
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1097
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1098
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1100
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1101
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1103
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1104
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1105
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1107
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1110
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1111
the file, and does it faster.
1112
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1114
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1115
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1116
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1118
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1119
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1120
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1121
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1123
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1124
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1125
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1126
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1128
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1129
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1131
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1132
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1133
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1134
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1137
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1139
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1140
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1142
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1143
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1145
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1146
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1147
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1148
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1152
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1157
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1158
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1159
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1161
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1162
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1164
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1165
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1166
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1167
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1168
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1169
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1170
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1171
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1173
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1174
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1175
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1177
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1178
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1179
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1180
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1181
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1183
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1185
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1186
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1187
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1189
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1190
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1198
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1201
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1202
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1205
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1206
=======================
1210
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1211
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1216
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1217
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1218
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1219
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1220
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1221
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1222
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1223
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1228
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1229
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1230
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1232
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1233
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1236
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1237
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1238
(John Arbash Meinel)
1240
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1241
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1242
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1243
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1244
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1248
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1251
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1252
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1254
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1255
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1257
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1258
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1259
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1261
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1262
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1264
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1265
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1266
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1267
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1268
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1270
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1271
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1272
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1274
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1277
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1278
=======================
1280
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1282
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1283
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1284
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1288
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1289
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1291
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1292
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1294
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1296
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1297
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1299
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1300
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1304
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1309
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1310
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1311
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1312
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1314
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1315
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1317
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1318
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1320
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1323
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1324
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1327
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1328
=======================
1332
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1333
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1334
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1335
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1336
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1337
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1339
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1340
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1341
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1342
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1343
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1344
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1346
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1348
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1349
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1350
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1351
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1352
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1353
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1354
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1355
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1359
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1360
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1362
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1363
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1364
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1365
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1367
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1368
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1369
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1370
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1371
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1373
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1376
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1379
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1382
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1383
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1386
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1389
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1390
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1392
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1393
directory. (Martin Pool)
1395
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1396
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1397
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1398
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1400
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1401
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1402
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1403
in docs/configuration.txt.
1405
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1406
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1409
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1410
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1411
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1412
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1413
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1414
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1416
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1417
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1419
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1420
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1422
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1427
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1428
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1429
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1430
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1431
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1432
(John Arbash Meinel)
1434
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1435
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1438
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1439
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1440
(John Arbash Meinel)
1442
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1443
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1444
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1445
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1446
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1447
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1449
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1450
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1451
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1453
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1454
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1455
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1456
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1458
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1460
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1461
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1462
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1463
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1465
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1466
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1467
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1468
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1470
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1471
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1472
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1474
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1475
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1476
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1478
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1479
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1480
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1481
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1483
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1484
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1485
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1487
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1488
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1489
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1491
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1492
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1493
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1494
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1495
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1496
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1497
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1498
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1499
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1500
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1501
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1505
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1506
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1507
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1509
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1512
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1513
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1514
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1515
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1517
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1518
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1521
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1522
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1524
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1526
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1527
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1528
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1530
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1531
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1533
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1536
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1539
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1540
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1542
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1544
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1545
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1549
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1550
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1554
====================
1558
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1562
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1563
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1564
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1566
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1567
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1568
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1571
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1572
=======================
1576
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1577
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1578
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1579
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1581
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1584
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1585
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1586
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1588
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1589
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1591
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1594
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1595
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1596
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1597
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1598
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1599
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1601
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1602
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1603
should enable you to do::
1605
[/home/user/project]
1606
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1607
push_location:policy = appendpath
1609
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1610
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1613
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1614
for each file. For example::
1616
$ bzr status --short
1622
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1623
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1625
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1627
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1628
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1630
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1634
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1635
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1636
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1637
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1639
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1640
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1641
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1643
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1645
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1646
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1647
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1648
(Alexander Belchenko)
1650
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1653
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1654
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1656
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1660
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1661
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1663
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1664
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1665
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1666
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1667
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1669
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1670
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1672
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1673
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1675
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1677
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1679
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1680
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1681
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1682
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1683
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1685
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1686
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1687
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1688
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1690
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1691
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1693
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1694
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1696
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1697
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1699
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1
1708
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1709
=======================
1713
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1715
(Daniel Silverstone)
1717
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1718
operations are substantially faster.
1719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1721
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1722
tree from some other url. For example:
1723
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1724
(Daniel Silverstone)
1726
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1727
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1728
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1729
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1731
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1734
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1735
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1736
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1737
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1738
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1739
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1743
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1744
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1747
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1748
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1749
(John Arbash Meinel)
1751
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1752
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1753
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1754
(John Arbash Meinel)
1756
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1757
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1759
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1760
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1762
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1763
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1768
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1769
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1770
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1772
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1773
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1774
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1775
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1777
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1779
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1780
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1782
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1783
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1784
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1785
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1787
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1788
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1789
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1791
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1792
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1793
them as full references rather than integers.
1794
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1796
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1797
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1799
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1801
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1802
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1804
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1805
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1807
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1808
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1809
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1810
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1812
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1813
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1814
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1816
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1817
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1819
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1820
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1821
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1822
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1823
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1827
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1828
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1831
====================
1835
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1836
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1837
(John Arbash Meinel)
1839
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1840
=======================
1844
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1845
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1846
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1847
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1849
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1850
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1852
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1854
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1855
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1856
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1857
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1859
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1860
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1861
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1862
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1863
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1865
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1867
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1868
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1872
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1873
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1874
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1876
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1877
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1878
(John Arbash Meinel)
1880
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1881
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1882
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1884
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1885
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1888
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1889
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1890
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1892
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1893
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1894
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1895
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1896
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1897
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1899
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1900
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1901
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1904
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1905
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1909
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1910
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1911
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1914
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1915
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1917
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1918
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1919
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1921
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1922
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1924
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1925
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1926
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1927
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1929
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1930
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1932
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1933
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1934
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1936
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1937
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1939
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1941
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1942
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1947
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1948
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1949
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1950
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1952
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1953
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1954
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1957
====================
1959
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1961
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1962
=======================
1966
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1968
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1971
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1972
=======================
1976
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1977
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1978
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1979
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1980
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1981
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1982
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1984
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1985
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1986
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1988
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1990
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1991
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1993
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1994
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1995
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1998
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1999
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2000
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2001
(John Arbash Meinel)
2003
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2004
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2005
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2006
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2009
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2010
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2011
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2012
(John Arbash Meinel)
2016
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2017
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2019
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2021
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2022
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2023
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2025
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2026
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2028
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2029
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2031
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2032
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2034
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2035
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2037
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2039
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2040
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2042
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2043
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2045
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2046
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2048
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2049
(John Arbash Meinel)
2051
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2052
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2053
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2055
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2056
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2058
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2059
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2060
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2061
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2063
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2064
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2065
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2067
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2068
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2072
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2076
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2077
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2078
(John Arbash Meinel)
2080
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2081
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2082
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2083
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2085
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2088
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2089
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2090
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2092
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2093
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2095
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2096
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2097
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2099
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2100
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2101
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2102
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2103
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2104
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2105
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2106
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2107
caller to repeat their request.
2108
(John Arbash Meinel)
2110
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2111
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2113
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2114
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2116
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2117
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2118
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2119
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2120
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2121
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2122
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2124
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2125
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2126
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2127
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2128
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2129
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2130
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2131
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2134
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2135
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2136
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2138
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2139
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2141
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2142
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2144
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2145
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2149
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2150
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2152
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2153
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2154
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2156
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2157
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2158
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2161
====================
2164
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2165
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2167
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2168
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2169
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2170
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2171
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2173
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2174
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2175
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2177
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2178
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2180
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2181
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2182
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2186
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2188
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2189
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2190
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2192
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2194
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2196
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2197
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2198
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2199
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2201
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2202
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2203
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2204
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2205
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2207
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2208
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2210
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2211
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2213
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2214
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2216
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2217
in handling of revision properties.
2218
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2220
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2221
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2225
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2226
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2227
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2228
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel)
2231
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2232
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2233
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2235
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2236
=====================
2240
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2241
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2242
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2243
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2244
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2245
a more conservative list than the old default.
2246
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2247
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2248
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2249
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2251
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2252
to more locations than just branch locations.
2257
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2258
revno:N:branch. For example,
2259
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2260
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2262
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2263
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2264
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2265
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2266
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2267
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2268
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2269
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2272
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2273
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2274
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2277
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2278
(Alexander Belchenko)
2280
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2282
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2285
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2286
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2287
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2288
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2289
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2290
(John Arbash Meinel)
2292
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2293
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2294
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2295
grained analysis of performance.
2296
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2298
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2299
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2301
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2302
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2303
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2304
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2305
file. (Robert Collins).
2307
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2308
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2309
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2311
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2312
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2315
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2316
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2318
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2319
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2320
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2321
the same way you would apply another branch.
2322
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2324
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2325
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2327
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2330
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2333
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2334
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2335
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2337
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2338
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2339
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2341
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2342
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2344
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2345
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2346
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2347
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2348
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2350
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2351
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2353
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2354
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2355
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2356
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2357
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2358
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2359
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2360
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2362
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2363
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2364
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2368
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2370
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2372
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2373
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2375
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2376
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2378
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2379
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2381
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2383
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2384
(John Arbash Meinel)
2386
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2387
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2389
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2390
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2393
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2394
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2396
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2397
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2399
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2400
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2401
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2402
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2404
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2405
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2407
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2409
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2410
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2412
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2414
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2416
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2417
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2419
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2420
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2422
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2423
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2424
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2426
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2427
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2428
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2430
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2431
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2433
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2434
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2436
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2437
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2439
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2440
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2442
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2443
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2445
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2446
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2447
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2449
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2451
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2452
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2456
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2457
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2458
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2460
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2461
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2463
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2464
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2465
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2467
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2468
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2470
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2471
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2474
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2475
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2476
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2478
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2479
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2480
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2482
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2483
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2484
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2486
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2487
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2488
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2490
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2491
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2492
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2494
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2495
instead. (Robert Collins)
2497
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2499
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2500
=====================
2504
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2506
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2507
=====================
2511
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2512
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2514
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2515
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2517
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2518
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2519
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2523
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2525
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2526
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2528
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2532
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2533
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2534
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2535
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2539
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2540
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2541
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2545
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2546
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2547
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2551
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2552
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2557
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2559
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2560
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2561
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2562
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2563
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2564
will keep the same format.
2566
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2567
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2568
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2569
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2570
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2572
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2573
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2574
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2575
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2576
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2577
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2578
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2580
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2581
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2582
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2583
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2584
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2586
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2587
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2588
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2594
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2595
convention. Paths now take the form::
2597
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2599
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2601
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2602
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2604
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2605
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2606
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2608
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2609
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2610
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2611
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2613
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2614
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2615
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2617
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2619
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2621
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2622
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2625
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2626
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2629
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2631
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2632
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2633
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2636
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2638
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2640
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2643
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2644
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2646
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2647
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2650
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2651
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2654
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2656
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2658
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2659
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2661
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2662
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2663
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2664
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2665
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2666
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2668
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2670
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2671
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2674
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2675
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2677
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2678
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2680
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2682
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2683
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2684
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2685
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2686
specification by Martin Pool.
2687
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2689
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2692
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2693
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2695
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2696
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2697
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2699
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2701
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2702
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2707
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2708
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2710
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2712
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2714
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2717
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2718
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2719
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2720
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2724
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2725
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2726
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2727
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2729
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2730
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2731
tried. (Martin Pool)
2733
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2736
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2738
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2739
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2740
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2742
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2743
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2745
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2746
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2747
paths. (Robert Collins)
2749
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2750
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2751
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2753
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2754
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2755
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2757
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2758
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2759
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2761
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2764
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2767
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2769
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2771
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2772
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2773
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2776
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2777
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2779
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2780
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2781
check. (Robert Collins)
2783
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2784
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2788
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2789
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2791
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2792
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2793
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2794
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2796
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2797
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2798
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2799
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2800
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2802
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2803
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2804
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2806
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2808
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2809
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2816
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2817
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2819
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2820
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2821
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2824
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2825
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2827
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2828
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2829
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2830
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2831
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2833
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2834
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2835
used. (Robert Collins)
2837
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2838
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2841
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2842
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2843
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2845
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2848
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2849
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2853
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2854
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2856
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2858
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2860
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2861
tree. (Robert Collins)
2863
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2864
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2865
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2868
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2871
* Tweaks to short log printing
2873
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2876
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2877
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2879
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2880
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2882
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2883
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2885
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2886
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2887
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2889
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2890
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2892
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2893
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2896
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2897
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2899
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2900
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2902
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2903
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2905
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2908
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2909
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2911
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2912
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2914
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2915
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2916
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2920
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2922
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2924
* Error when run with -OO
2926
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2929
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2931
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2933
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2934
ignored by diff and status
2936
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2937
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2939
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2941
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2943
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2944
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2946
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2947
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2949
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2952
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2953
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2955
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2957
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2958
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2960
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2963
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2964
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2966
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2970
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2971
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2973
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2975
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2977
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2979
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2980
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2981
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2983
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2985
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2986
(John Arbash Meinel)
2988
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2990
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2991
If adding a new test script please add that to
2992
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2994
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2995
imported. (Martin Pool)
2997
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2998
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2999
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3000
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3001
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3004
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3005
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3006
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3008
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3009
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3010
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3012
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3013
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3014
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3015
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3016
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3019
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3020
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3025
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3026
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3028
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3029
function. (Robert Collins)
3031
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3032
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3033
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3035
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3036
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3039
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3040
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3041
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3042
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3043
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3044
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3045
version. (Robert Collins)
3047
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3048
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3050
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3051
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3052
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3053
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3054
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3055
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3057
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3060
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3070
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3072
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3074
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3077
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3078
query method. (Robert Collins)
3080
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3083
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3086
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3089
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3090
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3091
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3092
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3094
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3095
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3096
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3097
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3099
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3100
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3107
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3110
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3114
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3115
a separator, not ':'.
3118
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3119
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3120
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3122
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3123
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3126
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3127
has been added that suppresses all output.
3129
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3132
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3133
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3135
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3136
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3138
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3139
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3141
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3142
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3143
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3144
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3146
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3148
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3149
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3151
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3152
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3154
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3155
output directory, if one was supplied.
3157
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3158
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3159
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3160
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3162
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3164
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3165
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3167
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3168
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3169
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3171
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3172
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3174
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3177
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3179
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3183
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3184
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3185
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3187
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3188
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3189
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3191
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3192
is given. (Martin Pool)
3194
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3195
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3196
file. (Robert Collins)
3198
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3203
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3204
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3205
representation. (Martin Pool).
3207
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3208
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3209
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3211
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3214
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3215
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3218
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3219
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3220
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3221
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3222
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3224
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3225
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3226
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3227
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3228
python path. (Robert Collins)
3230
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3231
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3232
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3233
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3235
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3236
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3238
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3239
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3242
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3243
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3244
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3246
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3247
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3248
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3250
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3251
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3253
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3254
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3255
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3258
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3259
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3260
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3261
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3264
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3267
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3268
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3271
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3272
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3273
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3275
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3276
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3277
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3279
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3280
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3281
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3283
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3284
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3286
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3287
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3288
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3289
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3290
caller. (Robert Collins)
3292
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3293
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3296
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3297
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3300
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3302
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3303
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3307
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3308
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3310
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3311
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3314
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3315
====================
3319
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3320
allow directories to be listed.
3322
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3323
upgrading branch format.
3327
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3335
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3336
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3337
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3338
high-latency connections.
3342
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3345
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3346
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3348
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3349
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3350
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3351
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3353
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3354
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3356
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3357
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3359
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3360
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3361
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3363
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3364
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3365
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3368
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3369
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3371
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3372
different partial views of history.
3374
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3375
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3379
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3380
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3381
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3383
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3384
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3387
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3388
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3390
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3393
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3394
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3396
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3397
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3398
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3399
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3401
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3403
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3404
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3407
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3408
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3410
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3411
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3412
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3417
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3418
for your viewing pleasure.
3420
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3421
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3423
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3424
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3425
handling of such circumstances.
3427
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3428
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3429
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3431
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3433
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3434
we call them revisions not patches.
3436
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3437
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3439
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3440
giving the revision *of that file*.
3442
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3443
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3444
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3448
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3449
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3451
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3452
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3455
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3456
====================
3460
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3462
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3465
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3467
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3469
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3470
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3474
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3475
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3477
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3478
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3479
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3480
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3483
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3484
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3488
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3490
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3491
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3494
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3495
====================
3499
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3500
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3501
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3502
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3505
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3508
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3509
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3510
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3511
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3512
for the operating system is still tried.
3514
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3515
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3516
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3521
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3525
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3527
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3530
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3536
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3538
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3541
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3542
====================
3546
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3547
help with intelligent shell completion.
3549
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3554
* Much better merge support.
3556
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3557
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3563
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3564
mention revisions that are not present.
3566
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3568
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3570
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3571
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3576
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3578
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3579
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3585
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3586
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3591
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3592
====================
3596
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3597
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3599
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3601
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3602
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3604
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3607
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3609
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3612
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3613
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3615
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3616
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3617
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3622
* Faster working tree operations.
3627
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3628
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3629
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3630
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3632
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3633
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3634
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3635
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3636
standard plugins directory.
3638
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3639
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3640
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3641
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3643
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3644
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3646
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3649
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3650
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3651
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3653
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3654
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3656
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3657
line options must come before the command name because they
3658
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3659
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3662
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3664
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3665
is available with ``--short``.
3670
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3673
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3674
=====================
3678
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3679
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3681
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3682
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3683
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3684
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3686
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3687
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3688
with the ``--forward`` option.
3690
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3691
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3697
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3698
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3700
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3702
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3703
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
3705
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3707
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
3708
either read or write mode.
3710
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
3712
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
3715
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
3717
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
3718
suggested by LarstiQ.
3720
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3721
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3723
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3726
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3727
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3729
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3730
haven't changed since the previous time.
3732
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3733
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3735
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3737
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3739
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3740
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3742
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3743
options through to an external GNU diff.
3745
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3748
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3754
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3755
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3757
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3763
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3764
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3767
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3768
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3770
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3771
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3773
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3774
under a different version.
3776
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3781
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3783
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3784
Scott James Remnant.
3786
* Better help messages for many commands.
3788
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3789
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3791
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3792
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3794
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3796
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3798
* New AtomicFile class.
3800
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3805
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3806
2.4 is now only recommended.
3809
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3810
=====================
3814
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3815
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3817
* More default ignore patterns.
3819
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3820
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3822
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3824
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3827
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3832
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3833
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3834
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3835
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3836
there are DNS problems.
3838
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3843
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3845
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3847
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3848
trailing newlines properly.
3853
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3856
* More tests in test.sh.
3858
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3859
directory and delete it when done.
3861
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3866
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3869
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3873
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3874
=====================
3878
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
3881
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3883
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3886
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3889
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3891
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3895
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3896
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3901
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3902
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3907
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3911
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
3919
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
3922
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3923
===================================
3927
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3929
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3930
rather than replacing it.
3932
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3936
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3939
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3940
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3942
* Performance improvements.
3944
* New global --profile option.
3946
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3947
the root directory only.
3950
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3951
=====================
3955
* More information from info command.
3957
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3959
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3960
committing to stores.
3962
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3966
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3970
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
3971
installation easier.
3973
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
3977
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
3978
========================
3982
* First public release.
3984
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
11
:2.3.b2: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
20
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
23
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
26
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
28
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
30
* GNU lsh is now a supported lsh client; just set BZR_SSH to 'lsh'.
31
Also, bzr will recognize if the 'ssh' comand is a symlink to lsh.
32
(Matthew Gordon, #374700)
37
* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
38
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
39
(Martin Pool, #392315)
41
* Print junk rather than throwing a UnicodeDecodeError from ``bzr version-info``
42
when using the rio format (with non-ascii information) on a non-utf-8 terminal.
43
(Andrej A Antonov, #518609)
45
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
46
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
47
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
49
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
50
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
52
* ``unshelve --preview`` now can show diff in a non-ascii encoding.
53
(Andrej A Antonov, #518916)
67
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
68
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
70
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
71
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
72
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
77
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
78
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
80
* Use tests.TestCaseInTempDir for tests that requires disk resources.
81
(Vincent Ladeuil, #650001)
88
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
89
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
90
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
91
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
93
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
94
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
95
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
96
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
97
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
98
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
99
through the 2.3 series.
101
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
108
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
109
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
110
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
111
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
112
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
114
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
115
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
116
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
118
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
119
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
120
marked versioned too.
121
(Martin Pool, #192859)
123
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
124
target of the symlink.
125
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
127
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
128
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
129
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
131
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
132
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
133
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
134
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
136
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
137
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
139
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
140
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
143
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
144
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
145
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
148
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
149
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
151
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
153
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
154
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
155
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
156
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
157
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
159
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
160
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
162
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
167
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
168
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
170
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
171
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
172
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
174
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
175
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
177
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
181
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
182
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
183
(Martin Pool, #192859)
185
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
186
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
187
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
188
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
190
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
191
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
192
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
193
(Martin [gz], #631350)
195
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
196
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
197
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
198
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
200
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
201
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
203
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
204
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
206
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
207
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
208
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
209
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
210
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
212
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
213
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
214
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
215
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
217
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
218
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
219
(Martin [gz], #254278)
221
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
222
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
223
macrobenchmark suite.
226
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
227
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
230
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
231
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
232
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
233
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
235
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
236
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
237
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
238
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
243
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
244
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
245
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
247
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
248
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
250
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
251
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
252
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
253
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
256
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
257
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
258
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
259
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
261
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
262
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
264
* The ``pull`` and ``update`` commands now take a ``-show-base``
265
option that, in the case of conflicts, shows the base revision text.
266
(Rory Yorke, #202374)
271
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
272
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
274
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
275
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
277
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
278
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
280
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
281
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
282
marked versioned too.
283
(Martin Pool, #192859)
285
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
286
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
288
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
290
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
291
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
292
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
294
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
295
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
297
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
298
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
300
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
301
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
303
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
304
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
305
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
306
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
307
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
309
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
310
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
312
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
313
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
314
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
316
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
317
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
319
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
320
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
322
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
323
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
324
(Martin Pool, #192859)
326
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
327
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
328
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
329
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
331
* Fix signature of RemoteBzrDir.create_workingtree to match that of its
332
superclass. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Martin Pool, #524627)
334
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
335
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
337
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
338
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
340
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
341
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
344
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
345
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
346
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
347
(Martin [gz], #631350)
349
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
350
(Martin Pool, #98735)
352
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
355
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
356
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
357
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
358
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
360
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
361
users to attach to their own processes by default.
362
(Martin Pool, #626679)
364
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
365
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
366
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
368
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
369
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
371
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
372
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
375
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
376
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
377
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``.
378
(Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
380
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
381
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
386
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
387
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
388
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
389
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
390
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
392
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
393
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
396
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
397
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
398
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
399
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
400
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
403
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
404
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
405
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
407
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
408
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
409
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
411
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
412
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
413
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
414
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
415
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
416
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
418
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
419
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
420
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
425
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
426
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
427
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
429
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
430
to make the tests conditional.
433
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
434
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
435
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
437
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
438
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
443
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
444
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
445
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
446
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
449
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
450
relative change in revno.
453
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
454
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
455
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
457
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
458
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
459
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
460
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
461
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
462
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
463
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
464
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
466
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
467
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
469
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
470
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
473
* ``WorkingTree`` methods ``pull``, ``update``, and ``_update_tree``
474
now have an optional argument, ``show_base``, which is by default
475
False. This is flag is ultimately passed to ``merge.merge_inner``
476
in each case. (Rory Yorke, #202374)
481
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
487
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
488
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
490
* Catch socket errors to avoid
491
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
492
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
494
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
495
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
497
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
498
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
500
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
501
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
503
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
504
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
505
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
507
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
508
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
511
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
512
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
513
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
514
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
515
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
516
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
517
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
519
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
520
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
521
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
522
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
