:2.2.1: 2010-09-17
661
662
This is a bugfix release which also includes bugfixes from 2.0.6 and
663
2.1.3. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
664
earlier 2.2 releases.

Bug Fixes
667
*********
668
669
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
670
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
671
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
672
673
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
674
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
675
marked versioned too.
676
(Martin Pool, #192859)
677
678
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
679
target of the symlink.
680
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
681
682
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
683
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
684
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
685
686
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
687
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
688
689
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
690
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
692
693
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
694
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
695
696
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
697
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
698
699
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
700
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
701
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
702
703
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
704
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
705
(Martin Pool, #192859)
706
707
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
708
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
709
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
710
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
711
712
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
713
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
714
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
715
(Martin [gz], #631350)
716
717
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
718
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
719
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
720
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
721
722
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
723
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
724
725
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
726
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
727
728
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
729
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
730
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
731
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
732
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
733
734
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
735
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
736
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
737
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
738
739
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
740
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
741
(Martin [gz], #254278)
742
743
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
744
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
745
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
746
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
747
748
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
749
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
750
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
751

769
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
770
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
771
772
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
773
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
774
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
775
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.

:Codename: La Hulpe
982
:2.2: 2010-08-06
983
984
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
985
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
986
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
987
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
988
supported for another 6 months.)
989
990
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
991
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
992
993
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
994
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
995
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
996
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
997
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
998
readonly operations).
999
1000
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
1001
1002
Compatibility Breaks
1003
********************
1004
1005
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
1006
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
1007
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
1008
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
1009
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1010
1011
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
1012
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
1013
macrobenchmark suite.

1020
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
1021
regular expression.
1022

1029
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1030

* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
1032
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
1033
1034
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
1035
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
1036
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
1037
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
1038
1039
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
1040
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)

For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
1084
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
1085
appropriately.
1086
1087
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
1088
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
1089
bugfixes over 2.2b3.

Compatibility Breaks
1092
********************
1093
1094
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
1095
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
1096
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
1097
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
1098
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
1099
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
1102
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
1103
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
1104
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
1105
end.
1106
1107
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
1108
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
1109
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

New Features
1114
************
1115
1116
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1117
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
1118
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)

1120
Bug Fixes
1121
*********
1122
1123
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
1124
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
1125
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
1126
1127
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
1128
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
1129
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
1130
1131
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
1132
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
1133
1134
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
1135
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
1136
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
1137
1138
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
1139
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
1140
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
1141
1142
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
1143
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
1144
1145
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
1146
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1147
1148
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
1149
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1150
1151
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
1152
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
1153
1154
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
1155
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
1156
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
1157
1158
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
1159
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
1160
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
1161
1162
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
1163
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
1164
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
1165
(Robert Collins, #177500)
1166
1167
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
1168
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
1169
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1170
1171
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
1172
1173
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1174
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1175
1176
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
1177
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
1178
1179
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
1180
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
1181
(Martin Pool)
1182
1183
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
1184
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
1185
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
1186
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
1187
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
1188
1189
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
1190
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
1191
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
1192
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
1193
1194
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
1195
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
1196
1197
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
1198
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
1199
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
1200
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)

1202
Improvements
1203
************
1204
1205
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
1206
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
1207
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
1208
1209
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
1210
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
1211
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
1212
(Robert Collins, #201613)
1213
1214
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
1215
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
1216
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
1217
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
1218
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
1219
1220
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
1221
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
1222
(Martin Pool, #340394)
1223
1224
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
1225
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
1226
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
1227
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
1228

Documentation
1231
*************
1232
1233
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
1234
1235
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
1236
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
1237
development). (Robert Collins)
1238
1239
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
1240
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
1241
1242
API Changes
1243
***********
1244
1245
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
1246
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
1247
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
1248
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
1249
1250
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
1251
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
1252
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
1253
(Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
1256
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
1257
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1258
1259
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
1260
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
1261
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
1262
(Parth Malwankar)
1263
1264
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
1265
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
1266
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
1267
1268
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
1269
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
1270
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
1271
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
1272
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
1273
1274
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
1275
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
1276
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
1277
1278
Internals
1279
*********
1280
1281
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
1282
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
1283
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
1284
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
1285
(Robert Collins)
1286
1287
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
1288
1289
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
1290
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
1291
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
1292
1293
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
1294
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
1295
(Robert Collins)
1296
1297
Testing
1298
*******
1299
1300
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
1301
to test. (Martin Pool)
1302
1303
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

#########
1308
1309
:2.2b3: 2010-05-28
1310
1311
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
1312
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
1313
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
1314
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
1315
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
1316
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
1317
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
1318
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
1319
support.
1320
1321
Compatibility Breaks
1322
********************
1323
1324
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
1325
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
1326
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
1327
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
1328
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
1329
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
1330
(Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
1333
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
1334
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
1335
1336
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
1337
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
1338
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
1339
1340
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
1341
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.

New Features
1345
************
1346
1347
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
1348
``--show-diff``.
1349
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
1350
1351
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
1352
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
1353
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
1354
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
1355
1356
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
1357
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
1358
pack operation.
1359
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
1360
1361
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
1362
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
1363
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1364
1365
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1366
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
1367
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
1368
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
1369
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1370
1371
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
1372
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
1373
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
1374
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1375
1376
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
1377
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
1378
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
1379
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.

Bug Fixes
1383
*********
1384
1385
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
1386
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
1387
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
1388
1389
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
1390
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
1391
better with sudo.
1392
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
1393
1394
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1395
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1396
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1397
1398
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
1399
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
1400
1401
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
1402
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
1403
difference).
1404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
1405
1406
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
1407
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
1408
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
1409
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
1410
(Robert Collins, #583667)
1411
1412
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
1413
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
1414
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
1415
1416
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
1417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
1418
1419
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
1420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
1421
1422
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
1423
(Aaron Bentley)
1424
1425
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1426
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1427
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1428
Python.
1429
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1430
1431
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
1432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
1433
1434
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1435
versions before 1.6.
1436
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1437
1438
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
1439
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
1440
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
1441
1442
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1443
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1444
1445
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
1446
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
1447
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
1448
1449
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
1450
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
1451
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
1452
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
1453
1454
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
1455
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
1456
to support this efficiently.
1457
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
1458
1459
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
1460
more comprehensible.
1461
(Martin Pool, #491763)
1462
1463
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1464
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1465
1466
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
1467
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
1468
1469
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
1470
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
1471
messages.
1472
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
1473
1474
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
1475
(Robert Collins, #558343)
1476
1477
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1478
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1479
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1481
1482
Improvements
1483
************
1484
1485
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
1486
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
1487
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
1488
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
1489
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
1490
(case-sensitive) as false.
1491
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
1492
1493
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
1494
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
1495
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
1496
1497
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
1498
be interpreted as a boolean.
1499
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1500
1501
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
1502
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
1503
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
1504
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
1505
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])

API Changes
1508
***********
1509

* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
1511
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
1512
(Andrew Bennetts)
1513
1514
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
1515
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
1516
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
1517
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
1518
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
1519
implementations.
1520
(Martin Pool)
1521
1522
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
1523
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
1524
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
1525
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
1526
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
1527
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
1528
1529
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
1530
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
1531
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
1532
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
1533
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
1534
``refresh_data`` during a write group.

* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
1541
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
1542
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug

:2.1.2: 2010-05-28
1586
1587
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and

1599
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1600
1601
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1602
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1603
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1604
Python.
1605
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)

1608
versions before 1.6.
1609
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)

* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1612
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1613
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1614

1623
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current

:2.2b2: 2010-04-16
1643
1644
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
1645

1654
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
1655
1656
Bug Fixes
1657
*********
1658
1659
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
1660
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
1661
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
1662
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
1663
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
1664
1665
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
1666
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
1667
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
1668
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)

1670
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1671
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1672
1673
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
1674
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
1675
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
1676
1677
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
1678
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
1679
1680
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
1681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
1682
1683
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
1684
(Martin Pool)
1685
1686
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
1687
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
1688
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
1689
1690
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
1691
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
1692
which is not installed any more" error.
1693
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
1694
1695
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1696
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1697
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1698
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1699
(Andrew Bennetts)
1700
1701
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1702
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1703
-rX..Y.
1704
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)

Improvements
1710
************
1711
1712
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1713
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1714
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1715
1716
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1717
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1718
(Andrew Bennetts)
1719
1720
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1721
(Andrew Bennetts)
1722
1723
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1724
(Andrew Bennetts)
1725
1726
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1727
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1728
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1729
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1730
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1731
1732
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1733
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1734
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1735

1744
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1745
(Andrew Bennetts)

auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1749
1750
Internals
1751
*********
1752
1753
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1754
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1755
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1756
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.

bzr 2.2b1
1760
#########
1761
1762
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
1763
1764
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1765
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1766
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1767
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1768
1769
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1770
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1771
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1772
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1773
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1774
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1775
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1776
through the 2.2 series.
1777
1778
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1779
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1780
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1781
1782
Compatibility Breaks
1783
********************
1784
1785
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1786
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1787
1788
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1789
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1790
(Martin Pool)
1791
1792
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1793
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1794
1795
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1796
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1797
1798
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1799
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1800
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1801
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1802
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1803
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1804
1805
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1806
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1807
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1808
1809
New Features
1810
************
1811
1812
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1813
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1814
1815
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1816
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1817
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1818
1819
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1820
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1821
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1822
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1823
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1824
1825
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1826
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows.
1827
(Gordon Tyler, #392428)
1828
1829
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1830
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1832
1833
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1834
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1835
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1836
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1837
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1838
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1839
1840
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1841
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1842
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1843
1844
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1845
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1846
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1847
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1848
1849
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1850

*********
1854
1855
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1856
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)

* Allow additional arguments to
1859
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1860
1861
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1862
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1863
1864
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1865
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1866
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1867
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1868
1869
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1870
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1871
1872
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1873

1874
1875
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1876
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1877
1878
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1880
1881
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1882
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1883
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1884
1885
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1886
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1887
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1888
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1889
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1890
1891
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1892
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1894
1895
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1896
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1897
1898
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1899
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1901
1902
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1903
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1904
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1905
1906
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1907
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1908
``add``.
1909
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1910
1911
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1912
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1913
1914
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1915
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1916
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1917
1918
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1919
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1921
1922
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1924
1925
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1926
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1928
1929
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1930
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1931
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1932
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1933
``sock.sendall``).
1934
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1935
1936
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1937
deletion is involved.
1938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1939
1940
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1941
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1942
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1943
1944
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1945
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1946
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1947
1948
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1949
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1950
1951
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1952
the debugger won't kill the session.
1953
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1954
1955
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1956
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1957
1958
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1959
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1960
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1961
1962

1968
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1969
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1970
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1971
1972
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1973
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1974
1975
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1976
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1977
1978
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1979
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1980
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1981
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1982
1983
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1984
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1985
to be done separately.
1986
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1987
1988
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1989
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1990
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1991
1992
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1993
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)

2008
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
2009
2010
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
2011
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
2012
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
2013
2014
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
2015
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
2016
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
2017
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
2018
(Robert Collins)
2019
2020
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
2021
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
2022
2023
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
2024
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)

2036
2037
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
2038
(Robert Collins)
2039
2040
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
2041
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
2042
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2043
2044
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
2045
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
2046
dependency regressions.
2047
(Martin Pool)
2048
2049
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
2050
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
2051
2052
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
2053
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
2054
2055
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
2056
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
2057
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
2058
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
2059
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
2060
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

2072
2073
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
2074
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
2075
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
2076
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
2077

2088
2089
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
2090
2091
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
2092
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
2093
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
2094
2095
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
2096
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
2097
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
2098
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
2099
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
2100

* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
2102
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
2103
2104
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
2105
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.

* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2143
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2144
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2145
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2146
another process already removed the file.
2147
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2148
2149
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
2150
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2151
a lock.
2152
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2153
2154
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2155
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2156
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2157
repositories.

* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``

2165
``UnboundLocalError``.
2166
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)

:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
2191
2192
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
2193
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
2194
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
2195
2196
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
2197
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
2198
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
2199
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
2200
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
2201
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
2202

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
2212
(Martin Pool, #513432)
2213
2214
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
2215
when it encounters conflicts.
2216
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
2217
2218
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
2219
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
2220
2221
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
2222
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
2223
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
2224
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
2225
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
2226
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
2227
2228
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
2229
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
2230
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

API Changes
2239
***********
2240
2241
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2242
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2243
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2244
2245
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
2246
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
2247
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2248
2249
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2250
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2251
2252
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
2253
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
2254
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
2255
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
2256
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
2257
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
2258
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
2259
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
2260
2261
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
2262
regressions.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
2264
2265
Internals
2266
*********
2267
2268
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
2269
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
2270
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
2271
in ``do_merge``.

2290
2291
API Changes
2292
***********
2293
2294
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
2295
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
2296
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
2297
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
2298
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
2299
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

2308
2309
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
2310
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
2311
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
2312
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
2313
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
2314
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
2315
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
2316
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
2317
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

New Features
2321
************
2322
2323
* Add bug information to log output when available.
2324
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
2325
2326
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
2327
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
2328
particular files.
2329
2330
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
2331
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
2332
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
2333
(Andrew Bennetts)
2334
2335
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
2336
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
2337
2338
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
2339
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
2340
2341
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
2342
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
2343
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
2344
2345
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
2346
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
2347
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
2348
Martin Pool, #45719)
2349
2350
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
2351
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
2352
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
2353
2354
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
2355
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
2356
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
2357
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
2358
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
2359
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
2360
2361
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
2362
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
2363
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
2364
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.

2371
user-specified commit message editor.
2372
(Martin Pool, #504842)
2373
2374
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
2375
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
2376
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
2377
2378
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
2379
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
2380
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
2381
2382
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
2383
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
2384
2385
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2386
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2387
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2388
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2389
another process already removed the file.
2390
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2391
2392
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
2393
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
2394
2395
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
2396
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
2397
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
2398
2399
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
2400
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
2401
2402
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
2403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
2404
2405
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
2406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
2407
2408
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
2409
(Martin Pool, #320035)
2410
2411
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
2412
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
2413
depended on this behaviour.
2414
(Martin Pool, #499757)
2415
2416
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
2417
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
2418
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
2419

Improvements
2423
************
2424
2425
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
2426
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
2427
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
2428
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
2429
2430
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
2431
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
2432
2433
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
2434
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
2435
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2436
2437
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
2438
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
2439
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2440
2441
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
2442
(__monty__, #257170)
2443
2444
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
2445
Bazaar is doing network IO.

Documentation

2453
2454
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
2455
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
2456
2457
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
2458
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
2459
2460
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
2461
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
2462
2463
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
2464
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
2465
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2466
2467
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
2468
(Ian Clatworthy)
2469
2470
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
2471

API Changes
2475
***********
2476
2477
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
2478
(Andrew Bennetts)
2479
2480
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
2481
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
2482
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
2483
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
2484
2485
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
2486
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
2487
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
2488
2489
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
2490
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
2491
2492
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
2493
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
2494
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
2495
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
2496
2497
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
2498
parameter.
2499
2500
Internals
2501
*********
2502
2503
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
2504
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
2505
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2506
2507
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
2508
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
2509
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
2510
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
2513
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2514
2515
Testing
2516
*******
2517
2518
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
2519
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
2520
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
2521
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
2522
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2523
2524
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
2525
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
2526
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
2527
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
2528
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
2529
suite. (Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
2532
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
2533
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2534
2535
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
2536
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

2541
2542
:Codename: smooth sailing
2543
:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
2544
2545
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2546
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2547
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2548
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2549
2550
2551
Bug Fixes
2552
*********
2553
2554
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2555
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2556
2557
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2558
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2559
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2560
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2561
2562
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2563
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2564
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2565
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2566
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2567
2568
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2569
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2570
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2571
2572
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2573
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2574
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2575
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2576
2577
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2578
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2579
2580
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2581
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2582
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2583
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2584
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2585
2586
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2587
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2588
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2589
users, rather than something nicer.
2590
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2591
2592
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2593
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2594
2595
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2596
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2597
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2598
2599
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2600
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2601
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2602
2603
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2604
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2605
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2606
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2607
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2608
2609
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2610
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2611
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2612
2613
Testing
2614
*******
2615
2616
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2617
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2618
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2619
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

2627
2628
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2629
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2630
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2631
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2632
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
2633
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
2637
********************
2638
2639
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2640
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2641
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2642
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2643
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2644
2645
New Features
2646
************
2647
2648
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2649
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2650
2651
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2652
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2653
2654
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2655
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2656
2657
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2658
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2659
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2660
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2661
lengths.
2662
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2663
2664
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2665

2666
is installed.

Bug Fixes
2671
*********
2672
2673
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2674
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2675
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2676
2677
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2678
and issues a warning.
2679
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2680
2681
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2682
2683
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2684
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2685
2686
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2687
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2688
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2689
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2690
2691
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2692
2693

* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2702
2703
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2704
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2705
2706
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2707
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2708
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2709
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2710
windows too.

2712
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2713
2714
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2715
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2716
2717
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2718
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2719
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2720
2721
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2722
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2723
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2724
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2725
2726
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2727
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2728
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2729
2730
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2731
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2732
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2733
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2734
2735
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2736
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

2746
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2747

2753
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2754
Hudson)
2755
2756
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2757
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2758
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2759
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2760
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2783
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2784
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2785
2786
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2787
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2788
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2789
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2790
(John Arbash Meinel)
2791
2792
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2793
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2794
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2795
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2796
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp

This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a

2847
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,

done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2872
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2873
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2874
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2875
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2876
2877
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2878
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2879
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2880
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2881
2882
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2883
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2884
2885
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2886
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2887
2888
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2889
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2890
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2891
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2892
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2893
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2894
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2895
2896
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2897
(Alexander Belchenko)

2900
Python level. (Martin Pool)

2905
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
2906
2907
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2908
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2909
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2910
overridden by GUIs.

* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2924
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2925
2926
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2927
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2928
2929
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2930
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2931
2932
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2933
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2934
2935
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2936
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2937
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2938
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2939
2940
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2941
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2942
2943
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2944
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2945
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2946
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2947
2948
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2949
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2950
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2951
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

:Codename: a load off my mind
2959
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2960
2961
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2962
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2963
2964
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2965
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2966
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2967
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2968
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2969
many operations.
2970
2971
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2972
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2973
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2974
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2975
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2976
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)

Bug Fixes

*********
2980
2981
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2982
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2983
2984
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2985
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2986
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2987
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2988
2989
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2990
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2991
2992
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2993
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2994
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2995
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2996
2997
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2998
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2999
3000
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
3001
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)

Improvements
3004
************
3005
3006
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
3007
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
3008
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
3009
(John Arbash Meinel)
3010
3011
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
3012

API Changes
3022
***********
3023
3024
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
3025
3026
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
3027
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
3028
(Martin Pool)
3029

Internals
3031
*********
3032
3033
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
3034
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
3035
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
3036
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
3037
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
3038
(John Arbash Meinel)
3039
3040
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
3041
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
3042
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
3043
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
3044
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
3045
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
3046
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
3047
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
3048
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
3049
3050
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
3051
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
3052
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
3053
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
3054
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
3055
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
3056
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3057
3058
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
3059
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
3060
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
3061
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

3115
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
3116
3117
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
3118
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
3119
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
3120
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
3121
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
3122
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
3123
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
3124
3125
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
3126
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
3127
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
3128
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
3132
************
3133
3134
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
3135
(Brian de Alwis)
3136
3137
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
3138
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
3139
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
3140
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
3141
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
3142
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
3143
3144
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
3145
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
3146
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
3147
3148
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
3149
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
3150
method.
3151
3152
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
3153
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
3154
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
3155
3156
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
3157
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
3158
(Arkanes)
3159
3160
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
3161
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
3165
*********
3166
3167
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3168
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3169
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3170
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3171
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3172
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3173
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3174
3175
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3176
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3177
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3178
3179
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3180
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
3181
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
3182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
3183
3184
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
3185
merges are present in the working tree.
3186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
3187
3188
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3189
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3190
3191
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
3192
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
3193
3194
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
3195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
3196
3197
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
3198
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
3199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
3200
3201
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3202
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3203
3204
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
3205
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
3206
3207
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
3208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)

needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
3219
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
3220
3221
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
3222
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
3223
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
3224
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
3225
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
3226
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
3251
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
3252
3253
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
3254
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
3255
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
3256
3257
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
3258
(Martin Pool)
3259
3260
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
3261
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
3262
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
3263
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
3264
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
3265
been deprecated.

3278
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
3279
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
3280
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
3281
(John Arbash Meinel)

3291
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
3292
3293
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
3294
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
3295
3296
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
3297
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
3298

3301

3303
3304
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
3305
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
3306
3307
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
3308
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
3309
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3310
3311
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
3312
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
3313
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
3314
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
3315
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)

* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
3318
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)

The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
3331
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
3332
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.

3335
Bug Fixes
3336
*********
3337
3338
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3339
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3340
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3341
3342
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
3343
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
3344
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
3345
3346
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
3347
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
3348
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
3349
3350
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
3351
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
3352
3353
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
3354
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
3355
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
3356
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
3357
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
3358
3359
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
3360
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
3361
3362
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
3363
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
3364
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
3365
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
3366
3367
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
3368
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
3369
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
3370
3371
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
3372
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
3373
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
3374
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
3375
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
3376
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
3377
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
3378
3379
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
3380
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3381
3382
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
3383
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
3384
to download the entire cix file many times.
3385
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
3386
3387
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
3388
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)

:2.0.0: 2009-09-22
3403
:Codename: Instant Karma
3404
3405
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
3406
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
3407
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
3408
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
3409
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
3410
existing projects.)
3411
3412
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
3413
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
3414
3415
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3416
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
3417
months or until the following stable release.

Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
3420
******************************
3421
3422
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
3423
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
3424
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
3425
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

New Features
3434
************
3435
3436
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
3437
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
3438

3439
3440
Bug Fixes
3441
*********
3442
3443
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3444
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3445
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3446
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3447
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3448
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3449
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3450
3451
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
3452
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
3453
(Robert Collins, #416732)
3454
3455
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
3456
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
3457
3458
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
3459
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
3460
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3461
3462
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3463
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3464
3465
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
3466
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
3467
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
3468
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
3469
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
3470
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
3471
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
3472
3473
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
3474
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
3475
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
3476
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
3477
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
3478
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
3479
3480
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
3481
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
3482
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3483
3484
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
3485
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
3486
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3487
3488
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
3489
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
3490
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
3491
3492
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3493
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
3496
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
3497
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

3506
3507
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
3508
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3509
3510
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
3511
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
3512
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
3513
3514
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
3515
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
3516
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
3529
********************
3530
3531
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3532
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3533
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3534
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3535
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
3538
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
3539
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.

* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3552
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3553
3554
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3555
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3556
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3557
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3558
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3559

3561
raised by newer versions of pycurl.

3571
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3572
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3573
3574
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3575
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3576
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

3584
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3585
3586
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3587
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3588
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3589
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3590
``bazaar.conf``.
3591

* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3597
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3598
3599
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3600
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3601
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3602
3603
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3604
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3605
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3606
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3607
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3608
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)

* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3692
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3693
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3705
3706
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3707
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3708
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3709
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3710
3711
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
3712
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
3713
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)

3715
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3716
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
3717
3718
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3719
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
3720
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
3721
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)

3729
3730
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3731
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3732
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3733
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
3734
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)

* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3737
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For

This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3792
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3793
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3794
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3795
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3796
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3797
3798
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3799
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3800
or until the following stable release.
3801
3802
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.

New Features
3805
************
3806
3807
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3808
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3809
3810
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3811
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3812
(Martin Pool, #391411)
3813
3814
Bug Fixes
3815
*********
3816
3817
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3818
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3819
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3820
3821
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3822
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3823
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3824
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3825
3826
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3827
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3828
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3829
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3830
3831
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3832
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3833
3834
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3835
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3836
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3837
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3838
3839
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3840
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3841
3842
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3843
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3844
3845
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3846
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3847
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3848
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3849
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3850
3851
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3852
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3853
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3854
3855
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3856
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3857
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3858
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3859
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3860
3861
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3862
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3863
3864
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3865
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3866
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3867
3868
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3869
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3870
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3871
3872
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3873
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3874
3875
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3876
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3877
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3878
3879
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3880
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3881
3882
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3883
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3884
3885
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3886
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3887
3888
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3889
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3890
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3891
3892
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3893
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3894
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3895
3896
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3897
3898
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3899
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3900
3901
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3902
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3903
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3904
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3905
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3906
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3907
3908
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3909
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3910
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3911
3912
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3913
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3914
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3915
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3916
3917
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3918
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3919
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3920
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3921
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3922
3923
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3924
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3925
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3926

Improvements
3928
************
3929
3930
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3931
(Marius Kruger)
3932
3933
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3934
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3935
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3936
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3937
3938
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3939
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

API Changes
3948
***********
3949
3950
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3951
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3952
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3953
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3954
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3955
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3956
3957
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3958
(Aaron Bentley)
3959
3960
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3961
(Martin Pool)
3962
3963
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3964
UIFactory.
3965
(Martin Pool)
3966
3967
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3968
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3969
3970
Internals
3971
*********
3972
3973
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3974
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3975
paths. (Robert Collins)
3976
3977
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3978
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3979
3980
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3981
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3982
disk. (Robert Collins)
3983
3984
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3985
it. (Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3988
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.

* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3999
(Martin Pool, #408199)
4000
4001
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
4002
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
4003
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
4004
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
4005
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
4006
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
4028
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
4029
stable".
4030
4031
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
4032
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
4033
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
4034
annoying progress bar artifacts.

Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
4038
*********************************
4039
4040
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
4041
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
4042
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
4043
4044
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
4045
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
4046
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
4047

4049
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)

4052
Compatibility Breaks
4053
********************
4054
4055
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
4056
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
4057
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.

New Features
4062
************
4063
4064
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
4065
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
4066
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
4067
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
4068
4069
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
4070
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
4071
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
4072
4073
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
4074
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
4075
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
4076
behavior.
4077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
4078
4079
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
4080
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
4081
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
4082
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
4086
*********
4087
4088
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
4089
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
4090
4091
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
4092
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
4093
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
4094
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
4095
4096
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
4097
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
4098
4099
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
4100
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
4101
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
4102
4103
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
4104
(Martin Pool, #321935)
4105
4106
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
4107
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
4108
4109
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
4110
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
4111
4112
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
4113
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
4114
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
4115
4116
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
4117
(Ian Clatworthy)
4118
4119
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
4120
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
4121
4122
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
4123
of a remote repository.
4124
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
4125
4126
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
4127
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
4128
(Andrew Bennetts)
4129
4130
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
4131
transforms.
4132
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
4133
4134
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
4135
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
4136
4137
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
4138
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
4139
4140
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
4141
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
4142
(Martin Pool, #339385)
4143
4144
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
4145
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
4146
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
4147
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
4148
(John Arbash Meinel)
4149
4150
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
4151
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
4152
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
4153
4154
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
4155
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
4156
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
4157
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
4158
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
4159
(Robert Collins, #376243)
4160
4161
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
4162
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
4163
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
4164
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
4165
activity display respectively.
4166
(Martin Pool, #340347)
4167
4168
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
4169
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
4170
4171
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
4172
(Martin Pool)
4173
4174
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.

*********
4180
4181
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
4182
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
4183
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
4184
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
4185
4186
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
4187
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
4188
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
4189
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
4190
(Robert Collins)
4191
4192
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
4193
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
4194
4195
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
4196
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
4197
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
4198
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
4199
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
4200
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4201
4202
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
4203
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
4204
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
4205
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
4206
4207
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
4208
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
4209
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
4210
(John Arbash Meinel)
4211
4212
4213
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
4214
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
4215
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
4216
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
4217
4218
4219
Improvements
4220
************
4221
4222
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
4223
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
4224
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
4225
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4226
4227
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
4228
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
4229
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)

* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
4232
(Benoît PIERRE)
4233
4234
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
4235
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
4236
4237
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
4238
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
4239
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4240
4241
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
4242
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
4243
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
4244
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)

:Released: 2009-06-26
4274
4275
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
4276
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
4277
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
4278
intermittently.
4279
4280
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
4281
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
4282
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
4283
4284
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
4285
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
4286
4287
Bug Fixes
4288
*********
4289
4290
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
4291
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4292
4293
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
4294
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
4295
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
4296
4297
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
4298
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
4299
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
4300
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
4301
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
4302
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
4303
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4304
4305
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
4306
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
4307
converted data. (Robert Collins)
4308
4309
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
4310
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
4311
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
4312
4313
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
4314
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
4315
that. (Robert Collins)
4316
4317
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
4318
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
4319
repository. (Robert Collins)
4320
4321
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
4322
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
4323
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
4324
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
4365
************
4366
4367
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
4368
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
4369
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
4370
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
4371
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
4372
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
4373
in bzr 2.0.
4374
4375
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
4376
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
4377
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
4378
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
4379
4380
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
4381
and more concisely repacks the full history.
4382
4383
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
4384
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
4385
4386
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
4387
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
4388
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
4389
4390
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
4391
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)

Improvements
4394
************
4395
4396
4397
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
4398
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
4399
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4400
4401
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
4402
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
4403
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
4404
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
4405
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
4406
4407
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
4408
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
4409
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
4410
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
4411
4412
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
4413
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
4414
* diff (2X faster)
4415
* tags (70X faster)
4416
4417
(Ian Clatworthy)
4418
4419
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
4420
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
4421
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

4430
4431
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
4432
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
4433
4434
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
4435
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
4436
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
4437
4438
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
4439
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
4440
4441
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
4442
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
4443
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
4444
4445
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
4446
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
4447
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
4448
(John Arbash Meinel)
4449
4450
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
4451
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)

* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
4454

4456
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
4457
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
4458
4459
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
4460
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
4461
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
4462
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
4463
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
4464
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
4465
bug-free) methods.
4466
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
4467
4468
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
4469
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)

4471
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
4472
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
4473
4474
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
4475
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
4476
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
4477
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
4478
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
4479
4480
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4481
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4482
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4483
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

4650
4651
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4652
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4653
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4654
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4655
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4656
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4657
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4658
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4659
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4660
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4661
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4662
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4663
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4664
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)

for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
4686
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.

Internals
4690
*********
4691
4692
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
4693
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
4694
encoding. (Robert Collins)
4695
4696
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
4697
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
4698
(Robert Collins)
4699
4700
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4701
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4702
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4703
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4704
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4705
4706
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4707
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4708
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4709
4710
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4711
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4712
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4713
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4714
4715
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4716
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4717
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4718
4719
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4720
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4721
4722
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4723
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4724
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4725
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4726
4727
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4728
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4729
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4730
4731
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4732
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4733
4734
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4735
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4736
branches. (Robert Collins)
4737
4738
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4739
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4740
4741
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4742
4743
Testing
4744
*******
4745
4746
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4747
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4798
********************
4799
4800
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4801
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4802
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4803
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4804
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4805
4806
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4807
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4808
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4809
4810
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4811
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4812
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4813
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4814
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4815
4816
New Features
4817
************
4818
4819
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4820
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4821
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4822
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4823
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4824
(Ian Clatworthy)
4825
4826
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4827
(Aaron Bentley)
4828
4829
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4830
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4831
4832
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4833
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4834
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4835
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4836
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4837
4838
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4839
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4840
4841
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4842
(Aaron bentley)
4843
4844
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4845
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4846
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4847
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4848
(Ian Clatworthy)
4849
4850
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4851
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4852
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4853
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4854
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4855
4856
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4857
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4858
(Ian Clatworthy)
4859
4860
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4861
(Aaron Bentley)
4862
4863
Improvements
4864
************
4865
4866
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4867
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4868
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4869
4870
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4871
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4872
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4873
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4874
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4875
4876
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4877
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4878
(Ian Clatworthy)
4879
4880
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4881
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4882
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4883
4884
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4885
(Ian Clatworthy)
4886
4887
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4888
(Ian Clatworthy)
4889
4890
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4891
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4892
4893
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4894
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4895
4896
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4897
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4898
4899
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4900
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4901
#294479)
4902
4903
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4904
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4905
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4906
4907
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4908
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4909
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4910
(Ian Clatworthy)
4911
4912
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4913
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4914
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4915
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4916
4917
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4918
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4919
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4920
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4921
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4922
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4923
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4924
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4925
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4926
4927
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
4931
*********
4932
4933
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4934
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4935
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4936
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4937
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4938
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4939
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4940
4941
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4942
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4943
4944
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4945
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4946
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4947
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4948
4949
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4950
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4951
4952
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4953
4954
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4955
#313028)
4956
4957
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4958
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4959
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4960
4961
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4962
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4963
4964
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4965
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4966
4967
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4968
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4969
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4970
4971
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4972
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4973
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4974
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4975
4976
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4977
4978
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4980
4981
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4982
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4983
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4984
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4985
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4986
4987
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4988
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4989
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4990
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4991
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4992
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4993
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4994
4995
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4996
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4997
4998
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4999
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
5000
(Andrea Bolognani)
5001
5002
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
5003
(James Westby, #341558)
5004
5005
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
5006
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
5007
5008
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
5009
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
5010
5011
Documentation
5012
*************
5013
5014
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
5015
5016
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
5017
5018
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
5022
***********
5023
5024
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
5025
(Martin Pool)
5026
5027
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
5028
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
5029
(Robert Collins)
5030
5031
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
5032
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
5033
(Jelmer Vernooij)
5034
5035
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
5036
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
5037
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
5038
5039
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
5040
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
5041
Meinel, Robert Collins)
5042
5043
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
5044
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
5045
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
5046
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
5047
(Ian Clatworthy)
5048
5049
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
5050
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
5051
(Jean-Francois Roy)
5052
5053
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
5054
(Martin Pool)
5055
5056
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
5057
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5058
5059
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
5060
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
5061
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
5062
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5063
5064
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
5065
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
5066
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
5067
5068
Testing
5069
*******
5070
5071
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
5072
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
5073
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
5074
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
5075
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5076
5077
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
5078
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
5079
5080
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
5081
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
5082
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
5083
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
5084
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5085
5086
Internals
5087
*********
5088
5089
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
5090
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5091
5092
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
5093
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5094
5095
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
5096
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
5097
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5098
5099
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
5100
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
5101
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
5102
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5103
5104
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
5105
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
5106
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
5107
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5108
5109
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
5110
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
5111
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5112
5113
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
5114
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
5115
dependency. (Robert Collins)
5116
5117
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
5118
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
5119
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5120
5121
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
5122
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
5123
(Robert Collins)
5124
5125
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
5126
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
5127
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
5128
5129
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
5130
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5131
5132
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
5133
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
5134
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5135
5136
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
5137
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
5138
(Jelmer Vernooij)
5139
5140
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
5141
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
5142
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5143
5144
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
5145
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
5146
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
5147
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
5148
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
5149
5150
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
5151
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
5152
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
5153
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5154
5155
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
5156
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
5157
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
5158
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5159
5160
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
5161
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
5162
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5163
5164
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
5165
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
5166
(Andrew Bennetts)
5167
5168
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
5169
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
5170
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
5171
5172
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
5173
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
5174
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
5175
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
5176
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
5177
5178
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
5179
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
5180
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
5181
Vincent Ladeuil)
5182
5183
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
5184
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
5185
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
5186
desired. (Robert Collins)
5187
5188
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
5189
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
5190
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
5191
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5192
5193
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
5194
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
5195
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
5196

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
5212
*****************************
5213
5214
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
5215
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
5216
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
5217
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
5218
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
5219
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
5220
appeared now.

Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
5230
********************************
5231
5232
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
5233
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
5234
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.

5240
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
5241
5242
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
5243
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
5244
5245
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
5246
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
5247
5248
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)

*********************************
5252
5253

5254
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
5255
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
5256

5260
Compatibility Breaks
5261
********************
5262
5263
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
5264
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
5265
command may need to be adjusted.

5268
New Features
5269
************
5270
5271
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
5272
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
5273
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
5274
5275
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
5276
(Martin Pool)
5277
5278
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
5279
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
5280
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
5281
(Ian Clatworthy)
5282
5283
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
5284
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
5285
5286
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
5287
(John Arbash Meinel)
5288
5289
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
5290
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
5291
5292
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
5293
5294
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
5295
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
5296
(Jonathan Lange)
5297
5298
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
5299
(Jonathan Lange)
5300
5301
Improvements
5302
************
5303
5304
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
5305
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
5306
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
5307
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
5308
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
5309
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
5310
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
5311
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
5312
(Robert Collins)
5313
5314
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
5315
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
5316
5317
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
5318
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
5319
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
5320
5321
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
5322
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
5323
5324
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
5325
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
5326
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
5327
(Ian Clatworthy)
5328
5329
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
5330
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
5331
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5332
5333
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
5334
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
5335
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
5336
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5337
5338
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
5339
(Jelmer Vernooij)
5340
5341
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
5342
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
5343
5344
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
5345
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
5346
5347
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
5348
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
5349
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
5350
5351
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
5352
5353
Bug Fixes
5354
*********
5355
5356
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
5357
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
5358
5359
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
5360
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
5361
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
5362
5363
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
5364
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
5365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
5366
5367
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
5368
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
5369
5370
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
5371
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
5372
Vernooij, #315048)
5373
5374
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
5375
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
5376
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
5377
5378
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
5379
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
5380
5381
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
5382
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
5383
5384
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
5385
(James Westby, #174539)
5386
5387
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
5388
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
5389
5390
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
5391
error branching from old repositories.
5392
(Martin Pool, #321695)
5393
5394
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
5395
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
5396
5397
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
5398
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
5399
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
5400
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5401
5402
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
5403
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
5404
#334808)
5405
5406
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
5407
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
5408
5409
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
5410
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
5411
5412
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
5413
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
5414
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5415
5416
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
5417
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
5418
5419
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
5420

Documentation
5423
*************
5424
5425
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
5426
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
5427
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
5428
(Ian Clatworthy)
5429
5430
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
5431
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
5432
5433
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

5436
API Changes
5437
***********
5438
5439
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
5440
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
5441
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
5442
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
5443
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
5444
5445
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
5446
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5447
5448
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
5449
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
5450
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
5451
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
5452
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
5453
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
5454
5455
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
5456
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
5457
5458
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
5459
"author" argument being deprecated.
5460
5461
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
5462
5463
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
5464
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
5465
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
5466
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
5467
5468
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
5469
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
5470
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
5471
5472
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
5473
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
5474
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
5475
5476
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
5477
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
5478
5479
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
5480
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
5481
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
5482
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
5483
5484
Internals
5485
*********
5486
5487
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
5488
free of virtual file system methods.
5489
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5490
5491
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
5492
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
5493
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
5494
5495
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
5496
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
5497
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
5498
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
5499
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
5500
(Robert Collins, #334187)
5501
5502
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
5505
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
5506
5507
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5508
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5509
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5510
stream the operation.
5511
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5512
5513
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5514
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5515
5516
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5517
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5518
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5519
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5520
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5521
5522
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5523
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5524
5525
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5526
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5527
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5528
5529
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5530
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5531
(Robert Collins)
5532
5533
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5534
(Robert Collins)
5535
5536
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5537
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5538
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5539
5540
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5541
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5542
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5543
5544
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5545
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5546
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5547
5548
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5549
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5550
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5551
5552
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5553
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5554
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5555
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5556
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5557
5558
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5559
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5560
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5561
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5562
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5563
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5564
5565
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5566
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5567
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5568
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5569
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5570
5571
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5572
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5573
5574
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5575
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)

5577
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5578
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5579
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5580
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5581
efficiently. (Robert Collins)

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5596
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5597
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5598
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5599
by showing the rate of network IO.

5601
Changes from RC1 to Final
5602
*************************
5603
5604
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5605
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5606
5607
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5608
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5609
5610
Compatibility Breaks
5611
********************
5612
5613
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5614
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5615
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5616
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5617
5618
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5619
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5620
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5621
(Ian Clatworthy)
5622
5623
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5624
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5625
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5626
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5627
5628
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5629
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5630
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5631
(Ian Clatworthy)
5632
5633
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5634
5635
New Features
5636
************
5637
5638
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5639
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5640
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5641
(Marius Kruger)
5642
5643
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5644
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5645
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5646
5647
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5648
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5649
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5650
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5651
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5652
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5653
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5654
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5655
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5656
(Ian Clatworthy)
5657
5658
Improvements
5659
************
5660
5661
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5662
(Daniel Watkins)
5663
5664
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5665
(Marius Kruger)
5666
5667
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5668
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5669
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5670
5671
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5672
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5673
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5674
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5675
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5676
5677
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5678
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5679
5680
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5681
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5682
level for better precision.
5683
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5684
5685
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5686
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5687
5688
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5689
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5690
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5691
5692
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5693
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5694
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5695
(Andrew Bennetts)
5696
5697
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5698
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5699
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5700
5701
Bug Fixes
5702
*********
5703
5704
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5705
anymore.
5706
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5707
5708
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5709
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5710
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5711
5712
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5713
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5714
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5715
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5716
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5717
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5718
5719
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5720
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5721
5722
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5723
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5724
5725
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5726
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5727
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5728
5729
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5730
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5731
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5732
(Andrew Bennetts)
5733
5734
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5735
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5736
5737
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5738
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5739
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5740
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5741
5742
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5743
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5744
handled.
5745
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5746
5747
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
5748

5754
API Changes
5755
***********
5756
5757
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5758
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5759
(Martin Pool)
5760
5761
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5762
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5763
5764
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5765
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5766
5767
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5768
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5769
5770
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5771
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5772
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5773
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5774
5775
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5776
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5777
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5778
5779
Internals
5780
*********
5781
5782
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5783
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5784
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5785
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5786
compile buffers, are such an example).
5787
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5788
5789
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5790
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5791
(Ian Clatworthy)
5792
5793
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5794
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5795
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5796
(Ian Clatworthy)
5797
5798
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5799
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5800
5801
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5802
formatters to retrict the output.

5812
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5813
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5814
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5815
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5816
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5817
5818
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5819
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5820
advice.
5821
5822
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5823
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly

marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5847
5848
New Features
5849
************
5850
5851
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5852
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5853
5854
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5855
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5856
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5857
implement other plugins.
5858
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5859
5860
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
5861
(Aaron Bentley)
5862
5863
Improvements
5864
************
5865
5866
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5867
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5868
5869
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5870
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5871
5872
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5873
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5874
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5875
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5876
(Mark Hammond)
5877
5878
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5879
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5880
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5881
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5882
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5883
5884
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5885
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5886
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5887
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5888
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
5889

Bug Fixes
5891
*********
5892
5893
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5894
control directory. (#139691)
5895
5896
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5897
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5898
5899
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5900
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5901
5902
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5903
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5904
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
5905
5906
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
5907
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
5908
5909
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
5910
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5911
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5912

* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
5920
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
5921
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
5922
5923
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5924
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5925
5926
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5927
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5928
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5929
5930
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5931
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5932
in the appropriate sections.
5933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5934
5935
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
5936
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5937
(John Arbash meinel)
5938
5939
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
5941
5942
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
5943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
5944
5945
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
5946
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5947
5948
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5949
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
5950
work better with how it splits its requests.
5951
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
5952
5953
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5954
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5955
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5956
5957
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
5958
(Aaron Bentley)
5959
5960
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
5961
5962
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
5963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)

5969
*************

5976
API Changes
5977
***********
5978
5979
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5980
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5981
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5982
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5983
5984
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5985
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5986
5987
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5988
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5989
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5990
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5991
5992
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5993
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5994
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5995
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5996
5997
Testing
5998
*******
5999
6000
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
6001
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
6002
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
6003
6004
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
6005
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
6006
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
6007
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
6008
6009
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
6010
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
6011
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
6012

6015
*********
6016
6017
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
6018
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
6019
(John Arbash Meinel)
6020
6021
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
6022
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
6023
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
6024
(John Arbash Meinel)
6025
6026
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
6027
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
6028
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
6029
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
6030
6031
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
6032
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
6033
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
6034
6035
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
6036
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
6037
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
6038
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
6039
6040
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
6041
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
6042
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
6043
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
6044

* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
6047
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
6048
6049
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
6050
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
6051
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
6052
6053
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
6054
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
6055
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
6056
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
6057
6058
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
6059
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
6060
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
6061
(John Arbash Meinel)
6062
6063
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
6064
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
6065
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
6066
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
6067
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
6068
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
6069
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6070
6071
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function

6081
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
6082
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
6083
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
6084
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
6085
implementation.
6086
6087
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
6088
6089
bug Fixes
6090
*********
6091
6092
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
6093
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
6094
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
6095
(Martin Pool, #303856)
6096
6097
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
6098
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
6099
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
6100
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
6101
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

6109
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
6110
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
6111
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
6112
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
6113
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features
6116
************
6117
6118
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
6119
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6120
6121
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
6125
************
6126
6127
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
6128
history just to set the last revision info.
6129
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6130
6131
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
6132
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
6133
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
6134
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6135
6136
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
6137
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
6138
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
6139
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
6140
(John Arbash Meinel)
6141
6142
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
6143
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6144
6145
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
6146
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
6147
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
6148
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
6149
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
6150
6151
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
6152
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
6153
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
6154
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
6155
6156
Bug Fixes
6157
*********
6158
6159
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
6160
(Martin Pool, #289148)
6161
6162
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
6163
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
6164
6165
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
6166
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
6167
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
6168
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
6169
6170
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
6171
starting with a dotted revno.
6172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
6173
6174
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
6175
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
6176
(Martin Pool, #288751)
6177
6178
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
6179
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
6180
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6181
6182
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
6183
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
6184
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
6185
6186
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
6187
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
6188
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
6189
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
6190
6191
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
6192
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
6193
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
6194
6195
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

6198
API Changes
6199
***********
6200
6201
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
6202
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
6203
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
6204
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
6205
6206
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
6207
have changed incompatibly.
6208
6209
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
6210
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
6211
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
6212
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
6213
don't need to change.
6214
6215
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
6216
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

:Released: 2008-11-07
6231
6232
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
6233
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
6234
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
6235
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
6236
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
6237
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
6238
6239
Bug Fixes
6240
*********
6241
6242
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
6243
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
6244
6245
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
6246

6260
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
6261
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
6262
6263
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
6264
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
6265
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
6266
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
6267
6268
Improvements
6269
************
6270
6271
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
6272
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
6273
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
6274
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
6275
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
6276
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
6277
6278
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
6279
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6280
6281
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
6282
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
6283
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
6284
6285
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
6286
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
6287
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
6288
(Andrew Bennetts)
6289
6290
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
6291
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
6292
6293
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
6294
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
6295
6296
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
6297
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
6298
6299
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
6300
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
6301
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
6302
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
6303
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
6304
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
6305
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
6306
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
6307
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
6308
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
6311
*********
6312
6313
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
6314
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
6315
6316
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
6317
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
6318
6319
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
6320
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
6321
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
6322
6323
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
6324
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
6325
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
6326
6327
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
6328
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
6329
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
6330
6331
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
6332
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
6333
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
6334
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
6335
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
6336
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
6337
6338
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
6339
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
6340
6341
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
6342
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
6343
6344
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
6345
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
6346
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
6347
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
6348
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6349
6350
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6351
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6352
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

6403
6404
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
6405
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
6406
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
6407
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
6408
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)

6411
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)

6415
6416
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
6417
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
6418
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
6419
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with

* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
6436
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
6437
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
6438
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
6439
6440

6441
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
6442
(Daniel Watkins)
6443
6444

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
6457
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
6458
6459
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
6460
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
6461
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
6462
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
6463
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
6464
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
6465
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
6466
operations. (Robert Collins)

* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from

6677
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown

************
6707
6708
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6709
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6710
(Martin Pool)
6711
6712
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6713
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6714
6715
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6716
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6717
(Marius Kruger)
6718
6719
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6720
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6721
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6722
(John Arbash Meinel)
6723
6724
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6725
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6726
6727
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6728
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6729
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6730
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6731
(John Arbash Meinel)
6732
6733
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6734
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6735
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6736
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6737
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6738
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6739
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6740
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6741
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6742
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

*********
6746

* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6748
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6749
6750
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6751
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6752
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6753
6754
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6755
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6756
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6757
6758
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6759
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6760
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6761
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6762
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6763
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6764
6765
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6766
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6767
6768
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6769
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6770
6771
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6772
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6773
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6774
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6775
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6776
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #255204)
6777
6778
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6779
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6780
6781
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6782
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6783
6784
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6785
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6786
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6787
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6788
6789
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6790
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6791
6792
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6793
assuming the host name is ascii.
6794
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
6795

6849
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6850
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6851
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6852
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6853
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

6857
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6858
6859
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6860
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6861
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6862
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6863
6864
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6865
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6866
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6867
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

############
6896
6897
:Released: 2008-08-29
6898
6899
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6900
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6901
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6902
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6903
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6904
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6905
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6906
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6907
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6908
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6909
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6910
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6911
6912
Bug Fixes
6913
*********
6914
6915
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6916
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6917
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6918
start of the string (causing more copies).
6919
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6920
especially for projects with large files.
6921
(John Arbash Meinel)
6922
6923
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6924
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6925
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6926
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6927
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6928
6929
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6930
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6931
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6932
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6933
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
6943
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6944
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6945
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6946
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6947
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6948
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6949
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6950
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

7004
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
7005
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
7006
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
7007
7008
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
7009
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
7010
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
7011
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
7012
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
7013
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
7014
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

7035
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
7036
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
7037
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
7038
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.

(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)

7041
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
7042
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7043

* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
7045
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)

* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
7048
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
7049
7050
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
7051
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
7052
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
7053
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
7054
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
7055
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

7063
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
7064
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
7065
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
7066
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
7067
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
7068
7069
Changes
7070
*******
7071
7072
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
7073
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
7074
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
7075
7076
Improvements
7077
************
7078
7079
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
7080
check. (Daniel Watkins)
7081
7082
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
7083
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
7084
7085
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
7086
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
7087
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7088
7089
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
7090
(James Westby)
7091
7092
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
7093
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
7094
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
7095
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
7096
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
7097
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
7098
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7099
7100
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
7101
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
7102
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
7103
7104
Bug Fixes
7105
*********
7106
7107
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
7108
physical repository boundaries.
7109
(Martin Pool, #252428)
7110
7111
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
7112
(Martin Pool, #206258)
7113
7114
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
7115
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
7116
(Martin Pool)
7117
7118
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
7119
(Ian Clatworthy)
7120
7121
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
7122
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
7123
that Python is running from.
7124
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
7125
7126
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
7127
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
7128
(Robert Collins, #150438)
7129
7130
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
7131
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
7132
7133
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
7134
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
7135
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
7136
7137
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.

API Changes
7144
***********
7145
7146
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
7147
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
7148
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
7149
(Robert Collins)
7150
7151
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
7152
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
7153
(Robert Collins)
7154
7155
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
7156
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
7157
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
7158
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
7159
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
7160
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
7161
(Robert Collins)
7162
7163
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
7164
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7165
7166
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
7167
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
7168
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
7169
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
7170
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
7171
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
7172
7173
Internals
7174
*********
7175
7176
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
7177
putting together a real history without having to create a full
7178
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
7179
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
7180
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
7181
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7182
7183
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
7184
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
7185
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
7186
7187
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
7188
(Ian Clatworthy)
7189
7190
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
7191
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
7192
7193
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

:Released: 2008-07-17
7201
7202
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
7203
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
7204
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
7205
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
7206
bug fixes.
7207
7208
Features
7209
********
7210
7211
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
7212
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
7213
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
7214
7215
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
7216
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
7217
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
7218
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
7219
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
7220
(Ian Clatworthy)
7221
7222
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
7223
7224
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
7225
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
7226
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
7227
(Robert Collins)
7228
7229
Improvements
7230
************
7231
7232
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
7233
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
7234
(Martin Pool)
7235
7236
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
7237
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
7238
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
7239
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
7240
7241
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
7242
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
7243
(Christophe Troestler)
7244
7245
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
7246
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
7247
7248
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
7249
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
7250
faster. The new request method name is
7251
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7252
7253
Bug Fixes
7254
*********
7255
7256
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
7257
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
7258
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
7259
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
7260
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
7261
7262
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
7263
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
7264
7265
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
7266
requires a branch to be present.
7267
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
7268
7269
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
7270
loaded.
7271
(Martin Pool, #205230)
7272
7273
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
7274
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
7275
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
7276
(Martin Pool, #240161)
7277
7278
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
7279
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
7280
7281
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
7282
name contains an @.
7283
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
7284
7285
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
7286
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
7287
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
7288
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
7289
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
7290
7291
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
7292
(Martin Pool, #172870)
7293
7294
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
7295
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
7296
7297
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
7298
Cygwin Bazaar.
7299
(Matt McClure, #209281)
7300
7301
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.

7319
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
7320
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
7321
7322
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
7323
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
7324
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
7325
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
7326
7327
API Changes
7328
***********
7329
7330
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
7331
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
7332
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
7333
Repository docstring for more details.
7334
(Robert Collins)
7335
7336
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
7337
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
7338
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
7339
7340
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
7341
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
7342
(Daniel Watkins)
7343
7344
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
7345
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
7346
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
7347
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

7351
7352
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.

(Alexander Belchenko)
7354
7355
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
7356
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
7357
containing a given location.
7358
(Daniel Watkins)
7359
7360
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
7361
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
7362
storage. (Robert Collins)
7363
7364
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
7365
(Robert Collins)
7366
7367
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,

7384
7385
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
7386
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
7387
reading from the repository.)
7388
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)

* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
7398
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
7399
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
7400
7401
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
7402
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
7403
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
7404
7405
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
7406
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
7407
7408
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
7409

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

uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
7465
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
7466
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
7467
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers

7471
Notes When Upgrading
7472
********************
7473
7474
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
7475
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
7476
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
7477
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will

7497
************
7498
7499
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
7500
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
7501
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
7502
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7503
7504
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
7505
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
7506
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7507
7508
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7509
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7510
7511
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7512
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7513
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7514
7515
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7516
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7517
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7518
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7519
step closer to not using full revision history.

7523
********
7524
7525

7526
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
7527
7528
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7529
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7530
7531
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
7532
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
7533
7534
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
7535
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
7536
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
7537
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
7538
7539
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
7540
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
7541
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
7542
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
7543
7544
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
7545
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
7546
in use by another process.
7547
(Martin Pool)
7548
7549
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
7550
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
7551
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
7552
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
7553
7554
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
7555
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
7556
7557
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
7558
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
7559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
7560

7562
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
7563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
7564
7565
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
7566
them.
7567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
7568
7569
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
7570
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
7571
7572
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
7573
under vim on Mac OS X.
7574
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7575
7576

* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
7611
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
7612
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.

API Changes
7616
***********
7617
7618
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7619
instead. (Martin Pool)
7620
7621
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7622
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7623
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7624
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7625
7626
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7627
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7628
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7629
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7630
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7631
7632
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7633
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7634
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7635
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7636
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7637
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7638
7639
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7640
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7641
(Martin Pool)
7642
7643
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7644
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7645
(Robert Collins)
7646
7647
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7648
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7649
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7650
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7651
7652
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7653
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7654
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7655
7656
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7657
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7658
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7659
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7660
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7661
(Martin Pool)
7662
7663
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7664
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7665
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7666
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7667
(Robert Collins)
7668
7669
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7670
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7671
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7672
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7673
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7674
7675
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7946
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
7947
Andrew Cowie)
7948
7949
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
7950
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
7951
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.

Features
7955
********
7956
7957
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
7958
7959
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
7960
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7961
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
7962
7963
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
7964
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
7965
See the User Reference for signature details.
7966

* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
7969
repository. (Aaron Bentley)

7971
Improvements
7972
************
7973
7974
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7975
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7976
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7977
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7978
7979
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7980
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7981
7982
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7983
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7984
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7985
Wouter van Heyst)
7986
7987
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7988
(Chad Miller)
7989
7990
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7991
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7992
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7993
7994
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7995
(Aaron Bentley)
7996
7997
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7998
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7999
8000
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
8001
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
8002
8003
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
8004
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
8005
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
8006
8007
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
8008
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
8009
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
8010
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
8011
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
8012
8013
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
8014
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
8015
8016
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
8017
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8018
8019
Bugfixes
8020
********
8021
8022
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
8023
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
8024
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
8025
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
8026
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
8027
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
8028
8029
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
8030
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
8031
8032
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
8033
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
8034
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
8035
8036
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
8037
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
8038
8039
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
8040
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
8041
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
8042
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8043
8044
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
8045
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
8046
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
8047
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
8048
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
8049
8050
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
8051
8052
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
8053
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
8054
8055
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
8056
8057
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
8058
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
8059
8060
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

**********
8076
8077
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
8078
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
8079
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
8080
8081
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
8082
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
8083
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
8084
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
8085
8086
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
8087
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
8088
release. (James Westby)
8089
8090
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
8091
(Andrew Bennetts)
8092
8093
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
8094
8095
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
8096
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8097
8098
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
8099
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8100
8101
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
8102
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
8103
8104
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
8105
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
8106
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
8107
8108
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
8109
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
8110
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
8111
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
8112
8113
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
8114
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
8115
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
8116
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
8117
8118
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
8119
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
8120
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
8121
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
8122
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
8123
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
8124
8125
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
8126
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
8127
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
8128
8129
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
8130
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8131
8132
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
8133
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
8134
(Robert Collins)
8135
8136
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
8137
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
8138
8139
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
8140
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
8141
8142
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
8143
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
8144
8145
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
8146
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
8147
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
8148
8149
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
8150
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
8151
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
8152
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
8153
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
8154
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
8155
8156
Testing
8157
*******
8158
8159
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
8160
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
8161
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
8162
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
8163
8164
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
8165
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
8166
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
8167
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
8168
implement this).
8169
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8170
8171
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
8172
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
8173
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8174
8175
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
8176
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
8179
8180
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
8181
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
8182
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)

8186
8187
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8188
8189
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
8190
(Martin Albisetti)
8191
8192
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
8193
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
8194
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
8195
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
8196
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
8197
(Martin Pool, #109520)
8198
8199
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
8200
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
8201
8202
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
8203
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
8204
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
8205

8207
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
8208

8265
8266
Changes
8267
*******
8268
8269
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
8270
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
8271
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
8272
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
8273
(Robert Collins)
8274
8275
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
8276
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
8277
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
8278
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
8279
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
8280
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
8281
8282
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
8283
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
8284
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
8285

8287
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)

8304
8305
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
8306
8307
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8308
8309
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
8310
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
8311
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)

8313
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
8314
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)

8316
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
8317
to. (Daniel Watkins)

* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
8320
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
8321
(Alexander Belchenko)
8322
8323
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
8324
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
8325
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
8326
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
8327
8328
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
8329
(Daniel Watkins)
8330
8331
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
8332
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
8333
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
8334
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
8335
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

(Alexander Belchenko)
8419
8420
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
8421
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
8422
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
8423
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
8424
8425
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
8426
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
8427
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
8428
(Robert Collins)
8429
8430
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
8431
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
8432
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
8433
8434
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
8435
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
8436
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
8437
8438
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
8439
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
8440
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
8441
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8461
********************
8462
8463
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
8464
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
8465
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
8466
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
8467
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
8468
(Andrew Bennetts)
8469
8470
Changes
8471
*******
8472
8473
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
8474
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
8475
8476
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
8477
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
8478
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
8479
8480
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
8481
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
8482
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
8483
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
8484
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
8485
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
8486
(Aaron Bentley)
8487
8488
Features
8489
********
8490
8491
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
8492
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8493
8494
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
8495
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
8496
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
8497
(Robert Collins)
8498
8499
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
8500
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
8501
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
8502
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
8503
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
8504
8505
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
8506
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
8507
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8508
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8509
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8510
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8511
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8512
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
8513
8514
Improvements
8515
************
8516
8517
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8518
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8519
8520
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8521
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8522
8523
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8524
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8525
8526
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8527
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8528
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8529
8530
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8531
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

Bugfixes
8535
********
8536
8537
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8538
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8539
8540
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8541
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8542
8543
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8544
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8545
8546
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8547
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8548
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8549
8550
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8551
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8552
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8553
8554
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8555
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8556
8557
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8558
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8559
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8560
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8561
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8562
unittest runner.
8563
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8564
8565
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8566
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8567
#185907)
8568
8569
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8570
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8571
8572
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8573
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8574
8575
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8577
8578
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8579
more characters which should be considered valid.
8580
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8581
8582
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8583
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8584
8585
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8586
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
8587
8588
API Breaks
8589
**********
8590
8591
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8592
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8593
8594
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8595
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8596
(Martin Pool)
8597
8598
Testing
8599
*******
8600
8601
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8602
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8603
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8604
8605
Internals
8606
*********
8607
8608
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8609
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8610
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8611
8612
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8613
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8614
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8615
8616
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8617
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8618
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8619
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8620
8621
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8622
8623
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8624
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8625
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8626
server. (Robert Collins)
8627
8628
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8629
operate. (Robert Collins)
8630
8631
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8632
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8633
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8634
8635
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8636
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8637
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8638
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8639
8640
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8641
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8642
8643
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8644
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8645
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8646
8647
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8648
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8649
8650
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8651
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8652
8653
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8654
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8655
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8656
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

*******
8673
8674
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8675
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8676
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8677
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8678
8679
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8680
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has

8701
8702
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8703

8704
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8705
8706
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8707
8708
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8709
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8710
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8711
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8712
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8713
8714
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8715
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8716
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
9026
********************
9027
9028
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
9029
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
9030
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
9031
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
9032
9033
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
9034
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
9035
9036
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
9037
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
9038
9039
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
9040
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
9041
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
9042
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
9043
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
9044
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
9045
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
9046
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
9047
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
9048
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
9049
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
9050
from any tree without problems.

9323
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
9324
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
9325
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
9326
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
9327
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
9328
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
9329
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
9330
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
9331
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
9332
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
9391

9392
9393
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history

************
9398
9399
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
9400
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
9401
9402
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
9403
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
9404
9405
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
9406
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
9407
9408
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
9409
(Martin Pool, #63894)
9410
9411
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
9412
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)

9416
9417
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
9418
9419
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.

Bug Fixes
9423
*********
9424
9425
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
9426
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
9427
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
9428
9429
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
9430
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
9431
9432
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
9433
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
9434
9435
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
9436
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
9437
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
9438
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
9439
9440
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
9441
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
9442
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
9443
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
9444
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
9445
9446
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
9447
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
9448
paramiko.
9449
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
9450
9451
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9452
9453
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
9454
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
9455
9456
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
9457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
9458
9459
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
9460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
9461
9462
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
9463
contains a symbolic link.
9464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
9465
9466
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
9467
(James Westby, #140615)
9468
9469
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
9470
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
9471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
9472
9473
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
9474
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
9475
(Martin Pool, #144633)
9476
9477
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
9478
9479
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
9480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
9481
9482
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
9483
will remain opened.
9484
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
9485
9486
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
9487
directory to detect leaking tests.
9488
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
9489
9490
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
9491
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
9492
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
9493
9494
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
9495
(Rob Weir, #141629)
9496
9497
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
9498
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
9499
9500
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
9501
Merwe)
9502
9503
API Breaks
9504
**********
9505
9506
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
9507
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
9508
9509
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9510
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
9511
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9512
9513
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9514
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9515
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
9516
9517
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
9518
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
9519
9520
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
9521
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
9522
9523
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
9524
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
9525
(Martin Pool)
9526
9527
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
9528
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
9529
9530
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
9531
class that needs it.
9532
(Martin Pool)
9533
9534
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9535
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9536
9537
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9538
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9539
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9540
9541
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
9542
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
9543
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9544
(Robert Collins)
9545
9546
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9547
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9548
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9549
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9550
(Robert Collins)
9551
9552
Internals
9553
*********
9554
9555
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9556
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9557
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9558
9559
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9560
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9561
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9562
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9563
9564
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9565
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9566
(Robert Collins)
9567
9568
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9569
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9570
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9571
9572
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9573
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9574
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9575
9576
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9577
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9578
9579
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9580
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9581
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9582
9583
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9584
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9585
9586
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9587
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9588
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9589
9590
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9591
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9592
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9593
9594
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9595
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9596
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9597
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9598
9599
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9600
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9601
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9602
returned. (Robert Collins)
9603
9604
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9605
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9606
9607
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9608
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9609
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9610
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9611
(Robert Collins)
9612
9613
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9614
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9615
9616
Testing
9617
*******
9618
9619
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9620
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9621
9622
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9623
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9624
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9625
makes this behavior available to other users.
9626
(Martin Pool)
9627
9628
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9629
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
9671
*******
9672
9673
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9674
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9675
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9676
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9677
(Martin Pool)
9678
9679
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9680
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9681
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9682
(Ian Clatworthy)
9683
9684
Features
9685
********
9686
9687
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9688
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9689
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9690
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9691
9692
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9693
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9694
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9695
9696
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9697
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9698
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9699
9700
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9701
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9702
9703
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9704
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9705
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9706
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9707
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9708
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9709
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9710
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9711
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9712
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9713
9714
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9715
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9716
9717
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9718
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9719
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9720
9721
Bug Fixes
9722
*********
9723
9724
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9725
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9726
9727
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9728
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9729
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9730
9731
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9732
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9733
9734
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9735
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9736
9737
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9738
(Aaron Bentley)
9739
9740
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9741
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9742
9743
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9744
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9745
9746
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9747
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9748
9749
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9750
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9751
9752
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9753
9754
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9755
Watkins, #106726)
9756
9757
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9758
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9759
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9760
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9761
9762
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9763
9764
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9765
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9766
#133548)
9767
9768
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9769
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9770
9771
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9772
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9773
#116143)
9774
9775
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9776
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9777
9778
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9779
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9780
9781
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9782
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9783
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9784
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9785
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9786
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9787
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9788
9789
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9790
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9791
9792
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9793
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9794
9795
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9796
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9797
9798
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9800
9801
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9802
connections.
9803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9804
9805
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9806
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9807
9808
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9809
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9810
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9811
9812
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9813
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
9817
************
9818
9819
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9820
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9821
9822
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9823
(Aaron Bentley)
9824
9825
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9826
(Aaron Bentley)
9827
9828
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9829
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9830
9831
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9832
9833
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9834
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9835
9836
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9837
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9838
9839
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9840
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9841
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9842
space). (Robert Collins)
9843
9844
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9845
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9846
(Ian Clatworthy)
9847
9848
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9849
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9850
9851
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9852
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)

* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9855
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9856
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9857
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9858
9859
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9860
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9861
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9862
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9863
9864
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9865
(Ian Clatworthy)
9866
9867
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9868
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9869
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9870
9871
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9872
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9873
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9874
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9875
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)

**********
9879
9880
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9881
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9882
9883
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9884
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9885
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9886
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9887
affected. (Robert Collins)
9888
9889
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9890
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9891
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9892
(Robert Collins)
9893
9894

9895
previous release. (Martin Pool)

9900
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be

9902
9903
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9904
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9905
9906
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9907

9908
9909
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9910
(Aaron Bentley)
9911
9912
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9913
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)

Internals
9916
*********
9917
9918
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9919
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9920
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9921
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9922
9923
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9924
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9925
9926
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9927
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9928
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9929
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9930
9931
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9932
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9933
present. (Robert Collins)
9934
9935
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9936
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9937
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9938
API. (Robert Collins)
9939
9940
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9941
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9942
(Robert Collins)
9943
9944
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9945
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9946
9947
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9948
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9949
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9950
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9951
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9952
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9953
9954
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9955
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9956
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9957
9958
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9959
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9960
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9961
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9962
protocol.
9963
9964
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9965
(Aaron Bentley)
9966
9967
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9968
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9969
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9970
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9971
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9972
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9973
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9974
9975
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9976
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9977
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9978
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9979
9980
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9981
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9982
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9983
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9984
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9985
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9986
9987
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9988
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9989
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9990
9991
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9992
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Bugfixes
10027
********
10028
10029
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
10030
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
10031
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
10032
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
10033
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
10034
10035
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
10036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
10037
10038
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
10039
anymore.
10040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
10041
10042
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
10043
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
10044
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10045
10046
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
10047
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
10048
#111664)
10049
10050
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
10051
(Lukáš Lalinský)
10052
10053
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
10054
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
10055
10056
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
10057
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
10058
10059
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
10060
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
10061
10062
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
10063
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
10064
10065
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
10066
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
10067
10068
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.

************
10073
10074
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
10075
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
10076
10077
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
10078
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
10079
10080
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
10081
the repository (Robert Collins)
10082
10083
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
10084
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
10085
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
10086
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
10087
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
10088
10089
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
10090
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10091
10092
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
10093
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
10094
(John Arbash Meinel)
10095
10096
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
10097
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
10098
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
10099
about 10%).
10100
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
10101
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
10102
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
10103
(John Arbash Meinel)
10104
10105
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
10106
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
10107
(Robert Collins)
10108
10109
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
10110
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
10111
10112
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
10113
(Ian Clatworthy)
10114
10115
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
10116
10117
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
10118
10119
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
10120
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
10121
10122
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
10123
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
10124
Meinel)
10125
10126
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
10127
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
10128
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
10129
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10130
10131
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
10132
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
10133
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
10134
10135
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
10136
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
10137
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
10138
10139
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
10140
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
10141
10142
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
10143
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
10144
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
10145
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
10146
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
10147
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
10148
(Ian Clatworthy)
10149
10150
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
10151
(Alexander Belchenko)
10152
10153
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
10154
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
10155
10156
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
10157
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
10158
10159
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
10160
10161
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey

Library API Breaks
10165
******************
10166
10167
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
10168
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
10169
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
10170
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
10171
10172
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
10173
10174
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
10175
(Robert Collins)
10176
10177
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
10178
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
10179
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
10180
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
10181
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
10182
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
10183
10184
Internals
10185
*********
10186
10187
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
10188
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
10189
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
10190
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
10191
10192
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
10193
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
10194
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
10195
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
10196
tests have been refactored too.
10197
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10198
10199
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
10200
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
10201
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
10202
list, it will.
10203
(Vincent Ladeuil)
10204
10205
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
10206
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
10207
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
10208
10209
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
10210
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
10211
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
10212
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
10213
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
10214
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
10215
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
10216
10217
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
10218
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
10219
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
10220
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
10221
(John Arbash Meinel)
10222
10223
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
10224
functionality for testing.
10225
10226
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
10227
10228
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
10229
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10230
10231
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
10232
10233
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
10234
(Robert Collins)
10235
10236
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
10237
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
10238
10239
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
10240
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
10241
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
10242
10243
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
10244
(Aaron Bentley)
10245
10246
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
10247
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
10248
10249
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
10250
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
10251
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
10252
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
10253
10254
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
10255
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
10256
10257
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
10258
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
10259
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
10260
10261
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
10262
(Marius Kruger)
10263
10264
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
10265
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
10266
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
10267
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
10268
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
10269
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
10270
10271
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
10272
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
10273
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
10274
many files. (Robert Collins)
10275
10276
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
10277
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
10278
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
10279
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
10280
10281
Testing
10282
*******
10283
10284
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
10285
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
10286
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
10287
10288
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
10289
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
10290
10291
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
10292
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
10293

************
10362
10363
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
10364
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
10365
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
10366
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
10367
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
10368
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
10369
10370
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
10371
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
10372
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
10373
10374
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
10375
(Elliot Murphy)
10376
10377
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
10378
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
10379
10380
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
10381
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
10382
10383
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
10384
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
10385
10386
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
10387
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
10388
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
10389
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
10390
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
10391
10392
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
10393
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
10394
10395
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
10396
can be slow it is useful feedback).
10397
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
10398

10408
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.

10410
10411

* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
10415
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)

10449
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

10451
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
10452
(Robert Collins)
10453
10454
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
10455
10456
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
10457
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
10458
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
10459
10460
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
10461
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
10462
10463
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
10464
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10465
10466
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
10467
10468
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
10469
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
10470
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
10471
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
10472
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
10473
same location. (Robert Collins)
10474
10475
Internals
10476
*********
10477
10478
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
10479
10480
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
10481
10482
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
10483
10484
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
10485
(Martin Pool)
10486
10487
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
10488
(Martin Pool)
10489
10490
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
10491
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
10492
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
10493
10494
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
10495
10496
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
10497
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
10498
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
10499
10500
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
10501
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
10502
10503
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
10504
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
10505
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
10506
10507
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10508
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10509
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10510
10511
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
10512
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
10513
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
10514
10515
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
10516
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
10517
Martin Pool)
10518
10519
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
10520
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
10521
10522
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
10523
(Alexander Belchenko)
10524
10525
Testing
10526
*******
10527
10528
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10529
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10530
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10531
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10532
10533
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10534
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10535
testing. (Robert Collins)
10536
10537
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10538
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10539
10540
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10541
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10542
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10543
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10544
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10545
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10546
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10547
10548
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10549
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10550
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10551
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10552
10553
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10554
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10555
10556
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10557
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
10582
********************
10583
10584
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10585
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10586
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10587
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10588
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10589
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10590
and unlock() like so::
10591
10592
work_tree.lock_read()
10593
try:
10594
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
10595
finally:
10596
work_tree.unlock()
10597
10598
Internals
10599
*********
10600
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10601
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10602
object.
10603
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10604
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10605
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10606
10607
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
10608
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
10609
too. (Robert Collins)
10610
10611
Improvements
10612
************
10613
10614
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
10615
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10616
Aaron Bentley)
10617
10618
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10619
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10620
10621
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10622
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10623
10624
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10625
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10626
understanding what changes have occurred
10627
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10628
10629
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10630
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10631
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10632
10633
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10634
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10635
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10636
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
10637

10644
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
10645
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
10646
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
10647
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
10648
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
10649
10650
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
10651
based on split paths, not just string paths.
10652
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
10653

10658

10659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
10660
10661
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
10662
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
10663
10664
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
10665
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
10666
10667
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
10668
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
10669
10670
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
10671
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
10672
10673
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.

Notes When Upgrading
10745
********************
10746
10747
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
10748
it could be recovered again.
10749
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10750
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
10751
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
10752
but not delete it.
10753
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
10754
files.
10755
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

************
10760
10761
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10762
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10763
10764
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10765
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10766
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10767
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10768
10769
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10770
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10771
10772
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10773
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10774
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10775
10776
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10777
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10778
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10779
10780
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10781
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10782
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10783
10784
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10785
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10786
Robert Collins)
10787
10788
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10789
Pool)
10790
10791
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10792
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10793
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10794
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10795
10796
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10797
(Robert Collins)
10798
10799
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10800
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10801
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10802
(Robert Collins)
10803
10804
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10805
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10806
10807
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10808
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10809
10810
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10811
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10812
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10813
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10814
(Robert Collins)
10815
10816
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10817
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10818
10819
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10820
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10821
10822
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10823
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10824
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10825
10826
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10827
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10828
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10829
10830
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10831
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10832
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10833
10834
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10835
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10836
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10837
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10838
10839
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10840
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10841
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10842
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10843
10844
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10845
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10846
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10847
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10848
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10849
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10850
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10851
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10852
header(s).

10856
*********
10857
10858
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10859
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10860
10861
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10862
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10863
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10864
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10865
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10866
10867
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10868
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10869
10870
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10871
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10872
10873
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10874
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10875
10876
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10877
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10878
10879
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10880
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10881
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10882
(Robert Collins).
10883
10884
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10885
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10886
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10887
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10888
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10889
(Robert Collins)
10890
10891
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10892
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10893
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10894
10895
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10896
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10897
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10898
10899
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10900
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10901
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10902
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10903
10904
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10905
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10906
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10907
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10908
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10909
10910
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10911
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10912
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10913
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10914
10915
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10916
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10917
10918
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10919
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10920
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10921
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10922
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10923
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10924
10925
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10926
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10927
10928
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10929
help. (Robert Collins)
10930
10931
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10932
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10933
10934
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10935
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10936
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10937
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10938
(John Arbash Meinel)
10939
10940
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10941
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10942
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10943
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10944
useful. (Robert Collins)
10945
10946
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

10956
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
10957

10966
the file, and does it faster.
10967
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
10968
10969
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
10970
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
10971
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
10972
10973
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10974
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10975
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10976
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10977
10978
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10979
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
10980
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
10981
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
10982
10983
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
10984
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
10985
10986
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
10987
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
10988
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
10989
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
10990
Arbash Meinel)
10991
10992
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
10993
10994
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
10995
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
10996
10997
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
10998
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
10999
11000
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
11001
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
11002
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
11003
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
11004
security hole.
11005
(Vincent Ladeuil)
11006
11007
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
11008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).

Testing
11011
*******
11012
11013
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
11014
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
11015
in running it. (Robert Collins)
11016
11017
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
11018
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
11019
11020
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
11021
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
11022
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
11023
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
11024
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
11025
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
11026
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
11027
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
11028
11029
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
11030
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
11031
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
11032
11033
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
11034
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
11035
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
11036
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
11037
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
11038
access.
11039
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
11040
11041
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
11042
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
11043
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
11044
11045
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
11046
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

************
11078
11079
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
11080
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
11081
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
11082
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
11083
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
11084
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
11085
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
11086
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

path. (vila)

11094
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
11095

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

11180
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
11181
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
11182
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
11183
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
11184
11185
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
11186
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
11187
11188
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
11189
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)

11204
*********
11205
11206
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
11207
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
11208
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
11209
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
11210
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
11211
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
11212
11213
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
11214
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
11215
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
11216
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
11217
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
11218
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
11219
development.
11220
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
11221
11222
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
11223
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
11224
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
11225
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
11226
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
11227
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
11228
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
11229
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

11232
************
11233
11234
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
11235
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
11236
11237
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
11238
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
11239
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
11240
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
11241
does exist.
11242
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
11243
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
11244
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
11245
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
11246
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
11247
11248
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
11249
(Aaron Bentley)
11250
11251
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
11252
(Aaron Bentley)
11253
11254
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
11255
(Robert Collins)
11256
11257
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
11258
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
11259
(Aaron Bentley)
11260
11261
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
11262
(Aaron Bentley)
11263
11264
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
11265
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
11266
11267
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
11268
directory. (Martin Pool)
11269
11270
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
11271
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
11272
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
11273
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
11274
11275
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
11276
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
11277
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
11278
in docs/configuration.txt.
11279
11280
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
11281
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
11282
bind location.
11283
11284
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
11285
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
11286
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
11287
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
11288
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
11289
repositories. (Martin Pool)
11290
11291
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
11292
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11293
11294
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
11295
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
11296
11297
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

Internals
11301
*********
11302
11303
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
11304
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
11305
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
11306
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
11307
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
11308
(John Arbash Meinel)
11309
11310
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
11311
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
11312
(Aaron Bentley)
11313
11314
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
11315
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
11316
(John Arbash Meinel)
11317
11318
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
11319
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
11320
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
11321
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
11322
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
11323
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
11324
11325
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
11326
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
11327
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
11328
11329
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
11330
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
11331
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
11332
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
11333
repository.
11334
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11335
11336
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
11337
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
11338
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
11339
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
11340
11341
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
11342
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
11343
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
11344
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
11345
11346
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
11347
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
11348
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
11349
11350
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
11351
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
11352
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
11353
11354
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
11355
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
11356
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
11357
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
11358
11359
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
11360
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
11361
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
11362
11363
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
11364
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
11365
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
11366
11367
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
11368
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
11369
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
11370
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
11371
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
11372
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
11373
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
11374
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
11375
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

11386
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
11387

11461
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart

11463
server, then you can write over the http connection.
11464

11466
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
11467
(Marius Kruger)
11468
11469
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
11470
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
11471
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)

11478
11479
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
11480
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
11481
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
11482
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
11483
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
11484
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
11485
11486
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
11487
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
11488
should enable you to do::
11489
11490
[/home/user/project]
11491
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
11492
push_location:policy = appendpath
11493
11494
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
11495
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
11496
(James Henstridge)
11497
11498

* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
11628
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
11629
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
11630
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
11631
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes

(John Arbash Meinel)
11644
11645
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
11646

11647
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.

11664
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11665
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11666
11667
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11668
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11669
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``

11671
11672

11673
11674
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11675
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11676
11677
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11678
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11679
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
11681
11682
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
11683

11684
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11685
11686
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11687
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11688
them as full references rather than integers.
11689
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11690
11691
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11692
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11693
11694
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)

* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11703

11704
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
11705
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11706
11707
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11708
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
11709
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
11710
11711
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11712
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11713
11714
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11715
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11716
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11717
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

11746
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11747
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11748
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11749
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11750

11752
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11753
11754
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11755
11756
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11757
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11758
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11759
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11760
11761
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11762
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11763

11764

(John Arbash Meinel)
11783
11784

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11795
11796
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11797

11798
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11799

* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11830

11890
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11891
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11892
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11893
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11894
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when

11914
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
12017
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
12018
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
12019
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
12020
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
12021
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
12022
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
12023
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
12024
caller to repeat their request.

12031
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
12032
12033
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
12034
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
12035
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
12036
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
12037
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
12038
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
12039
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
12040
12041
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch

``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
12044
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
12045
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
12046
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
12047
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
12048
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.

* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
12052
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
12053
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
12054

* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
12056
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
12057
12058
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
12059
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
12060

12068
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
12069
12070
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
12071
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
12072
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
12073
12074

************
12085
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
12086
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
12087
12088
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
12089
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
12090
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
12091
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
12092
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
12093
12094
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
12095
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
12096
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
12097
12098
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
12099
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
12100
12101
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
12102
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

12107
12108
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
12109
12110
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
12111
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
12112
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
12113
12114
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
12115
12116
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
12117
12118
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
12119
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
12120
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
12121
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
12122
12123
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
12124
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
12125
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
12126
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
12127
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
12128
12129
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
12130
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
12131
12132
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
12133
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
12134
12135
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
12136
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
12137
12138
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
12139
in handling of revision properties.
12140
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
12141
12142
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
12143

Internals
12146
*********
12147
12148
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
12149
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
12150
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
12151
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
12152
(John Arbash Meinel)
12153
12154
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
12155
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
12156
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

12164
*********
12165
12166
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
12167
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
12168
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
12169
specific one '.bzrignore'.
12170
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
12171
a more conservative list than the old default.
12172
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
12173
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
12174
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
12175
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
12176
12177
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
12178
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
12182
************
12183
12184
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
12185
revno:N:branch. For example,
12186
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
12187
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
12188
12189
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
12190
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
12191
the path of a file that has been versioned.
12192
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
12193
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
12194
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
12195
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
12196
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
12197
#42517, #42514)
12198
12199
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
12200
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
12201
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
12202
(Malone #3507)
12203
12204
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
12205
(Alexander Belchenko)
12206
12207
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
12208
12209
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
12210
(Robert Collins).
12211
12212
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
12213
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
12214
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
12215
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
12216
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
12217
(John Arbash Meinel)
12218
12219
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
12220
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
12221
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
12222
grained analysis of performance.
12223
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12224
12225
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
12226
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
12227
12228
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
12229
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
12230
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
12231
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
12232
file. (Robert Collins).
12233
12234
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
12235
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
12236
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
12237
12238
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
12239
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
12240
Matthieu Moy)
12241
12242
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
12243
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
12244
12245
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
12246
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
12247
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
12248
the same way you would apply another branch.
12249
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
12250
12251
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
12252
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
12253
12254
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
12255
(Michael Ellerman)
12256
12257
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
12258
(Aaron Bentley)
12259
12260
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
12261
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
12262
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
12263
12264
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
12265
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
12266
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
12267
12268
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
12269
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
12270
12271
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
12272
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
12273
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
12274
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
12275
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
12276
12277
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
12278
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
12279
12280
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
12281
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
12282
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
12283
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
12284
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
12285
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
12286
branch is as much as 4x faster.
12287
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
12288
12289
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
12290
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
12291
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

12299
12300
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
12301
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12302
12303
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
12304
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
12305
12306
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
12307

12308
12309
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)

12311
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
12312
(John Arbash Meinel)
12313
12314
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
12315
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
12316
12317
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
12318
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
12319
and y.
12320
12321
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
12322
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
12323
12324
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
12325
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
12326
12327
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
12328
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
12329
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
12330
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
12331

12343

* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
12345
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
12346
12347
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
12348
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
12349
12350
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
12351
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
12352
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
12353
12354
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
12355
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
12356
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
12357
12358
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
12359
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
12360

* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
12362

12365
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
12366
12367
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
12368
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
12369
12370
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
12371
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
12372
12373
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
12374

12375
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
12376

12388
12389
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
12390
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
12391
12392
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
12393
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
12394
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12395
12396
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
12397
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12398
12399
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
12400
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
12401
(Martin Pool)
12402
12403
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
12404
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
12405
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12406
12407
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
12408
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
12409
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12410
12411
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
12412
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
12413
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
12414
12415
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

Notes When Upgrading
12500
********************
12501
12502
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
12503
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
12504
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
12505
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
12506
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
12507
will keep the same format.
12508
12509
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12510
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12511
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12512
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12513
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12514
12515
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12516
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12517
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12518
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12519
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12520
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12521
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12522
12523
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12524
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12525
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12526
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12527
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12528
12529
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12530
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12531
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12532
arrangement.
12533
12534
12535
Improvements
12536
************
12537
12538
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12539
convention. Paths now take the form::
12540
12541
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12542
or
12543
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12544
12545
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12546
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12547
12548
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12549
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12550
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12551
12552
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12553
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12554
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12555
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12556
12557
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12558
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12559
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12560
12561
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12562
12563
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12564
12565
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12566
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12567
commits::
12568
12569
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12570
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12571
| xargs bzr re-sign
12572
12573
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12574
12575
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12576
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12577
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12578
(Robert Collins)
12579
12580
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12581
12582
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12583
12584
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12585
'.moved'.
12586
12587
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12588
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12589
12590
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12591
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12592
Daniel Silverstone)
12593
12594
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12595
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12596
Martin Pool)
12597
12598
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12599
12600
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12601
12602
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12603
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12604
12605
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12606
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12607
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12608
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12609
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12610
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12611
12612
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12613
12614
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12615
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12616
(Robert Collins)
12617
12618
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12619
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12620
12621
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12622
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12623
12624
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12625
12626
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12627
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12628
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12629
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12630
specification by Martin Pool.
12631
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12632
12633
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12634
Belchenko)
12635
12636
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12637
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12638
12639
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12640
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12641
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12642
12643
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12644
12645
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12646
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12647

12652
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12653
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12654
12655
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12656
12657
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12658
12659
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12660
(Olaf Conradi)
12661
12662
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12663
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12664
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12665
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12666

Internals
12668
*********
12669
12670
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12671
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12672
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12673
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12674
12675
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12676
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12677
tried. (Martin Pool)
12678
12679
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12680
(Martin Pool)
12681
12682
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12683
12684
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12685
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12686
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12687
12688
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12689
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12690
12691
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12692
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12693
paths. (Robert Collins)
12694
12695
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12696
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12697
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12698
12699
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12700
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12701
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12702
12703
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12704
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12705
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12706
12707
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12708
(Olaf Conradi)
12709
12710
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12711
(Olaf Conradi)
12712
12713
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12714
12715
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12716
12717
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12718
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12719
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12720
(Robert Collins)
12721
12722
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12723
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12724
12725
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12726
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12727
check. (Robert Collins)
12728
12729
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12730
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12731
12732
Testing
12733
*******
12734
12735
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12736
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12737
12738
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12739
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12740
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12741
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12742
12743
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12744
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12745
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12746
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12747
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12748
12749
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12750
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12751
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12752
12753
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12754
12755
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12756
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

*******
12765
12766
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12767
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12768
12769
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12770
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12771
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12772
(Johan Rydberg)
12773
12774
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12775
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12776
12777
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12778
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12779
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12780
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12781
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12782
12783
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12784
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12785
used. (Robert Collins)
12786
12787
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12788
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12789
(James Henstridge)
12790
12791
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12792
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12793
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12794
12795
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12796
ignore list.
12797
12798
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12799
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

12805
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12806
12807
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12808
12809
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12810
12811
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12812
tree. (Robert Collins)
12813
12814
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12815
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12816
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12817
(Robert Collins)
12818
12819
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12820
that they be kept.
12821
12822
* Tweaks to short log printing
12823
12824
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12825
(Aaron Bentley)
12826
12827
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12828
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12829
12830
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12831
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12832
12833
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12834
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12835
12836
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12837
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12838
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12839
12840
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12841
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12842
12843
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12844
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12845
requests.
12846
12847
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12848
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12849
12850
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12851
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12852
12853
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12854
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12855
12856
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12857
(Denys Duchier)
12858
12859
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12860
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12861
12862
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12863
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12864
12865
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12866
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12924
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12925
12926
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12927
12928
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12929
12930
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12931
12932
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12933
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12934
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12935
12936
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12937
12938
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.

* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12944
If adding a new test script please add that to
12945
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12946
12947
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12948
imported. (Martin Pool)
12949
12950
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12951
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12952
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12953
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12954
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12955
(Robert Collins)
12956
12957
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12958
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12959
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12960
12961
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12962
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12963
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12964
12965
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12966
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12967
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12968
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12969
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12970
(Robert Collins).
12971
12972
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12973
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.

12979
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12980
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12981
12982
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12983
function. (Robert Collins)
12984
12985
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12986
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12987
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12988
12989
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12990
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12991
(Robert Collins)
12992
12993
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12994
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12995
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12996
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12997
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12998
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12999
version. (Robert Collins)
13000
13001
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
13002
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
13003
13004
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
13005
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
13006
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
13007
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
13008
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
13009
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
13010
13011
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
13012
(Robert Collins)
13013
13014
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
13015
13016
add()
13017
commit()
13018
move()
13019
rename_one()
13020

13021
13022
(Robert Collins)
13023
13024
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
13025
13026
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
13027
13028
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
13029
Pool)
13030
13031
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
13032
query method. (Robert Collins)
13033
13034
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
13035
(Denys Duchier)
13036
13037
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
13038
(Michael Ellerman)
13039
13040
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
13041
(Michael Ellerman)
13042
13043
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
13044
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
13045
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
13046
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
13047
13048
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
13049
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
13050
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
13051
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
13052
13053
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
13054
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

Improvements
13062
************
13063
13064
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
13065
(John A Meinel)
13066
13067
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
13068
conflicts.
13069
(Aaron Bentley)
13070
13071
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
13072
a separator, not ':'.
13073
(Aaron Bentley)
13074
13075
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
13076
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
13077
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
13078
13079
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
13080
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
13081
(Robert Collins)
13082
13083
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
13084
has been added that suppresses all output.
13085
13086
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
13087
Adams.
13088
13089
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
13090
Goffredo Baroncelli.
13091
13092
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
13093
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
13094
13095
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
13096
a revision. (Robert Collins)
13097
13098
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
13099
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
13100
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
13101
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
13102
13103
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
13104
13105
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
13106
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
13107
13108
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
13109
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
13110
13111
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
13112
output directory, if one was supplied.
13113
13114
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
13115
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
13116
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
13117
parameters. (Robert Collins)
13118
13119
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
13120
13121
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
13122
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
13123
13124
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
13125
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
13126
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
13127
13128
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
13129
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
13130
13131
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
13132
(Aaron Bentley)
13133
13134
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
13135
13136
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
13137
13138
Testing
13139
*******
13140
13141
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
13142
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
13143
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
13144
13145
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
13146
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
13147
related questions. (Robert Collins)
13148
13149
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
13150
is given. (Martin Pool)
13151
13152
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
13153
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
13154
file. (Robert Collins)
13155
13156
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
13157
(Martin Pool)
13158
13159
Internals
13160
*********
13161
13162
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
13163
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
13164
representation. (Martin Pool).
13165
13166
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
13167
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
13168
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
13169
13170
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13171
(Robert Collins)
13172
13173
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
13174
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
13175
Magnus Therning.
13176
13177
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13178
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
13179
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
13180
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
13181
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
13182
13183
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
13184
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
13185
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
13186
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
13187
python path. (Robert Collins)
13188
13189
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
13190
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
13191
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
13192
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
13193
13194
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
13195
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
13196
13197
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
13198
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
13199
(Robert Collins)
13200
13201
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
13202
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
13203
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
13204
13205
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
13206
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
13207
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
13208
13209
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13210
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13211
13212
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
13213
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
13214
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
13215
(Robert Collins)
13216
13217
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
13218
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
13219
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
13220
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
13221
(Robert Collins)
13222
13223
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
13224
(Robert Collins)
13225
13226
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
13227
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
13228
(Robert Collins)
13229
13230
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
13231
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
13232
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
13233
13234
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
13235
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
13236
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
13237
13238
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
13239
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
13240
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
13241
13242
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13243
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13244
13245
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
13246
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
13247
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
13248
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
13249
caller. (Robert Collins)
13250
13251
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
13252
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
13253
(Robert Collins).
13254
13255
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
13256
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
13257
(Aaron Bentley)
13258
13259
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
13260
13261
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
13262
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
13271

*****
13301
13302
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
13303
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
13304
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
13305
high-latency connections.

*********
13309
13310
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
13311
Rob Weir.
13312
13313
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
13314
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
13315
13316
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
13317
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
13318
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
13319
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13320
13321
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
13322
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
13323
13324
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
13325
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
13326
13327
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
13328
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
13329
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13330
13331
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
13332
for files with only a change to their executable status.
13333
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
13334
Robert Collins
13335
13336
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
13337
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
13338
13339
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
13340
different partial views of history.
13341

* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
13343
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.

Improvements
13346
************
13347
13348
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
13349
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
13350
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13351
13352
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
13353
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
13354
'bzr upgrade'.
13355
13356
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
13357
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
13358
13359
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
13360
Niemeyer.
13361
13362
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
13363
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
13364
13365
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
13366
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
13367
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
13368
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13369
13370
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
13371
13372
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
13373
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
13374
Gustavo Niemeyer.
13375
13376
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
13377
Contributed by Robert Collins.
13378
13379
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
13380

* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
13388
for your viewing pleasure.
13389
13390
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
13391
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
13392
13393
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
13394
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
13395
handling of such circumstances.
13396
13397
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
13398
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
13399
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
13400
13401
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
13402
13403
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
13404
we call them revisions not patches.
13405
13406
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
13407
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
13408
13409
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
13410
giving the revision *of that file*.
13411
13412
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
13413
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
13414
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.

************
13478
13479
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
13480
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
13481
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
13482
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
13483
Michael Ellerman.
13484
13485
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
13486
(Nir Soffer)
13487
13488
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
13489
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
13490
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
13491
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
13492
for the operating system is still tried.
13493
13494
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
13495
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
13496
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

13621
13622
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13623
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13624
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13625
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13626
13627
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13628
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13629
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13630
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13631
standard plugins directory.
13632
13633
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13634
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13635
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13636
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13637
13638
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13639
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13640
13641
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13642
disk.
13643
13644
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13645
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13646
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13647
13648
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13649
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13650
13651
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13652
line options must come before the command name because they
13653
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13654
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13655
it.
13656
13657
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13658
13659

* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13678
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13679
13680
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13681
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13682
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13683
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13684
13685
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13686
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13687
with the ``--forward`` option.
13688

13727

13730
haven't changed since the previous time.
13731

13733
