13
External Compatibility Breaks
14
*****************************
15
16
.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
17
18
New Features
19
************
20
21
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
22
23
Improvements
24
************
25
26
.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
27
or memory usage, or better results.
28
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)
35
36
Bug Fixes
37
*********
38
39
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
40
or undesirable results.
41
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)
47
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)
51
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)
56
57
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
58
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
59
(Martin Pool, #733136)
60
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)
64
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)
69
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)

Documentation
76
*************
77
78
.. Improved or updated documentation.
79
80
API Changes
81
***********
82
83
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
84
bzrlib.
85
86
Internals
87
*********
88
89
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
90
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
91
92
Testing
93
*******
94
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.
98
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)

108
109
:2.3.1: 2011-03-10

111
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
112
2.3 releases.

114
Bug Fixes
115
*********
116
117
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
118
or undesirable results.
119
120
* Correctly resolve text conflicts for files in subdirs.
121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #715058)
122
123
* Fix "AssertionError: repository.user_url ... does not match URL from
124
server response" when reusing a smart transport.
125
(Andrew Bennetts, #726584)
126
127
* Restore proper logging of bytes transferred. We accidentally reset the
128
counter when commands finished before we logged the total transferred.
129

bzr 2.3.0
132
#########
133
134
:2.3.0: 2011-02-03
135
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.)
141
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
146
conflict resolution.
147
148
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
149
known fixed bugs are included here.
150
151
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

155
156
:2.3.b5: 2011-01-13
157
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.
161
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.
166
167
All known fixed bugs in other series (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) are also included here.

External Compatibility Breaks

*****************************
171
172
(none)
173
174
Improvements
175
************
176
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)
181
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)
185
186
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
187
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
188
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)
193
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)
197
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)
201
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)
206
207
Bug Fixes
208
*********
209
210
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
211
or undesirable results.
212
213
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
214
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
215
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)
219
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)
223
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)
230
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)
235
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)
238
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)
243
244
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
245
the directory properly rather than crashing.
246
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
247
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)
251
252
Documentation
253
*************
254
255
* Better document the rules to update the bzr freshmeat page when
256
doing a release. (Vincent Ladeuil, #690515)
257
258
API Changes
259
***********
260
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)
268
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)
272
273
274
Testing
275
*******
276
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)
283
284
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
285
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
286
287
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
289
290
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
291
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
292
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)
296
297
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
298
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)

#########
302
303
:2.3.b4: 2010-12-03
304
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.
308
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.
312
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.

*****************************
320

322
323
Improvements
324
************
325
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)
329
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)
334
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)
338
339
* Read configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bazaar on Unix if there is
340
already a directory there. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #195397)
341
342
Bug Fixes
343
*********
344
345
* Better message if there is an error while setting ownership of
346
``.bazaar`` directory. (Parth Malwankar, #657553)
347
348
* ``bzr config`` properly displays list values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #672382)
349
350
* ``bzr config`` will now respect option policies when displaying the value
351
and display the definition sections when appropriate.
352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #671050)
353
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)
357
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)
361
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)
364
365
* Report error if non-ASCII command option given. (Rory Yorke, #140563)
366
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)
370
371
Internals
372
*********
373
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)
376
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``.
381
382
Testing
383
*******
384
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)
389
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)
393
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])
397
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)
402
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.

************
420
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)
424
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)
429
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)
436
437
* Provide a configuration option "default_format" that controls the
438
default format for new branches created with ``bzr init``.

444
* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
445
446
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
447
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
448
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)
452
453
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of

567
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
568
569
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
570

571
hook.
572
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)

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.
703
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.
711
712
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of

its own.

* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
817
target of the symlink.
818
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
819
820
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
821
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
822

823
(Parth Malwankar #300062)

827
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
828
829
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
830
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
831
832
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic

* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
843

844
845
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
846
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
847
848
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
849
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
850
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)
854
855
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
856
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
857
858
* Errors occurring during HTTP(S) test server starts should now be
859
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
860
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)
864
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

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)
886
887
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
888
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
889
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)
893
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.

898
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)
906
907
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
908
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
909
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)
915
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)
920
921
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``

924
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)
928
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)
932
933
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
934
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
935
(Martin Pool)
936
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)

:Codename: La Hulpe
291
:2.2: 2010-08-06
292
293
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
294
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
295
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
296
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
297
supported for another 6 months.)
298
299
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
300
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
301
302
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
303
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
304
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
305
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
306
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
307
readonly operations).
308
309
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

386
387
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
388
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
389
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
390
stable and compatible plugin versions.
391
392
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
393
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
394
appropriately.
395
396
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
397
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
398
bugfixes over 2.2b3.
399

Compatibility Breaks
401
********************
402
403
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
404
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
405
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
406
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
407
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
408
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
409
410
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
411
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
412
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
413
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
414
end.
415
416
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
417
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
418
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

433
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
434

435
436
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
437

444
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
445
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)

448
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.

463
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
464
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
465
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
466
467
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
468
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
469
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
470
471
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
472
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
473
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
474
(Robert Collins, #177500)
475
476
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
477
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
478
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
479
480
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
481
482
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
483
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
484
485
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
486
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
487
488
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
489
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
490
(Martin Pool)
491
492
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
493
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
494
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
495
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
496
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
497
498
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
499
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
500
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
501
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
502
503
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
504
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
505
506
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
507
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
508
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
509
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)

511
Improvements
512
************
513
514
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
515
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
516
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
517
518
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
519
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
520
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
521
(Robert Collins, #201613)
522
523
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
524
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
525
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
526
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
527
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
528
529
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
530
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
531
(Martin Pool, #340394)
532
533
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
534
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
535
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
536
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
537
(Andrew Bennetts)

Documentation
540
*************
541
542
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
543
544
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
545
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
546
development). (Robert Collins)
547
548
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
549
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
550
551
API Changes
552
***********
553
554
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
555
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
556
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
557
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
558
559
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
560
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
561
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
562
(Robert Collins)
563
564
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
565
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
566
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
567
568
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
569
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
570
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
571
(Parth Malwankar)
572
573
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
574
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
575
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
576
577
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
578
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
579
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
580
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
581
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
582
583
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
584
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
585
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
586
587
Internals
588
*********
589
590
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
591
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
592
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
593
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
594
(Robert Collins)
595
596
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
597
598
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
599
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
600
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
601
602
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
603
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
604
(Robert Collins)
605
606
Testing
607
*******
608
609
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
610
to test. (Martin Pool)
611
612
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

bzr 2.2b3
616
#########
617
618
:2.2b3: 2010-05-28
619
620
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
621
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
622
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
623
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
624
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
625
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
626
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
627
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
628
support.
629
630
Compatibility Breaks
631
********************
632
633
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
634
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
635
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
636
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
637
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
638
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
639
(Robert Collins)
640
641
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
642
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
643
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
644
645
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
646
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
647
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
648
649
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
650
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
651
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
652
653
New Features
654
************
655
656
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
657
``--show-diff``.
658
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
659
660
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
661
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
662
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
663
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
664
665
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
666
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
667
pack operation.
668
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
669
670
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
671
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
672
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
673
674
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
675
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
676
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
677
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
678
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
679
680
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
681
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
682
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
683
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
684
685
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
686
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
687
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
688
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.
689
(Mattias Eriksson)
690
691
Bug Fixes
692
*********
693
694
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
695
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
696
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
697
698
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
699
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
700
better with sudo.
701
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
702
703
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
704
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
705
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
706
707
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
708
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
709
710
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
711
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
712
difference).
713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
714
715
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
716
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
717
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
718
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
719
(Robert Collins, #583667)
720
721
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
722
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
723
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
724
725
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
727
728
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
730
731
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
732
(Aaron Bentley)
733
734
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
735
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
736
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
737
Python.
738
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
739
740
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
742
743
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
744
versions before 1.6.
745
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
746
747
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
748
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
749
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
750
751
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
752
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
753
754
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
755
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
756
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
757
758
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
759
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
760
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
761
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
762
763
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
764
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
765
to support this efficiently.
766
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
767
768
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
769
more comprehensible.
770
(Martin Pool, #491763)
771
772
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
773
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
774
775
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
776
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
777
778
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
779
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
780
messages.
781
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
782
783
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
784
(Robert Collins, #558343)
785
786
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
787
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
788
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
789
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
790
791
Improvements
792
************
793
794
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
795
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
796
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
797
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
798
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
799
(case-sensitive) as false.
800
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
801
802
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
803
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
804
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
805
806
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
807
be interpreted as a boolean.
808
(Vincent Ladeuil)
809
810
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
811
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
812
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
813
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
814
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
815
816
API Changes
817
***********
818
819
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
820
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
821
(Andrew Bennetts)
822
823
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
824
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
825
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
826
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
827
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
828
implementations.
829
(Martin Pool)
830
831
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
832
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
833
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
834
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
835
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
836
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
837
838
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
839
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
840
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
841
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
842
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
843
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
844
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
845
846
Internals
847
*********
848
849
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
850
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
851
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
852
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
853
854
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
855
(Robert Collins)
856
857
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
858
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
859
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
860
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
861
at worst.
862
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
863
864
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
865
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
866
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
867
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
868
869
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
870
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
871
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)
872
873
Testing
874
*******
875
876
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
877
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
878
(Robert Collins)
879
880
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
881
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
882
883
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
884
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
886
887
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
888
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.

907
908
Bug Fixes
909
*********
910
911
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
912
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
913
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
914
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
916
917
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
918
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
919
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
920
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
921
922
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
923
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
924
925
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
926
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
927
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
928
929
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
930
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
931
932
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
934
935
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.

941
942
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
943
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
944
which is not installed any more" error.
945
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
946
947
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
948
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
949
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
950
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.

978
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
979
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
980
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
981
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
982
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
983
984
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
985
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
986

bzr 2.2b1
1012
#########
1013
1014
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
1015
1016
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1017
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1018
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1019
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1020
1021
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1022
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1023
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1024
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1025
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1026
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1027
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1028
through the 2.2 series.
1029
1030
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1031
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1032
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1033

Compatibility Breaks
1035
********************
1036
1037
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1038
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1039
1040
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1041
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1042
(Martin Pool)
1043
1044
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1045
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1046
1047
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1048
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1049
1050
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1051
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1052
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1053
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1054
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1055
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1056
1057
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1058
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1059
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1060
1061
New Features
1062
************
1063
1064
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1065
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1066
1067
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1068
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1069
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1070
1071
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1072
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1073
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1074
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1075
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1076
1077
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1078
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
1079
#392428)
1080
1081
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1082
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1084
1085
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1086
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1087
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1088
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1089
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1091
1092
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1093
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1094
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1095
1096
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1097
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1098
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1099
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1100
1101
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.

Bug Fixes
1105
*********
1106
1107
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1108
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1109
1110
* Allow additional arguments to
1111
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1112
1113
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1114
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1115
1116
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1117
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1118
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1119
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1120
1121
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1123
1124
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1125
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1126
1127
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1128
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1129
1130
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1132
1133
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1134
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1135
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1136
1137
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1138
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1139
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1140
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1141
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1142
1143
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1144
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1146
1147
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1148
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1149
1150
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1151
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1153
1154
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1155
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1156
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1157
1158
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1159
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1160
``add``.
1161
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1162
1163
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1164
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1165
1166
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1167
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1168
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1169
1170
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1171
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1173
1174
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1176
1177
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1178
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1180
1181
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1182
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1183
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1184
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1185
``sock.sendall``).
1186
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1187
1188
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1189
deletion is involved.
1190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1191
1192
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1193
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1194
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1195
1196
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1197
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1198
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1199
1200
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1201
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1202
1203
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1204
the debugger won't kill the session.
1205
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1206
1207
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1208
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1209
1210
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1211
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1212
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1213
1214
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.

1222
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1223
1224
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1225

1226
1227
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1228
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1229
1230
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1231
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1232
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1233
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1234
1235
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1236

1237
to be done separately.
1238
(Martin Pool, #507710)

1241
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1242
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1243
1244

1261
1262
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1263
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1264
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1265
1266
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1267
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1268
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1269
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1270
(Robert Collins)
1271

1273

1298
dependency regressions.
1299
(Martin Pool)

1303
1304
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1305

1306
1307
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1308
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1309
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1310
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this

*********
1399
1400
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1401
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1402
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1403
1404
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1405
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1406
1407
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1408
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1409
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1410
Python.
1411
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1412
1413
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1414
versions before 1.6.
1415
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1416
1417
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1418
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1419
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1420
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1421
(Andrew Bennetts)
1422
1423
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1424
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1425
1426
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1427
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1428
1429
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1430
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1431
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

*********
1436
1437
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1438
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1439
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1440
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1441
at worst.

Bug Fixes
1454
*********
1455
1456
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1457
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1458
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1459
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1460
1461
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1462
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1463
1464
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1465
1466
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1468
1469
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1470
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1471
1472
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1473
1474
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1475
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1476
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1477
1478
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1479
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1480
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1481
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1482
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1483
1484
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1485
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1486
1487
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1488
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.

* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
1497
1498

in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
1500
1501
API Changes
1502
***********
1503
1504
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1505
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1506
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.

1515
1516
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1517
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1518
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1519
1520
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1521
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1522
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1523
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1524
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1525
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
1526

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
1536
(Martin Pool, #513432)
1537
1538
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
1539
when it encounters conflicts.
1540
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1541
1542
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1543
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1544
1545
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1546
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1547
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1548
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1549
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1550
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1551
1552
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1553
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1554
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

API Changes
1563
***********

``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1575
1576
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1577
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1578
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1579
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1580
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1581
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1582
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1583
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1584
1585
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
1586

*********
1591
1592
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1593
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1594
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1595
in ``do_merge``.

This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file

1614
1615
API Changes
1616
***********
1617
1618
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1619
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1620
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1621
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1622
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1623
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

:Codename: the 'new' stable
1631
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1632
1633
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1634
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1635
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1636
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1637
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1638
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1639
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1640
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1641
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

New Features
1645
************
1646
1647
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1648
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1649
1650
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1651
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1652
particular files.
1653
1654
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1655
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1656
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1657
(Andrew Bennetts)
1658
1659
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1660
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1661
1662
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1663
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1664
1665
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1666
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1667
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1668
1669
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1670
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1671
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1672
Martin Pool, #45719)
1673
1674
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1675
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1676
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1677
1678
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1679
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1680
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1681
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1682
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1683
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1684
1685
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1686
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1687
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1688
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1689

Bug Fixes
1692
*********
1693
1694
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1695
user-specified commit message editor.
1696
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1697
1698
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1699
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1700
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1701
1702
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1703
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1704
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1705
1706
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1707
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1708
1709
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1710
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1711
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1712
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1713
another process already removed the file.
1714
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1715
1716
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1717
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1718
1719
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1720
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1721
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1722
1723
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1724
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1725
1726
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1727
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1728
1729
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1731
1732
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1733
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1734
1735
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1736
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1737
depended on this behaviour.
1738
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1739
1740
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1741
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1742
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1743
should appear up-to-date.)

1746
Improvements
1747
************
1748
1749
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1750
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1751
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1752
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1753
1754
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1755
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1756
1757
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1758
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1759
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1760
1761
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1762
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1763
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1764
1765
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1766
(__monty__, #257170)
1767
1768
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1769
Bazaar is doing network IO.

Documentation
1773
*************
1774
1775
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1776
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1777
1778
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1779
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1780
1781
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1782
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1783
1784
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1785
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1786
1787
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1788
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1789
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1790
1791
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1792
(Ian Clatworthy)
1793
1794
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1795
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.

***********
1800
1801
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1802
(Andrew Bennetts)
1803
1804
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1805
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1806
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1807
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1808
1809
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1810
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1811
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1812
1813
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1814
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1815
1816
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1817
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1818
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1819
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1820
1821
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1822
parameter.
1823
1824
Internals
1825
*********
1826
1827
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1828
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1829
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1830
1831
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1832
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1833
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1834
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1835
1836
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1837
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1838
1839
Testing
1840
*******
1841
1842
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1843
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1844
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1845
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1846
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1847
1848
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1849
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1850
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1851
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of

testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1853
suite. (Robert Collins)
1854
1855
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1856
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1857
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

1859
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1860
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

1873
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1874
1875
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1876
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1877
marked versioned too.
1878
(Martin Pool, #192859)

target of the symlink.
1882

1883
1884

1885
both working tree and branch.
1886
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1887
1888
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1889
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1890
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)

* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1896
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1897
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1898
1899
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1900
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1901
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1902

1909
1910
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1911
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1912
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1913
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1914
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1915
1916
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1917

1918
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1919
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1920
1921
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1922
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many

Bug Fixes

*********
1945
1946
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1947
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1948
1949
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1950
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1951
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1952
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1953
another process already removed the file.
1954
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1955
1956
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1957
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1958
a lock.
1959
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1960
1961
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1962
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1963
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1964
repositories.
1965
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)

* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1968
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1969
1970
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1971
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1972
``UnboundLocalError``.
1973
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)

* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1976
version number along with rest of the help text.
1977
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1978

1999
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2000
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2001
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2002
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2003
2004
2005
Bug Fixes
2006
*********
2007
2008
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2009
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2010
2011
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2012
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2013
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2014
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2015
2016
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2017
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2018
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2019
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2020
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2021
2022
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2023
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2024
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2025
2026
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2027
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2028
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2029
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2030
2031
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2032
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2033
2034
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2035
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2036
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2037
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2038
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2039
2040
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2041
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2042
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2043
users, rather than something nicer.
2044
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2045
2046
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2047
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2048
2049
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2050
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2051
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2052
2053
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2054
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2055
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2056
2057
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2058
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2059
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2060
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2061
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2062
2063
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2064
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2065
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2066
2067
Testing
2068
*******
2069
2070
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2071
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2072
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2073
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2083
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2084

2085
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI

Compatibility Breaks
2091
********************
2092
2093
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2094
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2095
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2096
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2097
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)

New Features
2100
************
2101
2102
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2103
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2104
2105
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2106
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2107
2108
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2109
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2110
2111
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2112
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2113
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2114
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2115
lengths.
2116
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2117
2118
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2119
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2120
is installed.

2125
*********
2126
2127
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2128
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2129
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2130
2131
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2132
and issues a warning.
2133
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2134
2135
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2136
2137
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2138
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2139
2140
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2141
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2142
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2143
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2144
2145
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2146
2147
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.

* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2156
2157
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2158
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2159
2160
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2161
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2162
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2163
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2164
windows too.
2165

2166
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2167
2168
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2169
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2170
2171
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2172
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2173
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2174
2175
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2176
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2177
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2178
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2179
2180
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2181
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2182
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2183
2184
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2185
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2186
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2187
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2188
2189
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a

* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2200
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2201

2207
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2208
Hudson)
2209
2210
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2211
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2212
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2213
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2214
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

2235
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2236
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2237
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2238
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2239
2240
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2241
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2242
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2243
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2244
(John Arbash Meinel)
2245
2246
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2247
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2248
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2249
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2250
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2251
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

2302
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
2303
formats for Remote objects.

New Features
2307
************
2308
2309
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
2310
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
2312
Bug Fixes
2313
*********
2314
2315
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
2316
2317
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
2318
2319
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
2320
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
2321
2322
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2323
2324
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2325
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2326
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2327
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2328
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2329
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2330
2331
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2332
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2333
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2334
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2335
2336
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2337
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2338
2339
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2340
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2341
2342
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2343
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2344
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2345
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2346
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2347
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2348
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2349
2350
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2351
(Alexander Belchenko)
2352
2353
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
2354
Python level. (Martin Pool)
2355
2356
Documentation
2357
*************
2358
2359
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
2360
2361
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2362
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2363
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2364
overridden by GUIs.

Internals
2368
*********
2369
2370
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
2371
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
2372
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
2373
2374
Testing
2375
*******
2376
2377
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2378
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2379
2380
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2381
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2382
2383
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2384
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2385
2386
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2387
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2388
2389
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2390
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2391
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2392
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2393
2394
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2395
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2396
2397
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2398
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2399
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2400
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2401
2402
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2403
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2404
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2405
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

2412
:Codename: a load off my mind
2413
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2414
2415
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2416
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2417
2418
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2419
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2420
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2421
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2422
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2423
many operations.
2424
2425
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2426
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2427
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2428
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2429
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2430
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
2431
2432
Bug Fixes
2433
*********
2434
2435
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2436
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2437
2438
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2439
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2440
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2441
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2442
2443
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2444
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2445
2446
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2447
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2448
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2449
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2450
2451
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2452
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2453
2454
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2455
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2456
2457
Improvements
2458
************
2459
2460
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2461
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2462
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2463
(John Arbash Meinel)
2464
2465
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2466
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
2467

2475
API Changes
2476
***********
2477
2478
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2479
2480
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2481
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2482
(Martin Pool)
2483
2484
Internals
2485
*********
2486
2487
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2488
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2489
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2490
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2491
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2492
(John Arbash Meinel)
2493
2494
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2495
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2496
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2497
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2498
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2499
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2500
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2501
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2502
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2503
2504
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2505
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2506
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2507
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2508
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2509
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2510
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2511
2512
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2513
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2514
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2515
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: While the cat is away
2569
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2570
2571
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2572
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2573
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2574
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2575
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2576
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2577
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2578
2579
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2580
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2581
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2582
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
2586
************
2587
2588
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2589
(Brian de Alwis)
2590
2591
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2592
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2593
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2594
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2595
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2596
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2597
2598
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2599
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2600
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2601
2602
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2603
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2604
method.
2605
2606
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2607
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2608
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2609
2610
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2611
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2612
(Arkanes)
2613
2614
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2615
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

2618
Bug Fixes
2619
*********
2620
2621
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2622
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2623
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2624
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2625
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2626
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2627
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2628
2629
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2630
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2631
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2632
2633
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2634
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2635
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2637
2638
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2639
merges are present in the working tree.
2640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2641
2642
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2643
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2644
2645
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2646
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2647
2648
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2650
2651
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2652
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2654
2655
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2656
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2657
2658
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2659
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2660
2661
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2663
2664
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
2665

2672
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2673
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2674
2675
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2676
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2677
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2678
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2679
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2680
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

2684
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2685
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new

``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

2702
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2703
2704
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2705
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2706
2707
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2708
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2709
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2710
2711
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2712
(Martin Pool)
2713
2714
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2715
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2716
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2717
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2718
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also

* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2733
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2734
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2735
(John Arbash Meinel)

2738
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.

2742
*******

be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2746
2747
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2748
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)

2758
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2759
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2760
2761
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2762
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2763
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2764
2765
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2766
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2767
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2768
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2769
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2772
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)

* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2775

2784
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
2785
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
2786
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.

Bug Fixes
2790
*********
2791
2792
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2793
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2794
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2795
2796
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2797
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2798
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2799
2800
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2801
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2802
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2803
2804
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2805
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2806
2807
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2808
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2809
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2810
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2811
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2812
2813
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2814
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2815
2816
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2817
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2818
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2819
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2820
2821
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2822
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2823
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2824
2825
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2826
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2827
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2828
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2829
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2830
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2831
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2832
2833
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2834
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2835
2836
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2837
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2838
to download the entire cix file many times.
2839
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2840
2841
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2842
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)

:Codename: Instant Karma
2858
2859
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2860
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2861
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2862
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2863
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2864
existing projects.)
2865
2866
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2867
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2868
2869
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2870
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2871
months or until the following stable release.

Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2874
******************************
2875
2876
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2877
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2878
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2879
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

New Features
2888
************
2889
2890
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2891
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2892
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
2893
2894
Bug Fixes
2895
*********
2896
2897
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2898
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2899
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2900
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2901
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2902
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2903
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2904
2905
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2906
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2907
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2908
2909
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2910
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2911
2912
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2913
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2914
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2915
2916
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2917
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2918
2919
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2920
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2921
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2922
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2923
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2924
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2925
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2926
2927
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2928
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2929
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2930
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2931
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2932
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2933
2934
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2935
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2936
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2937
2938
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2939
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2940
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2941
2942
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2943
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2944
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2945
2946
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2947
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2948
2949
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2950
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2951
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

2960
2961
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2962
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2963
2964
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2965
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2966
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2967
2968
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2969
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2970
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2971
2972
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs

Compatibility Breaks
2983
********************
2984
2985
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2986
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2987
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2988
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2989
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2990
2991
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2992
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2993
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.

* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3006
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3007
3008
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3009
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3010
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3011
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3012
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3013
3014

3015
raised by newer versions of pycurl.

3025
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3026
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3027
3028
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3029
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3030
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

3038
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3039
3040
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3041
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3042
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3043
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3044
``bazaar.conf``.
3045

* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3051
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3052
3053
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3054
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3055
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3058
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3059
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3060
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3061
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3062
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)

3145
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3146
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3147
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
3149
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)

* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3158
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3159
3160
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3161
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3162
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3163
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3164
3165
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
3166
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
3167
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)

3169
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3170
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
3171
3172
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3173
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
3174
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
3175
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)

3183
3184
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3185
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3186
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3187
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
3188
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
3189
3190
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3191
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
3192

friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
3214
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
3215
3216
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
3217
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
3218
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
3219
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
3220
(John Arbash Meinel)
3221
3222
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
3223
protocols. (Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
3226
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
3227
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
3228
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
3229
Arbash Meinel)

This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3246
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3247
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3248
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3249
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3250
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3251
3252
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3253
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3254
or until the following stable release.
3255
3256
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.

New Features
3259
************
3260
3261
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3262
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3263
3264
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3265
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3266
(Martin Pool, #391411)
3267
3268
Bug Fixes
3269
*********
3270
3271
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3272
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3273
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3274
3275
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3276
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3277
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3278
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3279
3280
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3281
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3282
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3283
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3284
3285
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3286
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3287
3288
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3289
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3290
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3291
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3292
3293
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3294
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3295
3296
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3297
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3298
3299
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3300
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3301
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3302
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3303
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3304
3305
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3306
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3307
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3308
3309
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3310
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3311
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3312
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3313
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3314
3315
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3316
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3317
3318
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3319
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3320
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3321
3322
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3323
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3324
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3325
3326
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3327
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3328
3329
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3330
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3331
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3332
3333
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3334
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3335
3336
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3337
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3338
3339
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3340
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3341
3342
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3343
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3344
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3345
3346
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3347
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3348
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3349
3350
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3351
3352
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3353
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3354
3355
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3356
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3357
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3358
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3359
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3360
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3361
3362
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3363
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3364
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3365
3366
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3367
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3368
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3369
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3370
3371
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3372
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3373
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3374
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3375
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3376
3377
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3378
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3379
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3380

Improvements
3382
************
3383
3384
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3385
(Marius Kruger)
3386
3387
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3388
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3389
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3390
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3391
3392
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3393
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

API Changes
3402
***********
3403
3404
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3405
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3406
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3407
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3408
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3409
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3410
3411
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3412
(Aaron Bentley)
3413
3414
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3415
(Martin Pool)
3416
3417
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3418
UIFactory.
3419
(Martin Pool)
3420
3421
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3422
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3423
3424
Internals
3425
*********
3426
3427
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3428
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3429
paths. (Robert Collins)
3430
3431
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3432
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3433
3434
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3435
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3436
disk. (Robert Collins)
3437
3438
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3439
it. (Robert Collins)
3440
3441
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3442
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.

* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3453
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3454
3455
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3456
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3457
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3458
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3459
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3460
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3482
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3483
stable".
3484
3485
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3486
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3487
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3488
annoying progress bar artifacts.

Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3492
*********************************
3493
3494
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3495
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3496
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3497
3498
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3499
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3500
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3501

3506
Compatibility Breaks
3507
********************
3508
3509
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3510
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3511
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.

New Features
3516
************
3517
3518
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3519
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3520
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3521
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3522
3523
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3524
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3525
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3526
3527
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3528
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3529
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3530
behavior.
3531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3532
3533
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3534
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3535
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3536
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

3541
3542
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3543
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3544
3545
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3546
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3547
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3548
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3549
3550
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3551
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3552
3553
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3554
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3555
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3556
3557
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3558
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3559
3560
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3561
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3562
3563
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3564
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3565
3566
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3567
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3568
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3569
3570
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3571
(Ian Clatworthy)

3573
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3574
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
3575
3576
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3577
of a remote repository.
3578
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
3579

3581
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
3582
(Andrew Bennetts)
3583
3584
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3585
transforms.
3586
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
3587
3588
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3589
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3590
3591
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3592
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3593
3594
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3595
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3596
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3597
3598
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3599
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3600
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3601
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3602
(John Arbash Meinel)
3603
3604
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3605
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3606
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3607
3608
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3609
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3610
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3611
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3612
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3613
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3614
3615
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3616
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3617
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3618
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3619
activity display respectively.
3620
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3621
3622
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3623
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3624
3625
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
3626
(Martin Pool)
3627
3628
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.

3635
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3636
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3637
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3638
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3639
3640
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3641
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3642
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3643
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3644
(Robert Collins)
3645
3646
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3647
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3648
3649
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3650
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3651
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3652
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3653
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3654
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3655
3656
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3657
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3658
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3659
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)

* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3662

3667
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into

3675
3676
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3677
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3678
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3679
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3680
3681
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3682
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3683
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3684
3685
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3686
(Benoît PIERRE)
3687
3688
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3689
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3690
3691
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3692
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3693
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3694
3695
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3696
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3697
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3698
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)

:Released: 2009-06-26
3728
3729
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3730
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3731
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3732
intermittently.
3733
3734
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3735
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3736
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3737
3738
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3739
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
3740
3741
Bug Fixes
3742
*********
3743
3744
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3745
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3746
3747
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3748
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3749
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3750
3751
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3752
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3753
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3754
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3755
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3756
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3757
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3758
3759
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3760
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3761
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3762
3763
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3764
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3765
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3766
3767
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3768
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3769
that. (Robert Collins)
3770
3771
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3772
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3773
repository. (Robert Collins)
3774
3775
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3776
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3777
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3778
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
3819
************
3820
3821
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3822
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3823
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3824
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3825
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3826
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3827
in bzr 2.0.
3828
3829
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3830
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3831
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3832
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3833
3834
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3835
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3836
3837
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3838
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3839
3840
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3841
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3842
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3843
3844
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3845
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)

3848
************
3849
3850
3851
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3852
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3853
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3854
3855
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3856
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3857
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3858
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3859
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3860
3861
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3862
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3863
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3864
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3865
3866
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3867
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3868
* diff (2X faster)
3869
* tags (70X faster)

* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3874
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3875
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3886

3887
3888
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3889
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3890
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3891
3892
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3893
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3894
3895
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3896
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3897
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3898
3899
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3900
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3901
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3902

3911
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3912
3913
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3914
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3915
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3916
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3917
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3918
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3919
bug-free) methods.
3920
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)

3925
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3926
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3927
3928
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3929
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3930
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3931
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3932
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3933
3934
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3935
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3936

3937
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

4104
4105
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4106
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4107
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4108
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4109
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4110
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4111
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4112
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4113
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4114
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4115
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4116
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4117
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4118
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
4119
4120
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
4121
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
4122
(Robert Collins, #368921)
4123
4124
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.

API Changes
4131
***********
4132
4133
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
4134
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
4135
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
4136
4137
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
4138
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
4139
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
4140
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
4141

Internals
4144
*********
4145
4146
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
4147
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
4148
encoding. (Robert Collins)
4149
4150
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
4151
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
4152
(Robert Collins)
4153
4154
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4155
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4156
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4157
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4158
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4159
4160
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4161
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4162
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4163
4164
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4165
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4166
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4167
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4168
4169
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4170
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4171
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4172
4173
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4174
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4175
4176
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4177
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4178
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4179
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4180
4181
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4182
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4183
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4184
4185
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4186
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4187
4188
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4189
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4190
branches. (Robert Collins)
4191
4192
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4193
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4194
4195
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4196
4197
Testing
4198
*******
4199
4200
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4201
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4252
********************
4253
4254
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4255
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4256
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4257
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4258
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4259
4260
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4261
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4262
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4263
4264
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4265
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4266
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4267
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4268
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4269
4270
New Features
4271
************
4272
4273
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4274
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4275
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4276
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4277
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4278
(Ian Clatworthy)
4279
4280
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4281
(Aaron Bentley)
4282
4283
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4284
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4285
4286
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4287
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4288
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4289
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4290
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4291
4292
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4293
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4294
4295
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4296
(Aaron bentley)
4297
4298
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4299
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4300
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4301
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4302
(Ian Clatworthy)
4303
4304
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4305
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4306
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4307
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4308
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4309
4310
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4311
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4312
(Ian Clatworthy)
4313
4314
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4315
(Aaron Bentley)
4316
4317
Improvements
4318
************
4319
4320
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4321
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4322
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4323
4324
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4325
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4326
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4327
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4328
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4329
4330
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4331
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4332
(Ian Clatworthy)
4333
4334
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4335
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4336
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4337
4338
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4339
(Ian Clatworthy)
4340
4341
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4342
(Ian Clatworthy)
4343
4344
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4345
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4346
4347
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4348
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4349
4350
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4351
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4352
4353
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4354
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4355
#294479)
4356
4357
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4358
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4359
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4360
4361
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4362
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4363
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4364
(Ian Clatworthy)
4365
4366
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4367
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4368
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4369
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4370
4371
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4372
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4373
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4374
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4375
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4376
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4377
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4378
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4379
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4380
4381
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
4385
*********
4386
4387
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4388
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4389
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4390
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4391
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4392
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4393
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4396
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4397
4398
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4399
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4400
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4401
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4402
4403
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4404
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4405
4406
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4407
4408
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4409
#313028)
4410
4411
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4412
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4413
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4414
4415
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4416
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4417
4418
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4419
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4420
4421
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4422
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4423
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4424
4425
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4426
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4427
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4428
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4429
4430
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4431
4432
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4434
4435
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4436
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4437
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4438
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4439
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4440
4441
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4442
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4443
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4444
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4445
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4446
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4447
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4448
4449
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4450
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4451
4452
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4453
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4454
(Andrea Bolognani)
4455
4456
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4457
(James Westby, #341558)
4458
4459
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4460
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4461
4462
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4463
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4464
4465
Documentation
4466
*************
4467
4468
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4469
4470
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4471
4472
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
4476
***********
4477
4478
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4479
(Martin Pool)
4480
4481
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4482
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4483
(Robert Collins)
4484
4485
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4486
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4487
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4488
4489
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4490
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4491
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4492
4493
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4494
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4495
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4496
4497
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4498
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4499
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4500
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4501
(Ian Clatworthy)
4502
4503
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4504
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4505
(Jean-Francois Roy)
4506
4507
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4508
(Martin Pool)
4509
4510
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4511
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4512
4513
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4514
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4515
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4516
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4517
4518
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4519
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4520
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4521
4522
Testing
4523
*******
4524
4525
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4526
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4527
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4528
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4529
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4530
4531
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4533
4534
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4535
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4536
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4537
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4538
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4539
4540
Internals
4541
*********
4542
4543
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4544
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4545
4546
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4547
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4548
4549
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4550
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4551
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4552
4553
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4554
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4555
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4556
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4557
4558
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4559
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4560
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4561
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4562
4563
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4564
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4565
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4566
4567
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4568
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4569
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4570
4571
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4572
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4573
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4574
4575
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4576
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4577
(Robert Collins)
4578
4579
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4580
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4581
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4582
4583
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4584
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4585
4586
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4587
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4588
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4589
4590
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4591
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4592
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4593
4594
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4595
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4596
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4597
4598
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4599
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4600
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4601
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4602
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4603
4604
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4605
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4606
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4607
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4608
4609
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4610
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4611
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4612
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4613
4614
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4615
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4616
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4617
4618
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4619
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4620
(Andrew Bennetts)
4621
4622
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4623
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4624
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4625
4626
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4627
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4628
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4629
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4630
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4631
4632
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4633
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4634
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4635
Vincent Ladeuil)
4636
4637
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4638
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4639
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4640
desired. (Robert Collins)
4641
4642
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4643
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4644
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4645
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4646
4647
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4648
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4649
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4666
*****************************
4667
4668
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4669
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4670
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4671
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4672
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4673
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4674
appeared now.

Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4684
********************************
4685
4686
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4687
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4688
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.

4694
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4695
4696
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4697
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4698
4699
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4700
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4701
4702

Compatibility Breaks
4715
********************

New Features
4723
************
4724
4725
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4726
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4727
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4728
4729
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4730
(Martin Pool)
4731
4732
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4733
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4734
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4735
(Ian Clatworthy)
4736
4737
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4738
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4739
4740
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4741
(John Arbash Meinel)
4742
4743
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4744
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4745
4746
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4747
4748
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4749
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4750
(Jonathan Lange)
4751
4752
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4753
(Jonathan Lange)
4754
4755
Improvements
4756
************
4757
4758
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4759
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4760
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4761
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4762
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4763
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4764
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4765
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4766
(Robert Collins)
4767
4768
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4769
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4770
4771
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4772
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4773
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4774
4775
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4776
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4777
4778
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4779
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4780
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4781
(Ian Clatworthy)
4782
4783
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4784
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4785
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4786
4787
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4788
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4789
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4790
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4791
4792
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4793
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4794
4795
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4796
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4797
4798
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4799
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4800
4801
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4802
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4803
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4804
4805
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4806
4807
Bug Fixes
4808
*********
4809
4810
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4811
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4812
4813
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4814
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4815
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4816
4817
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4818
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4820
4821
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4822
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4823
4824
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4825
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4826
Vernooij, #315048)
4827
4828
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4829
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4830
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4831
4832
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4833
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4834
4835
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4836
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4837
4838
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4839
(James Westby, #174539)
4840
4841
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4842
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4843
4844
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4845
error branching from old repositories.
4846
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4847
4848
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4849
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4850
4851
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4852
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4853
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4854
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4855
4856
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4857
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4858
#334808)
4859
4860
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4861
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4862
4863
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4864
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4865
4866
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4867
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4868
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4869
4870
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4871
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4872
4873
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4874

*************
4878
4879
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4880
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4881
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4882
(Ian Clatworthy)
4883
4884
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4885
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4886
4887
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
4891
***********
4892
4893
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4894
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4895
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4896
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4897
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4898
4899
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4900
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4901
4902
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4903
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4904
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4905
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4906
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4907
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4908
4909
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4910
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4911
4912
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4913
"author" argument being deprecated.
4914
4915
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4916
4917
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4918
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4919
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4920
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4921
4922
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4923
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4924
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4925
4926
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4927
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4928
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4929
4930
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4931
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4932
4933
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4934
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4935
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4936
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4937
4938
Internals
4939
*********
4940
4941
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4942
free of virtual file system methods.
4943
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4944
4945
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4946
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4947
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4948
4949
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4950
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4951
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4952
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4953
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4954
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4955
4956
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4957
4958
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4959
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4960
4961
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4962
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4963
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4964
stream the operation.
4965
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4966
4967
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4968
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4971
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4972
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4973
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4974
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4975
4976
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4977
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4978
4979
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4980
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4981
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4982
4983
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4984
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4985
(Robert Collins)
4986
4987
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4988
(Robert Collins)
4989
4990
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4991
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4992
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4993
4994
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4995
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4996
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4997
4998
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4999
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5000
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5001
5002
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5003
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5004
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5005
5006
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5007
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5008
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5009
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5010
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5011

* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5013
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5014
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5015
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5016
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5017
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5018
5019
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5020
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5021
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5022
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5023
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5024
5025
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5026
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5027
5028
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5029
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5030
5031
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5032
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5033
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5034
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5035
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5036
5037
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5038
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5050
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5051
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5052
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5053
by showing the rate of network IO.

5055
Changes from RC1 to Final
5056
*************************
5057
5058
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5059
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5060
5061
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5062
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5063
5064
Compatibility Breaks
5065
********************
5066
5067
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5068
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5069
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5070
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5071
5072
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5073
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5074
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5075
(Ian Clatworthy)
5076
5077
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5078
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5079
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5080
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5081
5082
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5083
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5084
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5085
(Ian Clatworthy)
5086
5087
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5088
5089
New Features
5090
************
5091
5092
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5093
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5094
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5095
(Marius Kruger)
5096
5097
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5098
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5099
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5100
5101
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5102
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5103
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5104
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5105
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5106
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5107
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5108
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5109
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5110
(Ian Clatworthy)
5111
5112
Improvements
5113
************
5114
5115
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5116
(Daniel Watkins)
5117
5118
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5119
(Marius Kruger)
5120
5121
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5122
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5123
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5124
5125
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5126
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5127
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5128
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5129
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5130
5131
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5132
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5133
5134
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5135
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5136
level for better precision.
5137
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5138
5139
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5140
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5141
5142
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5143
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5144
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5145
5146
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5147
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5148
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5149
(Andrew Bennetts)
5150
5151
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5152
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5153
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5154
5155
Bug Fixes
5156
*********
5157
5158
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5159
anymore.
5160
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5161
5162
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5163
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5164
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5165
5166
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5167
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5168
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5169
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5170
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5171
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5172
5173
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5174
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5175
5176
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5177
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5178
5179
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5180
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5181
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5182
5183
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5184
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5185
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5186
(Andrew Bennetts)
5187
5188
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5189
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5190
5191
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5192
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5193
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5194
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5195
5196
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5197
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5198
handled.
5199
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5200
5201
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)

API Changes
5209
***********
5210
5211
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5212
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5213
(Martin Pool)
5214
5215
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5216
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5217
5218
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5219
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5220
5221
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5222
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5223
5224
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5225
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5226
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5227
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5228
5229
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5230
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5231
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5232
5233
Internals
5234
*********
5235
5236
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5237
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5238
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5239
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5240
compile buffers, are such an example).
5241
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5242
5243
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5244
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5245
(Ian Clatworthy)
5246
5247
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5248
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5249
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5250
(Ian Clatworthy)
5251
5252
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5253
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5254
5255
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5256
formatters to retrict the output.

:Released: 2009-01-19
5265
5266
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5267
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5268
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5269
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5270
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5271
5272
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5273
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5274
advice.
5275
5276
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5277
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5300
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5301
5302
New Features
5303
************
5304
5305
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5306
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5307
5308
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5309
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5310
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5311
implement other plugins.
5312
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5313
5314
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.

Improvements
5318
************
5319
5320
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5321
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5322
5323
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5324
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5325
5326
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5327
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5328
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5329
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5330
(Mark Hammond)
5331
5332
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5333
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5334
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5335
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5336
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5337
5338
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5339
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5340
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5341
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5342
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

5346
5347
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5348
control directory. (#139691)
5349
5350
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5351
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5352
5353
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5354
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5355
5356
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5357
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5358
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
5359
5360
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
5361
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)

5374
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
5375
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
5376
5377
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5378
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5379
5380
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5381
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5382
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5383
5384
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5385
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5386
in the appropriate sections.
5387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5388
5389
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
5390
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5391
(John Arbash meinel)
5392
5393
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5394
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
5395
5396
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
5397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
5398
5399
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
5400
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5401
5402
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5403
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
5404
work better with how it splits its requests.
5405
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
5406
5407
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5408
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5409
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5410
5411
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
5412
(Aaron Bentley)
5413
5414
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
5415
5416
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
5417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)

API Changes
5431
***********
5432
5433
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5434
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5435
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5436
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5437
5438
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5439
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5440
5441
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5442
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5443
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5444
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5445
5446
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5447
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5448
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5449
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5450
5451
Testing
5452
*******
5453
5454
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5455
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5456
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5457
5458
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5459
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5460
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5461
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5462
5463
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5464
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5465
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.

5472
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5473
(John Arbash Meinel)
5474
5475
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5476
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5477
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.

* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5481
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5482
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5483
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5484
5485
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5486
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5487
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5488
5489
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5490
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5491
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5492
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5493
5494
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5495
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5496
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5497
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5498
(John Arbash Meinel)
5499
5500
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5501
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5502
5503
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5504
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5505
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5506
5507
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5508
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5509
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5510
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5511
5512
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5513
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5514
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5515
(John Arbash Meinel)
5516
5517
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5518
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5519
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5520
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5521
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5522
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5523
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5524
5525
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5526

5535
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5536
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5537
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5538
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5539
implementation.
5540
5541
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.

*********
5545
5546
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5547
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5548
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5549
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5550
5551
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5552
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5553
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5554
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5555
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

:Released: 2008-11-28
5562
5563
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5564
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5565
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5566
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5567
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features

************
5571
5572
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5573
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5574
5575
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
5579
************
5580
5581
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5582
history just to set the last revision info.
5583
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5584
5585
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5586
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5587
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5588
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5589
5590
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5591
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5592
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5593
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5594
(John Arbash Meinel)
5595
5596
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5597
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5598
5599
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5600
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5601
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5602
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5603
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5604
5605
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5606
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5607
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5608
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
5611
*********
5612
5613
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5614
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5615
5616
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5617
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5618
5619
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5620
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5621
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5622
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5623
5624
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5625
starting with a dotted revno.
5626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5627
5628
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5629
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5630
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5631
5632
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5633
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5634
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5635
5636
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5637
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5638
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5639
5640
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5641
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5642
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5643
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5644
5645
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5646
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5647
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5648
5649
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

5652
API Changes
5653
***********
5654
5655
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5656
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5657
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5658
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5659
5660
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5661
have changed incompatibly.
5662
5663
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5664
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5665
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5666
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5667
don't need to change.
5668
5669
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5670
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

:Released: 2008-11-07
5685
5686
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5687
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5688
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5689
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5690
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5691
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5692
5693
Bug Fixes
5694
*********
5695

5698
5699
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)

5714
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5715
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5716
5717
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5718
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5719
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5720
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5721
5722
Improvements
5723
************
5724
5725
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5726
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5727
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5728
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5729
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5730
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5731
5732
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5733
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5734
5735
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5736
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5737
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5738
5739
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5740
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5741
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5742
(Andrew Bennetts)
5743
5744
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5745
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5746
5747
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5748
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5749
5750
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5751
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5752
5753
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5754
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5755
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5756
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5757
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5758
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5759
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5760
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5761
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5762
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

5764
Bug Fixes
5765
*********
5766
5767
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5768
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5769
5770
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5771
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5772
5773
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5774
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5775
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5776
5777
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5778
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5779
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5780
5781
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5782
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5783
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5784
5785
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5786
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5787
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5788
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5789
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5790
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5791
5792
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5793
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5794
5795
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5796
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5797
5798
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5799
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5800
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5801
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5802
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5803
5804
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5805
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5806
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

*******
5857
5858
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5859
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5860
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5861
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5862
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)

5865
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)

5869
5870
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5871
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5872
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5873
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with

5889
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5890
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5891
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5892
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5893
5894
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5895
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5896
(Daniel Watkins)
5897
5898

5899
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5911
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5912
5913
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5914
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5915
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5916
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5917
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5918
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5919
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5920
operations. (Robert Collins)

************
6161
6162
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6163
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6164
(Martin Pool)
6165
6166
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6167
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6168
6169
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6170
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6171
(Marius Kruger)
6172
6173
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6174
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6175
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6176
(John Arbash Meinel)
6177
6178
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6179
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6180
6181
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6182
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6183
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6184
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6185
(John Arbash Meinel)
6186
6187
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6188
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6189
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6190
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6191
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6192
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6193
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6194
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6195
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6196
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6202
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6203
6204
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6205
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6206
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6207
6208
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6209
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6210
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6211
6212
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6213
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6214
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6215
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6216
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6217
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6218
6219
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6220
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6221
6222
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6223
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6224
6225
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6226
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6227
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6228
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6229
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6230
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
6231
6232
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6233
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6234
6235
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6236
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6237
6238
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6239
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6240
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6241
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6242
6243
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6244
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6245
6246
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6247
assuming the host name is ascii.
6248
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)

6302
6303
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6304
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6305
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6306
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6307
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

6311
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6312
6313
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6314
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6315
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6316
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6317
6318
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6319
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6320
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6321
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

6351
:Released: 2008-08-29
6352
6353
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6354
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6355
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6356
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6357
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6358
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6359
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6360
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6361
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6362
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6363
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6364
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6365
6366
Bug Fixes
6367
*********
6368
6369
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6370
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6371
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6372
start of the string (causing more copies).
6373
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6374
especially for projects with large files.
6375
(John Arbash Meinel)
6376
6377
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6378
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6379
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6380
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6381
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6382
6383
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6384
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6385
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6386
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6387
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6398
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6399
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6400
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6401
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6402
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6403
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle

* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic

6458
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
6459
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
6460
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
6461
6462
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
6463
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
6464
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
6465
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
6466
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
6467
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
6468
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
6486
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
6487
(Aaron Bentley)
6488
6489
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
6490
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
6491
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
6492
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
6493
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
6494
6495
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
6496
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6497
6498
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6499
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6500
6501
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6502
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6503
6504
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6505
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6506
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6507
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6508
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6509
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

6517
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6518
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6519
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6520
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6521
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6522
6523
Changes
6524
*******
6525
6526
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6527
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6528
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)

6532
6533
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6534
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6535
6536
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6537
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6538
6539
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6540
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6541
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6542
6543
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6544
(James Westby)
6545
6546
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6547
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6548
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6549
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6550
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6551
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6552
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6553
6554
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6555
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6556
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)

* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6562
physical repository boundaries.
6563
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6564
6565
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6566
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6567

* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6569
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6570
(Martin Pool)
6571
6572
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6573
(Ian Clatworthy)
6574
6575
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
6576
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
6577
that Python is running from.
6578
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
6579
6580
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
6581
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.

(Robert Collins, #150438)
6583

* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
6585
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)

API Changes
6598
***********
6599
6600
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
6601
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
6602
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
6603
(Robert Collins)
6604
6605
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
6606
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
6607
(Robert Collins)
6608
6609
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6610
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6611
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6612
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6613
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6614
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
6615
(Robert Collins)
6616
6617
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
6618
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6619
6620
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6621
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6622
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6623
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6624
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
6625
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
6626
6627
Internals
6628
*********
6629
6630
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
6631
putting together a real history without having to create a full
6632
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
6633
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
6634
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
6635
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6636
6637
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
6638
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
6639
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
6640
6641
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
6642
(Ian Clatworthy)
6643
6644
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
6645
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)

6656
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
6657
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
6658
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
6659
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
6660
bug fixes.
6661
6662
Features
6663
********
6664
6665
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
6666
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
6667
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6668
6669
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6670
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6671
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6672
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6673
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6674
(Ian Clatworthy)
6675
6676
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6677
6678
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6679
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6680
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6681
(Robert Collins)
6682
6683
Improvements
6684
************
6685
6686
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6687
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6688
(Martin Pool)
6689
6690
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6691
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6692
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6693
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6694
6695
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6696
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6697
(Christophe Troestler)
6698
6699
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6700
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6701
6702
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6703
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6704
faster. The new request method name is
6705
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
6708
*********
6709
6710
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6711
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6712
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6713
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6714
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6715
6716
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6717
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6718
6719
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6720
requires a branch to be present.
6721
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6722
6723
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6724
loaded.
6725
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6726
6727
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6728
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6729
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6730
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6731
6732
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6733
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6734
6735
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6736
name contains an @.
6737
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6738
6739
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6740
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6741
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6742
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6743
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6744
6745
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6746
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6747
6748
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6749
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6750
6751
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6752
Cygwin Bazaar.
6753
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6754
6755
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.

* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6774

6775
6776
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6777
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6778
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6779
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6780
6781
API Changes
6782
***********
6783
6784
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6785
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6786
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6787
Repository docstring for more details.
6788
(Robert Collins)
6789
6790
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6791
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6792
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6793
6794
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6795
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6796
(Daniel Watkins)
6797
6798
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6799
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6800
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6801
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

6809
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6810
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6811
containing a given location.
6812
(Daniel Watkins)
6813
6814
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6815
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6816
storage. (Robert Collins)
6817
6818

6819
(Robert Collins)
6820

*********
6838
6839
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6840
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6841
reading from the repository.)
6842
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)

6851
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6852
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6853
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6854
6855
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6856
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6857
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6858
6859
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6860
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6861
6862
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6863
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6864
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

:Released: 2008-06-02
6916
6917
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6918
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6919
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6920
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6921
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6922
and future extensions.
6923
6924
6925
Notes When Upgrading
6926
********************
6927
6928
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6929
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6930
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6931
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6932
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6933
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6934
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

*******
6939
6940
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6941
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.

6947
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6948
load. (James Westby)
6949
6950
Improvements
6951
************
6952
6953
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6954
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6955
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6956
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6957
6958
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6959
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6960
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6961
6962
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6963
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6964
6965
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6966
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6967
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6968
6969
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6970
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6971
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6972
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6973
step closer to not using full revision history.

Bugfixes
6977
********
6978
6979
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6980
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6981
6982
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6983
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6984
6985
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6986
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6987
6988
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6989
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6990
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6991
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6992
6993
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6994
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6995
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6996
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6997
6998
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6999
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
7000
in use by another process.
7001
(Martin Pool)
7002
7003
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
7004
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
7005
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
7006
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
7007
7008
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
7009
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
7010
7011
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
7012
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
7013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
7014
7015
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
7016
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
7017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
7018
7019
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
7020
them.
7021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
7022
7023
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
7024
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
7025
7026
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
7027
under vim on Mac OS X.
7028
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7029
7030

* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is

*********
7063
7064
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
7065
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
7066
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
7067
(John Arbash Meinel)
7068
7069
API Changes
7070
***********
7071
7072
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7073
instead. (Martin Pool)
7074
7075
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7076
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7077
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7078
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7079
7080
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7081
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7082
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7083
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7084
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7085
7086
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7087
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7088
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7089
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7090
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7091
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7092
7093
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7094
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7095
(Martin Pool)
7096
7097
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7098
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7099
(Robert Collins)
7100
7101
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7102
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7103
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7104
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7105
7106
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7107
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7108
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7109
7110
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7111
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7112
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7113
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7114
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7115
(Martin Pool)
7116
7117
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7118
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7119
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7120
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7121
(Robert Collins)
7122
7123
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7124
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7125
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7126
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7127
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7128
7129
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

*******
7385
7386
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
7387
7388
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
7389
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
7390
7391
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
7392
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
7393
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
7394
7395
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
7396
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
7397
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
7398
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
7399
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7400
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
7401
Andrew Cowie)
7402
7403
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
7404
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
7405
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
7406

Features
7409
********
7410
7411
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
7412
7413
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
7414
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7415
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
7416
7417
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
7418
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
7419
See the User Reference for signature details.
7420
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
7421
7422
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
7423
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
7424
7425
Improvements
7426
************
7427
7428
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7429
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7430
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7431
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7432
7433
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7434
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7435
7436
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7437
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7438
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7439
Wouter van Heyst)
7440
7441
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7442
(Chad Miller)
7443
7444
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7445
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7446
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7447
7448
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7449
(Aaron Bentley)
7450
7451
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7452
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7453
7454
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7455
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7456
7457
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7458
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7459
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7460
7461
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7462
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7463
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7464
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7465
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7466
7467
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7468
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7469
7470
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7471
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7472
7473
Bugfixes
7474
********
7475
7476
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7477
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7478
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7479
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7480
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7481
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7482
7483
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7484
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7485
7486
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7487
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7488
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7489
7490
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7491
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7492
7493
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7494
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7495
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7496
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7497
7498
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7499
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7500
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7501
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7502
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7503
7504
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7505
7506
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7507
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7508
7509
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7510
7511
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7512
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7513
7514
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
7515

Documentation
7518
*************
7519
7520
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
7521
7522
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
7523
7524
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7525
7526
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)

7529
**********
7530
7531
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7532
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7533
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7534
7535
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7536
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7537
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7538
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7539
7540
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7541
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7542
release. (James Westby)
7543
7544
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7545
(Andrew Bennetts)
7546
7547
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7548
7549
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7550
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7551
7552
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7553
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7554
7555
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7556
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7557
7558
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7559
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7560
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7561
7562
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7563
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7564
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7565
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7566
7567
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7568
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7569
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7570
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7571
7572
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7573
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7574
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7575
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7576
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7577
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7578
7579
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7580
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7581
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7582
7583
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7584
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7585
7586
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7587
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7588
(Robert Collins)
7589
7590
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7591
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
7592
7593
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7594
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7595
7596
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7597
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7598
7599
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7600
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7601
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7602
7603
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7604
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7605
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7606
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7607
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7608
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7609
7610
Testing
7611
*******
7612
7613
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7614
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7615
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7616
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7617
7618
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7619
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7620
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7621
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7622
implement this).
7623
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7624
7625
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
7626
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
7627
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7628
7629
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
7630
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
7631
7632
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
7633
7634
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
7635
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
7636
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
7637
7638
Internals
7639
*********
7640
7641
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7642
7643
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
7644
(Martin Albisetti)
7645
7646
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7647
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7648
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7649
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7650
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
7651
(Martin Pool, #109520)
7652
7653
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7654
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7655
7656
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7657
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7658
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7659
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
7660
7661
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7662
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
7663
7664
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
7665
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7715
********************
7716
7717
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
7718
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7719
7720
Changes
7721
*******
7722
7723
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7724
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7725
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7726
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7727
(Robert Collins)
7728
7729
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7730
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7731
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7732
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7733
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7734
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7735
7736
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7737
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7738
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7739
(Alexander Belchenko)
7740
7741
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7742
7743
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
7744
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)

* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is

faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
7751
7752
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
7753
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.

Improvements
7757
************
7758
7759
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7760
7761
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7762
7763
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7764
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7765
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7766
7767
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7768
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7769
7770
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7771
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7772
7773
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7774
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7775
(Alexander Belchenko)
7776
7777
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7778
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7779
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7780
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7781
7782
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7783
(Daniel Watkins)
7784
7785
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7786
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7787
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7788
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7789
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
7797
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

7823
symlinks (James Henstridge)

* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7866
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7867
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7868
7869
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7870
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7871
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7872
(Alexander Belchenko)
7873
7874
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7875
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7876
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7877
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7878
7879
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7880
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7881
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7882
(Robert Collins)

* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7885
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``

7889
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7890
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7891
7892
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7893
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7894
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the

Notes When Upgrading
7915
********************
7916
7917
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7918
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7919
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7920
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7921
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7922
(Andrew Bennetts)
7923
7924
Changes
7925
*******
7926
7927
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7928
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7929
7930
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7931
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7932
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7933
7934
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7935
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7936
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7937
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7938
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7939
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7940

7941
7942
Features
7943
********
7944
7945
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7946
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7947
7948
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7949
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7950
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7951
(Robert Collins)
7952
7953
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7954
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7955
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7956
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7957
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7958
7959
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7960
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7961
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7962
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7963
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7964
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7965
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7966
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

Improvements
7969
************
7970
7971
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7972
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7973
7974
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7975
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7976
7977
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7978
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7979
7980
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7981
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7982
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7983
7984
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7985
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

7989
********
7990
7991
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7992
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7993
7994
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7995
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7996
7997
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7998
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7999
8000
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8001
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8002
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8003
8004
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8005
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8006
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8007
8008
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8009
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8010
8011
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8012
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8013
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8014
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8015
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8016
unittest runner.
8017
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8018
8019
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8020
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8021
#185907)
8022
8023
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8024
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8025
8026
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8027
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8028
8029
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8031
8032
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8033
more characters which should be considered valid.
8034
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8035
8036
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8037
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8038
8039
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8040
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)

8044
8045
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8046
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8047
8048
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8049
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)

Internals
8060
*********
8061
8062
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8063
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8064
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8065
8066
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8067
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8068
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8069
8070
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8071
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8072
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8073
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8074
8075
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8076
8077
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8078
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8079
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8080
server. (Robert Collins)
8081
8082
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8083
operate. (Robert Collins)
8084
8085
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8086
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8087
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8088
8089
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8090
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8091
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8092
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8093
8094
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8095
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8096
8097
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8098
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8099
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8100
8101
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8102
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8103
8104
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8105
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8106
8107
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8108
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8109
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8110
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

*******
8127
8128
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8129
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8130
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8131
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8132
8133
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8134
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
8135
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
8136
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

8155
8156
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8157

--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8159
8160
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8161
8162
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8163
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8164
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8165
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8166
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8167
8168
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8169
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8170
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8480
********************
8481
8482
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8483
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8484
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8485
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8486
8487
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8488
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8489
8490
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8491
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8492
8493
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8494
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8495
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8496
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8497
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8498
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8499
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8500
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8501
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8502
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8503
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8504
from any tree without problems.

8511
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8512
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8513
8514
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8515
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).

* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than

supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8546
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8547
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8548
8549
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8550
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8551
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8552
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)

* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.

* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some

8777
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8778
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8779
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8780
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8781
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8782
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8783
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8784
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8785
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8786
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

8825
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8826
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8827
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8828
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8829
8830
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8831
(Robert Collins)
8832
8833
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8834
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8835
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8836
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8837
8838
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8839
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
8840
8841
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
8842
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
8843
8844
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
8845
the contents. (Robert Collins)
8846
8847
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
8848
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

Improvements
8851
************
8852
8853
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8854
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8855
8856
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8857
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8858
8859
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8860
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8861
8862
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8863
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8864
8865
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8866
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)

*************
8870
8871
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)

Bug Fixes
8877
*********
8878
8879
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8880
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8881
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8882
8883
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8884
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8885
8886
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8887
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8888
8889
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8890
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8891
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8892
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8893
8894
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8895
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8896
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8897
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8898
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8899
8900
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8901
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8902
paramiko.
8903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8904
8905
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8906
8907
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8908
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8909
8910
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8912
8913
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8915
8916
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8917
contains a symbolic link.
8918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8919
8920
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8921
(James Westby, #140615)
8922
8923
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8924
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8926
8927
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8928
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8929
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8930
8931
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8932
8933
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8935
8936
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8937
will remain opened.
8938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8939
8940
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8941
directory to detect leaking tests.
8942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8943
8944
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8945
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8946
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8947
8948
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8949
(Rob Weir, #141629)
8950
8951
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8952
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8953
8954
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8955
Merwe)
8956
8957
API Breaks
8958
**********
8959
8960
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8961
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8962
8963
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8964
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8965
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8966
8967
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8968
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8969
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8970
8971
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8972
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8973
8974
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8975
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8976
8977
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8978
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8979
(Martin Pool)
8980
8981
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8982
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8983
8984
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8985
class that needs it.
8986
(Martin Pool)
8987
8988
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8989
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8990
8991
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8992
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8993
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8994
8995
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8996
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8997
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8998
(Robert Collins)
8999
9000
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9001
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9002
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9003
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9004
(Robert Collins)
9005
9006
Internals
9007
*********
9008
9009
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9010
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9011
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9012
9013
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9014
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9015
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9016
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9017
9018
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9019
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9020
(Robert Collins)
9021
9022
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9023
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9024
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9025
9026
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9027
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9028
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9029
9030
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9031
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9032
9033
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9034
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9035
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9036
9037
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9038
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9039
9040
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9041
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9042
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9043
9044
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9045
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9046
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9047
9048
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9049
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9050
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9051
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9052
9053
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9054
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9055
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9056
returned. (Robert Collins)
9057
9058
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9059
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9060
9061
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9062
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9063
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9064
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9065
(Robert Collins)
9066
9067
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9068
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9069
9070
Testing
9071
*******
9072
9073
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9074
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9075
9076
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9077
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9078
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9079
makes this behavior available to other users.
9080
(Martin Pool)
9081
9082
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9083
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
9125
*******
9126
9127
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9128
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9129
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9130
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9131
(Martin Pool)
9132
9133
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9134
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9135
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9136
(Ian Clatworthy)
9137
9138
Features
9139
********
9140
9141
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9142
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9143
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9144
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9145
9146
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9147
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9148
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9149
9150
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9151
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9152
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9153
9154
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9155
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9156
9157
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9158
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9159
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9160
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9161
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9162
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9163
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9164
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9165
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9166
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9167
9168
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9169
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9170
9171
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9172
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9173
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9174
9175
Bug Fixes
9176
*********
9177
9178
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9179
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9180
9181
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9182
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9183
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9184
9185
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9186
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9187
9188
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9189
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9190
9191
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9192
(Aaron Bentley)
9193
9194
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9195
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9196
9197
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9198
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9199
9200
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9201
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9202
9203
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9204
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9205
9206
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9207
9208
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9209
Watkins, #106726)
9210
9211
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9212
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9213
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9214
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9215
9216
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9217
9218
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9219
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9220
#133548)
9221
9222
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9223
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9224
9225
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9226
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9227
#116143)
9228
9229
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9230
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9231
9232
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9233
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9234
9235
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9236
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9237
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9238
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9239
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9240
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9241
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9242
9243
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9244
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9245
9246
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9247
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9248
9249
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9250
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9251
9252
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9254

* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9256
connections.
9257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9258
9259
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9260
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9261
9262
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9263
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9264
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9265
9266
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9267
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

9276
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9277

9278
9279
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9280
(Aaron Bentley)
9281

9285
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9286

9290
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9291
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9292
9293
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9294
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9295
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9296
space). (Robert Collins)
9297
9298
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9299
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9300
(Ian Clatworthy)
9301
9302
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9303
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9304
9305
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9306
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9307
9308
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9309
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9310
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9311
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9312
9313
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9314
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9315
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9316
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9317
9318
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9319
(Ian Clatworthy)
9320
9321
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9322
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9323
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9324
9325
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9326
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9327
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9328
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9329
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)

**********
9333
9334
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9335
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9336
9337
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9338
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9339
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9340
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9341
affected. (Robert Collins)
9342
9343
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9344
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9345
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9346
(Robert Collins)
9347

* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9358
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9359
9360
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9361

9370
*********
9371
9372
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9373
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9374
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9375
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9376
9377
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9378
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9379
9380
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9381
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9382
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9383
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9384
9385
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9386
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9387
present. (Robert Collins)
9388
9389
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9390
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9391
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9392
API. (Robert Collins)
9393
9394
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9395
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9396
(Robert Collins)
9397
9398
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9399
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9400
9401
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9402
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9403
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9404
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9405
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9406
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9407
9408
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9409
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9410
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9411
9412
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9413
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9414
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9415
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9416
protocol.
9417
9418
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9419
(Aaron Bentley)
9420
9421
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9422
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9423
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9424
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9425
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9426
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9427
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9428
9429
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9430
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9431
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9432
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9433
9434
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9435
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9436
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9437
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9438
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9439
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9440
9441
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9442
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9443
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9444
9445
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9446
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

***********
9469
9470
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``

9472
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

Bugfixes
9481
********
9482
9483
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9484
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9485
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9486
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9487
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9488
9489
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9491
9492
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9493
anymore.
9494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9495
9496
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9497
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9498
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9499
9500
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9501
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9502
#111664)
9503
9504
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9505
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9506
9507
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9508
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9509
9510
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9511
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9512
9513
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9514
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9515
9516
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9517
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9518
9519
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9520
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)

9528
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9529
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9530
9531
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9532
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9533
9534
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9535
the repository (Robert Collins)
9536
9537
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9538
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9539
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9540
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9541
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9542
9543
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9544
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9545
9546
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9547
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9548
(John Arbash Meinel)
9549
9550
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9551
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9552
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9553
about 10%).
9554
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9555
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9556
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9557
(John Arbash Meinel)
9558
9559
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9560
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9561
(Robert Collins)
9562
9563
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9564
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9565
9566
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9567
(Ian Clatworthy)
9568
9569
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9570
9571
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9572
9573
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9574
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9575
9576
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9577
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9578
Meinel)
9579
9580
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9581
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9582
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9583
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9584
9585
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9586
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9587
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9588
9589
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9590
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9591
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9592
9593
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9594
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9595
9596
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9597
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9598
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9599
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9600
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9601
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9602
(Ian Clatworthy)
9603
9604
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
9605
(Alexander Belchenko)
9606
9607
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
9608
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9609
9610
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9611
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
9612
9613
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

Library API Breaks
9619
******************
9620
9621
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9622
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9623
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9624
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9625
9626
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9627
9628
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9629
(Robert Collins)
9630
9631
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9632
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9633
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9634
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9635
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9636
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
9637

Internals
9639
*********
9640
9641
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9642
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9643
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9644
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9645
9646
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9647
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9648
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9649
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9650
tests have been refactored too.
9651
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9652
9653
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9654
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9655
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9656
list, it will.
9657
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9658
9659
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9660
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9661
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9662
9663
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9664
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9665
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9666
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9667
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9668
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9669
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9670
9671
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9672
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9673
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9674
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9675
(John Arbash Meinel)
9676
9677
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9678
functionality for testing.
9679
9680
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9681
9682
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9683
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9684
9685
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9686
9687
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9688
(Robert Collins)
9689
9690
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9691
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9692
9693
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9694
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9695
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9696
9697
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9698
(Aaron Bentley)
9699
9700
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9701
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9702
9703
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9704
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9705
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9706
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9707
9708
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9709
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9710
9711
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9712
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9713
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9714
9715
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9716
(Marius Kruger)
9717
9718
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9719
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9720
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9721
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9722
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9723
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9724
9725
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9726
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9727
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9728
many files. (Robert Collins)
9729
9730
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9731
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9732
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9733
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9734
9735
Testing
9736
*******
9737
9738
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9739
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9740
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9741
9742
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9743
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9744
9745
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:

************
9816
9817
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9818
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9819
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9820

* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9829

* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9832

9833
9834
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9835
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9836
9837
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9838
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9839
9840
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9841
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9842
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9843
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9844
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9845
9846
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9847
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9848
9849

9907
9908
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9909
9910
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9911
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9912
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9913
9914
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9915

9916
9917
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9918
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9919
9920
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9921
9922
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9923
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9924
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9925
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9926
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9927
same location. (Robert Collins)

9940
9941
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9942
(Martin Pool)
9943
9944
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9945
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9946
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9947
9948
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9949
9950
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9951
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9952
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9953
9954
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9955
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9956
9957
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9958
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9959
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9960
9961
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9962
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9963
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9964
9965
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9966
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9967
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9968
9969
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9970
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9971
Martin Pool)
9972
9973
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9974
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9975
9976
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9977

Testing
9980
*******
9981
9982
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9983
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9984
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9985
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9986
9987
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9988
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9989
testing. (Robert Collins)
9990
9991
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9992
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9993
9994
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9995
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9996
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9997
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9998
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9999
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10000
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10001
10002
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10003
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10004
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10005
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10006
10007
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10008
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10009
10010
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10011
avoid useless cloning.

********************
10037
10038
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10039
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10040
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10041
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10042
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10043
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10044
and unlock() like so::
10045
10046
work_tree.lock_read()
10047

* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10055
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10056
object.
10057
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10058
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10059
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10060
10061

10070
Aaron Bentley)
10071
10072
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10073
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10074
10075
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10076
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10077
10078
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10079
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10080
understanding what changes have occurred
10081
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10082
10083
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10084
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10085
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10086
10087
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10088
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10089
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10090
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

10201
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if

10203
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10204
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option

* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10216
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10217
10218
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10219
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10220
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10221
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10222
10223
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10224
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10225
10226
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10227
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10228
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10229
10230
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10231
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10232
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10233
10234
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10235
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10236
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10237
10238
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10239
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10240
Robert Collins)
10241
10242
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10243
Pool)
10244
10245
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10246
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10247
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10248
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10249
10250
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10251
(Robert Collins)
10252
10253
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10254
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10255
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10256
(Robert Collins)
10257
10258
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10259
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10260
10261
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10262
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10263
10264
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10265
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10266
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10267
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10268
(Robert Collins)
10269
10270
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10271
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10272
10273
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10274
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10275
10276
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10277
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10278
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10279
10280
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10281
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10282
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10283
10284
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10285
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10286
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10287
10288
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10289
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10290
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10291
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10292
10293
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10294
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10295
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10296
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10297
10298
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10299
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10300
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10301
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10302
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10303
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10304
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10305
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10306
header(s).

*********
10311
10312
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10313
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10314
10315
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10316
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10317
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10318
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10319
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10320
10321
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10322
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10323
10324
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10325
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10326
10327
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10328
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10329
10330
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10331
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10332
10333
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10334
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10335
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10336
(Robert Collins).
10337
10338
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10339
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10340
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10341
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10342
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10343
(Robert Collins)
10344
10345
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10346
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10347
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10348
10349
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10350
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10351
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10352
10353
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10354
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10355
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10356
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10357
10358
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10359
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10360
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10361
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10362
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10363
10364
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10365
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10366
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10367
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10368
10369
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10370
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10371
10372
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10373
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10374
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10375
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10376
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10377
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10378
10379
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10380
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10381
10382
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10383
help. (Robert Collins)
10384
10385
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10386
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10387
10388
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10389
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10390
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10391
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10392
(John Arbash Meinel)
10393
10394
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10395
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10396
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10397
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10398
useful. (Robert Collins)
10399
10400
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

10426
10427
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10428
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10429
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10430
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10431
10432
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10433

10434
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).

10456

10457

* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10468
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10469
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10470

* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10472
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10473
10474
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10475
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10476
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10477
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10478
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10479
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10480
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10481
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10482
10483
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10484
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10485
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10486
10487
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10488
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10489
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10490
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10491
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10492
access.

10533
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10534
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10535
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10536
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10537
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10538
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10539
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10540
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

Surprises
10658
*********
10659
10660
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10661
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10662
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10663
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10664
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10665
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10666
10667
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10668
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10669
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10670
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10671
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10672
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10673
development.
10674
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10675
10676
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10677
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10678
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10679
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10680
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10681
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10682
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10683
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

Improvements
10686
************
10687
10688
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10689
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10690
10691
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10692
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10693
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10694
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10695
does exist.
10696
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10697
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10698
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10699
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10700
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10701
10702
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10703
(Aaron Bentley)
10704
10705
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10706
(Aaron Bentley)
10707
10708
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10709
(Robert Collins)
10710
10711
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10712
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10713
(Aaron Bentley)
10714
10715
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10716
(Aaron Bentley)
10717
10718
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10719
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10720
10721
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10722
directory. (Martin Pool)
10723
10724
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10725
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10726
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10727
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10728
10729
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10730
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10731
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10732
in docs/configuration.txt.
10733
10734
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10735
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10736
bind location.
10737
10738
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10739
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10740
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10741
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10742
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10743
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10744
10745
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10746
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10747
10748
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10749
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10750
10751
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

10754
Internals
10755
*********
10756
10757
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10758
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10759
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10760
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10761
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10762
(John Arbash Meinel)
10763
10764
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10765
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10766
(Aaron Bentley)
10767
10768
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10769
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10770
(John Arbash Meinel)
10771
10772
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10773
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10774
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10775
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10776
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10777
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10778
10779
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10780
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10781
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10782
10783
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10784
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10785
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10786
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10787
repository.
10788
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10789
10790
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10791
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10792
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10793
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10794
10795
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10796
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10797
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10798
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10799
10800
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10801
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10802
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10803
10804
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10805
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10806
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10807
10808
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10809
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10810
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10811
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10812
10813
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10814
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10815
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10816
10817
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10818
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10819
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10820
10821
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10822
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10823
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10824
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10825
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10826
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10827
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10828
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10829
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

10839
10840
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10841
(Aaron Bentley)
10842
10843
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10844
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply

10914
10915
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10916
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10917
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10918
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10919
10920
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10921
(Marius Kruger)
10922
10923
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10924
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10925
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)

10931
(Aaron Bentley)
10932
10933
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10934
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10935
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10936
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10937
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10938
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10939
10940
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10941
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10942
should enable you to do::
10943
10944
[/home/user/project]
10945
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10946
push_location:policy = appendpath
10947
10948
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10949
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10950
(James Henstridge)
10951
10952
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags

preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10982
10983

11006
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

11084
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.

11118
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11119
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11120
11121
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11122
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11123
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11124
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
11125
11126
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
11127
11128
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11129
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11130
11131
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11132
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11133
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11134

11138
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11139
11140
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11141
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11142
them as full references rather than integers.
11143
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11144
11145
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11146
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11147
11148
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)

* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11157

(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11160
11161
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11162

* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11166
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11167
11168
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11169
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11170
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11171

11200
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11201
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11202
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11203
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11204
11205

11206
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11207
11208
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11209
11210
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11211
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11212
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11213
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11214
11215
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11216
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11217
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11218

11233
11234
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11235
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
11236
(John Arbash Meinel)
11237
11238

11240
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
11241

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11249
11250
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11251
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
11252
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11253

11254
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11255
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11256
11257
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This

* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
11281

11282
11283
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11284
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11285
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when

11343
11344
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11345
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11346
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11347
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11348
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11349
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s

11360
11361
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11362
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11363
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11364
(Robert Collins)
11365
11366
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand

11368
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

11450
11451

of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11462

* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11467
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11468
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11469
11470
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11471
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11472
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11473
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11474
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11475
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11476
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11477
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11478
caller to repeat their request.
11479
(John Arbash Meinel)
11480
11481
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11482
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11483
11484
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11485
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11486
11487
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11488
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11489
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11490
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11491
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11492
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11493
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11494
11495
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11496
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11497
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11498
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11499
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11500
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11501
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11502
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11503
(Robert Collins)
11504
11505
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11506
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
11507
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11508
11509
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
11510
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11511
11512
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11513
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11514
11515
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11522
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11523
11524
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11525
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11526
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11527
11528
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11529

11530
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

************
11539
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11540
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11541
11542
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11543
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11544
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11545
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11546
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11547
11548
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11549
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11550
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11551
11552
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11553
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11554
11555
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11556
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

*********
11561
11562
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11563
11564
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11565
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11566
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11567
11568
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11569
11570
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11571
11572
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11573
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11574
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11575
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11576
11577
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11578
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11579
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11580
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11581
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11582
11583
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11584
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11585
11586
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11587
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11588
11589
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11590
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11591
11592
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11593
in handling of revision properties.
11594
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11595
11596
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11597
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)

Internals
11600
*********
11601
11602
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11603
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11604
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11605
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11606
(John Arbash Meinel)
11607
11608
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11609
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11610
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
11618
*********
11619
11620
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11621
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11622
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11623
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11624
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11625
a more conservative list than the old default.
11626
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11627
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11628
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11629
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11630
11631
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11632
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
11636
************
11637
11638
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11639
revno:N:branch. For example,
11640
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11641
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11642
11643
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11644
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11645
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11646
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11647
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11648
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11649
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11650
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11651
#42517, #42514)
11652
11653
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11654
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11655
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11656
(Malone #3507)
11657
11658
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11659
(Alexander Belchenko)
11660
11661
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11662
11663
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11664
(Robert Collins).
11665
11666
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11667
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11668
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11669
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11670
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11671
(John Arbash Meinel)
11672
11673
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11674
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11675
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11676
grained analysis of performance.
11677
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11678
11679
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11680
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11681
11682
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11683
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11684
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11685
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11686
file. (Robert Collins).
11687
11688
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11689
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11690
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11691
11692
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11693
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11694
Matthieu Moy)
11695
11696
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11697
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11698
11699
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11700
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11701
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11702
the same way you would apply another branch.
11703
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11704
11705
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11706
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11707
11708
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11709
(Michael Ellerman)
11710
11711
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11712
(Aaron Bentley)
11713
11714
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11715
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11716
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11717
11718
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11719
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11720
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11721
11722
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11723
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11724
11725
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11726
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11727
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11728
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11729
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11730
11731
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11732
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11733
11734
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11735
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11736
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11737
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11738
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11739
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11740
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11741
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11742
11743
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11744
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11745
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

11753
11754
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11755
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11756
11757
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11758
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11759
11760
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11761
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11762
11763
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11764
11765
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11766
(John Arbash Meinel)
11767
11768
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11769
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11770
11771
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11772
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11773
and y.
11774
11775
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11776
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11777
11778
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11779
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11780
11781
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11782
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11783
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11784
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11785

11797

* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11799
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11800
11801
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11802
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11803
11804
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11805
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11806
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11807
11808
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11809
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11810
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11811
11812
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11813
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11814
11815
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11816
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)

* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11819
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11820
11821
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11822
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11823
11824
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11825
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11826
11827
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11828

11829
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11830

11842
11843
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11844
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11845
11846
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11847
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11848
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11849
11850
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11851
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11852
11853
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11854
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11855
(Martin Pool)
11856
11857
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11858
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11859
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11860
11861
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11862
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11863
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11864
11865
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11866
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11867
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11868
11869
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

Notes When Upgrading
11954
********************
11955
11956
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11957
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11958
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11959
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11960
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11961
will keep the same format.
11962
11963
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11964
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11965
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11966
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11967
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11968
11969
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11970
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11971
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11972
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11973
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11974
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11975
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11976
11977
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11978
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11979
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11980
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11981
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11982
11983
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11984
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11985
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11986
arrangement.
11987

11989
Improvements
11990
************
11991
11992
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11993
convention. Paths now take the form::
11994
11995
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11996
or
11997
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11998
11999
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12000
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12001
12002
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12003
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12004
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12005
12006
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12007
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12008
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12009
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12010
12011
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12012
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12013
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12014
12015
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12016
12017
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12018
12019
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12020
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12021
commits::
12022
12023
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12024
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12025
| xargs bzr re-sign
12026
12027
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12028
12029
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12030
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12031
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12032
(Robert Collins)
12033
12034
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12035
12036
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12037
12038
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12039
'.moved'.
12040
12041
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12042
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12043
12044
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12045
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12046
Daniel Silverstone)
12047
12048
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12049
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12050
Martin Pool)
12051
12052
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12053
12054
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12055
12056
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12057
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12058
12059
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12060
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12061
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12062
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12063
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12064
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12065
12066
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12067
12068
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12069
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12070
(Robert Collins)
12071
12072
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12073
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12074
12075
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12076
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12077
12078
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12079
12080
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12081
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12082
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12083
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12084
specification by Martin Pool.
12085
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12086
12087
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12088
Belchenko)
12089
12090
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12091
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12092
12093
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12094
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12095
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12096
12097
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12098
12099
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12100
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12101

Changes
12104

12105
12106
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12107
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12108
12109
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12110
12111
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12112
12113
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12114
(Olaf Conradi)
12115
12116
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12117
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12118
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12119
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12120

Internals
12122
*********
12123
12124
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12125
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12126
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12127
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12128
12129
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12130
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12131
tried. (Martin Pool)
12132
12133
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12134
(Martin Pool)
12135
12136
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12137
12138
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12139
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12140
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12141
12142
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12143
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12144
12145
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12146
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12147
paths. (Robert Collins)
12148
12149
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12150
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12151
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12152
12153
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12154
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12155
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12156
12157
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12158
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12159
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12160
12161
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12162
(Olaf Conradi)
12163
12164
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12165
(Olaf Conradi)
12166
12167
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12168
12169
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12170
12171
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12172
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12173
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12174
(Robert Collins)
12175
12176
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12177
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12178
12179
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12180
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12181
check. (Robert Collins)
12182
12183
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12184
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12185
12186
Testing
12187
*******
12188
12189
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12190
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12191
12192
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12193
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12194
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12195
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12196
12197
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12198
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12199
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12200
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12201
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12202
12203
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12204
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12205
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12206
12207
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12208
12209
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12210
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
12218
*******
12219
12220
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12221
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12222
12223
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12224
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12225
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12226
(Johan Rydberg)
12227
12228
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12229
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12230
12231
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12232
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12233
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12234
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12235
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12236
12237
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12238
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12239
used. (Robert Collins)
12240
12241
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12242
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12243
(James Henstridge)
12244
12245
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12246
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12247
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12248
12249
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12250
ignore list.
12251
12252
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12253
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

Improvements
12256
************
12257
12258
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12259
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12260
12261
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12262
12263
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12264
12265
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12266
tree. (Robert Collins)
12267
12268
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12269
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12270
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12271
(Robert Collins)
12272
12273
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12274
that they be kept.
12275
12276
* Tweaks to short log printing
12277
12278
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12279
(Aaron Bentley)
12280
12281
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12282
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12283
12284
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12285
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12286
12287
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12288
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12289
12290
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12291
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12292
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12293
12294
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12295
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12296
12297
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12298
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12299
requests.
12300
12301
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12302
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12303
12304
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12305
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12306
12307
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12308
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12309
12310
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12311
(Denys Duchier)
12312
12313
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12314
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12315
12316
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12317
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12318
12319
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12320
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12387
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12388
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12389
12390
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12391
12392
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12393
(John Arbash Meinel)
12394
12395
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12396
12397
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12398
If adding a new test script please add that to
12399
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12400
12401
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12402
imported. (Martin Pool)
12403
12404
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12405
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12406
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12407
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12408
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12409
(Robert Collins)
12410
12411
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12412
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12413
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12414
12415
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12416
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12417
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12418
12419
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12420
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12421
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12422
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12423
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12424
(Robert Collins).
12425
12426
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12427
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
12428
(Robert Collins).

12432
12433
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12434
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12435
12436
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12437
function. (Robert Collins)
12438
12439
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12440
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12441
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12442
12443
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12444
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12445
(Robert Collins)
12446
12447
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12448
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12449
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12450
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12451
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12452
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12453
version. (Robert Collins)
12454
12455
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12456
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12457
12458
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12459
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12460
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12461
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12462
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12463
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12464
12465
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12466
(Robert Collins)
12467
12468
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
12469
12470
add()
12471
commit()
12472
move()
12473
rename_one()
12474
unknowns()
12475
12476
(Robert Collins)
12477
12478
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12479
12480
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12481
12482
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12483
Pool)
12484
12485
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
12486
query method. (Robert Collins)
12487
12488
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
12489
(Denys Duchier)
12490
12491
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12492
(Michael Ellerman)
12493
12494
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12495
(Michael Ellerman)
12496
12497
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12498
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12499
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12500
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12501
12502
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12503
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12504
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12505
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12506
12507
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12508
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

Improvements
12516
************
12517
12518
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12519
(John A Meinel)
12520
12521
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12522
conflicts.
12523
(Aaron Bentley)
12524
12525
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12526
a separator, not ':'.
12527
(Aaron Bentley)
12528
12529
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12530
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12531
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12532
12533
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12534
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12535
(Robert Collins)
12536
12537
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12538
has been added that suppresses all output.
12539
12540
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12541
Adams.
12542
12543
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12544
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12545
12546
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12547
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12548
12549
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12550
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12551
12552
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12553
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12554
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12555
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12556
12557
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12558
12559
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12560
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12561
12562
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12563
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12564
12565
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12566
output directory, if one was supplied.
12567
12568
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12569
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12570
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12571
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12572
12573
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12574
12575
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12576
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12577
12578
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12579
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12580
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12581
12582
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12583
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12584
12585
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12586
(Aaron Bentley)
12587
12588
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
12589

Testing
12593
*******
12594
12595
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12596
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12597
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12598
12599
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12600
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12601
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12602
12603
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12604
is given. (Martin Pool)
12605
12606
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12607
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12608
file. (Robert Collins)
12609
12610
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
12611
(Martin Pool)
12612
12613
Internals
12614
*********
12615
12616
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12617
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12618
representation. (Martin Pool).
12619
12620
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12621
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12622
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12623
12624
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12625
(Robert Collins)
12626
12627
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12628
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12629
Magnus Therning.
12630
12631
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12632
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12633
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12634
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12635
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12636
12637
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12638
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12639
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12640
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12641
python path. (Robert Collins)
12642
12643
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12644
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12645
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12646
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12647
12648
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12649
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12650
12651
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12652
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12653
(Robert Collins)
12654
12655
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12656
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12657
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12658
12659
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12660
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12661
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12662
12663
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12664
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12665
12666
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12667
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12668
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12669
(Robert Collins)
12670
12671
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12672
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12673
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12674
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12675
(Robert Collins)
12676
12677
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12678
(Robert Collins)
12679
12680
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12681
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12682
(Robert Collins)
12683
12684
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12685
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12686
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12687
12688
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12689
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12690
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12691
12692
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12693
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12694
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12695
12696
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12697
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12698
12699
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12700
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12701
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12702
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12703
caller. (Robert Collins)
12704
12705
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12706
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12707
(Robert Collins).
12708
12709
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12710
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12711
(Aaron Bentley)
12712
12713
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12714
12715
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12716
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

12756
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate

high-latency connections.

12780
12781
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its

12784
12785

Improvements
12800
************
12801
12802
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12803
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12804
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12805
12806
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12807
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12808
'bzr upgrade'.
12809
12810
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12811
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12812
12813
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12814

12815
12816
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12817
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12818
12819
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12820
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12821
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12822
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12823
12824
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12825
12826
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12827
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12828
Gustavo Niemeyer.
12829
12830
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12831
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12832
12833
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12834

12851
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12852
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12853
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12854
12855
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12856
12857
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12858
we call them revisions not patches.
12859
12860
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12861
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12862
12863
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12864
giving the revision *of that file*.
12865
12866
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12867
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12868
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.

************
12932
12933
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12934
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12935
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12936
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12937
Michael Ellerman.
12938
12939
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12940
(Nir Soffer)
12941
12942
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12943
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12944
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12945
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12946
for the operating system is still tried.
12947
12948
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12949
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12950
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

13076
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13077
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13078
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13079
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13080
13081
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13082
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13083
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13084
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13085
standard plugins directory.
13086
13087
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13088
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13089
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13090
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13091
13092
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13093

13094
13095
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13096
disk.
13097

* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13099
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13100
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13101
13102
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13103
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13104
13105
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13106
line options must come before the command name because they
13107
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13108
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13109
it.
13110
13111
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13112
13113

* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an

error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13133
13134
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13135
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13136
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13137
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13138
13139
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13140
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13141
with the ``--forward`` option.
13142

13184

13414
branch.

13421
* New global --profile option.
13422

13469
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
13470
diff, status, etc.
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.
