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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
23
*****************************
25
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
26
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
27
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
28
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
29
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
30
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
36
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
37
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
38
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
40
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
41
********************************
43
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
44
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
45
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
50
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
51
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
53
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
54
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
56
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
57
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
59
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
61
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
62
*********************************
64
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
65
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
66
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
68
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
69
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
74
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
75
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
76
command may need to be adjusted.
77
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
82
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
83
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
84
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
86
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
89
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
90
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
91
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
94
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
95
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
97
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
100
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
101
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
103
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
105
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
106
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
109
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
115
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
116
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
117
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
118
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
119
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
120
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
121
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
122
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
125
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
126
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
128
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
129
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
130
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
132
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
133
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
135
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
136
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
137
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
140
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
141
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
142
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
144
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
145
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
146
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
147
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
149
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
152
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
153
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
155
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
156
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
158
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
159
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
160
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
162
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
167
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
168
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
170
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
171
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
172
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
174
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
175
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
178
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
179
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
181
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
182
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
185
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
186
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
187
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
189
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
190
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
192
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
193
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
195
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
196
(James Westby, #174539)
198
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
199
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
201
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
202
error branching from old repositories.
203
(Martin Pool, #321695)
205
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
206
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
208
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
209
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
210
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
211
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
213
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
214
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
217
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
218
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
220
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
221
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
223
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
224
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
225
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
227
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
228
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
230
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
231
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
236
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
237
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
238
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
241
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
242
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
244
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
245
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
250
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
251
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
252
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
253
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
254
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
256
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
257
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
259
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
260
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
261
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
262
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
263
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
264
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
266
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
267
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
269
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
270
"author" argument being deprecated.
272
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
274
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
275
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
276
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
277
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
279
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
280
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
281
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
283
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
284
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
285
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
287
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
288
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
290
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
291
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
292
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
293
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
298
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
299
free of virtual file system methods.
300
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
302
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
303
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
304
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
306
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
307
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
308
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
309
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
310
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
311
(Robert Collins, #334187)
313
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
315
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
316
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
318
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
319
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
320
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
321
stream the operation.
322
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
324
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
325
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
327
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
328
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
329
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
330
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
331
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
333
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
334
branch object. (Robert Collins)
336
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
337
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
338
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
340
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
341
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
344
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
347
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
348
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
349
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
351
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
352
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
353
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
355
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
356
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
357
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
359
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
360
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
361
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
363
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
364
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
365
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
366
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
367
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
369
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
370
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
371
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
372
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
373
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
374
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
376
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
377
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
378
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
379
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
380
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
382
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
383
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
385
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
386
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
388
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
389
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
390
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
391
to access private data in record to obtain content more
392
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
394
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
395
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
