16
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
19
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
20
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
31
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
32
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
38
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
39
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
40
redirection to inform the user. In the past, HTTP redirections were
41
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
42
performances. The HTTP redirections are not followed anymore by
43
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
44
users needing to follow HTTP redirections anyway,
45
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
51
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
52
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
53
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
55
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
56
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
59
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
60
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
63
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
64
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
65
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
66
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
67
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
72
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
75
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
76
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
78
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
79
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
81
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
82
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
83
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
85
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
86
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
88
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
89
last-changed-revision for directories. The
90
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
91
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
92
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
94
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
95
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
96
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
98
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent HTTP redirections.
104
:Released: 2007-03-14
109
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
110
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
111
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
116
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
117
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
119
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
120
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
122
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
124
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
125
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
127
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
128
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
133
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
139
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
140
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
141
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
142
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
144
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
145
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
147
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
148
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
150
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
153
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
154
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
160
:Released: 2007-03-07
165
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
166
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
167
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
168
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
169
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
170
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
172
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
173
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
174
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
175
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
176
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
177
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
179
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
181
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
182
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
183
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
184
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
185
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
186
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
187
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
188
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
193
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
194
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
196
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
197
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
198
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
199
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
201
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
202
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
203
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
204
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
205
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
207
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
210
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
213
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
216
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
217
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
220
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
223
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
224
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
226
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
227
directory. (Martin Pool)
229
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
230
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
231
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
232
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
234
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
235
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
236
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
237
in docs/configuration.txt.
239
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
240
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
243
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
244
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
245
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
246
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
247
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
248
repositories. (Martin Pool)
250
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
251
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
253
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
254
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
256
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
262
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
263
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
264
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
265
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
266
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
269
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
270
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
273
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
274
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
277
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
278
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
279
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
280
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
281
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
282
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
284
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
285
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
286
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
288
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
289
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
290
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
291
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
293
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
295
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
296
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
297
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
298
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
300
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
301
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
302
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
303
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
305
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
306
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
307
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
309
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
310
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
311
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
313
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
314
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
315
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
316
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
318
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
319
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
320
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
322
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
323
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
324
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
326
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
327
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
328
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
329
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
330
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
331
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
332
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
333
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
334
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
335
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
336
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
341
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
342
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
343
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
345
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
348
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
349
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
350
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
351
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
353
* Fix HTTP proxy authentication when user and an optional
354
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
357
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
358
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
360
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
362
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
363
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
364
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
366
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
367
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
369
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
372
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
375
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
376
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
378
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
380
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
381
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
386
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
387
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
