NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)

31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
37
38
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
39
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
40
(Aaron Bentley)
41
42
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
43
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
44
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
45
46
PERFORMANCE:
47
48
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
49
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
50
51
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
52
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
53
54
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
55
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
56
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
57
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
58
59
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
60
(Robert Collins)
61
62
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
63
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
64
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
65
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
66
67
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
68
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
69
70
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
71
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
72
73
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
74
the contents. (Robert Collins)
75
76
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
77
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
78
79
IMPROVEMENTS:
80
81
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
82
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
83
84
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
85
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
86
87
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
88
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
89
90
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
91
(Martin Pool, #63894)
92
93
DOCUMENTATION:
94
95
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
96
97
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
98
(Ian Clatworthy)
99
100
BUG FIXES:
101
102
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
103
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
104
105
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
106
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
107
108
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
109
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
110
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
111
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
112
113
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
114
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
115
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
116
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
117
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
118
119
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
120
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
121
paramiko.
122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
123
124
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
125
126
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
127
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
128
129
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
131
132
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
134
135
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
136
contains a symbolic link.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
138
139
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
140
(James Westby, #140615)
141
142
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
143
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
145
146
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
147
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
148
(Martin Pool, #144633)
149
150
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
152
153
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
154
will remain opened.
155
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
156
157
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
158
directory to detect leaking tests.
159
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
160
161
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
162
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
163
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
164
165
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
166
(Rob Weir, #141629)
167
168
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
169
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
170
171
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
172
Merwe)
173
174
API BREAKS:
175
176
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
177
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
178
179
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
180
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
181
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
182
183
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
184
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
185
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
186
187
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
188
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
189
190
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
191
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
192
193
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
194
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
195
(Martin Pool)
196
197
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
198
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
201
class that needs it.
202
(Martin Pool)
203
204
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
205
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
206
207
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
208
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
209
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
210
211
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
212
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
213
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
214
(Robert Collins)
215
216
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
217
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
218
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
219
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
220
(Robert Collins)
221
222
INTERNALS:
223
224
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
225
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
226
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
227
228
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
229
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
230
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
231
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
232
233
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
234
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
235
(Robert Collins)
236
237
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
238
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
239
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
240
241
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
242
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
243
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
244
245
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
246
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
247
248
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
249
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
250
to complete. (Robert Collins)
251
252
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
253
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
254
255
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
256
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
257
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
258
259
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
260
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
261
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
262
263
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
264
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
265
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
266
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
267
268
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
269
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
270
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
271
returned. (Robert Collins)
272
273
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
274
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
275
276
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
277
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
278
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
279
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
280
(Robert Collins)
281
282
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
283
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
284
285
TESTING:
286
287
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
288
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
289
290
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
291
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
292
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
293
makes this behavior available to other users.
294
(Martin Pool)

297
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
298
===================
299
300
BUG FIXES:
301
302
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
303
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
304
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
305
306
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
307
308
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
309
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
310
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
311
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
312
313
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
314
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
315
(Andrew Bennetts)
316
317
318
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
319
======================
320
321
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
322
in bzrlib/remote.py.
323
324
325
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
326
======================
327
328
CHANGES:
329
330
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
331
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
332
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
333
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
334
(Martin Pool)
335
336
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
337
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
338
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
339
(Ian Clatworthy)
340
341
FEATURES:
342
343
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
344
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
345
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
346
(Lukáš Lalinský)
347
348
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
349
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
350
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
351
352
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
353
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
354
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
355
356
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
357
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
358
359
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
360
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
361
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
362
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
363
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
364
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
365
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
366
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
367
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
368
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
369
370
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
371
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
372
373
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
374
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
375
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
376
377
BUG FIXES:
378
379
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
380
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
381
382
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
383
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
384
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
385
386
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
387
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
388
389
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
390
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
391
392
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
393
(Aaron Bentley)
394
395
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
396
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
397
398
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
399
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
400
401
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
402
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
403
404
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
405
(Blake Winton, #129299)
406
407
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
408
409
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
410
Watkins, #106726)
411
412
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
413
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
414
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
415
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
416
417
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
418
419
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
420
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
421
#133548)
422
423
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
424
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
425
426
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
427
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
428
#116143)
429
430
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
431
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
432
433
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
434
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
435
436
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
437
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
438
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
439
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
440
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
441
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
442
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
443
444
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
445
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
446
447
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
448
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
449
450
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
451
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
452
453
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
455
456
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
457
connections.
458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
459
460
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
461
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
462
463
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
464
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
465
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
466
467
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
468
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
469
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
470
471
IMPROVEMENTS:
472
473
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
474
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
475
476
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
477
(Aaron Bentley)
478
479
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
480
(Aaron Bentley)
481
482
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
483
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
484
485
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
486
487
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
488
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
489
490
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
491
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
492
493
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
494
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
495
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
496
space). (Robert Collins)
497
498
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
499
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
500
(Ian Clatworthy)
501
502
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
503
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
504
505
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
506
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
507
508
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
509
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
510
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
511
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
512
513
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
514
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
515
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
516
(Lukáš Lalinský)
517
518
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
519
(Ian Clatworthy)
520
521
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
522
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
523
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
524
525
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
526
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
527
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
528
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
529
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
530
531
API BREAKS:
532
533
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
534
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
535
536
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
537
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
538
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
539
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
540
affected. (Robert Collins)
541
542
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
543
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
544
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
545
(Robert Collins)
546
547
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
548
previous release. (Martin Pool)
549
550
TESTING:
551
552
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
553
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
554
555
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
556
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
557
558
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
559
previous release. (Martin Pool)
560
561
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
562
(Aaron Bentley)
563
564
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
565
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
566
567
INTERNALS:
568
569
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
570
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
571
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
572
its version information. (Robert Collins)
573
574
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
575
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
576
577
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
578
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
579
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
580
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
581
582
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
583
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
584
present. (Robert Collins)
585
586
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
587
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
588
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
589
API. (Robert Collins)
590
591
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
592
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
593
(Robert Collins)
594
595
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
596
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
597
598
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
599
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
600
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
601
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
602
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
603
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
604
605
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
606
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
607
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
608
609
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
610
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
611
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
612
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
613
protocol.
614
615
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
616
(Aaron Bentley)
617
618
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
619
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
620
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
621
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
622
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
623
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
624
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
625
626
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
627
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
628
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
629
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
630
631
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
632
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
633
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
634
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
635
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
636
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
637
638
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
639
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
640
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
641
642
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
643
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
644
645
646
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
647
===================
648
649
IMPROVEMENTS:
650
651
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
652
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
653
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
654
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
655
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
656
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
657
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
658
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
659
660
661
API CHANGES:
662
663
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
664
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
665
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
666
667
668
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
669
======================
670
671
BUGFIXES:
672
673
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
674
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
675
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
676
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
677
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
678
679
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
681
682
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
683
anymore.
684
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
685
686
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
687
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
688
(Vincent Ladeuil)
689
690
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
691
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
692
#111664)
693
694
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
695
(Lukáš Lalinský)
696
697
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
698
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
699
700
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
701
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
702
703
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
704
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
705
706
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
707
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
708
709
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
710
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
711
712
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
713
(Aaron Bentley)
714
715
IMPROVEMENTS:
716
717
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
718
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
719
720
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
721
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
722
723
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
724
the repository (Robert Collins)
725
726
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
727
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
728
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
729
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
730
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
731
732
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
733
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
734
735
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
736
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
737
(John Arbash Meinel)
738
739
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
740
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
741
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
742
about 10%).
743
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
744
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
745
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
746
(John Arbash Meinel)
747
748
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
749
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
750
(Robert Collins)
751
752
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
753
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
754
755
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
756
(Ian Clatworthy)
757
758
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
759
760
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
761
762
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
763
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
764
765
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
766
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
767
Meinel)
768
769
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
770
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
771
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
772
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
773
774
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
775
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
776
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
777
778
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
779
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
780
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
781
782
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
783
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
784
785
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
786
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
787
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
788
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
789
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
790
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
791
(Ian Clatworthy)
792
793
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
794
(Alexander Belchenko)
795
796
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
797
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
798
799
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
800
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
801
802
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
803
804
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
805
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
806
807
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
808
809
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
810
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
811
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
812
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
813
814
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
815
816
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
817
(Robert Collins)
818
819
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
820
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
821
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
822
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
823
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
824
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
825
826
INTERNALS:
827
828
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
829
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
830
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
831
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
832
833
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
834
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
835
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
836
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
837
tests have been refactored too.
838
(Vincent Ladeuil)
839
840
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
841
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
842
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
843
list, it will.
844
(Vincent Ladeuil)
845
846
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
847
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
848
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
849
850
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
851
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
852
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
853
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
854
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
855
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
856
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
857
858
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
859
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
860
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
861
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
862
(John Arbash Meinel)
863
864
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
865
functionality for testing.
866
867
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
868
869
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
870
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
871
872
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
873
874
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
875
(Robert Collins)
876
877
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
878
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
881
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
882
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
883
884
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
885
(Aaron Bentley)
886
887
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
888
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
889
890
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
891
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
892
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
893
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
894
895
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
896
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
897
898
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
899
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
900
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
901
902
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
903
(Marius Kruger)
904
905
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
906
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
907
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
908
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
909
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
910
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
911
912
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
913
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
914
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
915
many files. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
918
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
919
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
920
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
921
922
TESTING:
923
924
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
925
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
926
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
927
928
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
929
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
930
931
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
932
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
933
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
945
=======================
946
947
BUGFIXES:
948
949
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
950
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
951
952
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
953
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
954
(James Westby, #122656)
955
956
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
957
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
958
959
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
960
authentication header.
961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
962
963
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
964
965
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
966
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
967
968
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
969
970
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
972
973
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
974
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
976
977
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
978
individually and as part of revision ranges.
979
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
980
981
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
982
(Martin Pool, #109169)
983
984
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
986
987
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
988
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
989
990
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
991
992
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
993
994
IMPROVEMENTS:
995
996
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
997
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
998
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
999
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1000
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1001
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1002
1003
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1004
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1005
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1006
1007
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1008
(Elliot Murphy)
1009
1010
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1011
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1012
1013
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1014
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1015
1016
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1017
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1018
1019
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1020
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1021
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1022
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1023
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1024
1025
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1026
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1027
1028
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1029
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1030
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1031
1032
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1033
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1034
1035
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1036
1037
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1038
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1039
1040
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1041
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1042
(Robert Collins)
1043
1044
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1045
(Martin Pool)
1046
1047
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1048
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1049
1050
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1051
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1052
1053
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1054
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1055
1056
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1057
1058
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1059
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1060
1061
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1062
(Andrew Bennetts)
1063
1064
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1065
1066
* Testing cleanups -
1067
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1068
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1069
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1070
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1071
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1072
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1073
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1074
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1075
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1076
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1077
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1078
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1079
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1080
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1081
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1082
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1083
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1084
(Robert Collins)
1085
1086
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1089
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1090
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1093
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1094
1095
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1096
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1097
1098
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1099
1100
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1101
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1102
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1103
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1104
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1105
same location. (Robert Collins)
1106
1107
INTERNALS:
1108
1109
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1110
1111
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1112
1113
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1114
1115
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1116
(Martin Pool)
1117
1118
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1119
(Martin Pool)
1120
1121
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1122
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1123
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1124
1125
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1126
1127
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1128
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1129
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1130
1131
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1132
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1133
1134
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1135
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1136
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1137
1138
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1139
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1140
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1141
1142
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1143
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1144
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1145
1146
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1147
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1148
Martin Pool)
1149
1150
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1151
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1152
1153
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1154
(Alexander Belchenko)
1155
1156
TESTING:
1157
1158
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1159
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1160
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1161
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1162
1163
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1164
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1165
testing. (Robert Collins)
1166
1167
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1168
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1169
1170
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1171
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1172
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1173
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1174
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1175
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1176
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1177
1178
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1179
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1180
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1181
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1182
1183
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1184
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1185
1186
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1187
avoid useless cloning.

1206
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1207
1208
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1209
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1210
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1211
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1212
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1213
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1214
and unlock() like so::
1215
1216
work_tree.lock_read()
1217
try:
1218
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1219
finally:
1220
work_tree.unlock()
1221
1222
INTERNALS:
1223
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1224
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1225
object.
1226
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1227
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1228
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1229
1230
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1231
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1232
too. (Robert Collins)
1233
1234
IMPROVEMENTS:
1235
1236
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1237
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1238
Aaron Bentley)
1239
1240
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1241
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1242
1243
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1244
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1245
1246
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1247
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1248
understanding what changes have occurred
1249
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1250
1251
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1252
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1253
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1254
1255
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1256
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1257
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1258
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1259
1260
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1261
#56322)
1262
1263
BUGFIXES:
1264
1265
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1266
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1267
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1268
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1269
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1270
1271
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1272
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1273
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1274
1275
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1277
1278
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1279
into account.
1280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1281
1282
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1283
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1284
1285
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1286
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1287
1288
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1289
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1290
1291
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1292
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1293
1294
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1295
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1296
1297
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1298
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1299
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1302
====================
1303
1304
BUGFIXES:
1305
1306
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1307
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1308
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1309
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1311
1312
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1313
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1314
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1315
1316
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1317
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1318
1319
IMPROVEMENTS:
1320
1321
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1322
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1323
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1324
1325
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1326
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1327
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1328
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
1334
1335
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1336
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1337
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1338
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1339
1340
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1341
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1342
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1343
1344
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1345
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1346
1347
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1348
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1349
1350
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

1354
=======================
1355
1356
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1357
1358
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1359
it could be recovered again.
1360
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1361
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1362
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1363
but not delete it.
1364
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1365
files.
1366
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1367
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1368
1369
IMPROVEMENTS:
1370
1371
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1372
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1373
1374
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1375
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1376
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1377
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1378
1379
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1380
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1381
1382
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1383
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1384
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1385
1386
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1387
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1388
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1389
1390
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1391
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1392
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1393
1394
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1395
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1396
Robert Collins)
1397
1398
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1399
Pool)
1400
1401
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1402
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1403
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1404
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1405
1406
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1407
(Robert Collins)
1408
1409
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1410
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1411
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1412
(Robert Collins)
1413
1414
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1415
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1416
1417
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1418
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1419
1420
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1421
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1422
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1423
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1424
(Robert Collins)
1425
1426
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1427
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1428
1429
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1430
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1431
1432
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1433
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1434
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1435
1436
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1437
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1438
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1439
1440
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1441
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1442
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1443
1444
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1445
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1446
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1447
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1448
1449
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1450
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1451
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1452
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1453
1454
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1455
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1456
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1457
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1458
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1459
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1460
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1461
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1462
header(s).
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1464
1465
INTERNALS:
1466
1467
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1468
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1469
1470
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1471
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1472
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1473
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1474
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1475
1476
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1477
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1478
1479
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1480
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1481
1482
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1483
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
1485
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1486
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1487
1488
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1489
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1490
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1491
(Robert Collins).
1492
1493
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1494
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1495
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1496
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1497
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1498
(Robert Collins)
1499
1500
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1501
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1502
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1503
1504
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1505
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1506
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1507
1508
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1509
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1510
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1511
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1512
1513
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1514
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1515
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1516
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1517
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1518
1519
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1520
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1521
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1522
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1525
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1526
1527
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1528
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1529
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1530
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1531
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1532
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1533
1534
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1535
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1536
1537
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1538
help. (Robert Collins)
1539
1540
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1541
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1542
1543
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1544
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1545
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1546
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1547
(John Arbash Meinel)
1548
1549
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1550
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1551
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1552
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1553
useful. (Robert Collins)
1554
1555
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1556
(Andrew Bennetts)
1557
1558
BUGFIXES:
1559
1560
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1561
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1562
1563
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1564
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1565
1566
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1567
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1568
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1569
1570
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1571
(Aaron Bentley)
1572
1573
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1574
the file, and does it faster.
1575
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1576
1577
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1578
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1579
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1580
1581
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1582
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1583
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1584
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1585
1586
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1587
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1588
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1589
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1590
1591
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1592
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1593
1594
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1595
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1596
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1597
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1598
Arbash Meinel)
1599
1600
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1601
1602
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1603
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1604
1605
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1606
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1607
1608
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1609
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1610
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1611
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1612
security hole.
1613
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1614
1615
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1616
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1617
1618
TESTING:
1619
1620
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1621
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1622
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1625
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1626
1627
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1628
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1629
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1630
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1631
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1632
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1633
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1634
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1635
1636
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1637
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1638
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1639
1640
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1641
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1642
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1643
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1644
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1645
access.
1646
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1647
1648
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1649
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1650
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1651
1652
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1653
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
1672
1673
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1674
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1675
(Martin Pool)
1676
1677
IMPROVEMENTS:
1678
1679
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1680
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1681
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1682
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1683
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1684
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1685
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1686
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1687
path. (vila)
1688
1689
INTERNALS:
1690
1691
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1692
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1693
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1694
1695
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1696
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1697
(Martin Pool)
1698
1699
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1700
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1701
(John Arbash Meinel)
1702
1703
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1704
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1705
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1706
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1707
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1708
1709
BUGFIXES:
1710
1711
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1712
(vila, #92195)
1713
1714
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1715
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1716
1717
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1718
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1719
1720
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1721
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1722
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1723
1724
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1725
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1726
1727
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1728
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1729
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1730
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1731
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1732
1733
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1734
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1735
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1736
1737
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1741
=======================
1742
1743
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1744
1745
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1746
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1747
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1748
1749
IMPROVEMENTS:
1750
1751
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1752
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1753
1754
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1755
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1756
1757
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1758
1759
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1760
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1761
1762
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1763
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1764
1765
INTERNALS:
1766
1767
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.

(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1769
1770
BUGFIXES:
1771
1772
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1773
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1774
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1775
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1776
1777
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1778
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1779
1780
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1781
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1782
1783
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1784
(Marien Zwart)
1785
1786
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1791
=======================
1792
1793
SURPRISES:
1794
1795
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1796
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1797
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1798
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1799
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1800
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1801
1802
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1803
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1804
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1805
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1806
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1807
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1808
development.
1809
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1810
1811
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1812
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1813
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1814
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1815
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1816
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1817
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1818
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1819
1820
IMPROVEMENTS:
1821
1822
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1823
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1824
1825
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1826
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1827
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1828
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1829
does exist.
1830
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1831
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1832
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1833
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1834
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1835
1836
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1837
(Aaron Bentley)
1838
1839
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1840
(Aaron Bentley)
1841
1842
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1843
(Robert Collins)
1844
1845
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1846
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1847
(Aaron Bentley)
1848
1849
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1850
(Aaron Bentley)
1851
1852
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1853
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1854
1855
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1856
directory. (Martin Pool)
1857
1858
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1859
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1860
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1861
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1862
1863
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1864
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1865
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1866
in docs/configuration.txt.
1867
1868
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1869
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1870
bind location.
1871
1872
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1873
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1874
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1875
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1876
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1877
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1878
1879
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1880
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1881
1882
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1883
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1884
1885
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1886
(Aaron Bentley)
1887
1888
INTERNALS:
1889
1890
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1891
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1892
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1893
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1894
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1895
(John Arbash Meinel)
1896
1897
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1898
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1899
(Aaron Bentley)
1900
1901
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1902
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1903
(John Arbash Meinel)
1904
1905
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1906
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1907
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1908
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1909
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1910
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1911
1912
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1913
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1914
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1915
1916
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1917
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1918
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1919
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1920
repository.
1921
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1922
1923
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1924
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1925
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1926
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1927
1928
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1929
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1930
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1931
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1932
1933
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1934
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1935
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1936
1937
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1938
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1939
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1940
1941
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1942
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1943
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1944
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1945
1946
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1947
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1948
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1949
1950
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1951
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1952
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1953
1954
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1955
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1956
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1957
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1958
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1959
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1960
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1961
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1962
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1963

1964
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1965
1966
BUGFIXES:
1967
1968
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1969
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1970
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1971
1972
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1973
(Aaron Bentley)
1974
1975
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1976
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1977
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1978
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1979
1980
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1981
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1982
#83954).
1983
1984
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1985
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1986
1987
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1988
1989
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1990
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1991
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1992
1993
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1994
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1995
1996
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1997
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1998
1999
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2001
2002
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2003
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2004
2005
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2006
2007
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2008
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2009

TESTING:
2011
2012

2019
IMPROVEMENTS:
2020
2021
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2022
2023
BUG FIXES:
2024
2025
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2026
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2027
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2028
2029
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2030
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2031
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2034
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2035
=======================
2036
2037
IMPROVEMENTS:
2038
2039
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2040
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2041
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2042
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2043
2044
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2045
(Marius Kruger)
2046
2047
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2048
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2049
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2050
2051
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2052
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2053
2054
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2055
(Aaron Bentley)
2056
2057
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2058
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2059
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2060
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2061
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2062
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2063
2064
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2065
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2066
should enable you to do::
2067
2068
[/home/user/project]
2069
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2070
push_location:policy = appendpath
2071
2072
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2073
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2074
(James Henstridge)
2075
2076
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2077
for each file. For example::
2078
2079
$ bzr status --short
2080
A foo
2081
A bar
2082
D baz
2083
? wooley
2084
2085
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2086
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2087
2088
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2089
2090
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2091
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2092
2093
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2094
2095
INTERNALS:
2096
2097
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2098
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2099
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2100
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2101
2102
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2103
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2104
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2105
2106
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2107
2108
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2109
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2110
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2111
(Alexander Belchenko)
2112
2113
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2114
Pool)
2115
2116
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2117
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2118
2119
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2120
2121
BUG FIXES:
2122
2123
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2124
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2125
2126
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2127
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2128
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2129
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2130
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2131
2132
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2133
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2134
2135
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2136
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2137
2138
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2139
matcher.
2140
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2141
2142
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2143
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2144
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2145
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2146
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2147
2148
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2149
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2150
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2151
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2152
2153
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2154
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2155
2156
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2157
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2158
2159
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2160
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2175
2176
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2177
tree from a branch.
2178
(Daniel Silverstone)
2179
2180
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2181
operations are substantially faster.
2182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2183
2184
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2185
tree from some other url. For example:
2186
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2187
(Daniel Silverstone)
2188
2189
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2190
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2191
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2192
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2193
2194
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2195
(Andrew Bennetts)
2196
2197
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2198
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2199
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2200
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2201
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2202
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2203
2204
INTERNALS:
2205
2206
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2207
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2208
(Martin Pool)
2209
2210
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2211
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2212
(John Arbash Meinel)
2213
2214
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2215
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2216
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2217
(John Arbash Meinel)
2218
2219
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2220
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2221
2222
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2223
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2224
2225
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2226
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2227
Bennetts)
2228
2229
BUG FIXES:
2230
2231
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2232
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2233
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2234
2235
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2236
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2237
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2238
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2239
2240
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2241
2242
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2243
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2244
2245
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2246
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2247
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2249
2250
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2251
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2252
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2253
2254
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2255
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2256
them as full references rather than integers.
2257
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2258
2259
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2260
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2261
2262
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2263
2264
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2265
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2266
2267
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2268
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2269
2270
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2271
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2272
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2273
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2274
2275
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2276
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2277
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2278
2279
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2280
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2281
2282
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2283
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2284
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2285
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2286
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2287
2288
TESTING:
2289
2290
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2291
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
2294
====================
2295
2296
INTERNALS:
2297
2298
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2299
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2300
(John Arbash Meinel)
2301
2302
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2303
=======================
2304
2305
IMPROVEMENTS:
2306
2307
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2308
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2309
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2310
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2311
2312
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2313
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2316
2317
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2318
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2319
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2320
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2321
2322
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2323
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2324
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2325
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2326
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2327
2328
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2329
2330
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2331
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2332
2333
INTERNALS:
2334
2335
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2336
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2337
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2338
2339
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2340
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2341
(John Arbash Meinel)
2342
2343
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2344
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2345
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2346
2347
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2348
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2349
(Aaron Bentley)
2350
2351
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2352
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2353
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2354
2355
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2356
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2357
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2358
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2359
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2360
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2361
2362
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2363
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2364
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2365
(Robert Collins)
2366
2367
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2368
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2369
2370
BUG FIXES:
2371
2372
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2373
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2374
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2375
#63360, #66349)
2376
2377
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2378
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2379
2380
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2381
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2382
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2383
2384
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2385
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2386
2387
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2388
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2389
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2390
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2391
2392
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2393
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2394
2395
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2396
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2397
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2398
2399
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2400
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2401
2402
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2403
2404
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2405
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2406
#32054)
2407
2408
TESTING:
2409
2410
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2411
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2412
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2413
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2414
2415
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2416
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2417
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2418
2419
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

====================
2421
2422
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2423
2424
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2425
=======================
2426
2427
BUG FIXES:
2428
2429
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2430
2431
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2432
Arbash Meinel).
2433
2434
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2435
=======================
2436
2437
IMPROVEMENTS:
2438
2439
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2440
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2441
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2442
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2443
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2444
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2445
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2446
2447
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2448
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2449
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2450
2451
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2452
2453
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2454
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2455
2456
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2457
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2458
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2459
(Robert Collins)
2460
2461
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2462
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2463
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2464
(John Arbash Meinel)
2465
2466
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2467
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2468
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2469
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2470
Pool)
2471
2472
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2473
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2474
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2475
(John Arbash Meinel)
2476
2477
BUG FIXES:
2478
2479
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2480
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2481
2482
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2483
2484
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2485
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2486
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2487
2488
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2489
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2490
2491
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2492
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2493
2494
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2495
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2496
2497
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2498
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2499
2500
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2501
2502
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2503
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2504
2505
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2506
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2507
2508
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2509
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2510
2511
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2512
(John Arbash Meinel)
2513
2514
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2515
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2516
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2517
2518
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2519
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2520
2521
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2522
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2523
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2524
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2525
2526
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2527
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2528
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2529
2530
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2531
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2532
2533
PORTABILITY:
2534
2535
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2536
2537
INTERNALS:
2538
2539
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2540
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2541
(John Arbash Meinel)
2542
2543
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2544
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2545
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2546
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2547
2548
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2549
(Andrew Bennetts)
2550
2551
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2552
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2553
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2554
2555
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2556
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2557
2558
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2559
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2560
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2561
2562
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2563
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2564
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2565
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2566
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2567
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2568
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2569
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2570
caller to repeat their request.
2571
(John Arbash Meinel)
2572
2573
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2574
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2577
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2580
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2581
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2582
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2583
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2584
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2585
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2586
2587
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2588
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2589
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2590
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2591
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2592
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2593
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2594
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2595
(Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2598
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2599
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2600
2601
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2602
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2603
2604
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2605
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2606
2607
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2608
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2609
2610
TESTING:
2611
2612
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2613
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2614
2615
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2616
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2617
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2618
2619
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2620
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2621
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2622
2623
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2624
====================
2625
2626
IMPROVEMENTS:
2627
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2628
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2629
2630
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2631
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2632
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2633
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2634
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2635
2636
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2637
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2638
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2639
2640
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2641
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2642
2643
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2644
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2645
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2646
2647
BUG FIXES:
2648
2649
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2650
2651
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2652
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2653
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2654
2655
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2656
2657
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2658
2659
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2660
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2661
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2662
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2663
2664
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2665
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2666
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2667
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2668
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2669
2670
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2671
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2672
2673
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2674
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2675
2676
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2677
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2678
2679
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2680
in handling of revision properties.
2681
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2682
2683
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2684
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2685
2686
INTERNALS:
2687
2688
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2689
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2690
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2691
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2692
(John Arbash Meinel)
2693
2694
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2695
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2696
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2697
2698
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2699
=====================
2700
2701
SURPRISES:
2702
2703
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2704
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2705
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2706
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2707
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2708
a more conservative list than the old default.
2709
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2710
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2711
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2712
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2713
2714
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2715
to more locations than just branch locations.
2716
(Aaron Bentley)
2717
2718
IMPROVEMENTS:
2719
2720
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2721
revno:N:branch. For example,
2722
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2723
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2724
2725
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2726
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2727
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2728
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2729
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2730
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2731
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2732
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2733
#42517, #42514)
2734
2735
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2736
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2737
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2738
(Malone #3507)
2739
2740
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2741
(Alexander Belchenko)
2742
2743
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2744
2745
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2746
(Robert Collins).
2747
2748
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2749
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2750
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2751
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2752
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2753
(John Arbash Meinel)
2754
2755
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2756
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2757
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2758
grained analysis of performance.
2759
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2760
2761
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2762
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2763
2764
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2765
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2766
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2767
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2768
file. (Robert Collins).
2769
2770
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2771
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2772
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2773
2774
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2775
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2776
Matthieu Moy)
2777
2778
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2779
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2780
2781
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2782
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2783
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2784
the same way you would apply another branch.
2785
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2786
2787
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2788
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2789
2790
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2791
(Michael Ellerman)
2792
2793
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2794
(Aaron Bentley)
2795
2796
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2797
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2798
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2799
2800
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2801
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2802
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2803
2804
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2805
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2806
2807
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2808
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2809
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2810
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2811
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2812
2813
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2814
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2815
2816
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2817
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2818
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2819
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2820
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2821
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2822
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2823
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2824
2825
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2826
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2827
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2828
2829
BUG FIXES:
2830
2831
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2832
tests not to run.
2833
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2834
2835
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2836
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2837
2838
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2839
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2840
2841
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2842
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2843
2844
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2845
2846
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2847
(John Arbash Meinel)
2848
2849
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2850
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2851
2852
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2853
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2854
and y.
2855
2856
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2857
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2858
2859
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2860
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2861
2862
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2863
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2864
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2865
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2866
2867
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2868
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2869
2870
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2871
2872
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2873
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2874
2875
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2876
2877
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2878
2879
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2880
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2881
2882
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2883
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2884
2885
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2886
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2887
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2888
2889
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2890
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2891
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2892
2893
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2894
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2895
2896
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2897
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2898
2899
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2900
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2901
2902
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2903
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2904
2905
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2906
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2907
2908
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2909
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2910
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2911
2912
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2913
2914
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2915
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2916
2917
INTERNALS:
2918
2919
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2920
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2921
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2922
2923
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2924
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2925
2926
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2927
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2928
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2929
2930
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2931
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2932
2933
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2934
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2935
(Martin Pool)
2936
2937
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2938
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2939
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2940
2941
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2942
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2943
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2944
2945
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2946
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2947
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2948
2949
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2950
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2951
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2952
2953
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2954
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2955
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2956
2957
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2958
instead. (Robert Collins)
2959
2960
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2975
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2976
2977
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2978
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2979
2980
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2981
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

2992
2993
CHANGES:
2994
2995
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2996
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2997

2998
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2999

NEW FEATURES:
3001
3002
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

INTERNALS:
3007
3008
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3011
3012
TESTING:

3016
3017
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3018
===================
3019
3020
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3021
3022
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3023
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3024
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3025
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3026
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3027
will keep the same format.
3028
3029
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3030
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3031
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3032
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3033
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3034
3035
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3036
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3037
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3038
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3039
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3040
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3041
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3042
3043
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3044
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3045
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3046
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3047
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3048
3049
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3050
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3051
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3052
arrangement.
3053
3054
3055
IMPROVEMENTS:
3056
3057
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3058
convention. Paths now take the form::
3059
3060
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3061
or
3062
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3063
3064
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3065
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3066
3067
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3068
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3069
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3070
3071
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3072
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3073
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3074
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3075
3076
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3077
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3078
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3079
3080
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3081
3082
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3083
3084
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3085
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3086
commits::
3087
3088
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3089
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3090
| xargs bzr re-sign
3091
3092
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3093
3094
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3095
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3096
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3097
(Robert Collins)
3098
3099
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3100
3101
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3102
3103
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3104
'.moved'.
3105
3106
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3107
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3108
3109
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3110
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3111
Daniel Silverstone)
3112
3113
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3114
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3115
Martin Pool)
3116
3117
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3118
3119
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3120
3121
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3122
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3123
3124
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3125
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3126
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3127
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3128
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3129
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3130
3131
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3132
3133
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3134
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3135
(Robert Collins)
3136
3137
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3138
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3139
3140
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3141
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3142
3143
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3144
3145
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3146
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3147
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3148
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3149
specification by Martin Pool.
3150
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3151
3152
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3153
Belchenko)
3154
3155
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3156
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3157
3158
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3159
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3160
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3161
3162
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3163
3164
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3165
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3166
(Robert Collins)
3167
3168
CHANGES:
3169
3170
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3171
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3172
3173
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3174
3175
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3176
3177
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3178
(Olaf Conradi)
3179
3180
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3181
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3182
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3183
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3184
3185
INTERNALS:
3186
3187
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3188
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3189
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3190
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3191
3192
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3193
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3194
tried. (Martin Pool)
3195
3196
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3197
(Martin Pool)
3198
3199
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3200
3201
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3202
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3203
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3204
3205
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3206
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3207
3208
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3209
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3210
paths. (Robert Collins)
3211
3212
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3213
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3214
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3215
3216
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3217
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3218
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3221
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3222
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3223
3224
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3225
(Olaf Conradi)
3226
3227
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3228
(Olaf Conradi)
3229
3230
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3231
3232
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3233
3234
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3235
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3236
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3237
(Robert Collins)
3238
3239
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3240
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3241
3242
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3243
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3244
check. (Robert Collins)
3245
3246
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3247
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
TESTING:
3250
3251
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3252
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3253
3254
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3255
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3256
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3257
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3258
3259
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3260
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3261
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3262
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3263
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3266
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3267
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3268
3269
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3270
3271
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3272
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3273

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3275
==================
3276
3277
CHANGES:
3278
3279
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3280
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3281
3282
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3283
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3284
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3285
(Johan Rydberg)
3286
3287
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3288
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3289
3290
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3291
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3292
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3293
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3294
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3295
3296
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3297
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3298
used. (Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3301
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3302
(James Henstridge)
3303
3304
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3305
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3306
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3307
3308
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3309
ignore list.
3310
3311
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3312
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3313
3314
IMPROVEMENTS:
3315
3316
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3317
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3318
3319
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3320
3321
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3322
3323
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3324
tree. (Robert Collins)
3325
3326
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3327
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3328
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3329
(Robert Collins)
3330
3331
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3332
that they be kept.
3333
3334
* Tweaks to short log printing
3335
3336
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3337
(Aaron Bentley)
3338
3339
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3340
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3341
3342
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3343
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3344
3345
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3346
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3347
3348
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3349
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3350
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3351
3352
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3353
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3354
3355
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3356
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3357
requests.
3358
3359
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3360
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3361
3362
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3363
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3364
3365
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3366
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3367
3368
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3369
(Denys Duchier)
3370
3371
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3372
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3373
3374
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3375
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3376
3377
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3378
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3379
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3380
3381
BUG FIXES:
3382
3383
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3384
3385
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3386
3387
* Error when run with -OO
3388
3389
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3390
(Martin Pool)
3391
3392
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3393
3394
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3395
3396
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3397
ignored by diff and status
3398
3399
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3400
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3401
3402
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3403
3404
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3405
3406
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3407
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3408
3409
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3410
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3411
3412
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3413
(Harald Meland)
3414
3415
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3416
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3417
3418
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3419
3420
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3421
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3422
3423
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3424
(Martin Pool)
3425
3426
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3427
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3428
3429
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3430
3431
TESTING:
3432
3433
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3434
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3435
3436
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3437
3438
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3439
3440
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3441
3442
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3443
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3444
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3445
3446
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3447
3448
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3449
(John Arbash Meinel)
3450
3451
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3452
3453
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3454
If adding a new test script please add that to
3455
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3458
imported. (Martin Pool)
3459
3460
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3461
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3462
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3463
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3464
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3465
(Robert Collins)
3466
3467
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3468
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3469
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3470
3471
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3472
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3473
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3474
3475
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3476
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3477
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3478
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3479
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3480
(Robert Collins).
3481
3482
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3483
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3484
(Robert Collins).
3485
3486
INTERNALS:
3487
3488
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3489
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3490
3491
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3492
function. (Robert Collins)
3493
3494
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3495
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3496
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3497
3498
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3499
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3500
(Robert Collins)
3501
3502
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3503
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3504
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3505
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3506
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3507
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3508
version. (Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3511
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3512
3513
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3514
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3515
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3516
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3517
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3518
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3519
3520
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3521
(Robert Collins)
3522
3523
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3524
3525
add()
3526
commit()
3527
move()
3528
rename_one()
3529
unknowns()
3530
3531
(Robert Collins)
3532
3533
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3534
3535
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3536
3537
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3538
Pool)
3539
3540
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3541
query method. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3544
(Denys Duchier)
3545
3546
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3547
(Michael Ellerman)
3548
3549
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3550
(Michael Ellerman)
3551
3552
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3553
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3554
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3555
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3556
3557
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3558
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3559
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3560
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3561
3562
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3563
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3564
3565
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3566
==================
3567
3568
IMPROVEMENTS:
3569
3570
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3571
(John A Meinel)
3572
3573
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3574
conflicts.
3575
(Aaron Bentley)
3576
3577
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3578
a separator, not ':'.
3579
(Aaron Bentley)
3580
3581
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3582
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3583
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3584
3585
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3586
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3587
(Robert Collins)
3588
3589
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3590
has been added that suppresses all output.
3591
3592
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3593
Adams.
3594
3595
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3596
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3597
3598
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3599
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3600
3601
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3602
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3603
3604
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3605
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3606
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3607
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3608
3609
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3610
3611
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3612
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3613
3614
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3615
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3616
3617
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3618
output directory, if one was supplied.
3619
3620
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3621
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3622
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3623
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3624
3625
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3628
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3629
3630
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3631
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3632
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3633
3634
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3635
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3636
3637
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3638
(Aaron Bentley)
3639
3640
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3641
3642
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3643
3644
TESTING:
3645
3646
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3647
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3648
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3649
3650
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3651
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3652
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3653
3654
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3655
is given. (Martin Pool)
3656
3657
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3658
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3659
file. (Robert Collins)
3660
3661
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3662
(Martin Pool)
3663
3664
INTERNALS:
3665
3666
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3667
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3668
representation. (Martin Pool).
3669
3670
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3671
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3672
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3673
3674
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3675
(Robert Collins)
3676
3677
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3678
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3679
Magnus Therning.
3680
3681
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3682
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3683
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3684
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3685
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3686
3687
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3688
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3689
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3690
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3691
python path. (Robert Collins)
3692
3693
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3694
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3695
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3696
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3697
3698
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3699
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3700
3701
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3702
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3703
(Robert Collins)
3704
3705
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3706
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3707
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3708
3709
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3710
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3711
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3712
3713
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3714
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3715
3716
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3717
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3718
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3719
(Robert Collins)
3720
3721
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3722
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3723
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3724
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3725
(Robert Collins)
3726
3727
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3728
(Robert Collins)
3729
3730
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3731
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3732
(Robert Collins)
3733
3734
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3735
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3736
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3737
3738
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3739
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3740
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3741
3742
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3743
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3744
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3745
3746
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3747
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3748
3749
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3750
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3751
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3752
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3753
caller. (Robert Collins)
3754
3755
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3756
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3757
(Robert Collins).
3758
3759
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3760
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3761
(Aaron Bentley)
3762
3763
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3764
3765
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3766
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3767
3768
BUG FIXES:
3769
3770
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3771
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3772
3773
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3774
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3777
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3778
====================
3779
3780
BUG FIXES:
3781
3782
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3783
allow directories to be listed.
3784
3785
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3786
upgrading branch format.
3787
3788
PERFORMANCE:
3789
3790
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3791
3792
3793
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3794
==================
3795
3796
NOTES:
3797
3798
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3799
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3800
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3801
high-latency connections.
3802
3803
BUG FIXES:
3804
3805
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3806
Rob Weir.
3807
3808
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3809
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3810
3811
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3812
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3813
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3814
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3815
3816
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3817
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3818
3819
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3820
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3821
3822
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3823
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3824
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3825
3826
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3827
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3828
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3829
Robert Collins
3830
3831
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3832
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3833
3834
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3835
different partial views of history.
3836
3837
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3838
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3839
3840
IMPROVEMENTS:
3841
3842
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3843
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3844
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3845
3846
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3847
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3848
'bzr upgrade'.
3849
3850
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3851
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3852
3853
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3854
Niemeyer.
3855
3856
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3857
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3858
3859
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3860
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3861
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3862
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3863
3864
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3865
3866
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3867
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3868
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3869
3870
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3871
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3872
3873
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3874
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3875
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3876
3877
3878
INTERNALS:
3879
3880
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3881
for your viewing pleasure.
3882
3883
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3884
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3885
3886
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3887
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3888
handling of such circumstances.
3889
3890
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3891
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3892
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3893
3894
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3895
3896
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3897
we call them revisions not patches.
3898
3899
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3900
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3901
3902
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3903
giving the revision *of that file*.
3904
3905
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3906
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3907
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3908
3909
TESTING:
3910
3911
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3912
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3913
3914
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3915
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3916
3917
3918
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3919
====================
3920
3921
BUG FIXES:
3922
3923
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3924
3925
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3926
(Robert Collins).
3927
3928
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3929
3930
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3931
3932
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3933
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3934
3935
IMPROVEMENTS:
3936
3937
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3938
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3939
3940
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3941
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3942
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3943
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3944
Robey Pointer
3945
3946
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3947
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3948
3949
INTERNALS:
3950
3951
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3952
3953
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3954
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3955
3956
3957
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3958
====================
3959
3960
IMPROVEMENTS:
3961
3962
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3963
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3964
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3965
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3966
Michael Ellerman.
3967
3968
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3969
(Nir Soffer)
3970
3971
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3972
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3973
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3974
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3975
for the operating system is still tried.
3976
3977
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3978
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3979
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3980
3981
3982
INTERNALS:
3983
3984
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3985
3986
BUG FIXES:
3987
3988
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3989
3990
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3991
branch.
3992
3993
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3994
read.
3995
3996
3997
PORTABILITY:
3998
3999
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4000
4001
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

4003
4004
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4005
====================
4006
4007
NEW FEATURES:
4008
4009
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4010
help with intelligent shell completion.
4011
4012
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4013
4014
4015
ENHANCEMENTS:
4016
4017
* Much better merge support.
4018
4019
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4020
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4021
like emacs smerge.
4022
4023
4024
BUG FIXES:
4025
4026
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4027
mention revisions that are not present.
4028
4029
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4030
4031
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4032
4033
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4034
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4035
4036
4037
CHANGES:
4038
4039
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4040
4041
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4042
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4043
--help themselves.
4044
4045
4046
LIBRARY:
4047
4048
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4049
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4050
libraries.
4051
4052
4053
4054
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4055
====================
4056
4057
NEW FEATURES:
4058
4059
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4060
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4061
4062
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4063
4064
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4065
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4066
4067
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4068
FOO.
4069
4070
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4071
4072
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4073
the Unix command.
4074
4075
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4076
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4077
4078
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4079
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4080
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4081
4082
4083
ENHANCEMENTS:
4084
4085
* Faster working tree operations.
4086
4087
4088
CHANGES:
4089
4090
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4091
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4092
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4093
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4094
4095
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4096
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4097
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4098
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4099
standard plugins directory.
4100
4101
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4102
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4103
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4104
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4105
4106
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4107
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4108
4109
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4110
disk.
4111
4112
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4113
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4114
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4115
4116
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4117
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4118
4119
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4120
line options must come before the command name because they
4121
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4122
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4123
it.
4124
4125
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4126
4127
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4128
is available with ``--short``.
4129
4130
4131
BUG FIXES:
4132
4133
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4134

4165
29
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4166
30
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4167
31
4168
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
32
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4169
33
4170
34
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4171
35
either read or write mode.
4208
72
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4209
73
their contents.
4210
74
4211
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4212
from a branch.
