5
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
12
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
15
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
16
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
17
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
18
of the ``bzr branch`` time. (John Arbash Meinel)
20
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
21
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
22
should enable you to do::
25
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
26
push_location:policy = appendpath
28
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
29
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
32
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
33
for each file. For example::
47
No changes from 0.13rc1
49
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
53
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
57
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
58
operations are substantially faster.
59
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
61
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
62
tree from some other url. For example:
63
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
66
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
67
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
68
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
69
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
71
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
74
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
75
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
76
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
77
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
78
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
79
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
83
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
84
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
87
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
88
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
91
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
92
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
93
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
96
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
97
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
99
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
100
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
105
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
106
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
107
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
108
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
110
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
112
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
113
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
115
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
116
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
117
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
120
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
121
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
122
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
124
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
125
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
126
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
129
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
130
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
132
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
134
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
135
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
137
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
138
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
140
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
141
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
142
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
143
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
145
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
146
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
147
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
149
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
150
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
152
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
153
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
154
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
155
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
156
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
160
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
161
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
167
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
168
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
171
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
175
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
176
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
177
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
178
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
180
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
181
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
183
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
185
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
186
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
187
server, then you can write over the http connection.
190
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
191
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
192
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
193
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
195
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
196
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
197
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
198
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
203
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
204
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
208
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
209
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
210
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
212
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
213
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
216
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
217
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
218
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
220
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
221
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
224
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
225
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
226
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
228
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
229
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
230
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
231
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
232
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
233
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
235
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
236
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
237
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
240
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
241
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
245
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
246
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
247
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
250
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
251
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
253
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
254
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
255
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
257
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
258
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
260
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
261
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
262
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
263
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
265
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
266
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
268
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
269
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
270
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
272
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
273
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
275
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
277
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
278
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
283
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
284
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
285
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
286
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
288
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
289
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
290
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
294
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
296
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
300
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
302
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
305
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
309
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
310
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
311
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
312
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
313
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
314
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
315
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
317
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
318
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
319
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
321
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
323
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
324
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
326
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
327
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
328
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
331
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
332
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
333
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
336
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
337
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
338
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
339
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
342
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
343
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
344
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
349
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
350
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
352
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
354
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
355
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
356
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
358
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
359
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
361
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
362
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
364
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
367
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
368
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
370
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
372
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
373
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
375
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
376
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
378
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
379
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
381
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
384
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
385
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
386
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
388
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
389
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
391
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
392
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
393
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
394
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
396
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
397
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
398
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
400
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
401
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
405
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
409
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
410
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
413
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
414
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
415
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
416
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
418
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
421
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
422
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
423
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
425
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
426
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
428
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
429
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
430
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
432
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
433
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
434
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
435
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
436
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
437
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
438
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
439
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
442
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
443
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
445
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
446
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
448
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
449
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
450
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
451
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
452
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
453
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
454
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
456
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
457
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
458
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
459
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
460
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
461
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
462
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
463
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
466
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
467
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
468
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
470
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
471
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
473
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
474
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
476
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
477
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
481
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
482
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
484
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
485
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
488
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
489
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
490
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
495
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
496
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
498
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
499
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
500
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
501
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
502
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
504
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
505
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
506
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
508
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
509
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
511
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
512
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
513
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
517
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
519
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
520
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
521
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
523
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
525
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
527
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
528
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
529
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
530
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
532
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
533
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
534
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
535
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
536
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
538
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
539
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
541
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
542
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
544
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
545
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
547
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
548
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
551
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
552
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
556
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
557
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
558
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
559
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
562
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
563
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
564
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
570
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
571
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
572
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
573
specific one '.bzrignore'.
574
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
575
a more conservative list than the old default.
576
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
577
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
578
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
579
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
581
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
582
to more locations than just branch locations.
587
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
588
revno:N:branch. For example,
589
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
590
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
592
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
593
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
594
the path of a file that has been versioned.
595
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
596
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
597
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
598
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
599
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
602
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
603
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
604
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
607
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
608
(Alexander Belchenko)
610
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
612
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
615
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
616
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
617
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
618
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
619
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
622
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
623
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
624
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
625
grained analysis of performance.
626
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
628
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
629
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
631
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
632
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
633
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
634
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
635
file. (Robert Collins).
637
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
638
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
639
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
641
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
642
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
645
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
646
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
648
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
649
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
650
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
651
the same way you would apply another branch.
652
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
654
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
655
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
657
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
660
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
663
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
664
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
665
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
667
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
668
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
669
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
671
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
672
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
674
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
675
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
676
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
677
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
678
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
680
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
681
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
683
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
684
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
685
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
686
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
687
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
688
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
689
branch is as much as 4x faster.
690
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
692
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
693
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
694
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
698
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
699
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
702
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
703
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
705
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
706
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
708
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
709
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
711
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
713
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
716
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
717
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
719
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
720
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
723
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
724
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
726
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
727
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
729
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
730
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
731
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
732
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
734
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
735
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
737
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
739
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
740
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
742
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
744
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
746
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
747
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
749
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
750
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
752
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
753
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
754
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
756
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
757
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
758
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
760
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
761
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
763
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
764
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
766
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
767
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
769
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
770
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
772
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
773
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
775
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
776
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
777
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
779
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
781
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
782
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
786
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
787
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
788
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
790
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
791
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
793
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
794
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
795
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
797
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
798
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
800
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
801
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
804
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
805
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
806
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
808
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
809
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
810
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
812
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
813
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
814
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
816
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
817
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
818
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
820
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
821
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
822
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
824
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
825
instead. (Robert Collins)
827
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
833
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
839
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
840
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
842
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
843
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
845
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
846
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
847
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
851
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
853
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
854
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
856
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
860
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
861
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
862
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
863
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
867
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
868
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
869
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
873
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
874
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
875
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
879
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
880
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
884
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
886
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
887
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
888
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
889
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
890
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
891
will keep the same format.
893
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
894
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
895
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
896
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
897
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
899
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
900
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
901
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
902
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
903
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
904
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
905
indicating the current revision of the branch.
907
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
908
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
909
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
910
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
911
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
913
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
914
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
915
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
921
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
922
convention. Paths now take the form:
923
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
925
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
927
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
928
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
930
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
931
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
932
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
934
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
935
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
936
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
937
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
939
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
940
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
943
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
945
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
947
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
948
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
949
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
950
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
953
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
955
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
956
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
957
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
960
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
962
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
964
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
967
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
968
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
970
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
971
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
974
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
975
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
978
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
980
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
982
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
983
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
985
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
986
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
987
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
988
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
989
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
990
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
992
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
994
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
995
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
998
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
999
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1001
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1002
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1004
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1006
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1007
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1008
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1009
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1010
specification by Martin Pool.
1011
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1013
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1016
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1017
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1019
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1020
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1021
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1023
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1025
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1026
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1031
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1032
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1034
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1036
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1038
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1041
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1042
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1043
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1044
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1048
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1049
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1050
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1051
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1053
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1054
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1055
tried. (Martin Pool)
1057
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1060
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1062
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1063
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1064
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1066
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1067
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1069
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1070
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1071
paths. (Robert Collins)
1073
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1074
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1075
needs. (Robert Collins)
1077
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1078
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1079
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1081
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1082
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1084
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1087
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1090
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1092
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1094
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1095
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1096
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1099
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1100
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1102
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1103
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1104
check. (Robert Collins)
1106
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1107
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1111
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1112
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1114
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1115
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1116
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1117
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1119
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1120
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1121
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1122
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1123
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1125
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1126
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1127
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1129
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1131
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1132
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1138
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1139
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1141
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1142
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1143
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1146
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1147
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1149
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1150
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1151
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1152
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1153
(John Arbash Meinel)
1155
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1156
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1157
used. (Robert Collins)
1159
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1160
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1163
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1164
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1165
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1167
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1170
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1171
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1175
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1176
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1178
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1180
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1182
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1183
tree. (Robert Collins)
1185
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1186
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1187
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1190
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1193
* Tweaks to short log printing
1195
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1198
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1199
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1201
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1202
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1204
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1205
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1207
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1208
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1209
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1211
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1212
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1214
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1215
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1218
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1219
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1221
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1222
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1224
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1225
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1227
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1230
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1231
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1233
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1234
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1236
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1237
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1238
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1242
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1244
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1246
* Error when run with -OO
1248
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1251
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1253
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1255
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1256
ignored by diff and status
1258
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1259
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1261
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1263
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1265
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1266
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1268
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1269
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1271
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1274
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1275
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1277
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1279
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1280
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1282
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1285
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1288
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1292
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1293
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1295
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1297
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1299
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1301
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1302
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1303
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1305
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1307
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1308
(John Arbash Meinel)
1310
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1312
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1313
If adding a new test script please add that to
1314
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1316
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1317
imported. (Martin Pool)
1319
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1320
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1321
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1322
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1323
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1326
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1327
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1328
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1330
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1331
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1332
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1334
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1335
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1336
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1337
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1338
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1341
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1342
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1347
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1348
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1350
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1351
function. (Robert Collins)
1353
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1354
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1355
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1357
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1358
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1360
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1361
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1362
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1363
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1364
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1365
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1366
version. (Robert Collins)
1368
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1369
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1371
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1372
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1373
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1374
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1375
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1376
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1378
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1381
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1389
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1391
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1393
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1396
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1397
query method. (Robert Collins)
1399
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1402
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1405
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1409
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1410
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1411
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1412
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1414
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1415
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1416
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1417
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1419
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1420
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1426
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1429
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1433
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1434
a separator, not ':'.
1437
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1438
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1439
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1441
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1442
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1445
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1446
has been added that suppresses all output.
1448
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1451
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1452
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1454
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1455
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1457
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1458
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1460
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1461
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1462
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1463
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1465
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1467
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1468
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1470
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1471
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1473
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1474
output directory, if one was supplied.
1476
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1477
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1478
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1479
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1481
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1483
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1484
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1486
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1487
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1488
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1490
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1491
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1493
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1496
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1498
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1502
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1503
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1504
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1506
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1507
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1508
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1510
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1511
is given. (Martin Pool)
1513
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1514
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1515
file. (Robert Collins)
1517
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1522
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1523
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1524
representation. (Martin Pool).
1526
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1527
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1528
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1530
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1533
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1534
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1537
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1538
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1539
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1540
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1541
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1543
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1544
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1545
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1546
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1547
python path. (Robert Collins)
1549
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1550
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1551
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1552
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1554
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1555
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1557
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1558
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1561
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1562
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1563
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1565
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1566
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1567
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1569
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1570
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1572
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1573
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1574
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1577
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1578
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1579
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1580
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1583
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1586
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1587
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1590
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1591
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1592
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1594
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1595
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1596
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1598
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1599
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1600
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1602
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1603
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1605
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1606
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1607
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1608
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1609
caller. (Robert Collins)
1611
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1612
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1615
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1616
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1618
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1620
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1621
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1625
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1626
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1628
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1629
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1632
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1636
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1637
allow directories to be listed.
1639
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1640
upgrading branch format.
1644
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1651
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1652
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1653
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1654
high-latency connections.
1658
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1661
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1662
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1664
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1665
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1666
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1667
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1669
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1670
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1672
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1673
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1675
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1676
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1677
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1679
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1680
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1681
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1684
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1685
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1687
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1688
different partial views of history.
1690
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1691
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1695
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1696
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1697
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1699
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1700
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1703
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1704
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1706
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1709
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1710
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1712
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1713
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1714
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1715
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1717
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1719
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1720
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1723
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1724
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1726
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1727
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1728
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1733
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1734
for your viewing pleasure.
1736
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1737
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1739
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1740
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1741
handling of such circumstances.
1746
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1747
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1749
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1750
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1753
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1757
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1759
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1762
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1764
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1766
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1767
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1771
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1772
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1774
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1775
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1776
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1777
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1780
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1781
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1785
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1787
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1788
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1791
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1795
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1796
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1797
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1798
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1801
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1804
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1805
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1806
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1807
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1808
for the operating system is still tried.
1810
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1811
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1812
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1817
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1821
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1823
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1826
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1832
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1834
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1837
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1841
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1842
help with intelligent shell completion.
1844
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1849
* Much better merge support.
1851
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1852
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1858
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1859
mention revisions that are not present.
1861
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1863
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1865
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1866
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1871
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1873
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1874
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1880
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1881
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1886
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1890
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1891
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1893
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1895
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1896
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1898
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1901
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1903
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1906
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1907
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1909
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1910
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1911
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1916
* Faster working tree operations.
1921
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1922
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1923
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1924
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1926
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1927
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1928
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1929
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1930
standard plugins directory.
1932
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1933
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1934
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1935
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1937
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1938
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1940
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1943
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1944
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1945
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1947
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1948
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1950
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1951
line options must come before the command name because they
1952
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1953
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1956
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1958
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1959
is available with ``--short``.
1964
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1967
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
1971
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1972
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1974
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1975
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1976
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1977
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1979
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1980
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1981
with the ``--forward`` option.
1983
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1984
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1990
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1991
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1993
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1995
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1996
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1998
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2000
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2001
either read or write mode.
2003
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2005
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2008
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2010
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2011
suggested by LarstiQ.
2013
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2014
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2016
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2019
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2020
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2022
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2023
haven't changed since the previous time.
2025
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2026
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2028
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2030
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2032
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2033
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2035
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2036
options through to an external GNU diff.
2038
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2041
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2047
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2048
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2050
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2056
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2057
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2060
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2061
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2063
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2064
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2066
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2067
under a different version.
2069
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2074
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2076
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2077
Scott James Remnant.
2079
* Better help messages for many commands.
2081
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2082
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2084
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2085
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2087
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2089
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2091
* New AtomicFile class.
2093
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2098
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2099
2.4 is now only recommended.
2102
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2106
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2107
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2109
* More default ignore patterns.
2111
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2112
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2114
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2116
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2119
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2124
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2125
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2126
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2127
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2128
there are DNS problems.
2130
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2135
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2137
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2139
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2140
trailing newlines properly.
2145
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2148
* More tests in test.sh.
2150
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2151
directory and delete it when done.
2153
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2158
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2161
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2165
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2169
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2172
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2174
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2177
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2180
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2182
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2186
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2187
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2192
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2193
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2198
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2202
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2209
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
2212
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2216
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2218
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2219
rather than replacing it.
2221
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2225
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2228
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2229
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2231
* Performance improvements.
2233
* New global --profile option.
2235
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2236
the root directory only.
2239
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
2243
* More information from info command.
2245
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
2247
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
2248
committing to stores.
2250
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2254
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
2258
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
2259
installation easier.
2261
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
2265
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
2269
* First public release.
2271

External Compatibility Breaks
14
*****************************
16
.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
21
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
26
.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
27
or memory usage, or better results.
29
* Getting all entries from ``CHKInventory.iter_entries_by_dir()`` has been
30
sped up dramatically for large trees. Iterating by dir is not the best
31
way to load data from a CHK inventory, so it preloads all the items in
32
the correct order. (With the gcc-tree, this changes it (re)reading 8GB
33
of CHK data, down to just 150MB.) This has noticeable affects for things
34
like building checkouts, etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #737234)
39
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
40
or undesirable results.
42
* Bazaar now infers the default user email address on Unix from the local
43
account name plus the contents of ``/etc/mailname`` if that file exists.
44
In particular, this means that committing as root through etckeeper will
45
normally not require running ``bzr whoami`` first.
46
(Martin Pool, #616878)
48
* ``bzr merge --preview --pull`` should respect the ``--preview`` option
49
first, and not actually change the branch tip revision.
50
(John Arbash Meinel, Dennis Duchier, #760152)
52
* ``bzr push`` into a repository (that doesn't have a branch), will no
53
longer copy all revisions in the repository. Only the ones in the
54
ancestry of the source branch, like it does in all other cases.
55
(John Arbash Meinel, #465517)
57
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
58
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
59
(Martin Pool, #733136)
61
* Fix "Unable to obtain lock" error when pushing to a bound branch if tags
62
had changed. Bazaar was attempting to open and lock the master branch
63
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)
65
* Standalone bzr.exe installation on Windows: user can put additional python
66
libraries into ``site-packages`` subdirectory of the installation directory,
67
this might be required for "installing" extra dependencies for some plugins.
68
(Alexander Belchenko, #743256)
70
* When reporting a crash without apport, don't print the full list of
71
plugins because it's often too long.
72
(Martin Pool, #716389)
78
.. Improved or updated documentation.
83
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
89
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
90
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
95
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
96
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
97
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
99
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
100
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
101
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
102
has been added in the interim
103
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed
104
in python > 2.7.1). (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
111
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
117
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
118
or undesirable results.
120
* Correctly resolve text conflicts for files in subdirs.
121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #715058)
123
* Fix "AssertionError: repository.user_url ... does not match URL from
124
server response" when reusing a smart transport.
125
(Andrew Bennetts, #726584)
127
* Restore proper logging of bytes transferred. We accidentally reset the
128
counter when commands finished before we logged the total transferred.
129
(John Arbash Meinel, #713258)
136
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we
137
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it
138
until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1
139
and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned
140
to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.)
142
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number
143
of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have
144
been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related
145
branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better
148
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
149
known fixed bugs are included here.
151
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
158
This is the fifth and **last** beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
159
release in February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause
160
some incompatibilities with plugins.
162
2.3b5 includes bug fixes for committing to stacked branches, smoother upgrades
163
of multiple branches, compatibility with python-2.7, full test suite passing
164
on Ubuntu Natty and windows, less round-trips for several smart server
165
operations, better support text conflicts resolve actions and some more.
167
All known fixed bugs in other series (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) are also included here.
169
External Compatibility Breaks
170
*****************************
177
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
178
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
179
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
180
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
182
* ``ControlDir.sprout`` no longer opens the target repository more than
183
once. This avoids some unnecessary IO, and removes a network roundtrip
184
when doing ``bzr branch`` to a smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts)
186
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
187
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
189
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
190
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
191
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
192
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
194
* ``bzr tags``'s "sort" argument now allows registering custom sort
195
methods using the ``bzrlib.tag.tag_sort_methods`` registry.
196
(Jelmer Vernooij, #701244)
198
* ``bt.test_http`` was breaking ``os.environ`` by erasing the values saved by
199
``TestCase`` leading to ``bt.test_import_tariff`` failures.
200
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
202
* ``upgrade`` now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is
203
specified. It also supports new options: ``--dry-run`` for showing what
204
will happen and ``--clean`` to remove the backup directory on successful
205
completion. (Ian Clatworthy, Matthew Fuller, #89830, #374734, #422450)
210
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
211
or undesirable results.
213
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
214
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
216
* ``bzr break-lock`` on a corrupted lock file works correctly, rather than
217
raising a PermissionDenied error. We were accidentally holding open the
218
file we were trying to delete. (John Arbash Meinel, #659978)
220
* ``bzr update`` in a checkout of a readonly branch works again, without
221
trying to set the tags in the master branch. This had been broken by the
222
bug fix for bug #603395. (John Arbash Meinel, #701212)
224
* Per-transport tests now prefer to use ``Transport.get_bytes()`` rather
225
than ``Transport.get().read()``. The SFTP code uses an async message to
226
close the file handle if you let the handle die from refcounting, while
227
it uses a synchronous message if you close it directly. This should help
228
prevent random test suite failures from race conditions.
229
(John Arbash Meinel, #681047)
231
* Stop using ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile``. It is incompatible with
232
python-2.7 and was only used for Knit format repositories, which haven't
233
been recommended since 2007. The file itself will be removed in the next
234
release. (John Arbash Meinel)
236
* The BZR_COLUMNS environment variable can be set to 0 to indicate no
237
limitation on the width of the terminal. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #675652)
239
* Treat WSAECONNABORTED the same as WSAECONNRESET for the purposes of
240
considering a smart data stream as being interrupted. This fixes a
241
failure in the windows test suite, that was trying to ensure we cleanly
242
handled a server disconnect. (John Arbash Meinel, #581311, #686587)
244
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
245
the directory properly rather than crashing.
246
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
248
* You are now able to commit directly to a stacked branch. Any needed
249
parent inventories will be filled in as part of the commit process.
250
(John Arbash Meinel, #375013)
255
* Better document the rules to update the bzr freshmeat page when
256
doing a release. (Vincent Ladeuil, #690515)
261
* ``Branch.sprout``, ``BranchFormat.initalize`` and
262
``ControlDir.create_branch`` now take an optional ``repository`` keyword
263
argument, and ``BranchFormat.open`` now takes an optional
264
``found_repository`` keyword argument. These provide the repository
265
object for new branch object to use (for cases when the caller has
266
already opened that repository). Implementations of these APIs will
267
need to be updated to accept these arguments. (Andrew Bennetts)
269
* ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile`` is now deprecated and will be removed in
270
the bzr-2.4 series. Code that was using it can just use the python
271
stdlib ``gzip.GzipFile``. (John Arbash Meinel)
277
* ``bzrlib.tests`` defines ``isolated_environ`` with the definitions of all
278
the environment variables the tests should care about. It also defines
279
``override_os_environ`` and ``restore_os_environ`` to properly implement
280
isolation from ``os.environ`` for tests. ``bzrlib.tests`` now defines a
281
``DocTestSuite`` class using this facility for all ``bzrlib``
282
doctests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #321320)
284
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
285
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
287
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
290
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
291
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
293
* ``TestCase._captureVar`` and ``TestCase._old_env`` have been deleted due to
294
bug #690563. Test writers are encouraged to use ``TestCase.overrideEnv``
295
instead. (Vincent Ladeuil)
297
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
298
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)
305
This is the fourth beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0 release in
306
February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
307
incompatibilities with plugins.
309
2.3b4 includes bug fixes for the ``config`` command and conflict
310
resolution. More changes were made for the test scripts handling to make it
311
easier to add reproducing recipes to bugs.
313
It also includes bug fixes from the 2.2.2 release as well as the bug fixes
314
in the upcoming 2.0.7, 2.1.4 and 2.2.3 releases. This means that all known
315
fixed bugs at the time of this release are included.

External Compatibility Breaks
319
*****************************
326
* Bazaar now caches a branch's tags while that branch is read-locked.
327
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
328
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
330
* ``bzr config <option>`` will now display only the value itself so scripts
331
can use it to query the currently active configuration. Displaying several
332
options matching a given regular expression is now controlled via the
333
``--all`` option. (Vincent Ladeuil, bug #670251)
335
* ``bzr resolve`` now reports the number of conflicts resolved and the
336
number of remaining conflicts. This provides a better feedback about the
337
whole resolution process. (Vincent Ladeuil)
339
* Read configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bazaar on Unix if there is
340
already a directory there. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #195397)
345
* Better message if there is an error while setting ownership of
346
``.bazaar`` directory. (Parth Malwankar, #657553)
348
* ``bzr config`` properly displays list values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #672382)
350
* ``bzr config`` will now respect option policies when displaying the value
351
and display the definition sections when appropriate.
352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #671050)
354
* Don't create commit message files in the current directory to avoid nasty
355
interactions with emacs (which tries to establish the status of the file
356
during the commit which breaks on windows). (Vincent Ladeuil, #673637)
358
* ``bzr resolve --take-other <file>`` will not crash anymore if ``<file>``
359
is involved in a text conflict (but the conflict is still not
360
resolved). (Vincent Ladeuil, #646961)
362
* Merge will now correctly locate a lca where there is a criss-cross merge
363
of a new root. (Gary van der Merwe, #588698)
365
* Report error if non-ASCII command option given. (Rory Yorke, #140563)
367
* ``tools/check-newsbug.py`` is now based on ``lp:hydrazine`` and no longer
368
crashes when encountering private bugs (they are just displayed as such).
369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #354985)
374
* ``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts parent_ids == [].
375
This can be used to create a new root in the graph. (Gary van der Merwe)
377
* Old repository development formats
378
RepositoryFormatCHK1 and RepositoryFormatCHK2 have been removed, and so
379
have the corresponding metadir format options ``development-rich-root``,
380
``development6-rich-root``, and ``development7-rich-root``.
385
* Add a null_output_matches_anything keyword argument with default False to
386
bzrlib.tests.script.ScriptRunner.run_script to specify that the command
387
output should not be checked (as opposed to expecting an empty output).
388
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #662509)
390
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
391
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
392
(Martin Pool, #637830)
394
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
395
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
396
written. (Martin [gz])
398
* Introduce an ``overrideEnv()`` helper for tests that needs to change the
399
environment variables while respecting the isolation rules. Get rid of
400
TestCase._restoreEnvironment which is now useless.
401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
403
* Printing selftest results to a non-UTF-8 console will now escape characters
404
that can't be encoded rather than aborting the test run with an exception.
405
(Martin [gz], #633216)
413
External Compatibility Breaks
414
*****************************
421
* Add --no-tree option to 'bzr push' and 'bzr init' for creating a
422
new or mirrored branch without working trees.
423
(Matthew Gordon, #506730)
425
* ``bzr config`` is a new command that displays the configuration options for
426
a given directory. It accepts a glob to match against multiple options at
427
once. It can also be used to set or delete a configuration option in any
428
configuration file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
430
* New shortcut URL schemes ``ubuntu:`` and ``debianlp:`` access source
431
branches on Launchpad. E.g. ``bzr branch ubuntu:foo`` gives you the source
432
branch for project ``foo`` in the current distroseries for Ubuntu while
433
``bzr branch debianlp:lenny/foo`` gives you the source branch (on Launchpad)
434
for project ``foo`` in Debian Lenny.
435
(Barry Warsaw, #609186)
437
* Provide a configuration option "default_format" that controls the
438
default format for new branches created with ``bzr init``.
439
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #484101)
444
* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
446
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
447
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
449
* Correctly add directory contents when the name was previously added as a
450
normal file, rather than throwing ``AttributeError: children`` during
451
smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
453
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
454
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
455
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
456
the base directory for the other paths. (Vincent Ladeuil, #670851)
458
* Correctly set the Content-Type header when HTTP POSTing to comply
459
with stricter web frameworks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #665100)
461
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
462
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
464
* Fix ``KeyError: 'port'`` when getting the stored password for an HTTP URL.
465
(Martin Pool, #654684)
467
* Make ``bzr tag --quiet`` really quiet. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #239523)
469
* Missing files (files bzr add'ed and then OS deleted) are now shown in ``bzr
470
status`` output. (Rory Yorke, #134168)
472
* ``NotBranchError`` no longer allows errors from calling
473
``bzrdir.open_repository()`` to propagate. This is unhelpful at best,
474
and at worst can trigger infinite loops in callers. (Andrew Bennetts)
476
* The ``branch.tags.merge_to(target_branch)`` API used by plugins such as
477
``bzr-builddeb`` now propagates changes to the master branch of the
478
target branch (if there is one). This makes it consistent with the
479
other tag APIs. (Andrew Bennetts, #603395)
481
* Windows installers no longer requires the Microsoft vcredist to be
482
installed. (Martin [gz], Gary van der Merwe, #632465)
487
* Add documentation of the ability to edit hunks when shelving.
488
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #517660)
490
* Be more specific about the meaning of revision ranges for ``bzr diff``.
491
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #247282)
493
* Document the comment character in the .bzrignore file, including a
494
workaround for ignore patterns that begin with #.
495
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #631515)
500
* Add ``bzrlib.pyutils`` module with helper functions for some Python
501
tasks such as resolving a dotted name to a Python object
502
(``get_named_object``). (Andrew Bennetts)
504
* ``bzrlib.tests.ForwardingResult`` no longer exists. Use
505
``testtools.ExtendedToOriginalDecorator`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
507
* ``known_hooks_key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in ``bzrlib.hooks`` has been
508
deprecated in favour of ``known_hooks.key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in
509
the same module. (Andrew Bennetts)
514
* ``tools/fixed-in.py`` find a bug in NEWS from its number or a regexp
515
matching the news entry and display the corresponding release, date, fix
516
authors and the news entry itself. (Vincent Ladeuil)
521
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
522
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
523
(Martin Pool, #637830)
525
* ``bzr test-script script`` is a new command that runs a shell-like script
526
from an the ``script`` file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
528
* Fix spurious test failures on babune related to the http pipe cleanup and
529
get rid of some 'bytes left on the HTTP socket' useless log messages.
530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #655557)
532
* ``bzrlib.tests.per_workingtree.TestCaseWithWorkingTree.make_branch_builder``
533
respects its ``relpath`` parameter. (Vincent Ladeuil)
540
External Compatibility Breaks
541
*****************************
543
* The ``bzr tags`` command sorts tag names using a natural sort by
544
default (so tag2 sorts before tag10). The previous default was
545
strictly "asciibetical". That behavior is still available as ``bzr tags
546
--sort=alpha``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #640760)
548
* ``BzrDir.generate_backup_name`` has been deprecated and replaced by a
549
private method. ``osutils.available_backup_name`` provides an extensible
550
replacement. This allowed the deprecation of
551
``bzrlib.transform.get_backup_name``,
552
``bzrlib.transform._get_backup_name`` and
553
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.has_named_child``.
559
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
560
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
562
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
563
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
565
* Add ``-Dmem_dump`` debug flag, which uses meliae to dump memory to
566
a file upon an out of memory error.
567
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
569
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
570
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
572
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
574
* GNU lsh is now a supported lsh client; just set BZR_SSH to 'lsh'.
575
Also, bzr will recognize if the 'ssh' comand is a symlink to lsh.
576
(Matthew Gordon, #374700)
578
* The ``pull`` and ``update`` commands now take a ``--show-base``
579
option that, in the case of conflicts, shows the base revision text.
580
(Rory Yorke, #202374)
585
* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
586
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
587
(Martin Pool, #397315)
589
* ``bzr remove`` now takes a ``--no-backup`` option for when you don't want it
590
to backup anything, just delete it. This option used to be called ``--force``
591
which is now deprecated.
592
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
594
* When using the pycurl client module, Bazaar shows some of the text from
595
HTTP server error messages.
596
(Martin Pool, #656667)
601
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
602
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
604
* Fix signature of RemoteBzrDir.create_workingtree to match that of its
605
superclass. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Martin Pool, #524627)
607
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
608
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
610
* Print junk rather than throwing a UnicodeDecodeError from ``bzr version-info``
611
when using the rio format (with non-ascii information) on a non-utf-8
612
terminal. (Andrej A Antonov, #518609)
614
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
615
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
617
* ``unshelve --preview`` now can show diff in a non-ascii encoding.
618
(Andrej A Antonov, #518916)
620
* Deleting a versioned directory can leave orphans: unversioned files that
621
were present don't have a parent anymore. The
622
``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option controls the ``bzr``
623
behaviour: ``conflict`` (the default) leave the orphans in place and
624
create a conflict for the directory, ``move`` create orphans named
625
``<file>.~#~`` in a ``bzr-orphans`` directory at the root of the working
626
tree. (Vincent Ladeuil, #323111)
634
* Correct the documentation for setting up the smart server with Apache.
635
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #311518)
637
* Fix rst typos in bzrlib/help_topics/en/conflict-types.txt.
638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #660943)
640
* Provide more detailed help on the Launchpad plugin at "bzr help
641
plugins/launchpad". (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #589379)
643
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
644
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
649
* ``WorkingTree`` methods ``pull``, ``update``, and ``_update_tree``
650
now have an optional argument, ``show_base``, which is by default
651
False. This is flag is ultimately passed to ``merge.merge_inner``
652
in each case. (Rory Yorke, #202374)
657
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
658
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
660
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
661
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
662
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
667
* Add a new simpler way to generate multiple test variations, by setting
668
the `scenarios` attribute of a test class to a list of scenarios
669
descriptions, then using `load_tests_apply_scenarios`. (See the testing
670
guide and `bzrlib.tests.scenarios`.) Simplify `test_http` using this.
671
(Martin Pool, #597791)
673
* Add ``tests/ssl_certs/ca.crt`` to the required test files list. Test
674
involving the pycurl https test server fail otherwise when running
675
selftest from an installed version. (Vincent Ladeuil, #651706)
677
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
678
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
680
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
681
needed to successfully run the test suite for installed versions.
682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
684
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
687
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
688
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
689
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
691
* Use tests.TestCaseInTempDir for tests that requires disk resources.
692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #650001)
699
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
700
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
701
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
702
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
704
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
705
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
706
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
707
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
708
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
709
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
710
through the 2.3 series.
712
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
716
External Compatibility Breaks
717
*****************************
724
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
725
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
726
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
728
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
729
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
731
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
732
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
733
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
734
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
737
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
738
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
739
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
740
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
742
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
743
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
748
* Allow using both ``--using`` and ``--diff-options``.
749
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
751
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
752
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
754
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
755
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
756
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
757
will be backed up (adding an extension of the form .~#~).
758
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
760
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
761
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
764
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
765
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
766
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
767
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
768
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
771
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
772
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
773
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
774
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
775
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
777
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
778
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
779
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
781
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
782
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
783
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
785
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text when writing to pack
787
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
789
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
790
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
791
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
792
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
793
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
794
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
796
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
797
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
798
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
803
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
804
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
805
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
807
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
808
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
809
marked versioned too.
810
(Martin Pool, #192859)
812
* ``bzr clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
813
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
814
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
816
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
817
target of the symlink.
818
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
820
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
821
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
823
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
825
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
826
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
827
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
829
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
830
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
832
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
833
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
834
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
836
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
837
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
839
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
840
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
842
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
843
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
845
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
846
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
848
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
849
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
851
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
852
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
853
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
855
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
856
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
858
* Errors occurring during HTTP(S) test server starts should now be
859
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
861
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
862
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
863
(Martin Pool, #192859)
865
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
866
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
867
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
868
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
870
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
871
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
873
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
874
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
875
(Martin Pool, #192859)
877
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
878
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
879
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
880
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
882
* Fix a problem in bzr's ``Makefile`` that meant syntax errors in some
883
parts of bzr's source code could cause ``make check-nodocs`` to
884
incorrectly return an exit code of 0.
885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
887
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
888
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
890
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
891
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
892
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
894
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
895
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
896
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
897
(Martin [gz], #631350)
899
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
900
(Martin Pool, #98735)
902
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
903
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
904
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
905
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
907
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
908
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
910
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
911
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
912
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
913
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
914
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
916
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
917
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
918
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
919
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
921
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
922
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
923
(Martin [gz], #254278)
925
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
926
users to attach to their own processes by default.
927
(Martin Pool, #626679)
929
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
930
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
931
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
933
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
934
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
937
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
938
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
939
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
940
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
945
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
946
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
947
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
949
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
950
to make the tests conditional.
953
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
954
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
955
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
960
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
961
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
962
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
963
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
965
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
966
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
967
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
970
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
971
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
973
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
975
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
976
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
977
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
978
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
979
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
981
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
982
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
984
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
989
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
990
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
991
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
992
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
994
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
995
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
996
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
997
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
998
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1000
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
1001
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
1002
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
1003
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
1006
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
1007
relative change in revno.
1010
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
1014
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
1015
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
1016
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1018
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
1019
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
1020
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
1021
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
1022
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
1023
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
1024
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
1025
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
1027
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
1028
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
1030
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
1031
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
1034
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
1035
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
1041
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
1047
* Avoid spurious failures in ssh tests: wait for the SSH server to
1048
actually finish, rather than just waiting for it to negotiate the key
1049
exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
1051
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
1052
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1054
* Catch socket errors to avoid
1055
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
1056
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
1058
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
1059
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
1061
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
1062
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
1064
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
1065
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
1067
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
1068
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
1069
macrobenchmark suite.
1072
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
1073
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
1076
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
1077
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
1078
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
1079
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
1080
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
1081
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
1082
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1084
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
1085
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
1086
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
1087
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
