New formats 1.14 and 1.14-rich-root supporting End-Of-Line (EOL) conversions,
17
keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin) and generic content filtering.
18
End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting content
21
Changes from 1.14final to 1.14.1
22
********************************
24
* Change api_minimum_version back to api_minimum_version = (1, 13, 0)
26
Changes from 1.14rc2 to 1.14final
27
*********************************
29
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
30
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
32
Changes from 1.14rc1 to 1.14rc2
33
*******************************
35
* Fix for bug 358037 Revision not in
36
bzrlib.groupcompress.GroupCompressVersionedFiles (Brian de Alwis,
39
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
40
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
41
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
43
* Fix for bug 355280 eol content filters are never loaded and thus never
44
applied (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)
46
* bzr.dev -r4280 Change _fetch_uses_deltas = False for CHK repos until we can
47
write a better fix. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins)
49
* Fix for bug 361574 uncommit recommends undefined --levels and -n options
50
(Marius Kruger, Ian Clatworthy)
52
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
53
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
58
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
59
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
60
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
61
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
62
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
64
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
65
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
66
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
68
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
69
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
70
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
71
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
72
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
77
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
78
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
79
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
80
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
81
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
84
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
87
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
88
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
90
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
91
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
92
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
93
directory, not just the directory object itself.
94
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
96
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
97
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
99
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
102
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
103
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
104
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
105
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
108
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
109
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
110
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
111
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
112
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
114
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
115
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
118
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
124
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
125
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
126
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
128
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
129
the data when the target repository does not need topological
130
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
131
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
132
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
134
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
135
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
138
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
139
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
140
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
142
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
145
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
148
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
149
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
151
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
152
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
154
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
155
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
157
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
158
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
161
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
162
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
163
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
165
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
166
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
167
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
170
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
171
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
172
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
173
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
175
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
176
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
177
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
178
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
179
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
180
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
181
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
182
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
183
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
185
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
191
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
192
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
193
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
194
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
195
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
196
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
197
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
199
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
200
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
202
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
203
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
204
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
205
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
207
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
208
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
210
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
212
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
215
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
216
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
217
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
219
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
220
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
222
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
223
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
225
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
226
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
227
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
229
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
230
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
231
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
232
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
234
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
236
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
239
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
240
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
241
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
242
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
243
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
245
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
246
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
247
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
248
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
249
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
250
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
251
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
253
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
254
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
256
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
257
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
260
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
261
(James Westby, #341558)
263
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
264
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
266
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
267
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
272
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
274
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
276
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
277
(James Westby, #336998)
282
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
285
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
286
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
289
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
290
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
293
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
294
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
295
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
297
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
298
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
299
Meinel, Robert Collins)
301
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
302
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
303
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
304
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
307
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
308
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
311
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
314
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
315
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
317
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
318
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
319
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
320
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
322
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
323
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
324
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
329
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
330
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
331
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
332
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
333
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
335
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
336
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
338
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
339
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
340
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
341
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
347
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
348
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
350
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
351
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
353
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
354
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
355
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
357
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
358
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
359
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
360
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
362
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
363
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
364
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
365
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
367
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
368
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
369
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
371
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
372
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
373
dependency. (Robert Collins)
375
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
376
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
377
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
379
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
380
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
383
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
384
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
385
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
387
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
388
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
390
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
391
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
392
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
394
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
395
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
398
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
399
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
400
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
402
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
403
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
404
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
405
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
406
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
408
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
409
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
410
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
411
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
413
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
414
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
415
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
416
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
418
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
419
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
420
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
422
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
423
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
426
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
427
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
428
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
430
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
431
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
432
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
433
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
434
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
436
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
437
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
438
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
441
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
442
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
443
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
444
desired. (Robert Collins)
446
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
447
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
448
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
449
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
451
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
452
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
453
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
454
