568
569
:2.2.1: 2010-09-17
570
571
This is a bugfix release which also includes bugfixes from 2.0.6 and
572
2.1.3. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
573
earlier 2.2 releases.

Bug Fixes
576
*********
577
578
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
579
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
580
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
581
582
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
583
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
584
marked versioned too.
585
(Martin Pool, #192859)
586
587
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
588
target of the symlink.
589
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
590
591
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
592
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
593
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
594
595
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
596
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
597
598
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
599
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
601
602
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
603
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
604
605
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
606
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
607
608
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
609
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
610
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
611
612
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
613
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
614
(Martin Pool, #192859)
615
616
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
617
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
618
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
619
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
620
621
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
622
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
623
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
624
(Martin [gz], #631350)
625
626
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
627
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
628
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
629
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
630
631
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
632
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
633
634
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
635
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
636
637
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
638
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
639
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
640
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
641
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
642
643
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
644
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
645
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
646
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
647
648
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
649
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
650
(Martin [gz], #254278)
651
652
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
653
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
654
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
655
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
656
657
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
658
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
659
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
660

663
*************
664

666

667
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)

*******
677
678
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
679
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
680
681
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
682
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
683
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
684
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.

889
890
:Codename: La Hulpe
891
:2.2: 2010-08-06
892
893
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
894
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
895
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
896
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
897
supported for another 6 months.)
898
899
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
900
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
901
902
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
903
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
904
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
905
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
906
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
907
readonly operations).
908
909
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
910
911
Compatibility Breaks
912
********************
913
914
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
915
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
916
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
917
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
918
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
919
920
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
921
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
922
macrobenchmark suite.

926
*********
927
928
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
929
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
930
regular expression.
931
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
932
933
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
934
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
936
937
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
938
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
939
940
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
941
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
942
943
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
944
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
945
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
946
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
947
948
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
949
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
950
951
Improvements
952
************
953
954
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
955
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
956
957
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
958
GUI with out have a console open in the background.

986
987
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
988
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
989
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
990
stable and compatible plugin versions.
991
992
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
993
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
994
appropriately.
995
996
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
997
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
998
bugfixes over 2.2b3.

Compatibility Breaks
1001
********************
1002
1003
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
1004
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
1005
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
1006
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
1007
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
1008
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
1009
1010
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
1011
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
1012
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
1013
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
1014
end.
1015
1016
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
1017
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
1018
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

New Features
1023
************
1024
1025
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1026
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
1027
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)

1029
Bug Fixes
1030
*********
1031
1032
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
1033
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
1034
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
1035
1036
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
1037
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
1038
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
1039
1040
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
1041
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
1042
1043
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
1044
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
1045
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
1046
1047
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
1048
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
1049
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
1050
1051
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
1052
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
1053
1054
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
1055
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1056
1057
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
1058
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1059
1060
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
1061
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
1062
1063
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
1064
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
1065
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
1066
1067
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
1068
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
1069
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
1070
1071
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
1072
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
1073
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
1074
(Robert Collins, #177500)
1075
1076
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
1077
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
1078
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1079
1080
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
1081
1082
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1083
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1084
1085
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
1086
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
1087
1088
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
1089
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
1090
(Martin Pool)
1091
1092
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
1093
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
1094
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
1095
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
1096
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
1097
1098
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
1099
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
1100
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
1101
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
1102
1103
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
1104
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
1105
1106
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
1107
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
1108
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
1109
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
1110
1111
Improvements
1112
************
1113
1114
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
1115
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
1116
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
1117
1118
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
1119
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
1120
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
1121
(Robert Collins, #201613)
1122
1123
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
1124
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
1125
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
1126
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
1127
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
1128
1129
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
1130
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
1131
(Martin Pool, #340394)
1132
1133
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
1134
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
1135
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
1136
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
1137
(Andrew Bennetts)

Documentation
1140
*************
1141
1142
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
1143
1144
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
1145
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
1146
development). (Robert Collins)
1147
1148
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
1149
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
1150
1151
API Changes
1152
***********
1153
1154
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
1155
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
1156
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
1157
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
1160
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
1161
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
1162
(Robert Collins)
1163
1164
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
1165
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
1166
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1167
1168
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
1169
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
1170
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
1171
(Parth Malwankar)
1172
1173
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
1174
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
1175
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
1176
1177
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
1178
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
1179
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
1180
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
1181
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
1182
1183
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
1184
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
1185
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
1186
1187
Internals
1188
*********
1189
1190
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
1191
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
1192
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
1193
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
1194
(Robert Collins)
1195
1196
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
1197
1198
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
1199
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
1200
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
1201
1202
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
1203
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
1204
(Robert Collins)
1205
1206
Testing
1207
*******
1208
1209
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
1210
to test. (Martin Pool)
1211
1212
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

bzr 2.2b3
1216
#########
1217
1218
:2.2b3: 2010-05-28
1219
1220
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
1221
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
1222
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
1223
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
1224
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
1225
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
1226
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
1227
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
1228
support.
1229
1230
Compatibility Breaks
1231
********************
1232
1233
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
1234
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
1235
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
1236
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
1237
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
1238
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
1239
(Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
1242
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
1243
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
1244
1245
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
1246
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
1247
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
1248
1249
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
1250
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
1251
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1252
1253
New Features
1254
************
1255
1256
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
1257
``--show-diff``.
1258
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
1259
1260
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
1261
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
1262
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
1263
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
1264
1265
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
1266
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
1267
pack operation.
1268
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
1269
1270
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
1271
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
1272
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1273
1274
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1275
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
1276
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
1277
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
1278
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1279
1280
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
1281
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
1282
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
1283
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1284
1285
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
1286
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
1287
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
1288
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.

Bug Fixes
1292
*********
1293
1294
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
1295
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
1296
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
1297
1298
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
1299
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
1300
better with sudo.
1301
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
1302
1303
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1304
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1305
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1306
1307
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
1308
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
1309
1310
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
1311
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
1312
difference).
1313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
1314
1315
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
1316
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
1317
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
1318
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
1319
(Robert Collins, #583667)
1320
1321
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
1322
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
1323
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
1324
1325
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
1326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
1327
1328
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
1329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
1330
1331
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
1332
(Aaron Bentley)
1333
1334
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1335
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1336
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1337
Python.
1338
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1339
1340
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
1341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
1342
1343
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1344
versions before 1.6.
1345
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1346
1347
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
1348
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
1349
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
1350
1351
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1352
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1353
1354
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
1355
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
1356
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
1357
1358
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
1359
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
1360
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
1361
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
1362
1363
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
1364
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
1365
to support this efficiently.
1366
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
1367
1368
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
1369
more comprehensible.
1370
(Martin Pool, #491763)
1371
1372
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1373
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1374
1375
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
1376
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
1377
1378
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
1379
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
1380
messages.
1381
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
1382
1383
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
1384
(Robert Collins, #558343)
1385
1386
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1387
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1388
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1389
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1390
1391
Improvements
1392
************
1393
1394
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
1395
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
1396
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
1397
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
1398
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
1399
(case-sensitive) as false.
1400
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
1401
1402
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
1403
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
1404
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
1405
1406
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
1407
be interpreted as a boolean.
1408
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1409
1410
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
1411
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
1412
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
1413
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
1414
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
1415
1416
API Changes
1417
***********
1418
1419
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
1420
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
1421
(Andrew Bennetts)
1422
1423
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
1424
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
1425
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
1426
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
1427
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
1428
implementations.
1429
(Martin Pool)
1430
1431
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
1432
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
1433
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
1434
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
1435
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
1436
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
1437
1438
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
1439
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
1440
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
1441
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
1442
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
1443

* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
1450
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
1451
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug

#########
1493
1494
:2.1.2: 2010-05-28
1495
1496
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and

1508
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1509
1510
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1511
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1512
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1513
Python.
1514
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)

1517
versions before 1.6.

* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1521
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1522
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1523

:2.2b2: 2010-04-16
1552
1553
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
1554

************
1561

1563
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
1564
1565
Bug Fixes
1566
*********
1567
1568
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
1569
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
1570
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
1571
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
1572
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
1573
1574
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
1575
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
1576
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
1577
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
1578
1579
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1580
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1581
1582
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
1583
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
1584
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
1585
1586
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
1587
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
1588
1589
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
1590
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
1591
1592
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
1593
(Martin Pool)
1594
1595
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
1596
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
1597
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
1598
1599
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
1600
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
1601
which is not installed any more" error.
1602
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
1603
1604
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1605
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1606
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1607
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1608
(Andrew Bennetts)
1609
1610
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1611
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1612
-rX..Y.
1613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
1614
1615
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.

Improvements
1619
************
1620
1621
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1622
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1623
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1624
1625
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1626
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1627
(Andrew Bennetts)
1628
1629
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1630
(Andrew Bennetts)
1631
1632
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1633
(Andrew Bennetts)
1634
1635
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1636
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1637
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1638
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1639
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1640
1641
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1642
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1643
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1644

1653
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1654
(Andrew Bennetts)

auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1658
1659
Internals
1660
*********
1661
1662
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1663
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1664
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1665
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.

bzr 2.2b1
1669
#########
1670
1671
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
1672
1673
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1674
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1675
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1676
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1677
1678
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1679
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1680
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1681
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1682
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1683
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1684
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1685
through the 2.2 series.
1686
1687
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1688
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1689
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1690
1691
Compatibility Breaks
1692
********************
1693
1694
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1695
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
1697
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1698
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1699
(Martin Pool)
1700
1701
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1702
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1703
1704
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1705
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1706
1707
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1708
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1709
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1710
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1711
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1712
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1713
1714
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1715
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1716
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1717
1718
New Features
1719
************
1720
1721
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1722
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1723
1724
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1725
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1726
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1727
1728
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1729
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1730
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1731
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1732
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1733
1734
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1735
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows.
1736
(Gordon Tyler, #392428)
1737
1738
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1739
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1740
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1741
1742
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1743
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1744
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1745
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1746
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1747
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1748
1749
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1750
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1751
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1752
1753
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1754
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1755
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1756
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1757
1758
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1759

*********
1763
1764
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1765
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)

* Allow additional arguments to
1768
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1769
1770
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1771
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1772
1773
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1774
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1775
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1776
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1777
1778
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1780
1781
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1782

1783
1784
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1785
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)

1787
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1789
1790
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1791
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1792
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1793
1794
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1795
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1796
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1797
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1798
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1799
1800
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1801
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1803
1804
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1805
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1806
1807
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1808
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1810
1811
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1812
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1813
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1814
1815
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1816
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1817
``add``.
1818
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1819
1820
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1821
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1822
1823
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1824
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1825
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1826
1827
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1828
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1830
1831
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1833
1834
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1835
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1837
1838
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1839
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1840
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1841
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1842
``sock.sendall``).
1843
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1844
1845
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1846
deletion is involved.
1847
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1848
1849
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1850
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1851
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1852
1853
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1854
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1855
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1856
1857
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1858
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1859
1860
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1861
the debugger won't kill the session.
1862
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1863
1864
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1865
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1866
1867
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1868
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1869
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1870
1871

``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1879
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1880
1881

1882
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1883
1884
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1885
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1886
1887
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that

(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1891
1892
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1893
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1894
to be done separately.
1895
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1896
1897
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1898
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1899
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1900
1901
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches

``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1918
1919
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``

1921
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1922
1923
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1924
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1925
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1926
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1927
(Robert Collins)
1928
1929

1930

1931
1932
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1933
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1934
1935
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and

conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1951
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1952
1953
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1954
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1955
dependency regressions.
1956
(Martin Pool)
1957
1958
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1959
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1962
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1963
1964
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1965
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1966
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1967
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1968
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1969
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

2001
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
2002
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
2003
2004
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
2005
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
2006
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
2007
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.

2012
2013
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and

happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2060
a lock.
2061
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2062
2063
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much

2066
repositories.

:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
2100
2101
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
2102
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
2103
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
2104
2105
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
2106
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
2107
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
2108
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
2109
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
2110
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
2111

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.

2122
2123
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
2124
when it encounters conflicts.
2125
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
2126
2127
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
2128
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
2129
2130
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
2131
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
2132
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
2133
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
2134
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
2135
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
2136
2137
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
2138
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
2139
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2152
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2153
2154

2158
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to

``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2160
2161
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
2162
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
2163
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
2164
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
2165
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
2166
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
2167
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
2168
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
2169
2170
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
2171

*********
2176
2177
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
2178
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
2179
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
2180
in ``do_merge``.

2199
2200
API Changes
2201
***********
2202
2203
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
2204
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
2205
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
2206
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
2207
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
2208
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

2217
2218
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
2219
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
2220
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
2221
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
2222
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
2223
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
2224
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
2225
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
2226
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

New Features
2230
************
2231
2232
* Add bug information to log output when available.
2233
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
2234
2235
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
2236
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
2237
particular files.
2238
2239
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
2240
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
2241
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
2242
(Andrew Bennetts)
2243
2244
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
2245
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
2246
2247
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
2248
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
2249
2250
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
2251
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
2252
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
2253
2254
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
2255
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
2256
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
2257
Martin Pool, #45719)
2258
2259
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
2260
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
2261
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
2262
2263
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
2264
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
2265
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
2266
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
2267
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
2268
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
2269
2270
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
2271
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
2272
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
2273
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.

2280
user-specified commit message editor.
2281
(Martin Pool, #504842)
2282
2283
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
2284
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
2285
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
2286
2287
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
2288
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
2289
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
2290
2291
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
2292
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
2293
2294
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2295
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2296
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2297
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2298
another process already removed the file.
2299
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2300
2301
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
2302
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
2303
2304
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
2305
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
2306
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
2307
2308
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
2309
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
2310
2311
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
2312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
2313
2314
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
2315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
2316
2317
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
2318
(Martin Pool, #320035)
2319
2320
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
2321
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
2322
depended on this behaviour.
2323
(Martin Pool, #499757)
2324
2325
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
2326
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
2327
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
2328
should appear up-to-date.)

Improvements
2332
************
2333
2334
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
2335
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
2336
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
2337
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
2338
2339
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
2340
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
2341
2342
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
2343

2344
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2345
2346
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
2347
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
2348
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2349

Documentation
2358

2360
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
2361

2362
2363
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
2364
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
2365
2366
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
2367
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
2368
2369
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
2370
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
2371
2372
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
2373
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
2374
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2375
2376
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
2377

API Changes
2384
***********
2385
2386
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
2387
(Andrew Bennetts)
2388
2389
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
2390
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
2391
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
2392
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
2393
2394
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
2395
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
2396
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
2397
2398
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
2399
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
2400
2401
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
2402
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
2403
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
2404
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
2405
2406
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
2407
parameter.
2408
2409
Internals
2410
*********
2411
2412
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
2413
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
2414
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2415
2416
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
2417
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
2418
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
2419
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
2420
2421
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
2422
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2423
2424
Testing
2425
*******
2426
2427
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
2428
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
2429
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
2430
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
2431
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2432
2433
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
2434
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
2435
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
2436
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
2437
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
2438
suite. (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
2441
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
2442
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2443
2444
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
2445
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

2450
2451
:Codename: smooth sailing
2452
:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
2453
2454
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2455
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2456
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2457
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2458
2459
2460
Bug Fixes
2461
*********
2462
2463
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2464
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2465
2466
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2467
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2468
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2469
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2470
2471
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2472
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2473
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2474
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2475
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2476
2477
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2478
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2479
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2480
2481
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2482
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2483
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2484
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2485
2486
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2487
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2488
2489
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2490
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2491
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2492
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2493
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2494
2495
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2496
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2497
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2498
users, rather than something nicer.
2499
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2500
2501
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2502
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2503
2504
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2505
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2506
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2507
2508
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2509
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2510
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2511
2512
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2513
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2514
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2515
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2516
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2517
2518
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2519
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2520
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2521
2522
Testing
2523
*******
2524
2525
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2526
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2527
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2528
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2538
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2539
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2540
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2541
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
2542
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
2546
********************
2547
2548
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2549
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2550
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2551
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2552
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2553
2554
New Features
2555
************
2556
2557
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2558
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2559
2560
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2561
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2562
2563
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2564
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2565
2566
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2567
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2568
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2569
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2570
lengths.
2571
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2572
2573
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2574
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2575
is installed.

Bug Fixes
2580
*********
2581
2582
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2583
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2584
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2585
2586
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2587
and issues a warning.
2588
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2589
2590
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2591
2592
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2593
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2594
2595
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2596
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2597
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2598
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2599
2600
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2601
2602
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
2603

2609
2610
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2611
2612
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2613
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2614
2615
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2616
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2617
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2618
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2619
windows too.
2620
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
2621
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2622
2623
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2624
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2625
2626
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2627
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2628
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2629
2630
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2631
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2632
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2633
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2634
2635
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2636
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2637
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2638
2639
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2640
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2641
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2642
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2643
2644
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2645
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2655
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2656
2657
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2658
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2659
(John Arbash Meinel)
2660

2662
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2663
Hudson)
2664
2665
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2666
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2667
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2668
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2669
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

2690
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2691
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2692
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2693
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2694
2695
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2696
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2697
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2698
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2699
(John Arbash Meinel)
2700
2701
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2702
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2703
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2704
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2705
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2706
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: after sprint recovery
2748
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2749
2750
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2751
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2752
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2753
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2754
2755
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2756
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2757

2778
2779
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2780
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2781
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2782
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2783
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2784
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2785
2786
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2787
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2788
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2789
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2790

* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2792
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2793
2794
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2795
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2796
2797
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2798
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2799
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2800
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2801
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2802
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2803
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)

* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2817

2818
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2819
overridden by GUIs.

* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2833
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2834
2835
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2836
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2837
2838
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2839
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2840
2841
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2842
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2843
2844
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2845
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2846
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2847
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2848
2849
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2850
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2851
2852
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2853
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2854
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2855
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2856
2857
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2858
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2859
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2860
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2869
2870
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2871
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2872
2873
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2874
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2875
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2876
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2877
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2878
many operations.
2879
2880
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2881
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2882
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2883
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2884
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2885
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)

*********
2889
2890
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2891
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2892
2893
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2894
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2895
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2896
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2897
2898
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2899
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2900
2901
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2902
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2903
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2904
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2905
2906
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2907
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2908
2909
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2910
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)

Improvements
2913
************
2914
2915
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2916
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2917
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2918
(John Arbash Meinel)
2919
2920
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2921

2931
***********
2932
2933
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2934
2935
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2936
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2937

Internals
2940
*********
2941
2942
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2943
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2944
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2945
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2946
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2947
(John Arbash Meinel)
2948
2949
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2950
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2951
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2952
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2953
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2954
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2955
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2956
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2957
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2958
2959
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2960
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2961
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2962
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2963
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2964
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2965
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2966
2967
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2968
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2969
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2970
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
3025
3026
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
3027
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
3028
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
3029
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
3030
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
3031
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
3032
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
3033
3034
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
3035
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
3036
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
3037
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
3041
************
3042
3043
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
3044
(Brian de Alwis)
3045
3046
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
3047
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
3048
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
3049
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
3050
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
3051
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
3052
3053
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
3054
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
3055
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
3056
3057
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
3058
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
3059
method.
3060
3061
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
3062
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
3063
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
3064
3065
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
3066
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
3067
(Arkanes)
3068
3069
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
3070
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
3074
*********
3075
3076
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3077
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3078
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3079
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3080
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3081
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3082
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3083
3084
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3085
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3086
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3087
3088
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3089
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
3090
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
3091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
3092
3093
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
3094
merges are present in the working tree.
3095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
3096
3097
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3098
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3099
3100
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
3101
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
3102
3103
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
3104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
3105
3106
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
3107
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
3108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
3109
3110
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3111
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3112
3113
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
3114
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
3115
3116
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
3117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
3118
3119
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
3120
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.

* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
3127
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
3128
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
3129
3130
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
3131
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
3132
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
3133
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
3134
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
3135
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

3139
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
3140
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
3141

``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

3157
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3158
3159
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
3160
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
3163
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
3164
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
3165
3166
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
3167
(Martin Pool)
3168
3169
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
3170
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
3171
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
3172
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
3173
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
3174
been deprecated.

3184
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
3185
(Andrew Bennetts)
3186
3187
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
3188
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
3189
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
3190
(John Arbash Meinel)

3193
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.

3196
Testing
3197
*******
3198
3199
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
3200
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
3203
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
3204
3205
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
3206
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
3207
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3208
3209

3210
a long time.
3211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
3212
3213
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
3214
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
3215
3216
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
3217
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
3218
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
3221
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
3222
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
3223
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
3224
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
3227
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
3228
3229
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not

* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3248
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.

(Robert Collins, #3918)
3250
3251

3252
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
3253
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
3254
3255
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
3256
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
3257
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
3258
3259
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
3260
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
3261
3262
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
3263
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
3264
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
3265
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
3266
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)

3268
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
3269
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
3270
3271
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
3272
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
3273
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
3274
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
3275
3276
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
3277
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
3278
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
3279
3280
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
3281
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
3282
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
3283
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
3284
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
3285
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
3286
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
3287
3288
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
3289
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3290
3291
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
3292
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
3293
to download the entire cix file many times.
3294
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
3295
3296
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
3297

3313
3314
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
3315
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
3316
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
3317
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
3318
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
3319
existing projects.)
3320
3321
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
3322
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
3323
3324
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3325
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
3326
months or until the following stable release.

3328
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
3329
******************************
3330
3331
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
3332
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
3333
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
3334
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords

plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.

Bug Fixes
3350
*********
3351
3352
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3353
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3354
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3355
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3356
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3357
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3358
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3359
3360
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
3361
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
3362
(Robert Collins, #416732)
3363
3364
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
3365
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
3366
3367
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
3368
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
3369
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3370
3371
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3372
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3373
3374
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
3375
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
3376
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
3377
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
3378
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
3379
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
3380
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
3381
3382
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
3383
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
3384
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
3385
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
3386
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
3387
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
3388
3389
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
3390
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
3391
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3392
3393
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
3394
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
3395
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3396
3397
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
3398
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
3399
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
3400
3401
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3402
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3403
3404
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
3405
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
3406
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

3417
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3418
3419
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
3420
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
3421
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
3422
3423
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
3424
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
3425
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
3438
********************
3439
3440
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3441
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3442
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3443
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3444
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
3445
3446
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
3447

3461
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3462
3463
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3464
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3465
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3466
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3467
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3468

3470
raised by newer versions of pycurl.

3480
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3481
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3482
3483
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3484
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3485
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

3494
3495
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3496
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3497
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3498
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3499
``bazaar.conf``.

* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3506
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3507
3508
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3509
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3510
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3511
3512
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3513
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3514
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3515
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3516
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3517
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)

copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3602
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3616
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3617
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3618
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3619
3620
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK

3622
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)

3626
3627
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3628

3638
3639
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3640
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3641
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3642
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to

* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3646
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For

3703
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3704
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3705
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3706
3707
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3708
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3709
or until the following stable release.
3710
3711
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.

New Features
3714
************
3715
3716
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3717
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3718
3719
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3720
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.

3723
Bug Fixes
3724
*********
3725
3726
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3727
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3728
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3729
3730
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3731
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3732
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3733
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3734
3735
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3736
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3737
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3738
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3739
3740
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3741
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3742
3743
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3744
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3745
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3746
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3747
3748
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3749
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3750
3751
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3752
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3753
3754
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3755
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3756
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3757
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3758
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3759
3760
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3761
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3762
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3763
3764
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3765
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3766
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3767
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3768
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3769
3770
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3771
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3772
3773
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3774
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3775
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3776
3777
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3778
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3779
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3780
3781
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3782
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3783
3784
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3785
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3786
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3787
3788
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3789
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3790
3791
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3792
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3793
3794
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3795
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3796
3797
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3798
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3799
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3800
3801
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3802
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3803
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3804
3805
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3806
3807
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3808
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3809
3810
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3811
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3812
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3813
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3814
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3815
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3816
3817
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3818
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3819
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3820
3821
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3822
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3823
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3824
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3825
3826
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3827
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3828
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3829
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3830
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3831
3832
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3833
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3834
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3835
3836
Improvements
3837
************
3838
3839
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3840
(Marius Kruger)
3841
3842
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3843
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3844
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3845
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3846
3847
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3848
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
3849

*************
3853
3854
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3855
3856
API Changes
3857
***********
3858
3859
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3860
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3861
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3862
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3863
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3864
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3865
3866
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3867
(Aaron Bentley)
3868
3869
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3870
(Martin Pool)
3871
3872
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3873
UIFactory.
3874
(Martin Pool)
3875
3876
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3877
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3878
3879
Internals
3880
*********
3881
3882
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3883
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3884
paths. (Robert Collins)
3885
3886
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3887
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3888
3889
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3890
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3891
disk. (Robert Collins)
3892
3893
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3894
it. (Robert Collins)
3895
3896
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3897
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3898
(Alexander Belchenko)

3901
Testing
3902
*******
3903
3904
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3905
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3906
3907
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3908
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3909
3910
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3911
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3912
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3913
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3914
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3915
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3937
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3938
stable".
3939
3940
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3941
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3942
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3943
annoying progress bar artifacts.

3945
3946
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3947
*********************************
3948
3949
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3950
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3951
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3952
3953
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3954
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3955
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3956
3957
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3958
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3959
3960
3961
Compatibility Breaks
3962
********************
3963
3964
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3965
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3966
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
3967

New Features
3971
************
3972
3973
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3974
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3975
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3976
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3977
3978
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3979
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3980
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3981
3982
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3983
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3984
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3985
behavior.
3986
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3987
3988
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3989
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3990
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3991
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
3995
*********
3996
3997
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3998
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3999
4000
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
4001
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
4002
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
4003
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
4004
4005
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
4006
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
4007
4008
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
4009
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
4010
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
4011
4012
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
4013
(Martin Pool, #321935)
4014
4015
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
4016
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
4017
4018
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
4019
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
4020
4021
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
4022
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
4023
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
4024
4025
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
4026
(Ian Clatworthy)
4027
4028
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
4029
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
4030
4031
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
4032
of a remote repository.
4033
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
4034
4035
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
4036
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
4037
(Andrew Bennetts)
4038
4039
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
4040
transforms.
4041
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
4042
4043
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
4044
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
4045
4046
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
4047
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
4048
4049
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
4050
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
4051
(Martin Pool, #339385)
4052
4053
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
4054
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
4055
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
4056
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
4057
(John Arbash Meinel)
4058
4059
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
4060
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
4061
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
4062
4063
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
4064
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
4065
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
4066
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
4067
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
4068
(Robert Collins, #376243)
4069
4070
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
4071
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
4072
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
4073
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
4074
activity display respectively.
4075
(Martin Pool, #340347)
4076
4077
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
4078
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
4079
4080
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
4081
(Martin Pool)
4082
4083
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.

Internals
4088
*********
4089
4090
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
4091
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
4092
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
4093
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
4094
4095
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
4096
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
4097
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
4098
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
4099
(Robert Collins)
4100
4101
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
4102
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
4103
4104
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
4105
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
4106
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
4107
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
4108
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
4109
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4110
4111
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
4112
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
4113
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
4114
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
4115
4116
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
4117
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
4118
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
4119
(John Arbash Meinel)
4120
4121
4122
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
4123
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
4124
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
4125
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
4126
4127
4128
Improvements
4129
************
4130
4131
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
4132
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
4133
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
4134
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4135
4136
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
4137
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
4138
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
4139
4140
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
4141
(Benoît PIERRE)
4142
4143
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
4144
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
4145
4146
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
4147

4148
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4149
4150
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output

4183
4184
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
4185
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
4186
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
4187
intermittently.
4188
4189
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
4190
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
4191
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
4192
4193
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
4194
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.

Bug Fixes
4197
*********
4198
4199
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
4200
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4201
4202
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
4203
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
4204
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
4205
4206
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
4207
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
4208
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
4209
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
4210
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
4211
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
4212
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4213
4214
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
4215
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
4216
converted data. (Robert Collins)
4217
4218
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
4219
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
4220
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
4221
4222
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
4223
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
4224
that. (Robert Collins)
4225
4226
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
4227
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
4228
repository. (Robert Collins)
4229
4230
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
4231
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
4232
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
4233
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
4274
************
4275
4276
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
4277
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
4278
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
4279
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
4280
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
4281
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
4282
in bzr 2.0.
4283
4284
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
4285
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
4286
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
4287
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
4288
4289
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
4290
and more concisely repacks the full history.
4291
4292
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
4293
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
4294
4295
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
4296
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
4297
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
4298
4299
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
4300
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)

Improvements
4303
************
4304
4305
4306
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
4307
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
4308
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4309
4310
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
4311
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
4312
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
4313
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
4314
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
4315
4316
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
4317
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
4318
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
4319
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
4320
4321
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
4322
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
4323
* diff (2X faster)
4324
* tags (70X faster)
4325
4326
(Ian Clatworthy)
4327
4328
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
4329
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
4330
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

4337
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.

4339
4340
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
4341
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
4342
4343
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
4344
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
4345
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
4346
4347
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
4348
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
4349
4350
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
4351
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
4352
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
4353
4354
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
4355
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
4356
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
4357
(John Arbash Meinel)
4358
4359
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
4360
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)

* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
4363

4365
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
4366
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
4367
4368
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
4369
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
4370
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
4371
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
4372
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
4373
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
4374
bug-free) methods.
4375
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
4376
4377
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
4378
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
4379
4380
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
4381
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
4382
4383
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
4384
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
4385
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
4386
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
4387
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
4388
4389
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4390
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4391
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4392
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

4559
4560
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4561
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4562
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4563
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4564
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4565
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4566
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4567
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4568
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4569
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4570
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4571
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4572
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4573
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)

4609
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4610
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4611
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4612
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4613
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4614
4615
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4616
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4617
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4618
4619
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4620
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4621
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4622
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4623
4624
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4625
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4626
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4627
4628
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4629
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4630
4631
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4632
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4633
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4634
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4635
4636
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4637
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4638
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4639
4640
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4641
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4642
4643
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4644
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4645
branches. (Robert Collins)
4646
4647
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4648
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4649
4650
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4651
4652
Testing
4653
*******
4654
4655
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4656
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4707
********************
4708
4709
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4710
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4711
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4712
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4713
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4714
4715
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4716
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4717
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4718
4719
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4720
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4721
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4722
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4723
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4724
4725
New Features
4726
************
4727
4728
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4729
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4730
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4731
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4732
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4733
(Ian Clatworthy)
4734
4735
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4736
(Aaron Bentley)
4737
4738
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4739
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4740
4741
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4742
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4743
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4744
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4745
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4746
4747
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4748
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4749
4750
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4751
(Aaron bentley)
4752
4753
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4754
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4755
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4756
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4757
(Ian Clatworthy)
4758
4759
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4760
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4761
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4762
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4763
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4764
4765
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4766
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4767
(Ian Clatworthy)
4768
4769
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4770
(Aaron Bentley)
4771
4772
Improvements
4773
************
4774
4775
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4776
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4777
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4778
4779
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4780
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4781
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4782
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4783
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4784
4785
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4786
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4787
(Ian Clatworthy)
4788
4789
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4790
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4791
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4792
4793
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4794
(Ian Clatworthy)
4795
4796
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4797
(Ian Clatworthy)
4798
4799
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4800
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4801
4802
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4803
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4804
4805
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4806
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4807
4808
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4809
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4810
#294479)
4811
4812
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4813
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4814
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4815
4816
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4817
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4818
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4819
(Ian Clatworthy)
4820
4821
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4822
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4823
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4824
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4825
4826
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4827
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4828
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4829
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4830
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4831
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4832
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4833
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4834
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4835
4836
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
4840
*********
4841
4842
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4843
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4844
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4845
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4846
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4847
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4848
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4849
4850
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4851
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4852
4853
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4854
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4855
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4856
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4857
4858
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4859
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4860
4861
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4862
4863
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4864
#313028)
4865
4866
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4867
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4868
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4869
4870
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4871
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4872
4873
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4874
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4875
4876
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4877
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4878
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4879
4880
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4881
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4882
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4883
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4884
4885
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4886
4887
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4889
4890
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4891
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4892
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4893
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4894
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4895
4896
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4897
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4898
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4899
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4900
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4901
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4902
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4903
4904
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4905
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4906
4907
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4908
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4909
(Andrea Bolognani)
4910
4911
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4912
(James Westby, #341558)
4913
4914
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4915
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4916
4917
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4918
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4919
4920
Documentation
4921
*************
4922
4923
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4924
4925
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4926
4927
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
4931
***********
4932
4933
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4934
(Martin Pool)
4935
4936
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4937
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4938
(Robert Collins)
4939
4940
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4941
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4942
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4943
4944
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4945
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4946
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4947
4948
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4949
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4950
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4951
4952
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4953
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4954
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4955
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4956
(Ian Clatworthy)
4957
4958
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4959
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4960
(Jean-Francois Roy)
4961
4962
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4963
(Martin Pool)
4964
4965
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4966
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4967
4968
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4969
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4970
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4971
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4972
4973
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4974
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4975
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4976
4977
Testing
4978
*******
4979
4980
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4981
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4982
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4983
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4984
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4985
4986
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4988
4989
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4990
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4991
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4992
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4993
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4994
4995
Internals
4996
*********
4997
4998
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4999
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5000
5001
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
5002
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5003
5004
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
5005
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
5006
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5007
5008
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
5009
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
5010
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
5011
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5012
5013
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
5014
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
5015
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
5016
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5017
5018
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
5019
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
5020
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5021
5022
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
5023
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
5024
dependency. (Robert Collins)
5025
5026
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
5027
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
5028
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5029
5030
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
5031
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
5032
(Robert Collins)
5033
5034
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
5035
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
5036
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
5037
5038
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
5039
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5040
5041
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
5042
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
5043
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5044
5045
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
5046
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
5047
(Jelmer Vernooij)
5048
5049
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
5050
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
5051
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5052
5053
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
5054
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
5055
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
5056
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
5057
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
5058
5059
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
5060
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
5061
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
5062
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5063
5064
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
5065
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
5066
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
5067
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5068
5069
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
5070
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
5071
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5072
5073
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
5074
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
5075
(Andrew Bennetts)
5076
5077
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
5078
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
5079
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
5080
5081
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
5082
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
5083
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
5084
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
5085
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
5086
5087
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
5088
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
5089
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
5090
Vincent Ladeuil)
5091
5092
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
5093
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
5094
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
5095
desired. (Robert Collins)
5096
5097
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
5098
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
5099
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
5100
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5101
5102
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
5103
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
5104
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
5121
*****************************
5122
5123
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
5124
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
5125
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
5126
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
5127
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
5128
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
5129
appeared now.

New Features
5178
************
5179
5180
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
5181
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
5182
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
5183
5184
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
5185
(Martin Pool)
5186
5187
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
5188
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
5189
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
5190
(Ian Clatworthy)
5191
5192
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
5193
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
5194
5195
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
5196
(John Arbash Meinel)
5197
5198
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
5199
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
5200
5201
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
5202
5203
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
5204
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
5205
(Jonathan Lange)
5206
5207
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
5208
(Jonathan Lange)
5209
5210
Improvements
5211
************
5212
5213
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
5214
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
5215
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
5216
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
5217
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
5218
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
5219
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
5220
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
5221
(Robert Collins)
5222
5223
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
5224
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
5225
5226
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
5227
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
5228
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
5229
5230
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
5231
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
5232
5233
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
5234
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
5235
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
5236
(Ian Clatworthy)
5237
5238
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
5239
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
5240
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5241
5242
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
5243
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
5244
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
5245
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5246
5247
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
5248
(Jelmer Vernooij)
5249
5250
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
5251
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
5252
5253
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
5254
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
5255
5256
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
5257
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
5258
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
5259
5260
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
5261
5262
Bug Fixes
5263
*********
5264
5265
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
5266
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
5267
5268
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
5269
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
5270
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
5271
5272
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
5273
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
5274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
5275
5276
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
5277
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
5278
5279
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
5280
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
5281
Vernooij, #315048)
5282
5283
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
5284
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
5285
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
5286
5287
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
5288
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
5289
5290
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
5291
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
5292
5293
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
5294
(James Westby, #174539)
5295
5296
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
5297
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
5298
5299
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
5300
error branching from old repositories.
5301
(Martin Pool, #321695)
5302
5303
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
5304
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
5305
5306
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
5307
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
5308
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
5309
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5310
5311
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
5312
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
5313
#334808)
5314
5315
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
5316
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
5317
5318
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
5319
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
5320
5321
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
5322
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
5323
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5324
5325
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
5326
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
5327
5328
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.

5336
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
5337
(Ian Clatworthy)
5338
5339
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
5340
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
5341
5342
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
5346
***********
5347
5348
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
5349
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
5350
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
5351
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
5352
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
5353
5354
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
5355
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5356
5357
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
5358
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
5359
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
5360
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
5361
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
5362
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
5363
5364
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
5365
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
5366
5367
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
5368
"author" argument being deprecated.
5369
5370
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
5371
5372
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
5373
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
5374
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
5375
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
5376
5377
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
5378
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
5379
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
5380
5381
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
5382
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
5383
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
5384
5385
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
5386
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
5387
5388
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
5389
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
5390
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
5391
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
5392
5393
Internals
5394
*********
5395
5396
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
5397
free of virtual file system methods.
5398
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5399
5400
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
5401
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
5402
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
5403
5404
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
5405
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
5406
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
5407
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
5408
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
5409
(Robert Collins, #334187)
5410
5411
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
5412
5413
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
5414
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
5415
5416
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5417
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5418
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5419
stream the operation.
5420
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5421
5422
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5423
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5424
5425
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5426
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5427
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5428
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5429
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5430
5431
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5432
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5433
5434
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5435
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5436
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5437
5438
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5439
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5440
(Robert Collins)
5441
5442
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5443
(Robert Collins)
5444
5445
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5446
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5447
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5448
5449
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5450
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5451
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5452
5453
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5454
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5455
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5456
5457
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5458
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5459
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5460
5461
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5462
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5463
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5464
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5465
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5466
5467
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5468
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5469
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5470
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5471
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5472
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5473
5474
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5475
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5476
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5477
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5478
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5479
5480
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5481
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5482
5483
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5484
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5485
5486
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5487
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5488
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5489
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5490
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5491
5492
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5493
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

5504
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5505
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5506
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5507
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5508
by showing the rate of network IO.

5510
Changes from RC1 to Final
5511
*************************
5512
5513
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5514
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5515
5516
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5517
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5518
5519
Compatibility Breaks
5520
********************
5521
5522
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5523
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5524
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5525
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5526
5527
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5528
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5529
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5530
(Ian Clatworthy)
5531
5532
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5533
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5534
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5535
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5536
5537
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5538
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5539
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5540
(Ian Clatworthy)
5541
5542
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5543
5544
New Features
5545
************
5546
5547
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5548
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5549
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5550
(Marius Kruger)
5551
5552
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5553
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5554
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5555
5556
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5557
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5558
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5559
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5560
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5561
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5562
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5563
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5564
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5565
(Ian Clatworthy)
5566
5567
Improvements
5568
************
5569
5570
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5571
(Daniel Watkins)
5572
5573
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5574
(Marius Kruger)
5575
5576
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5577
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5578
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5579
5580
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5581
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5582
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5583
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5584
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5585
5586
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5587
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5588
5589
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5590
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5591
level for better precision.
5592
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5593
5594
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5595
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5596
5597
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5598
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5599
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5600
5601
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5602
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5603
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5604
(Andrew Bennetts)
5605
5606
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5607
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5608
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5609
5610
Bug Fixes
5611
*********
5612
5613
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5614
anymore.
5615
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5616
5617
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5618
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5619
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5620
5621
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5622
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5623
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5624
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5625
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5626
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5627
5628
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5629
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5630
5631
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5632
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5633
5634
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5635
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5636
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5637
5638
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5639
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5640
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5641
(Andrew Bennetts)
5642
5643
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5644
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5645
5646
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5647
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5648
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5649
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5650
5651
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5652
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5653
handled.
5654
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5655
5656
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
5657
5658

5659
*************
5660
5661
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5662
5663
API Changes
5664
***********
5665
5666
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5667
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5668
(Martin Pool)
5669
5670
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5671
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5672
5673
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5674
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5675
5676
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5677
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5678
5679
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5680
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5681
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5682
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5683
5684
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5685
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5686
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5687
5688
Internals
5689
*********
5690
5691
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5692
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5693
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5694
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5695
compile buffers, are such an example).
5696
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5697
5698
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5699
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5700
(Ian Clatworthy)
5701
5702
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5703
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5704
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5705
(Ian Clatworthy)
5706
5707
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5708
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5709
5710
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5711
formatters to retrict the output.

:Released: 2009-01-19
5720
5721
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5722
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5723
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5724
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5725
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5726
5727
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5728
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5729
advice.
5730
5731
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5732
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

Changes
5752
*******
5753
5754
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5755
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5756
5757
New Features
5758
************
5759
5760
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5761
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5762
5763
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5764
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5765
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5766
implement other plugins.
5767
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5768
5769
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
5770
(Aaron Bentley)
5771
5772
Improvements
5773
************
5774
5775
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5776
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5777
5778
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5779
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5780
5781
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5782
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5783
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5784
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5785
(Mark Hammond)
5786
5787
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5788
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5789
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5790
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5791
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5792
5793
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5794
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5795
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5796
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5797
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
5798
5799
Bug Fixes
5800
*********
5801
5802
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5803
control directory. (#139691)
5804
5805
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5806
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5807
5808
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5809
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5810
5811
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5812
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5813
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
5814
5815
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
5816
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
5817
5818
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
5819
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5820
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5821
5822
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
5823
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
5824
5825
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
5826
(Jari Aalto)
5827
5828
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
5829
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
5830
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
5831
5832
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5833
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5834
5835
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5836
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5837
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5838
5839
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5840
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5841
in the appropriate sections.
5842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5843
5844
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
5845
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5846
(John Arbash meinel)
5847
5848
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
5850
5851
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
5852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
5853
5854
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
5855
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5856
5857
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5858
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
5859
work better with how it splits its requests.
5860
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
5861
5862
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5863
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5864
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5865
5866
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
5867
(Aaron Bentley)
5868
5869
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
5870
5871
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
5872
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
5873
5874
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles

Documentation
5878
*************
5879
5880
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
5881
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
5882
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
5883
(Ian Clatworthy)
5884
5885
API Changes
5886
***********
5887
5888
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5889
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5890
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5891
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5892
5893
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5894
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5895
5896
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5897
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5898
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5899
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5900
5901
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5902
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5903
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5904
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5905
5906
Testing
5907
*******
5908
5909
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5910
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5911
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5912
5913
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5914
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5915
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5916
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5917
5918
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5919
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5920
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
5921

5923
Internals
5924
*********
5925
5926
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
5927
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5928
(John Arbash Meinel)
5929
5930
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5931
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5932
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5933
(John Arbash Meinel)
5934
5935
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5936
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5937
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5938
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5939
5940
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5941
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5942
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5943
5944
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5945
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5946
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5947
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5948
5949
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5950
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5951
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5952
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5953
(John Arbash Meinel)
5954
5955
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5956
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5957
5958
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5959
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5960
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5961
5962
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5963
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5964
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete

5966
5967
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5968
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5969
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5970
(John Arbash Meinel)
5971
5972
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5973
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5974
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5975
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5976
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5977
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5978
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5979
5980
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function

5990
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5991
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5992
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5993
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5994
implementation.
5995
5996
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.

*********
6000
6001
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
6002
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
6003
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
6004
(Martin Pool, #303856)
6005
6006
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
6007
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
6008
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
6009
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
6010
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

:Released: 2008-11-28
6017
6018
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
6019
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
6020
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
6021
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
6022
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features
6025
************
6026
6027
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
6028
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6029
6030
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
6034
************
6035
6036
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
6037
history just to set the last revision info.
6038
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6039
6040
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
6041
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
6042
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
6043
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6044
6045
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
6046
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
6047
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
6048
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
6049
(John Arbash Meinel)
6050
6051
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
6052
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6053
6054
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
6055
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
6056
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
6057
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
6058
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
6059
6060
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
6061
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
6062
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
6063
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

6065
Bug Fixes
6066
*********
6067
6068
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
6069
(Martin Pool, #289148)
6070
6071
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
6072
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
6073
6074
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
6075
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
6076
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
6077
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
6078
6079
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
6080
starting with a dotted revno.
6081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
6082
6083
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
6084
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
6085
(Martin Pool, #288751)
6086
6087
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
6088
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
6089
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6090
6091
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
6092
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
6093
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
6094
6095
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
6096
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
6097
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
6098
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
6099
6100
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
6101
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
6102
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
6103
6104
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

6107
API Changes
6108
***********
6109
6110
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
6111
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
6112
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
6113
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
6114
6115
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
6116
have changed incompatibly.
6117
6118
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
6119
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
6120
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
6121
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
6122
don't need to change.
6123
6124
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
6125
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

:Released: 2008-11-07
6140
6141
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
6142
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
6143
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
6144
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
6145
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
6146
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
6147
6148
Bug Fixes

*********
6150

* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
6152

6153
6154
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)

6169
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
6170
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
6171
6172
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
6173
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
6174
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
6175
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
6176
6177
Improvements
6178
************
6179
6180
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
6181
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
6182
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
6183
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
6184
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
6185
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
6186
6187
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
6188
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6189
6190
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
6191
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
6192
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
6193
6194
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
6195
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
6196
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
6197
(Andrew Bennetts)
6198
6199
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
6200
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
6201
6202
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
6203
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
6204
6205
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
6206
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
6207
6208
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
6209
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
6210
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
6211
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
6212
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
6213
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
6214
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
6215
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
6216
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
6217
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
6220
*********
6221
6222
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
6223
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
6224
6225
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
6226
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
6227
6228
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
6229
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
6230
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
6231
6232
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
6233
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
6234
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
6235
6236
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
6237
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
6238
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
6239
6240
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
6241
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
6242
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
6243
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
6244
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
6245
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
6246
6247
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
6248
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
6249
6250
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
6251
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
6252
6253
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
6254
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
6255
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
6256
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
6257
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6258
6259
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6260
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6261
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

*******
6312
6313
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
6314
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
6315
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
6316
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
6317
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)

6320
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)

6324
6325
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
6326
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
6327
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
6328
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with

* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
6345
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
6346
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
6347
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
6348
6349
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
6350
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
6351
(Daniel Watkins)
6352
6353

6354
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
6366
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
6367
6368
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
6369
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
6370
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
6371
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
6372
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
6373
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
6374
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
6375
operations. (Robert Collins)

6377
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
6378

* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
6380

6586
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown

************
6616
6617
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6618
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6619
(Martin Pool)
6620
6621
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6622
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6623
6624
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6625
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6626
(Marius Kruger)
6627
6628
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6629
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6630
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6631
(John Arbash Meinel)
6632
6633
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6634
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6635
6636
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6637
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6638
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6639
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6640
(John Arbash Meinel)
6641
6642
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6643
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6644
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6645
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6646
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6647
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6648
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6649
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6650
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6651
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6657
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6658
6659
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6660
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6661
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6662
6663
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6664
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6665
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6666
6667
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6668
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6669
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6670
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6671
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6672
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6673
6674
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6675
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6676
6677
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6678
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6679
6680
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6681
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6682
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6683
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6684
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6685
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #255204)
6686
6687
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6688
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6689
6690
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6691
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6692
6693
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6694
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6695
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6696
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6697
6698
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6699
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6700
6701
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6702
assuming the host name is ascii.
6703

(Robert Collins)
6757
6758
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6759
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6760
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6761
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6762
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

6765
is unknown in both source and target.
6766
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6767
6768
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6769
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6770
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6771
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6772
6773
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6774
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6775
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6776
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

6804
############
6805
6806
:Released: 2008-08-29
6807
6808
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6809
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6810
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6811
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6812
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6813
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6814
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6815
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6816
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6817
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6818
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6819
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6820
6821
Bug Fixes
6822
*********
6823
6824
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6825
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6826
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6827
start of the string (causing more copies).
6828
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6829
especially for projects with large files.
6830
(John Arbash Meinel)
6831
6832
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6833
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6834
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6835
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6836
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6837
6838
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6839
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6840
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6841
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6842
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
6852
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6853
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6854
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6855
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6856
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6857
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6858
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6859
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
6920
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
6921
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
6922
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
6923
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

Bug Fixes
6935
*********
6936
6937
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
6938
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
6939
6940
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
6941
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
6942
(Aaron Bentley)
6943
6944
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
6945
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
6946
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
6947
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
6948
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
6949
6950
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
6951
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6952
6953
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6954
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6955
6956
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6957
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6958
6959
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6960
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6961
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6962
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6963
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6964
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

6972
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6973
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6974
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6975
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6976
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6977
6978
Changes
6979
*******
6980
6981
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6982
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6983
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6984
6985
Improvements
6986
************
6987
6988
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6989
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6990
6991
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6992
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6993
6994
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6995
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6996
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6997
6998
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6999
(James Westby)
7000
7001
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
7002
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
7003
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
7004
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
7005
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
7006
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
7007
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7008
7009
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
7010
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
7011
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
7012
7013
Bug Fixes
7014
*********
7015
7016
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
7017
physical repository boundaries.
7018
(Martin Pool, #252428)
7019
7020
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
7021
(Martin Pool, #206258)
7022
7023
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
7024
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
7025
(Martin Pool)
7026
7027
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
7028
(Ian Clatworthy)
7029
7030
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
7031
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
7032
that Python is running from.
7033
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
7034
7035
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
7036
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
7037
(Robert Collins, #150438)
7038
7039
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
7040
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
7041
7042
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
7043
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
7044
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
7045
7046
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
7047
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
7048
7049
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.

7052
API Changes
7053
***********
7054
7055
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
7056
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
7057
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
7058
(Robert Collins)
7059
7060
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
7061
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
7062
(Robert Collins)
7063
7064
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
7065
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
7066
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
7067
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
7068
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
7069
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
7070
(Robert Collins)
7071
7072
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
7073
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7074
7075
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
7076
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
7077
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
7078
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
7079
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
7080
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
7081
7082
Internals
7083
*********
7084
7085
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
7086
putting together a real history without having to create a full
7087
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
7088
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
7089
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
7090
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7091
7092
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
7093
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
7094
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
7095
7096
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
7097
(Ian Clatworthy)
7098
7099
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
7100
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
7101
7102
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

7109
:Released: 2008-07-17
7110
7111
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
7112
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
7113
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
7114
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
7115
bug fixes.
7116
7117
Features
7118
********
7119
7120
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
7121
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
7122
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
7123
7124
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
7125
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
7126
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
7127
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
7128
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
7129
(Ian Clatworthy)
7130
7131
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
7132
7133
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
7134
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
7135
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
7136
(Robert Collins)
7137
7138
Improvements
7139
************
7140
7141
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
7142
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
7143
(Martin Pool)
7144
7145
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
7146
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
7147
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
7148
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
7149
7150
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
7151
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
7152
(Christophe Troestler)
7153
7154
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
7155
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
7156
7157
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
7158
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
7159
faster. The new request method name is
7160
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7161
7162
Bug Fixes
7163
*********
7164
7165
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
7166
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
7167
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
7168
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
7169
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
7170
7171
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
7172
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
7173
7174
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
7175
requires a branch to be present.
7176
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
7177
7178
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
7179
loaded.
7180
(Martin Pool, #205230)
7181
7182
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
7183
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
7184
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
7185
(Martin Pool, #240161)
7186
7187
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
7188
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
7189
7190
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
7191
name contains an @.
7192
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
7193
7194
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
7195
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
7196
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
7197
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
7198
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
7199
7200
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
7201
(Martin Pool, #172870)
7202
7203
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
7204
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
7205
7206
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
7207
Cygwin Bazaar.
7208
(Matt McClure, #209281)
7209
7210
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
7211
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)

7228
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
7229
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
7230
7231
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
7232
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
7233
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
7234
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
7235
7236
API Changes
7237
***********
7238
7239
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
7240
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
7241
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
7242
Repository docstring for more details.
7243
(Robert Collins)
7244
7245
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
7246
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
7247
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
7248
7249
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
7250
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
7251
(Daniel Watkins)
7252
7253
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
7254
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
7255
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
7256
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

7260
7261
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
7262
(Alexander Belchenko)
7263
7264
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
7265
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
7266
containing a given location.
7267
(Daniel Watkins)
7268
7269
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
7270
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
7271
storage. (Robert Collins)
7272
7273
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
7274
(Robert Collins)
7275
7276
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,

7293
7294
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
7295
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
7296
reading from the repository.)
7297
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)

7306
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
7307
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
7308
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
7309
7310
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
7311
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
7312
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
7313
7314
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
7315
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
7316
7317
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
7318
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a

``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

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

7374
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
7375

Notes When Upgrading
7381
********************
7382
7383
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
7384
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
7385
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
7386
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
7387
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
7388
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
7389
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

7408
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
7409
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
7410
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
7411
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7412
7413
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
7414
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
7415
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7416
7417
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7418
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7419
7420
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7421
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7422
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7423
7424
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7425
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7426
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7427
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7428
step closer to not using full revision history.

7443
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://

7446

***********
7526
7527
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7528
instead. (Martin Pool)
7529
7530
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7531
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7532
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7533
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7534
7535
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7536
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7537
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7538
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7539
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7540
7541
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7542
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7543
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7544
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7545
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7546
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7547
7548
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7549
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7550
(Martin Pool)
7551
7552
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7553
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7554
(Robert Collins)
7555
7556
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7557
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7558
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7559
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7560
7561
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7562
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7563
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7564
7565
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7566
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7567
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7568
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7569
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7570
(Martin Pool)
7571
7572
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7573
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7574
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7575
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7576
(Robert Collins)
7577
7578
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7579
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7580
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7581
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7582
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7583
7584
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

7867
7868
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
7869
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7870
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
7871
7872
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
7873

Improvements
7881
************
7882
7883
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7884
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7885
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7886
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7887
7888
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7889
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7890
7891
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7892
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7893
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7894
Wouter van Heyst)
7895
7896
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7897
(Chad Miller)
7898
7899
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7900
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7901
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7902
7903
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7904
(Aaron Bentley)
7905
7906
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7907
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7908
7909
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7910
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7911
7912
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7913
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7914
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7915
7916
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7917
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7918
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7919
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7920
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7921
7922
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7923
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7924
7925
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7926
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7927

Bugfixes
7929
********
7930
7931
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7932
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7933
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7934
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7935
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7936
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7937
7938
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7939
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7940
7941
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7942
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7943
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7944
7945
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7946
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7947
7948
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7949
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7950
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7951
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7952
7953
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7954
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7955
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7956
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7957
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7958
7959
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7960
7961
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7962
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7963
7964
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7965
7966
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7967
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7968
7969
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

7985
7986
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7987
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7988
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7989
7990
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7991
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7992
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7993
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7994
7995
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7996
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7997
release. (James Westby)
7998
7999
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
8000
(Andrew Bennetts)
8001
8002
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
8003
8004
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
8005
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8006
8007
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
8008
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8009
8010
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
8011
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
8012
8013
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
8014
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
8015
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
8016
8017
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
8018
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
8019
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
8020
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
8021
8022
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
8023
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
8024
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
8025
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
8026
8027
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
8028
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
8029
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
8030
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
8031
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
8032
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
8033
8034
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
8035
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
8036
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
8037
8038
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
8039
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8040
8041
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
8042
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
8043
(Robert Collins)
8044
8045
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
8046
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
8047
8048
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
8049
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
8050
8051
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
8052
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
8053
8054
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
8055
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
8056
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
8057
8058
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
8059
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
8060
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
8061
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
8062
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
8063
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
8064
8065
Testing
8066
*******
8067
8068
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
8069
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
8070
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
8071
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
8072
8073
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
8074
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
8075
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
8076
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
8077
implement this).
8078
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8079
8080
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
8081
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
8082
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8083
8084
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
8085
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
8088
8089
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
8090
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
8091
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)

8098
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
8099
(Martin Albisetti)
8100
8101
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
8102
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
8103
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
8104
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
8105
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
8106
(Martin Pool, #109520)
8107
8108
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
8109
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
8110
8111
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
8112
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
8113
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
8114

8117

8174
8175
Changes
8176
*******
8177
8178
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
8179
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
8180
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
8181
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
8182
(Robert Collins)
8183
8184
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
8185
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
8186
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
8187
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
8188
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
8189
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
8190
8191
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
8192
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
8193
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
8194

8195
8196
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)

************
8213
8214
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
8215
8216
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8217
8218
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
8219
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
8220
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
8221
8222
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
8223
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
8224
8225
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
8226
to. (Daniel Watkins)
8227
8228
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
8229
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
8230
(Alexander Belchenko)
8231
8232
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
8233
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
8234
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
8235
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
8236
8237
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
8238
(Daniel Watkins)
8239
8240
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
8241
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
8242
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
8243
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
8244
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
8252
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

8346

Notes When Upgrading
8370
********************
8371
8372
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
8373
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
8374
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
8375
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
8376
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
8377
(Andrew Bennetts)
8378
8379
Changes
8380
*******
8381
8382
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
8383
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
8384
8385
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
8386
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
8387
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
8388
8389
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
8390
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
8391
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
8392
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
8393
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
8394
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
8395
(Aaron Bentley)
8396
8397
Features
8398
********
8399
8400
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
8401
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8402
8403
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
8404
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
8405
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
8406
(Robert Collins)
8407
8408
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
8409
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
8410
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
8411
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
8412
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
8413
8414
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
8415
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
8416
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8417
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8418
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8419
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8420
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8421
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
8422
8423
Improvements
8424
************
8425
8426
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8427
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8428
8429
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8430
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8431
8432
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8433
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8434
8435
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8436
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8437
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8438
8439
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8440
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

Bugfixes
8444
********
8445
8446
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8447
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8448
8449
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8450
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8451
8452
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8453
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8454
8455
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8456
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8457
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8458
8459
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8460
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8461
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8462
8463
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8464
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8465
8466
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8467
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8468
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8469
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8470
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8471
unittest runner.
8472
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8473
8474
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8475
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8476
#185907)
8477
8478
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8479
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8480
8481
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8482
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8483
8484
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8486
8487
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8488
more characters which should be considered valid.
8489
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8490
8491
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8492
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8493
8494
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8495
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
8496
8497
API Breaks
8498
**********
8499
8500
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8501
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8502
8503
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8504
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8505
(Martin Pool)
8506
8507
Testing
8508
*******
8509
8510
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8511
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8512
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8513
8514
Internals
8515
*********
8516
8517
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8518
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8519
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8520
8521
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8522
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8523
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8524
8525
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8526
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8527
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8528
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8529
8530
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8531
8532
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8533
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8534
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8535
server. (Robert Collins)
8536
8537
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8538
operate. (Robert Collins)
8539
8540
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8541
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8542
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8543
8544
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8545
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8546
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8547
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8548
8549
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8550
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8551
8552
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8553
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8554
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8555
8556
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8557
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8558
8559
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8560
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8561
8562
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8563
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8564
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8565
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

*******
8582
8583
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8584
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8585
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8586
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8587
8588
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8589
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
8590

8610
8611
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8612

--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8614
8615
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8616
8617
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8618
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8619
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8620
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8621
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8622
8623
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8624
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8625
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8935
********************
8936
8937
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8938
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8939
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8940
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8941
8942
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8943
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8944
8945
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8946
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8947
8948
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8949
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8950
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8951
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8952
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8953
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8954
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8955
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8956
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8957
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8958
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8959
from any tree without problems.

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

9232
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
9233
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
9234
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
9235
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
9236
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
9237
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
9238
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
9239
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
9240
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
9241
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
9313
9314
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
9315
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
9316
9317
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
9318
(Martin Pool, #63894)
9319
9320
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
9321
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)

Bug Fixes
9332
*********
9333
9334
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
9335
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
9336
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
9337
9338
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
9339
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
9340
9341
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
9342
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
9343
9344
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
9345
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
9346
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
9347
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
9348
9349
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
9350
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
9351
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
9352
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
9353
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
9354
9355
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
9356
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
9357
paramiko.
9358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
9359
9360
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9361
9362
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
9363
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
9364
9365
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
9366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
9367
9368
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
9369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
9370
9371
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
9372
contains a symbolic link.
9373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
9374
9375
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
9376
(James Westby, #140615)
9377
9378
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
9379
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
9380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
9381
9382
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
9383
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
9384
(Martin Pool, #144633)
9385
9386
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
9387
9388
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
9389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
9390
9391
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
9392
will remain opened.
9393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
9394
9395
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
9396
directory to detect leaking tests.
9397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
9398
9399
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
9400
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
9401
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
9402
9403
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
9404
(Rob Weir, #141629)
9405
9406
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
9407
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
9408
9409
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
9410
Merwe)
9411
9412
API Breaks
9413
**********
9414
9415
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
9416
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
9417
9418
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9419
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
9420
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9421
9422
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9423
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9424
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
9425
9426
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
9427
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
9428
9429
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
9430
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
9431
9432
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
9433
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
9434
(Martin Pool)
9435
9436
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
9437
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
9438
9439
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
9440
class that needs it.
9441
(Martin Pool)
9442
9443
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9444
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9445
9446
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9447
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9448
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9449
9450
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
9451
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
9452
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9453
(Robert Collins)
9454
9455
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9456
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9457
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9458
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9459
(Robert Collins)
9460
9461
Internals
9462
*********
9463
9464
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9465
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9466
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9467
9468
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9469
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9470
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9471
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9472
9473
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9474
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9475
(Robert Collins)
9476
9477
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9478
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9479
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9480
9481
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9482
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9483
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9484
9485
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9486
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9487
9488
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9489
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9490
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9491
9492
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9493
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9494
9495
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9496
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9497
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9498
9499
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9500
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9501
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9502
9503
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9504
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9505
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9506
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9507
9508
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9509
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9510
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9511
returned. (Robert Collins)
9512
9513
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9514
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9515
9516
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9517
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9518
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9519
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9520
(Robert Collins)
9521
9522
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9523
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9524
9525
Testing
9526
*******
9527
9528
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9529
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9530
9531
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9532
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9533
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9534
makes this behavior available to other users.
9535
(Martin Pool)
9536
9537
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9538
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
9580
*******
9581
9582
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9583
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9584
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9585
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9586
(Martin Pool)
9587
9588
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9589
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9590
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9591
(Ian Clatworthy)
9592
9593
Features
9594
********
9595
9596
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9597
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9598
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9599
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9600
9601
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9602
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9603
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9604
9605
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9606
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9607
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9608
9609
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9610
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9611
9612
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9613
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9614
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9615
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9616
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9617
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9618
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9619
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9620
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9621
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9622
9623
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9624
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9625
9626
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9627
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9628
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9629
9630
Bug Fixes
9631
*********
9632
9633
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9634
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9635
9636
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9637
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9638
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9639
9640
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9641
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9642
9643
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9644
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9645
9646
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9647
(Aaron Bentley)
9648
9649
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9650
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9651
9652
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9653
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9654
9655
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9656
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9657
9658
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9659
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9660
9661
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9662
9663
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9664
Watkins, #106726)
9665
9666
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9667
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9668
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9669
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9670
9671
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9672
9673
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9674
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9675
#133548)
9676
9677
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9678
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9679
9680
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9681
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9682
#116143)
9683
9684
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9685
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9686
9687
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9688
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9689
9690
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9691
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9692
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9693
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9694
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9695
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9696
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9697
9698
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9699
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9700
9701
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9702
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9703
9704
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9705
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9706
9707
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9709
9710
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9711
connections.
9712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9713
9714
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9715
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9716
9717
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9718
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9719
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9720
9721
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9722
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
9726
************
9727
9728
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9729
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9730
9731
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9732
(Aaron Bentley)
9733
9734
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9735
(Aaron Bentley)
9736
9737
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9738
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9739
9740
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9741
9742
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9743
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9744
9745
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9746
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9747
9748
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9749
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9750
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9751
space). (Robert Collins)
9752
9753
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9754
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9755
(Ian Clatworthy)
9756
9757
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9758
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9759
9760
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9761
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9762
9763
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9764
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9765
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9766
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9767
9768
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9769
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9770
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.

* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9774
(Ian Clatworthy)
9775
9776
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9777
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9778
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9779
9780
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9781
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9782
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9783
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9784
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)

**********
9788
9789
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9790
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9791
9792
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9793
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9794
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9795
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9796
affected. (Robert Collins)
9797
9798
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9799
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9800
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9801

9804

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

9812
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9813
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9814
9815
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9816

9817
9818
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9819
(Aaron Bentley)
9820
9821
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9822
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)

9825
*********
9826
9827
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9828
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9829
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9830
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9831
9832
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9833
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9834
9835
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9836
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9837
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9838
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9839
9840
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9841
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9842
present. (Robert Collins)
9843
9844
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9845
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9846
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9847
API. (Robert Collins)
9848
9849
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9850
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9851
(Robert Collins)
9852
9853
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9854
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9855
9856
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9857
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9858
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9859
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9860
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9861
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9862
9863
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9864
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9865
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9866
9867
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9868
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9869
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9870
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9871
protocol.
9872
9873
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9874
(Aaron Bentley)
9875
9876
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9877
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9878
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9879
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9880
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9881
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9882
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9883
9884
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9885
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9886
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9887
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9888
9889
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9890
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9891
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9892
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9893
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9894
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9895
9896
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9897
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9898
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9899
9900
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9901
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

********
9937
9938
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9939
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9940
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9941
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9942
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9943
9944
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9946
9947
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9948
anymore.
9949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9950
9951
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9952
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9953
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9954
9955
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9956
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9957
#111664)
9958
9959
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9960
(Lukáš Lalinský)

9962
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9963
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9964
9965
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9966
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9967
9968
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9969
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9970
9971
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.

* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9984
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9985
9986
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9987
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9988
9989
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9990
the repository (Robert Collins)
9991
9992
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9993
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9994
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9995
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9996
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9997
9998
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9999
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10000
10001
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
10002
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
10003
(John Arbash Meinel)
10004
10005
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
10006
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
10007
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
10008
about 10%).
10009
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
10010
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
10011
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
10012
(John Arbash Meinel)
10013
10014
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
10015
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
10016
(Robert Collins)
10017
10018
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
10019
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
10020
10021
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
10022
(Ian Clatworthy)
10023
10024
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
10025
10026
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
10027
10028
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
10029
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
10030
10031
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
10032
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
10033
Meinel)
10034
10035
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
10036
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
10037
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
10038
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10039
10040
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
10041
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
10042
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
10043
10044
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
10045
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
10046
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
10047
10048
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
10049
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
10050
10051
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
10052
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
10053
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
10054
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
10055
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
10056
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
10057
(Ian Clatworthy)
10058
10059
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
10060
(Alexander Belchenko)
10061
10062
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
10063
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
10064
10065
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
10066
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
10067
10068
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

10075
10076
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
10077
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
10078
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
10079
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
10080
10081
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
10082
10083
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
10084
(Robert Collins)
10085
10086
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
10087
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
10088
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
10089
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
10090
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
10091
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
10092
10093
Internals
10094
*********
10095
10096
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
10097
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
10098
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
10099
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
10100
10101
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
10102
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
10103
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
10104
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
10105
tests have been refactored too.
10106
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10107
10108
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
10109
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
10110
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
10111
list, it will.
10112
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10113
10114
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
10115
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
10116
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
10117
10118
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
10119
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
10120
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
10121
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
10122
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
10123
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
10124
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
10125
10126
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
10127
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
10128
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
10129
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
10130
(John Arbash Meinel)
10131
10132
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
10133
functionality for testing.
10134
10135
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
10136
10137
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
10138
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10139
10140
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
10141
10142
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
10143
(Robert Collins)
10144
10145
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
10146
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
10147
10148
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
10149
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
10150
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
10151
10152
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
10153
(Aaron Bentley)
10154
10155
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
10156
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
10157
10158
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
10159
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
10160
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
10161
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
10162
10163
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
10164
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
10165
10166
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
10167
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
10168
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
10169
10170
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
10171
(Marius Kruger)
10172
10173
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
10174
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
10175
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
10176
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
10177
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
10178
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
10179
10180
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
10181
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
10182
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
10183
many files. (Robert Collins)
10184
10185
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
10186
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
10187
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
10188
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
10189
10190
Testing
10191
*******
10192
10193
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
10194
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
10195
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
10196
10197
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
10198
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
10199
10200
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
10201
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
10202
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

************
10271
10272
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
10273
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
10274
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
10275

10276

10277
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
10278
10279
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
10280
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
10281
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
10282
10283
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
10284
(Elliot Murphy)
10285
10286
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
10287
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
10288
10289
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
10290
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
10291
10292
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
10293
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
10294
10295
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
10296
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
10297
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
10298
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
10299
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
10300
10301
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
10302
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
10303
10304
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
10305
can be slow it is useful feedback).
10306

10324
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
10325
10326
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently

10361
(Robert Collins)
10362
10363
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
10364
10365
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
10366
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
10367
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
10368
10369
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
10370
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
10371
10372
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
10373
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10374
10375
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
10376
10377
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
10378
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
10379
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
10380
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
10381
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
10382
same location. (Robert Collins)
10383
10384
Internals
10385
*********
10386
10387
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
10388
10389
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
10390
10391
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
10392
10393
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
10394
(Martin Pool)
10395
10396
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
10397
(Martin Pool)
10398
10399
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
10400
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
10401
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
10402
10403
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
10404
10405
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
10406
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
10407
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
10408
10409
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
10410
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
10411
10412
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
10413
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
10414
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
10415
10416
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10417
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10418
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10419
10420
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
10421
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
10422
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
10423
10424
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
10425
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
10426
Martin Pool)
10427
10428
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
10429
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
10430
10431
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
10432
(Alexander Belchenko)
10433
10434
Testing
10435
*******
10436
10437
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10438
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10439
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10440
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10441
10442
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10443
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10444
testing. (Robert Collins)
10445
10446
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10447
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10448
10449
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10450
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10451
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10452
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10453
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10454
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10455
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10456
10457
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10458
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10459
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10460
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10461
10462
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10463
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10464
10465
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10466
avoid useless cloning.

********************
10492
10493
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10494
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10495
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10496
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10497
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10498
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10499
and unlock() like so::
10500
10501
work_tree.lock_read()
10502

10509
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10510
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10511
object.
10512
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10513
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10514
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10515
10516

10517
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
10518
too. (Robert Collins)

10524
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10525
Aaron Bentley)
10526
10527
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10528
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10529
10530
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10531
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10532
10533
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10534
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10535
understanding what changes have occurred
10536
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10537
10538
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10539
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10540
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10541
10542
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10543
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10544
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10545
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

10670
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10671
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10672
10673
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10674
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10675
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10676
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10677
10678
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10679
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10680
10681
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10682
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10683
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10684
10685
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10686
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10687
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10688
10689
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10690
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10691
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10692
10693
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10694
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10695
Robert Collins)
10696
10697
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10698
Pool)
10699
10700
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10701
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10702
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10703
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10704
10705
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10706
(Robert Collins)
10707
10708
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10709
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10710
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10711
(Robert Collins)
10712
10713
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10714
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10715
10716
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10717
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10718
10719
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10720
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10721
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10722
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10723
(Robert Collins)
10724
10725
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10726
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10727
10728
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10729
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10730
10731
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10732
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10733
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10734
10735
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10736
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10737
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10738
10739
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10740
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10741
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10742
10743
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10744
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10745
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10746
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10747
10748
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10749
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10750
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10751
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10752
10753
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10754
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10755
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10756
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10757
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10758
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10759
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10760
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10761
header(s).

*********
10766
10767
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10768
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10769
10770
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10771
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10772
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10773
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10774
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10775
10776
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10777
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10778
10779
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10780
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10781
10782
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10783
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10784
10785
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10786
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10787
10788
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10789
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10790
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10791
(Robert Collins).
10792
10793
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10794
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10795
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10796
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10797
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10798
(Robert Collins)
10799
10800
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10801
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10802
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10803
10804
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10805
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10806
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10807
10808
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10809
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10810
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10811
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10812
10813
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10814
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10815
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10816
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10817
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10818
10819
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10820
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10821
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10822
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10823
10824
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10825
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10826
10827
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10828
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10829
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10830
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10831
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10832
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10833
10834
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10835
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10836
10837
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10838
help. (Robert Collins)
10839
10840
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10841
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10842
10843
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10844
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10845
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10846
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10847
(John Arbash Meinel)
10848
10849
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10850
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10851
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10852
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10853
useful. (Robert Collins)
10854
10855
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

10865
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)

10876
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
10877
10878
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
10879
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
10880
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
10881
10882
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10883
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10884
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10885
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10886
10887
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10888
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
10889
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
10890
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
10891
10892
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
10893
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
10894
10895
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
10896
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
10897
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
10898
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
10899
Arbash Meinel)
10900
10901
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
10902
10903
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
10904
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
10905
10906
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
10907
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
10908
10909
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
10910
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
10911
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
10912
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
10913
security hole.
10914
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10915
10916
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
10917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).

10920
*******
10921
10922
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10923
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10924
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10925
10926
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10927
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10928
10929
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10930
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10931
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10932
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10933
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10934
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10935
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10936
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10937
10938
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10939
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10940
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10941
10942
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10943
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10944
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10945
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10946
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10947
access.
10948
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10949
10950
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
10951
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
10952
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
10953
10954
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
10955
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

************
10987
10988
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10989
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10990
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10991
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10992
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10993
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10994
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10995
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of

Surprises
11113
*********
11114
11115
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
11116
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
11117
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
11118
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
11119
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
11120
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
11121
11122
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
11123
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
11124
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
11125
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
11126
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
11127
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
11128
development.
11129
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
11130
11131
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
11132
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
11133
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
11134
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
11135
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
11136
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
11137
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
11138
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

Improvements
11141
************
11142
11143
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
11144
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
11145
11146
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
11147
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
11148
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
11149
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
11150
does exist.
11151
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
11152
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
11153
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
11154
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
11155
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
11156
11157
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
11158
(Aaron Bentley)
11159
11160
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
11161
(Aaron Bentley)
11162
11163
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
11164
(Robert Collins)
11165
11166
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
11167
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
11168
(Aaron Bentley)
11169
11170
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
11171
(Aaron Bentley)
11172
11173
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
11174
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
11175
11176
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
11177
directory. (Martin Pool)
11178
11179
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
11180
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
11181
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
11182
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
11183
11184
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
11185
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
11186
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
11187
in docs/configuration.txt.
11188
11189
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
11190
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
11191
bind location.
11192
11193
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
11194
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
11195
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
11196
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
11197
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
11198
repositories. (Martin Pool)
11199
11200
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
11201
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11202
11203
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
11204
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
11205
11206
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
11207

11209
Internals
11210
*********
11211
11212
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
11213
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
11214
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
11215
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
11216
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
11217
(John Arbash Meinel)
11218
11219
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
11220
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
11221
(Aaron Bentley)
11222
11223
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
11224
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
11225
(John Arbash Meinel)
11226
11227
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
11228
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
11229
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
11230
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
11231
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
11232
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
11233
11234
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
11235
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
11236
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
11237
11238
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
11239
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
11240
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
11241
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
11242
repository.
11243
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11244
11245
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
11246
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
11247
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
11248
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
11249
11250
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
11251
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
11252
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
11253
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
11254
11255
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
11256
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
11257
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
11258
11259
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
11260
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
11261
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
11262
11263
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
11264
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
11265
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
11266
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
11267
11268
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
11269
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
11270
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
11271
11272
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
11273
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
11274
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
11275
11276
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
11277
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
11278
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
11279
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
11280
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
11281
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
11282
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
11283
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
11284
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

11294
11295
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
11296
(Aaron Bentley)
11297
11298
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
11299
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
11300
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.

11369
11370
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
11371
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
11372
server, then you can write over the http connection.
11373
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11374
11375
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
11376
(Marius Kruger)
11377
11378
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
11379
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
11380
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
11381
11382
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
11383

11386
(Aaron Bentley)
11387
11388
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
11389
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
11390
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
11391
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
11392
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
11393
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
11394
11395
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
11396
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
11397
should enable you to do::
11398
11399
[/home/user/project]
11400
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
11401
push_location:policy = appendpath
11402
11403
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
11404
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
11405
(James Henstridge)
11406
11407
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
11408

11436
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
11437
11438

11439
11440
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
11441

* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11460
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
11461
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
11479
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
11480
11481

11554
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on

11574
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11575
11576
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11577
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11578
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``

11582
11583
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11584
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11585
11586
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11587
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11588
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11589

11593
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11594
11595
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11596
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11597
them as full references rather than integers.
11598

11601
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)

* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11612

11614
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11615
11616
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert

11622
11623
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11624
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11625
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can

11654
11655
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11656
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11657
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11658
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11659
11660
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
11661
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11662
11663
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11664
11665
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11666
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11667
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11668
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11669
11670
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11671
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11672
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11673

11688
11689
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11690

(John Arbash Meinel)
11692
11693

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11704
11705
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11706

11707
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11708

11709
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11710
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11711
11712
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This

* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11739
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11740
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when

11798
11799
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11800
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11801
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11802
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11803
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11804
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
11805
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

11815
11816
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11817
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11818
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11819
(Robert Collins)
11820
11821
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
11822

11823
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
11824

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

11829
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin

of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11917

* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11922
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11923
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11924
11925
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11926
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11927
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11928
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11929
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11930
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11931
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11932
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11933
caller to repeat their request.
11934
(John Arbash Meinel)
11935
11936
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11937
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11938
11939
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11940
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11941
11942
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11943
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11944
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11945
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11946
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11947
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11948
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11949
11950
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11951
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11952
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11953
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11954
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11955
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11956
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11957
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11958
(Robert Collins)
11959
11960
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11961

``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11963

specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11966
11967
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11968
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11969
11970
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11977
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11978
11979
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11980
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11981
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11982
11983
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11984

************
11994
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11995
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11996
11997
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11998
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11999
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
12000
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
12001
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
12002
12003
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
12004
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
12005
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
12006
12007
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
12008
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
12009
12010
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
12011
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

12016
12017
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
12018
12019
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
12020
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
12021
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)

* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
12024
12025
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
12026
12027
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
12028
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
12029
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
12030
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
12031
12032
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
12033
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
12034
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
12035
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
12036
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
12037
12038
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
12039
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
12040
12041
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
12042
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
12043
12044
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
12045
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
12046
12047
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
12048
in handling of revision properties.
12049
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
12050
12051
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
12052
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)

Internals
12055
*********
12056
12057
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
12058
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
12059
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
12060
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
12061
(John Arbash Meinel)
12062
12063
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
12064
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
12065
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
12073
*********
12074
12075
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
12076
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
12077
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
12078
specific one '.bzrignore'.
12079
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
12080
a more conservative list than the old default.
12081
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
12082
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
12083
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
12084
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
12085
12086
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
12087
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
12091
************
12092
12093
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
12094
revno:N:branch. For example,
12095
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
12096
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
12097
12098
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
12099
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
12100
the path of a file that has been versioned.
12101
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
12102
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
12103
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
12104
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
12105
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
12106
#42517, #42514)
12107
12108
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
12109
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
12110
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
12111
(Malone #3507)
12112
12113
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
12114
(Alexander Belchenko)
12115
12116
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
12117
12118
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
12119
(Robert Collins).
12120
12121
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
12122
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
12123
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
12124
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
12125
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
12126
(John Arbash Meinel)
12127
12128
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
12129
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
12130
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
12131
grained analysis of performance.
12132
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12133
12134
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
12135
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
12136
12137
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
12138
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
12139
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
12140
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
12141
file. (Robert Collins).
12142
12143
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
12144
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
12145
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
12146
12147
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
12148
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
12149
Matthieu Moy)
12150
12151
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
12152
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
12153
12154
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
12155
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
12156
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
12157
the same way you would apply another branch.
12158
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
12159
12160
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
12161
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
12162
12163
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
12164
(Michael Ellerman)
12165
12166
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
12167
(Aaron Bentley)
12168
12169
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
12170
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
12171
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
12172
12173
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
12174
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
12175
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
12176
12177
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
12178
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
12179
12180
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
12181
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
12182
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
12183
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
12184
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
12185
12186
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
12187
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
12188
12189
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
12190
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
12191
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
12192
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
12193
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
12194
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
12195
branch is as much as 4x faster.
12196
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
12197
12198
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
12199
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
12200
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

12208
12209
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
12210
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12211
12212
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
12213
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
12214
12215
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
12216
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
12217
12218
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
12219
12220
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
12221
(John Arbash Meinel)
12222
12223
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
12224
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
12225
12226
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
12227
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
12228
and y.
12229
12230
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
12231
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
12232
12233
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
12234
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
12235
12236
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
12237
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
12238
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
12239
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
12240

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

* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
12247

12252

* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
12254
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
12255
12256
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
12257
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
12258
12259
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
12260
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
12261
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
12262
12263
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
12264
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
12265
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
12266
12267
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
12268
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
12269
12270
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
12271
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)

* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
12274
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
12275
12276
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
12277
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
12278
12279
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
12280
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
12281
12282
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
12283
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
12284
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
12285
12286
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
12287

them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
12296
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
12297
12298
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
12299
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
12300
12301
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
12302
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
12303
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12304
12305
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
12306
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12307
12308
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
12309
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
12310
(Martin Pool)
12311
12312
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
12313
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
12314
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12315
12316
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
12317
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
12318
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12319
12320
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
12321
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
12322
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
12323
12324
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
12325
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

Notes When Upgrading
12409
********************
12410
12411
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
12412
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
12413
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
12414
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
12415
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
12416
will keep the same format.
12417
12418
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12419
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12420
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12421
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12422
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12423
12424
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12425
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12426
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12427
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12428
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12429
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12430
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12431
12432
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12433
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12434
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12435
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12436
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12437
12438
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12439
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12440
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12441
arrangement.
12442
12443
12444
Improvements
12445
************
12446
12447
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12448
convention. Paths now take the form::
12449
12450
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12451
or
12452
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12453
12454
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12455
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12456
12457
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12458
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12459
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12460
12461
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12462
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12463
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12464
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12465
12466
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12467
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12468
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12469
12470
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12471
12472
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12473
12474
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12475
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12476
commits::
12477
12478
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12479
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12480
| xargs bzr re-sign
12481
12482
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12483
12484
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12485
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12486
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12487
(Robert Collins)
12488
12489
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12490
12491
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12492
12493
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12494
'.moved'.
12495
12496
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12497
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12498
12499
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12500
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12501
Daniel Silverstone)
12502
12503
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12504
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12505
Martin Pool)
12506
12507
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12508
12509
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12510
12511
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12512
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12513
12514
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12515
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12516
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12517
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12518
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12519
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12520
12521
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12522
12523
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12524
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12525
(Robert Collins)
12526
12527
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12528
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12529
12530
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12531
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12532
12533
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12534
12535
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12536
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12537
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12538
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12539
specification by Martin Pool.
12540
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12541
12542
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12543
Belchenko)
12544
12545
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12546
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12547
12548
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12549
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12550
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12551
12552
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12553
12554
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12555
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.

12561
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12562
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12563
12564
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12565
12566
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12567
12568
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12569
(Olaf Conradi)
12570
12571
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12572
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12573
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12574
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12575

Internals
12577
*********
12578
12579
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12580
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12581
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12582
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12583
12584
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12585
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12586
tried. (Martin Pool)
12587
12588
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12589
(Martin Pool)
12590
12591
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12592
12593
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12594
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12595
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12596
12597
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12598
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12599
12600
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12601
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12602
paths. (Robert Collins)
12603
12604
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12605
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12606
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12607
12608
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12609
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12610
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12611
12612
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12613
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12614
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12615
12616
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12617
(Olaf Conradi)
12618
12619
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12620
(Olaf Conradi)
12621
12622
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12623
12624
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12625
12626
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12627
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12628
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12629
(Robert Collins)
12630
12631
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12632
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12633
12634
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12635
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12636
check. (Robert Collins)
12637
12638
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12639
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12640
12641
Testing
12642
*******
12643
12644
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12645
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12646
12647
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12648
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12649
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12650
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12651
12652
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12653
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12654
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12655
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12656
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12657
12658
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12659
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12660
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12661
12662
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12663
12664
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12665
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

*******
12674
12675
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12676
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12677
12678
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12679
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12680
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12681
(Johan Rydberg)
12682
12683
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12684
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12685
12686
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12687
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12688
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12689
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12690
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12691
12692
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12693
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12694
used. (Robert Collins)
12695
12696
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12697
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12698
(James Henstridge)
12699
12700
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12701
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12702
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12703
12704
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12705
ignore list.
12706
12707
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12708
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12714
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12715
12716
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12717
12718
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12719
12720
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12721
tree. (Robert Collins)
12722
12723
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12724
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12725
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12726
(Robert Collins)
12727
12728
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12729
that they be kept.
12730
12731
* Tweaks to short log printing
12732
12733
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12734
(Aaron Bentley)
12735
12736
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12737
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12738
12739
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12740
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12741
12742
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12743
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12744
12745
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12746
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12747
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12748
12749
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12750
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12751
12752
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12753
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12754
requests.
12755
12756
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12757
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12758
12759
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12760
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12761
12762
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12763
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12764
12765
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12766
(Denys Duchier)
12767
12768
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12769
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12770
12771
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12772
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12773
12774
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12775
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

12847
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12848
(John Arbash Meinel)
12849
12850
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12851
12852
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12853
If adding a new test script please add that to
12854
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12855
12856
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12857
imported. (Martin Pool)
12858
12859
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12860
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12861
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12862
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12863
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12864
(Robert Collins)
12865
12866
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12867
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12868
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12869
12870
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12871
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12872
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12873
12874
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12875
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12876
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12877
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12878
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12879
(Robert Collins).
12880
12881
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12882
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
12883
(Robert Collins).

12887
12888
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12889
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12890
12891
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12892
function. (Robert Collins)
12893
12894
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12895
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12896
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12897
12898
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12899
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12900
(Robert Collins)
12901
12902
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12903
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12904
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12905
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12906
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12907
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12908
version. (Robert Collins)
12909
12910
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12911
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12912
12913
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12914
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12915
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12916
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12917
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12918
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12919
12920
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12921
(Robert Collins)
12922
12923
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
12924
12925
add()
12926
commit()
12927
move()
12928
rename_one()
12929

12930
12931
(Robert Collins)
12932
12933
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12934
12935
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12936
12937
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12938
Pool)
12939
12940
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12941
query method. (Robert Collins)
12942
12943
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12944
(Denys Duchier)
12945
12946
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12947
(Michael Ellerman)
12948
12949
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12950
(Michael Ellerman)
12951
12952
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12953
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12954
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12955
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12956
12957
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12958
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12959
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12960
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12961
12962
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12963
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

12971
************
12972
12973
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12974
(John A Meinel)
12975
12976
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12977
conflicts.
12978
(Aaron Bentley)
12979
12980
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12981
a separator, not ':'.
12982
(Aaron Bentley)
12983
12984
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12985
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12986
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12987
12988
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12989
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12990
(Robert Collins)
12991
12992
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12993
has been added that suppresses all output.
12994
12995
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12996
Adams.
12997
12998
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12999
Goffredo Baroncelli.
13000
13001
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
13002
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
13003
13004
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
13005
a revision. (Robert Collins)
13006
13007
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
13008
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
13009
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
13010
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
13011
13012
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
13013
13014
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
13015
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
13016
13017
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
13018
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
13019
13020
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
13021
output directory, if one was supplied.
13022
13023
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
13024
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
13025
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
13026
parameters. (Robert Collins)
13027
13028
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
13029
13030
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
13031
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
13032
13033
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
13034
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
13035
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
13036
13037
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
13038
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
13039
13040
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
13041
(Aaron Bentley)
13042
13043
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)

*******
13049
13050
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
13051
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
13052
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
13053
13054
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
13055
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
13056
related questions. (Robert Collins)
13057
13058
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
13059
is given. (Martin Pool)
13060
13061
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
13062
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
13063
file. (Robert Collins)
13064
13065
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
13066
(Martin Pool)
13067

Internals
13069
*********
13070
13071
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
13072
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
13073
representation. (Martin Pool).
13074
13075
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
13076
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
13077
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
13078
13079
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13080
(Robert Collins)
13081
13082
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
13083
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
13084
Magnus Therning.
13085
13086
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13087
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
13088
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
13089
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
13090
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
13091
13092
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
13093
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
13094
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
13095
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
13096
python path. (Robert Collins)
13097
13098
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
13099
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
13100
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
13101
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
13102
13103
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
13104
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
13105
13106
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
13107
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
13108
(Robert Collins)
13109
13110
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
13111
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
13112
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
13113
13114
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
13115
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
13116
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
13117
13118
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13119
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13120
13121
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
13122
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
13123
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
13124
(Robert Collins)
13125
13126
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
13127
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
13128
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
13129
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
13130
(Robert Collins)
13131
13132
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
13133
(Robert Collins)
13134
13135
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
13136
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
13137
(Robert Collins)
13138
13139
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
13140
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
13141
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
13142
13143
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
13144
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
13145
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
13146
13147
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
13148
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
13149
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
13150
13151
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13152
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13153
13154
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
13155
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
13156
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
13157
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
13158
caller. (Robert Collins)
13159
13160
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
13161
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
13162
(Robert Collins).
13163
13164
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
13165
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
13166
(Aaron Bentley)
13167
13168
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
13169
13170
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
13171
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

13211
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate

high-latency connections.

* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
13223
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
13224
13225
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
13226
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
13227
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
13228
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.

* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
13234
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
13235
13236
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
13237
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
13238
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13239
13240
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions

for files with only a change to their executable status.
13242
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by

13248
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
13249
different partial views of history.
13250

Improvements
13255
************
13256
13257
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
13258
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
13259
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13260
13261
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
13262
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
13263
'bzr upgrade'.
13264
13265
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
13266
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
13267
13268
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
13269
Niemeyer.
13270
13271
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
13272
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
13273
13274
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
13275
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
13276
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
13277
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13278
13279
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
13280
13281
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
13282
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
13283
Gustavo Niemeyer.
13284
13285
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
13286
Contributed by Robert Collins.
13287
13288
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
13289

* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
13297

13299
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
13300
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
13301
13302
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
13303
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
13304
handling of such circumstances.
13305
13306
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
13307

13308
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)

* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
13311
13312
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
13313
we call them revisions not patches.
13314
13315
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
13316
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
13317
13318
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
13319
giving the revision *of that file*.
13320
13321
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
13322
This must be consistent with the overall branch version

************
13387
13388
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
13389
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
13390
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
13391
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
13392
Michael Ellerman.
13393
13394
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
13395
(Nir Soffer)
13396
13397
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
13398
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
13399
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
13400
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
13401
for the operating system is still tried.
13402
13403
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
13404
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
13405
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

*******
13530
13531
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13532
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13533
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13534
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13535
13536
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13537
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13538
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13539
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13540
standard plugins directory.
13541
13542
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13543
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13544
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13545
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13546
13547
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13548
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13549
13550
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13551
disk.
13552
13553
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13554
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13555
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13556
13557
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13558
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13559
13560
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13561
line options must come before the command name because they
13562
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13563
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13564
it.
13565
13566
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13567
13568

* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13587
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13588
13589
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13590
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13591
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13592
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13593
13594
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13595
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13596
with the ``--forward`` option.
13597

13636

13639
haven't changed since the previous time.

13679
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
