:Codename: One and counting

:2.3.4: 2011-07-14
68
69
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
70
2.3 releases.
71
72
This mainly fixes bug #786980 which blocked the SRU process for Ubuntu Natty.

89
90
* Tweak an RPC implementation for ``Repository.get_parent_map``, it was
91
doing an inefficient ``small_set.difference_update(large_set)`` when we
92
can do ``small_set = small_set.difference(large_set)``. This speeds up
93
discovery time by about 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)

Bug Fixes
96
*********
97
98
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect

100
101
* Accept some differences for ``bound_location`` from the config files that
102
were leading to a 'ReadOnlyError: A write attempt was made in a read only
103
transaction' error. (Vincent Ladeuil, #786980)
104
105
* Don't fail with traceback if `bzr serve` is running as a service on Windows,
106
and there is no USERNAME, nor BZR_EMAIL or other whoami-related environment
107
variables set. (Alexander Belchenko, Bug #660174)

113
114
* Updated the "Using stacked branches" section of the user guide to
115
describe committing to stacked branches and expanded its discussion of
116
pushing a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)

136
137
* Remove the deprecation decorators for ``failUnlessExists`` and
138
``failIfExists``. The deprecation "will" occur in 2.4, not
139
before. Providing the wrappers is enough as far as 2.3 is concerned.

bzr 2.3.3
143
#########
144
145
:2.3.3: 2011-05-13
146
147
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
148
2.3 releases.
149
150
This fixed a bug in the test suite triggered by python-2.7 deprecating some
151
tests helpers.
152
153
Testing
154
*******
155
156
* Stop using `failIf`, `failUnless`, `failIfEqual`, etc, that give
157
`PendingDeprecationWarnings` on Python2.7.

#########
163
164
:2.3.2: 2011-05-12
165
166
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
167
2.3 releases.
168
169
This was never released due to bug #760435 interrupting the release process by
170
breaking the test suite under python-2.7 on natty.

Improvements
183
************
184
185
* Getting all entries from ``CHKInventory.iter_entries_by_dir()`` has been
186
sped up dramatically for large trees. Iterating by dir is not the best
187
way to load data from a CHK inventory, so it preloads all the items in
188
the correct order. (With the gcc-tree, this changes it (re)reading 8GB
189
of CHK data, down to just 150MB.) This has noticeable affects for things
190
like building checkouts, etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #737234)
191
192
Bug Fixes
193
*********
194
195
* Bazaar now infers the default user email address on Unix from the local
196
account name plus the contents of ``/etc/mailname`` if that file exists.
197
In particular, this means that committing as root through etckeeper will
198
normally not require running ``bzr whoami`` first.
199
(Martin Pool, #616878)
200
201
* ``bzr merge --preview --pull`` should respect the ``--preview`` option
202
first, and not actually change the branch tip revision.
203
(John Arbash Meinel, Dennis Duchier, #760152)
204
205
* ``bzr push`` into a repository (that doesn't have a branch), will no
206
longer copy all revisions in the repository. Only the ones in the
207
ancestry of the source branch, like it does in all other cases.
208
(John Arbash Meinel, #465517)
209
210
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
211
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
212
(Martin Pool, #733136)
213
214
* Fix "Unable to obtain lock" error when pushing to a bound branch if tags
215
had changed. Bazaar was attempting to open and lock the master branch
216
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)
217
218
* Standalone bzr.exe installation on Windows: user can put additional python
219
libraries into ``site-packages`` subdirectory of the installation directory,
220
this might be required for "installing" extra dependencies for some plugins.
221
(Alexander Belchenko, #743256)
222
223
* When reporting a crash without apport, don't print the full list of
224
plugins because it's often too long.

Testing
234
*******
235
236
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
237
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
238
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
239
has been added in the interim
240
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed
241
in python > 2.7.1). (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)

252
*********
253
254
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
255

256
257
* Correctly resolve text conflicts for files in subdirs.
258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #715058)
259
260
* Fix "AssertionError: repository.user_url ... does not match URL from
261
server response" when reusing a smart transport.
262
(Andrew Bennetts, #726584)
263
264
* Restore proper logging of bytes transferred. We accidentally reset the
265
counter when commands finished before we logged the total transferred.

bzr 2.3.0
269
#########
270
271
:2.3.0: 2011-02-03
272
273
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we
274
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it
275
until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1
276
and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned
277
to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.)
278
279
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number
280
of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have
281
been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related
282
branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better
283
conflict resolution.
284
285
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
286
known fixed bugs are included here.
287
288
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

#########
292
293
:2.3.b5: 2011-01-13
294
295
This is the fifth and **last** beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
296
release in February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause
297
some incompatibilities with plugins.
298
299
2.3b5 includes bug fixes for committing to stacked branches, smoother upgrades
300
of multiple branches, compatibility with python-2.7, full test suite passing
301
on Ubuntu Natty and windows, less round-trips for several smart server
302
operations, better support text conflicts resolve actions and some more.
303
304
All known fixed bugs in other series (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) are also included here.

*****************************

310
311
Improvements
312
************
313
314
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
315
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
316
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
317
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
318
319
* ``ControlDir.sprout`` no longer opens the target repository more than
320
once. This avoids some unnecessary IO, and removes a network roundtrip
321
when doing ``bzr branch`` to a smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts)
322
323
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
324
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
325
326
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
327
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
328
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
329
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
330
331
* ``bzr tags``'s "sort" argument now allows registering custom sort
332
methods using the ``bzrlib.tag.tag_sort_methods`` registry.
333
(Jelmer Vernooij, #701244)
334
335
* ``bt.test_http`` was breaking ``os.environ`` by erasing the values saved by
336
``TestCase`` leading to ``bt.test_import_tariff`` failures.
337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
338
339
* ``upgrade`` now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is
340
specified. It also supports new options: ``--dry-run`` for showing what
341
will happen and ``--clean`` to remove the backup directory on successful
342
completion. (Ian Clatworthy, Matthew Fuller, #89830, #374734, #422450)
343
344
Bug Fixes
345
*********
346
347
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
348
or undesirable results.
349
350
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
351
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
352
353
* ``bzr break-lock`` on a corrupted lock file works correctly, rather than
354
raising a PermissionDenied error. We were accidentally holding open the
355
file we were trying to delete. (John Arbash Meinel, #659978)
356
357
* ``bzr update`` in a checkout of a readonly branch works again, without
358
trying to set the tags in the master branch. This had been broken by the
359
bug fix for bug #603395. (John Arbash Meinel, #701212)
360
361
* Per-transport tests now prefer to use ``Transport.get_bytes()`` rather
362
than ``Transport.get().read()``. The SFTP code uses an async message to
363
close the file handle if you let the handle die from refcounting, while
364
it uses a synchronous message if you close it directly. This should help
365
prevent random test suite failures from race conditions.
366
(John Arbash Meinel, #681047)
367
368
* Stop using ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile``. It is incompatible with
369
python-2.7 and was only used for Knit format repositories, which haven't
370
been recommended since 2007. The file itself will be removed in the next
371
release. (John Arbash Meinel)
372
373
* The BZR_COLUMNS environment variable can be set to 0 to indicate no
374
limitation on the width of the terminal. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #675652)
375
376
* Treat WSAECONNABORTED the same as WSAECONNRESET for the purposes of
377
considering a smart data stream as being interrupted. This fixes a
378
failure in the windows test suite, that was trying to ensure we cleanly
379
handled a server disconnect. (John Arbash Meinel, #581311, #686587)
380
381
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
382
the directory properly rather than crashing.
383
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
384
385
* You are now able to commit directly to a stacked branch. Any needed
386
parent inventories will be filled in as part of the commit process.
387
(John Arbash Meinel, #375013)
388
389
Documentation
390
*************
391
392
* Better document the rules to update the bzr freshmeat page when
393
doing a release. (Vincent Ladeuil, #690515)
394
395
API Changes
396
***********
397
398
* ``Branch.sprout``, ``BranchFormat.initalize`` and
399
``ControlDir.create_branch`` now take an optional ``repository`` keyword
400
argument, and ``BranchFormat.open`` now takes an optional
401
``found_repository`` keyword argument. These provide the repository
402
object for new branch object to use (for cases when the caller has
403
already opened that repository). Implementations of these APIs will
404
need to be updated to accept these arguments. (Andrew Bennetts)
405
406
* ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile`` is now deprecated and will be removed in
407
the bzr-2.4 series. Code that was using it can just use the python
408
stdlib ``gzip.GzipFile``. (John Arbash Meinel)
409
410
411
Testing
412
*******
413
414
* ``bzrlib.tests`` defines ``isolated_environ`` with the definitions of all
415
the environment variables the tests should care about. It also defines
416
``override_os_environ`` and ``restore_os_environ`` to properly implement
417
isolation from ``os.environ`` for tests. ``bzrlib.tests`` now defines a
418
``DocTestSuite`` class using this facility for all ``bzrlib``
419
doctests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #321320)
420
421
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
422
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
423
424
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
426
427
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
428
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
429
430
* ``TestCase._captureVar`` and ``TestCase._old_env`` have been deleted due to
431
bug #690563. Test writers are encouraged to use ``TestCase.overrideEnv``
432
instead. (Vincent Ladeuil)
433
434
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
435
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)

:2.3.b4: 2010-12-03
441
442
This is the fourth beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0 release in
443
February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
444
incompatibilities with plugins.
445
446
2.3b4 includes bug fixes for the ``config`` command and conflict
447
resolution. More changes were made for the test scripts handling to make it
448
easier to add reproducing recipes to bugs.
449
450
It also includes bug fixes from the 2.2.2 release as well as the bug fixes
451
in the upcoming 2.0.7, 2.1.4 and 2.2.3 releases. This means that all known
452
fixed bugs at the time of this release are included.

************
462
463
* Bazaar now caches a branch's tags while that branch is read-locked.
464
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
465
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
466
467
* ``bzr config <option>`` will now display only the value itself so scripts
468
can use it to query the currently active configuration. Displaying several
469
options matching a given regular expression is now controlled via the
470
``--all`` option. (Vincent Ladeuil, bug #670251)

492
interactions with emacs (which tries to establish the status of the file
493
during the commit which breaks on windows). (Vincent Ladeuil, #673637)
494
495

496
is involved in a text conflict (but the conflict is still not
497
resolved). (Vincent Ladeuil, #646961)

(Martin Pool, #637830)
530
531
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
532
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
533
written. (Martin [gz])
534

536
environment variables while respecting the isolation rules. Get rid of
537
TestCase._restoreEnvironment which is now useless.
538
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)

566
567
* New shortcut URL schemes ``ubuntu:`` and ``debianlp:`` access source
568

* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
582
583
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
584
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
585
586
* Correctly add directory contents when the name was previously added as a
587
normal file, rather than throwing ``AttributeError: children`` during
588
smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
589
590
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
591
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
592
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
593
the base directory for the other paths. (Vincent Ladeuil, #670851)

* Correctly set the Content-Type header when HTTP POSTing to comply
596

608
609
* ``NotBranchError`` no longer allows errors from calling
610
``bzrdir.open_repository()`` to propagate. This is unhelpful at best,
611
and at worst can trigger infinite loops in callers. (Andrew Bennetts)
612
613
* The ``branch.tags.merge_to(target_branch)`` API used by plugins such as
614
``bzr-builddeb`` now propagates changes to the master branch of the
615
target branch (if there is one). This makes it consistent with the

704
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
705
706
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
707
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
708
hook.
709
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)

``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option controls the ``bzr``
760

836
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
837
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
838
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
839
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
840
841
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
842
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
843
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
844
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
845
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
846
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
847
through the 2.3 series.
848

It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of

as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
903
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
904
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
905
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
906
(John Arbash Meinel)
907
908
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
909
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
910
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
911
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
912
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
913
914
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
915
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
916
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
917
918
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
919
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
920
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
921
922
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text when writing to pack
923
repositories.
924
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
925
71
926
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
72
927
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
73
928
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
75
930
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
76
931
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)

:Codename: Monkey Magic
161
:2.2b4: 2004-07-09
162
163
164
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
165
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
166
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
167
stable and compatible plugin versions.
168
169
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
170
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
171
appropriately.
172
173
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
174
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
175
bugfixes over 2.2b3.
176
177
Compatibility Breaks
178
********************
179
180
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
181
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
182
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
183
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
184
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
185
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
186
187
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
188
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
189
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
190
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
191
end.
192
193
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
194
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
195
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

Bug Fixes
207
*********
208
209
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
210
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
211
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
212
213
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
214
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
215
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
216
217
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
218
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
219
220
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
221
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
222
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
223
224
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
225
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
226
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
227
228
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
229
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
230
231
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
232
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
233
234
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
235
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
236
237
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
238
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
239
240
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
241
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
242
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
243
244
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
245
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
246
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
247
248
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
249
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
250
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
251
(Robert Collins, #177500)
252
253
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
254
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
255
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
256
257
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
258
259
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
260
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
261
262
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
263
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
264
265
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
266
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
267
(Martin Pool)
268
269
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
270
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
271
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
272
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
273
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
274
275
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
276
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
277
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
278
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
279
280
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
281
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
282
283
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
284
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
285
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
286

Improvements
289
************
290
291
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
292
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
293
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
294
295
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
296
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
297
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
298
(Robert Collins, #201613)
299
300
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
301
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
302
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
303
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
304
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
305
306
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
307
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
308
(Martin Pool, #340394)
309
310
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
311
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
312
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
313
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).

API Changes
329
***********
330
331
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
332
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
333
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
334
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
335
336
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
337
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
338
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
339
(Robert Collins)
340
341
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
342
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
343
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
344
345
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
346
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
347
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
348
(Parth Malwankar)
349
350
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
351
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
352
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
353
354
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
355
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
356
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
357
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
358
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
359
360
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
361
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
362
values). (Andrew Bennetts)

365
*********
366
367
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
368

369
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
370
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
371
(Robert Collins)
372
373
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
374
375
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
376
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
377
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
378
379
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
380
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.

:2.2b3: 2010-05-28
396
397
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
398
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
399
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
400
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
401
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
402
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
403
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
404
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
405
support.
406
407
Compatibility Breaks
408
********************
409
410
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
411
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
412
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
413
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
414
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
415
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
416
(Robert Collins)
417
418
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
419
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
420
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
421
422
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
423
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
424
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
425
426
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
427

439
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
440
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
441

replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
460
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
461
462
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to

494
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've

terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
513
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
514

* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
532
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
533
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
534
535
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
536
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
537
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
538
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
539
540
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
541
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
542
to support this efficiently.
543
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
544
545
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
546
more comprehensible.
547
(Martin Pool, #491763)
548
549
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
550
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
551
552
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
553
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
554
555
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
556
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
557
messages.
558
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
559
560
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
561
(Robert Collins, #558343)
562
563
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
564
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
565
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
566
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)

Improvements
569
************
570
571
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
572
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
573
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
574
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
575
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
576
(case-sensitive) as false.
577
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
578
579
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
580
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
581
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
582
583
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
584
be interpreted as a boolean.
585
(Vincent Ladeuil)
586
587
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
588
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
589
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
590
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
591
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])

Documentation
594
*************
595
596
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
597
to make the tests conditional.
598
(Vincent Ladeuil)
599
600
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
601
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
602
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
603
604
API Changes
605
***********
606
607
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
608
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
609
(Andrew Bennetts)
610
611
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
612
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
613
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
614
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
615
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
616
implementations.
617
(Martin Pool)
618
619
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
620
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
621
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
622
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
623
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
624
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
625
626
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
627
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
628
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
629
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
630
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
631
``refresh_data`` during a write group.

Internals
635
*********
636
637
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
638
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
639
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
640
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
641
642
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
643
(Robert Collins)
644
645
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
646
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
647
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
648
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
649
at worst.
650
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
651
652
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
653
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
654
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
655
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
656
657
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
658
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
659
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #66923)
660
661
Testing
662
*******
663
664
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
665
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
666
(Robert Collins)
667
668
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
669
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
670
671
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
672
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
674
675
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
676
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.

#########
681
682
:2.2b2: 2010-04-16
683
684
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
685
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
686
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
687
of these would be welcome.

New Features
691
************
692

* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
694
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
695
696
Bug Fixes
697
*********
698
699
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
700
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
701
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
702
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
704
705
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
706
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
707
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
708
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
709
710
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
711
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
712
713
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
714
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
715
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
716
717
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
718
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
719
720
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
721
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
722
723
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
724
(Martin Pool)
725
726
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
727
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
728
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
729
730
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
731
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
732
which is not installed any more" error.
733
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
734
735
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
736
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
737
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
738
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
739
(Andrew Bennetts)
740
741
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
742
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
743
-rX..Y.
744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
745
746
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.

Improvements
750
************
751
752
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
753
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
754
(Robert Collins, #530265)
755
756
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
757
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
758
(Andrew Bennetts)
759
760
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
761
(Andrew Bennetts)
762
763
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
764
(Andrew Bennetts)
765
766
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
767
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
768
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
769
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
770
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
771
772
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
773
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
774
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
775
776
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
777
less.)
778
(Martin Pool, #553017)
779
780
API Changes
781
***********
782
783
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
784
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
785
(Andrew Bennetts)
786
787
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
788
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
789
790
Internals
791
*********
792
793
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
794
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
795
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
796
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.

bzr 2.2b1
800
#########
801
802
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
803
804
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
805
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
806
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
807
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
808
809
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
810
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
811
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
812
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
813
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
814
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
815
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
816
through the 2.2 series.
817
818
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
819
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
820
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
821
822
Compatibility Breaks
823
********************
824
825
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
826
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
827
828
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
829
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
830
(Martin Pool)
831
832
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
833
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
834
835
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
836
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
837
838
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
839
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
840
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
841
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
842
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
843
(Vincent Ladeuil)
844
845
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
846
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
847
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
848
849
New Features
850
************
851
852
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
853
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
854
855
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
856
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
857
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
858
859
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
860
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
861
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
862
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
863
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
864
865
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
866
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
867
#392248)
868
869
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
870
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
872
873
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
874
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
875
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
876
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
877
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
878
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
879
880
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
881
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
882
(Jelmer Vernooij)
883
884
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
885
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
886
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
887
(Vincent Ladeuil)
888
889
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
890
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)

Bug Fixes
893
*********
894
895
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
896
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
897
898
* Allow additional arguments to
899
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
900
901
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
902
(Michal Junák, #511987)
903
904
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
905
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
906
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
907
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
908
909
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
910
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
911
912
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
913
(Martin Pool, #331095)
914
915
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
916
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
917
918
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
919
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
920
921
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
922
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
923
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
924
925
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
926
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
927
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
928
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
929
(Robert Collins, #396261)
930
931
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
932
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
934
935
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
936
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
937
938
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
939
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
941
942
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
943
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
944
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
945
946
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
947
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
948
``add``.
949
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
950
951
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
952
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
953
954
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
955
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
956
(Martin Pool, #528722)
957
958
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
959
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
960
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
961
962
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
964
965
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
966
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
967
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
968
969
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
970
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
971
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
972
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
973
``sock.sendall``).
974
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
975
976
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
977
deletion is involved.
978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
979
980
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
981
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
982
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
983
984
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
985
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
986
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
987
988
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
989
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
990
991
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
992
the debugger won't kill the session.
993
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
994
995
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.

1013
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1014
1015
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1016
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1017
1018
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1019
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1020
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1021
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1022
1023
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1024
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1025
to be done separately.

1049
1050
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1051
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1052
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1053
1054
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1055
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1056
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1057
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1058
(Robert Collins)
1059

1061

1083
1084
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1085
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1086
dependency regressions.
1087
(Martin Pool)

* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1090
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)

1092
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1093

1094
1095
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1096
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1097
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1098
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1099
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1100
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1192
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1193
1194
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1195
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1196
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1197
Python.
1198
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1199

1201
versions before 1.6.
1202
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1203
1204
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1205
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1206
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1207
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.

1215
1216
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1217
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1218

Bug Fixes
1241
*********
1242
1243
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1244
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1245
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1246
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1247
1248
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1249
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1250
1251
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1252
1253
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1255
1256
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1257
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1258
1259
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1260
1261
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1262
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1263
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1264
1265
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1266
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1267
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1268
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1269
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1270
1271
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1272
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1273
1274
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1275
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.

:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
1302
1303
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1304
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1305
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1306
1307
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1308
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1309
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1310
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1311
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1312
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.

* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1330
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1331
1332
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1333
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1334
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1335
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1336
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1337
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1338
1339
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1340
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1341
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1362
1363
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1364
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1365
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1366
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1367
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1368
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1369
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1370
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)

1378
1379
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1380
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1381
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1382
in ``do_merge``.

1401
1402
API Changes
1403
***********
1404
1405
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1406
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1407
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1408
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1409
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1410
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

1420
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1421
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1422
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1423
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1424
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1425
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1426
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1427
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1428
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

1434
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1435
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1436
1437
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1438
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1439
particular files.
1440
1441
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1442
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1443
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1444
(Andrew Bennetts)
1445
1446
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1447
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1448
1449
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1450
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1451
1452
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1453
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1454
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1455
1456
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1457
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1458
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1459
Martin Pool, #45719)
1460
1461
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1462
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1463
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1464

* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1466
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1467
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1468
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1469
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1470
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1471
1472
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1473
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1474
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1475
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.

*********
1480
1481
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1482
user-specified commit message editor.
1483
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1484
1485
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1486
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1487
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1488
1489
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1490
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1491
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1492
1493
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1494
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1495
1496
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1497
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1498
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1499
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1500
another process already removed the file.
1501
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1502
1503
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1504
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1505
1506
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1507
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1508
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1509
1510
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1511
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1512
1513
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1515
1516
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1518
1519
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1520
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1521
1522
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1523
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1524
depended on this behaviour.
1525
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1526
1527
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1528
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1529
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1530
should appear up-to-date.)

Improvements
1534
************
1535
1536
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1537
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1538
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1539
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1540
1541
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1542
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1543
1544
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1545
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1546
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1547
1548
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1549
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1550
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1551
1552
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1553
(__monty__, #257170)
1554
1555
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1556
Bazaar is doing network IO.

Documentation
1560
*************
1561
1562
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1563
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1564
1565
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1566
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1567
1568
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1569
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1570
1571
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1572
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1573
1574
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1575
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1576
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1577
1578
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1579
(Ian Clatworthy)
1580
1581
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1582
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.

API Changes
1586
***********
1587
1588
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1589
(Andrew Bennetts)
1590
1591
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1592
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1593
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1594
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1595
1596
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1597
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1598
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1599
1600
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1601
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1602
1603
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1604
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1605
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1606
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1607
1608
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1609
parameter.
1610
1611
Internals
1612
*********
1613
1614
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1615
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1616
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1617
1618
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1619
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1620
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1621
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1622
1623
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1624
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1625
1626
Testing
1627
*******
1628
1629
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1630
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1631
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1632
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1633
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1634
1635
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1636
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1637
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1638
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1639
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1640
suite. (Robert Collins)
1641
1642
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1643
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1644
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1645
1646
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1647
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1661
943
944
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
945
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
946
marked versioned too.
947
(Martin Pool, #192859)
948
949
* ``bzr clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file

due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
951
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
952

(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
957
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.

regular expression.
960
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1669
961
1670
962
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same

964
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)

* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
967
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
968
969
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
970
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)

985
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
986
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
987
988
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
989
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
990
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
991
992
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
993
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)

999
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1000

1001
1002
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
1003
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
1004
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
1005
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)

1008

1018
1019
* Fix a problem in bzr's ``Makefile`` that meant syntax errors in some
1020
parts of bzr's source code could cause ``make check-nodocs`` to
1021
incorrectly return an exit code of 0.
1022
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
1023
1024
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
1025
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
1026
1027
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
1028
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
1029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
1030
1031
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This

* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1689
1048

1690
1049
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via

* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
1103

(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1136
1137
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
1138
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
1139
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to

*********
1723
1724
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1725
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1726
1727
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1728
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1729
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1730
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1731
another process already removed the file.
1732
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1733
1734
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1735
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1736
a lock.
1737
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1738
1739
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1740
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1741
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1742
repositories.
1743
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)

1745
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1746
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1747
1748
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1749
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1750
``UnboundLocalError``.
1751
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1752
1753
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1754
version number along with rest of the help text.
1755
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1756

1776
1777
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1778
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1779
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1780
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1781
1782
1783
Bug Fixes
1784
*********
1785
1786
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1787
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1788
1789
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1790
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1791
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1792
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1793
1794
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1795
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1796
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1797
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1798
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1799
1800
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1801
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1802
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1803
1804
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1805
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1806
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1807
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1808
1809
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1810
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1811
1812
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1813
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1814
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1815
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1816
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1817
1818
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1819
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1820
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1821
users, rather than something nicer.
1822
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1823
1824
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1825
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1826
1827
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1828
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1829
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1830
1831
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1832
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1833
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1834
1835
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1836
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1837
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1838
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1839
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1840
1841
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1842
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1843
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1844
1845
Testing
1846
*******
1847
1848
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1849
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1850
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1851
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1861
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1862
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1863
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1864
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1865
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
1869
********************
1870
1871
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1872
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1873
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1874
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1875
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1876
1877
New Features
1878
************
1879
1880
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1881
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1882
1883
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1884
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1885
1886
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1887
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1888
1889
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1890
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1891
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1892
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1893
lengths.
1894
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1895
1896
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1897
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1898
is installed.

*********
1904
1905
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1906
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1907
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1908
1909
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1910
and issues a warning.
1911
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1912
1913
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1914
1915
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1916
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1917
1918
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1919
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1920
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1921
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1922
1923
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1924
1925

* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1934
1935
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1936
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1937
1938
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1939
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1940
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1941
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1942
windows too.
1943
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1944
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1945
1946
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1947
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1948
1949
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1950
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1951
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1952
1953
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1954
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1955
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1956
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1957
1958
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1959
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1960
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1961
1962
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1963
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1964
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1965
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1966
1967
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1968
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1978
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1979
1980
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1981
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1982
(John Arbash Meinel)
1983
1984
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1985
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1986
Hudson)
1987
1988
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1989
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1990
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1991
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1992
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

2013
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it

easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2015
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2016
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2017
2018
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2019
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2020
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2021
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel)
2023
2024
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2025
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2026
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2027
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2028
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2029
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2072
2073
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2074
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2075
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2076
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2077

Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2079
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2080

* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2101
2102
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2103
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2104
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2105
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2106
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2107
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2108
2109
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2110
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2111
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2112
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2113

* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2115
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2116

* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2118
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2119
2120
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2121
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2122
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2123
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2124
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2125
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2126
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)

2128
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.

* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before

2150
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)

2155
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2156
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2157
2158
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2159
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2162
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2163
2164
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2165
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2166
2167
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2168
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2169
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2170
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2171
2172
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2173
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2174
2175
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2176
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2177
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2178
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2179
2180
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2181
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2182
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2183
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

:Codename: a load off my mind
2191
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2192
2193
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2194
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2195
2196
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2197
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2198
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2199
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2200
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2201
many operations.
2202
2203
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2204
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2205
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2206
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2207
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2208
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)

Bug Fixes
2211
*********
2212
2213
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2214
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2215
2216
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2217
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2218
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2219
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2220
2221
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2222
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2223
2224
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2225
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2226
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2227
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2228
2229
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2230
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2231
2232
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2233
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2234
2235
Improvements
2236
************
2237
2238
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2239
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2240
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2241
(John Arbash Meinel)
2242
2243
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2244
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)

API Changes
2254
***********
2255
2256
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2257
2258
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2259
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2260
(Martin Pool)
2261
2262
Internals
2263
*********
2264
2265
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2266
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2267
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2268
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2269
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2270
(John Arbash Meinel)
2271
2272
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2273
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2274
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2275
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2276
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2277
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2278
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2279
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2280
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2281
2282
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2283
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2284
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2285
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2286
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2287
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2288
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2289
2290
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2291
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2292
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2293
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: While the cat is away
2347
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2348
2349
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2350
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2351
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2352
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2353
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2354
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2355
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2356
2357
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2358
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2359
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2360
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
2364
************
2365
2366
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2367
(Brian de Alwis)
2368
2369
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2370
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2371
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2372
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2373
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2374
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2375
2376
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2377
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2378
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2379
2380
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2381
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2382
method.
2383
2384
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2385
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2386
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2387
2388
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2389
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2390
(Arkanes)
2391
2392
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2393
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
2397
*********
2398
2399
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2400
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2401
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2402
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2403
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2404
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2405
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2406
2407
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2408
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2409
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2410
2411
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2412
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2413
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2415
2416
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2417
merges are present in the working tree.
2418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2419
2420
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2421
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2422
2423
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2424
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2425
2426
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2428
2429
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2430
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2432
2433
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2434
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2435
2436
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2437
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2438
2439
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2441
2442
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
2443
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.

2450
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2451
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2452
2453
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2454
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2455
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2456
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2457
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2458
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

2462
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2463
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
2464
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
2465
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
2480
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2481
2482
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2483
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2484
2485
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2486
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2487
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2488
2489
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2490
(Martin Pool)
2491
2492
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2493
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2494
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2495
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2496
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2497
been deprecated.

2507
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2508
(Andrew Bennetts)
2509
2510
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2511
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2512
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2513
(John Arbash Meinel)
2514
2515
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2516
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
2517

2518
2519
Testing
2520
*******
2521
2522
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2523
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2524
2525
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2526
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2529
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2530
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2531
2532
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2533
a long time.
2534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2535
2536
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2537
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2538
2539
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2540
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2541
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2542
2543
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2544
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2545
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2546
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2547
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2550
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2551
2552
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2553
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)

* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2595
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2596
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2597

* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2600
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2601
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2602
2603
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2604
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2605
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2606
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2607
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2608
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2609
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2610
2611
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2612
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2613
2614
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2615
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2616
to download the entire cix file many times.
2617
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)

2636
2637
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2638
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2639
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2640
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2641
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2642
existing projects.)
2643
2644
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2645
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2646
2647
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2648
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2649
months or until the following stable release.

2651
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2652
******************************
2653
2654
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2655
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2656
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2657
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

2667
2668
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2669
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.

2671
2672
Bug Fixes
2673
*********
2674
2675
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2676
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2677
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2678
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2679
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2680
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2681
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2682
2683
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2684
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2685
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2686
2687
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2688
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2689
2690
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2691
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2692
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2693
2694
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2695
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2696
2697
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2698
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2699
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2700
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2701
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2702
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2703
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2704
2705
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2706
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2707
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2708
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2709
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2710
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2711
2712
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2713
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2714
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2715
2716
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2717
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2718
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2719
2720
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2721
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2722
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2723
2724
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2725
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2726
2727
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2728
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2729
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

2738
2739
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2740
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2741
2742
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2743
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2744
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2745
2746
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2747
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2748
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
2761
********************
2762
2763
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2764
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2765
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2766
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2767
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2768
2769
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2770
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force

* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2784
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2785
2786
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2787
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2788
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2789
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2790
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2791
2792

2793
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
2794

2803
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2804
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2805
2806
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2807
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2808
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

2816
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2817
2818
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2819
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2820
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2821
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2822
``bazaar.conf``.
2823

2826
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)

* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2829
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2830
2831
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2832
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2833
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2834
2835
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2836
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2837
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2838
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2839
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
2840
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)

* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2924
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2925
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

2937
2938
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2939
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2940
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2941
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2942
2943
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK

inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2945
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)

* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2948

2949
2950
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2951
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository

2961
2962
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2963
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2964
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2965
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to

* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2969
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For

3055
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3056
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3057
3058
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3059
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3060
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3061
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3062
3063
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3064
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3065
3066
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3067
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3068
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3069
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3070
3071
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3072
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3073
3074
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3075
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3076
3077
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3078
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3079
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3080
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3081
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3082
3083
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3084
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3085
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3086
3087
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3088
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3089
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3090
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3091
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3092
3093
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3094
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3095
3096
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3097
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3098
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3099
3100
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3101
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3102
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3103
3104
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3105
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3106
3107
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3108
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3109
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3110
3111
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3112
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3113
3114
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3115
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3116
3117
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3118
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3119
3120
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3121
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3122
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3123
3124
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3125
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3126
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3127
3128
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3129
3130
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3131
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3132
3133
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3134
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3135
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3136
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3137
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3138
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3139
3140
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3141
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3142
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3143
3144
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3145
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3146
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3147
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3148
3149
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3150
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3151
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3152
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3153
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3154
3155
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3156
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3157
(Robert Collins, #187207)

************
3161
3162
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3163
(Marius Kruger)
3164
3165
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3166
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3167
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3168
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3169
3170
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3171
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

API Changes
3180
***********
3181
3182
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3183
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3184
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3185
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3186
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3187
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3188
3189
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3190
(Aaron Bentley)
3191
3192
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3193
(Martin Pool)
3194
3195
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3196
UIFactory.
3197
(Martin Pool)
3198
3199
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3200
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
Internals
3203
*********
3204
3205
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3206
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3207
paths. (Robert Collins)
3208
3209
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3210
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3211
3212
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3213
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3214
disk. (Robert Collins)
3215
3216
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3217
it. (Robert Collins)
3218
3219
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3220
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3221

3226
3227
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3228
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3229
3230
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3231
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3232
3233
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3234
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3235
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3236
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3237
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3238
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3260
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3261
stable".
3262
3263
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3264
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3265
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3266
annoying progress bar artifacts.

3268
3269
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3270
*********************************
3271
3272
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3273
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3274
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3275
3276
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3277
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3279
3280
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3281
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3282
3283
3284
Compatibility Breaks
3285
********************
3286
3287
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3288
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3289
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
3290

3293
New Features
3294
************
3295
3296
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3297
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3298
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3299
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3300
3301
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3302
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3303
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3304
3305
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3306
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3307
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3308
behavior.
3309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3310
3311
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3312
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3313
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3314
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3315
3316
3317
Bug Fixes
3318
*********
3319
3320
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3321
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3322
3323
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3324
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3325
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3326
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3327
3328
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3329
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3330
3331
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3332
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3333
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3334
3335
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3336
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3337
3338
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3339
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3340
3341
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3342
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3343
3344
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3345
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3346
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3347
3348
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3349
(Ian Clatworthy)
3350
3351
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3352
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
3353
3354
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3355
of a remote repository.
3356
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
3357
3358
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
3359
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
3360
(Andrew Bennetts)
3361
3362
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3363
transforms.
3364
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
3365
3366
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3367
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3368
3369
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3370
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3371
3372
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3373
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3374
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3375
3376
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3377
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3378
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3379
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3380
(John Arbash Meinel)
3381
3382
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3383
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3384
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3385
3386
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3387
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3388
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3389
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3390
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3391
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3392
3393
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3394
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3395
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3396
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3397
activity display respectively.
3398
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3399
3400
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3401
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3402
3403
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
3404
(Martin Pool)
3405
3406
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
3407

Internals
3411
*********
3412
3413
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3414
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3415
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3416
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3417
3418
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3419
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3420
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3421
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3422
(Robert Collins)
3423
3424
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3425
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3426
3427
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3428
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3429
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3430
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3431
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3432
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3433
3434
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3435
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3436
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3437
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3438
3439
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3440
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3441
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3442
(John Arbash Meinel)
3443
3444
3445
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3446
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3447
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3448
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3449
3450
3451
Improvements
3452
************
3453
3454
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3455
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3456
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3457
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3458
3459
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3460
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3461
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3462
3463
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3464
(Benoît PIERRE)
3465
3466
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3467
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3468
3469
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3470
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3471
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3472
3473
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3474
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3475
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3476
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3477
3478
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
3479
3480
3481
Documentation
3482
*************
3483
3484
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
3485
formatting in the user reference.
3486
(Martin Pool, #249908)
3487
3488
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
3489

API Changes
3492
***********
3493
3494
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
3495
(Martin Pool)
3496
3497
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
3498
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
3499
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3508
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3509
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3510
intermittently.
3511
3512
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3513
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3514
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3515
3516
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3517
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.

Bug Fixes
3520
*********
3521
3522
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3523
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3524
3525
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3526
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3527
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3528
3529
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3530
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3531
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3532
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3533
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3534
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3535
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3536
3537
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3538
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3539
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3540
3541
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3542
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3543
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3544
3545
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3546
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3547
that. (Robert Collins)
3548
3549
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3550
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3551
repository. (Robert Collins)
3552
3553
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3554
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3555
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3556
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
3597
************
3598
3599
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3600
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3601
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3602
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3603
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3604
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3605
in bzr 2.0.
3606
3607
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3608
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3609
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3610
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3611
3612
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3613
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3614
3615
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3616
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3617
3618
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3619
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3620
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3621
3622
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3623
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3624
3625
Improvements
3626
************
3627
3628
3629
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3630
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3631
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3632
3633
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3634
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3635
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3636
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3637
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3638
3639
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3640
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3641
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3642
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3643
3644
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3645
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3646
* diff (2X faster)
3647
* tags (70X faster)
3648
3649
(Ian Clatworthy)
3650
3651
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3652
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3653
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

3659
3660
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
3661
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
3662
3663
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3664
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
3665
3666
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3667
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3668
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3669
3670
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3671
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3672
3673
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3674
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3675
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3676
3677
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3678
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3679
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3680
(John Arbash Meinel)
3681
3682
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3683
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
3684
3685
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3686
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
3687
3688
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3689
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3690
3691
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3692
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3693
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3694
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3695
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3696
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3697
bug-free) methods.
3698
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3699
3700
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3701
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3702
3703
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3704
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3705
3706
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3707
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3708
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3709
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3710
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3711
3712
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3713
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3714
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3715
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

3882
3883
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3884
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3885
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3886
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3887
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3888
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3889
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3890
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3891
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3892
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3893
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3894
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3895
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3896
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)

* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3960
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3961
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3962
3963
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3964
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3965
3966
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3967
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3968
branches. (Robert Collins)
3969
3970
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3971
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3972
3973
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3974
3975
Testing
3976
*******
3977
3978
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3979
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4030
********************
4031
4032
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4033
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4034
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4035
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4036
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4037
4038
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4039
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4040
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4041
4042
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4043
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4044
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4045
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4046
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4047
4048
New Features
4049
************
4050
4051
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4052
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4053
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4054
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4055
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4056
(Ian Clatworthy)
4057
4058
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4059
(Aaron Bentley)
4060
4061
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4062
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4063
4064
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4065
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4066
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4067
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4068
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4069
4070
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4071
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4072
4073
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4074
(Aaron bentley)
4075
4076
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4077
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4078
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4079
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4080
(Ian Clatworthy)
4081
4082
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4083
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4084
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4085
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4086
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4087
4088
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4089
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4090
(Ian Clatworthy)
4091
4092
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4093
(Aaron Bentley)
4094
4095
Improvements
4096
************
4097
4098
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4099
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4100
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4101
4102
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4103
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4104
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4105
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4106
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4107
4108
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4109
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4110
(Ian Clatworthy)
4111
4112
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4113
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4114
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4115
4116
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4117
(Ian Clatworthy)
4118
4119
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4120
(Ian Clatworthy)
4121
4122
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4123
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4124
4125
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4126
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4127
4128
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4129
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4130
4131
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4132
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4133
#294479)
4134
4135
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4136
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4137
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4138
4139
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4140
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4141
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4142
(Ian Clatworthy)
4143
4144
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4145
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4146
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4147
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4148
4149
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4150
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4151
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4152
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4153
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4154
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4155
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4156
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4157
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4158
4159
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
4163
*********
4164
4165
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4166
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4167
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4168
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4169
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4170
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4171
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4172
4173
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4174
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4175
4176
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4177
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4178
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4179
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4180
4181
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4182
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4183
4184
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4185
4186
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4187
#313028)
4188
4189
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4190
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4191
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4192
4193
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4194
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4195
4196
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4197
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4198
4199
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4200
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4201
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4202
4203
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4204
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4205
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4206
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4207
4208
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4209
4210
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4212
4213
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4214
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4215
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4216
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4217
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4218
4219
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4220
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4221
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4222
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4223
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4224
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4225
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4226
4227
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4228
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4229
4230
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4231
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4232
(Andrea Bolognani)
4233
4234
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4235
(James Westby, #341558)
4236
4237
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4238
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4239
4240
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4241
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4242
4243
Documentation
4244
*************
4245
4246
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4247
4248
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4249
4250
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
4254
***********
4255
4256
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4257
(Martin Pool)
4258
4259
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4260
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4261
(Robert Collins)
4262
4263
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4264
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4265
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4266
4267
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4268
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4269
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4270
4271
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4272
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4273
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4274
4275
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4276
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4277
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4278
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4279
(Ian Clatworthy)
4280
4281
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4282
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4283
(Jean-Francois Roy)
4284
4285
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4286
(Martin Pool)
4287
4288
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4289
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4290
4291
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4292
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4293
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4294
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4295
4296
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4297
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4298
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4299
4300
Testing
4301
*******
4302
4303
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4304
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4305
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4306
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4307
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4308
4309
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4311
4312
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4313
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4314
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4315
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4316
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4317
4318
Internals
4319
*********
4320
4321
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4322
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4323
4324
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4325
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4326
4327
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4328
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4329
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4330
4331
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4332
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4333
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4334
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4335
4336
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4337
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4338
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4339
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4340
4341
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4342
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4343
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4344
4345
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4346
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4347
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4348
4349
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4350
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4351
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4352
4353
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4354
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4355
(Robert Collins)
4356
4357
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4358
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4359
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4360
4361
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4362
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4363
4364
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4365
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4366
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4367
4368
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4369
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4370
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4371
4372
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4373
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4374
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4375
4376
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4377
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4378
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4379
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4380
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4381
4382
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4383
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4384
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4385
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4386
4387
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4388
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4389
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4390
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4391
4392
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4393
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4394
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4395
4396
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4397
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4398
(Andrew Bennetts)
4399
4400
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4401
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4402
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4403
4404
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4405
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4406
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4407
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4408
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4409
4410
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4411
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4412
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4413
Vincent Ladeuil)
4414
4415
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4416
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4417
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4418
desired. (Robert Collins)
4419
4420
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4421
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4422
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4423
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4424
4425
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4426
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4427
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4444
*****************************
4445
4446
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4447
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4448
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4449
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4450
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4451
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4452
appeared now.

New Features
4501
************
4502
4503
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4504
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4505
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4506
4507
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4508
(Martin Pool)
4509
4510
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4511
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4512
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4513
(Ian Clatworthy)
4514
4515
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4516
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4517
4518
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4519
(John Arbash Meinel)
4520
4521
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4522
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4523
4524
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4525
4526
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4527
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4528
(Jonathan Lange)
4529
4530
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4531
(Jonathan Lange)
4532
4533
Improvements
4534
************
4535
4536
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4537
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4538
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4539
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4540
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4541
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4542
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4543
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4544
(Robert Collins)
4545
4546
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4547
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4550
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4551
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4552
4553
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4554
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4555
4556
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4557
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4558
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4559
(Ian Clatworthy)
4560
4561
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4562
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4563
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4564
4565
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4566
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4567
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4568
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4569
4570
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4571
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4572
4573
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4574
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4575
4576
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4577
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4578
4579
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4580
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4581
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4582
4583
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4584
4585
Bug Fixes
4586
*********
4587
4588
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4589
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4590
4591
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4592
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4593
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4594
4595
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4596
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4597
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4598
4599
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4600
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4601
4602
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4603
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4604
Vernooij, #315048)
4605
4606
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4607
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4608
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4609
4610
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4611
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4612
4613
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4614
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4615
4616
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4617
(James Westby, #174539)
4618
4619
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4620
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4621
4622
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4623
error branching from old repositories.
4624
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4625
4626
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4627
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4628
4629
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4630
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4631
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4632
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4633
4634
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4635
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4636
#334808)
4637
4638
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4639
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4640
4641
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4642
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4643
4644
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4645
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4646
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4647
4648
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4649
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4650
4651
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.

4659
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4660
(Ian Clatworthy)
4661
4662
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4663

4664
4665
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
4669
***********
4670
4671
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4672
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4673
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4674
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4675
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4676
4677
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4678
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4679
4680
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4681
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4682
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4683
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4684
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4685
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4686
4687
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4688
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4689
4690
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4691
"author" argument being deprecated.
4692
4693
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4694
4695
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4696
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4697
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4698
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4699
4700
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4701
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4702
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4703
4704
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4705
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4706
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4707
4708
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4709
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4710
4711
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4712
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4713
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4714
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4715
4716
Internals
4717
*********
4718
4719
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4720
free of virtual file system methods.
4721
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4722
4723
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4724
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4725
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4726
4727
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4728
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4729
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4730
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4731
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4732
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4733
4734
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4735
4736
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4737
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4738
4739
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4740
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4741
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4742
stream the operation.
4743
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4744
4745
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4746
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4747
4748
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4749
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4750
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4751
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4752
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4753
4754
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4755
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4756
4757
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4758
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4759
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4760
4761
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4762
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4763
(Robert Collins)
4764
4765
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4766
(Robert Collins)
4767
4768
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4769
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4770
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4771
4772
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4773
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4774
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4775
4776
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4777
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4778
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4779
4780
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4781
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4782
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4783
4784
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4785
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4786
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4787
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4788
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4789
4790
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4791
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4792
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4793
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4794
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4795
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4796
4797
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4798
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4799
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4800
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4801
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4802
4803
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4804
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4805
4806
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4807
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4808
4809
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4810
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4811
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4812
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4813
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4814
4815
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4816
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4828
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4829
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4830

Changes from RC1 to Final
4834
*************************

4837
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4838
4839
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4840
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
4843
********************
4844
4845
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4846
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4847
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4848
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4849
4850
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4851
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4852
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4853
(Ian Clatworthy)
4854
4855
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4856
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4857
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4858
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4859
4860
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4861
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4862
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.

* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4866
4867
New Features
4868
************
4869
4870
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4871
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4872
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4873
(Marius Kruger)
4874
4875
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4876
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4877
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4878
4879
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4880
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4881
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4882
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4883
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4884
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4885
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4886
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4887
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4888

Improvements
4891
************
4892
4893
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4894
(Daniel Watkins)
4895
4896
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4897
(Marius Kruger)
4898
4899
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4900
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4901
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4902
4903
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4904
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4905
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4906
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4907
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4908
4909
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4910
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4911
4912
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4913
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4914
level for better precision.
4915
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4916
4917
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4918
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4919
4920
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4921
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4922
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4923
4924
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4925
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4926
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4927
(Andrew Bennetts)
4928
4929
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4930
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4931
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4932

Bug Fixes
4934
*********
4935
4936
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4937
anymore.
4938
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4939
4940
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4941
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4942
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4943
4944
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4945
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4946
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4947
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4948
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4949
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4950
4951
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4952
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4953
4954
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4955
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4956
4957
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4958
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4959
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4960
4961
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4962
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4963
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4964
(Andrew Bennetts)
4965
4966
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4967
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4968
4969
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4970
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4971
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4972
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4973
4974
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4975
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4976
handled.
4977
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4978

4992
4993
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4994
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4995
4996
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4997

* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5000
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5001
5002
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5003
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5004
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5005
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5006
5007

5013
5014
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5015
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5016
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5017
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5018
compile buffers, are such an example).
5019
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5020

5022
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5023
(Ian Clatworthy)
5024
5025
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5026
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5027
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5028
(Ian Clatworthy)
5029
5030
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5031
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5032

* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log

5043
5044
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5045
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5046
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5047
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5048
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5049
5050
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5051
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5052
advice.
5053
5054
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5055
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5078
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5079
5080
New Features
5081
************
5082
5083
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5084
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5085
5086
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5087
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5088
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5089
implement other plugins.
5090
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5091
5092
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.

Improvements
5096
************
5097
5098
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5099
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5100
5101
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5102
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5103
5104
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5105
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5106
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5107
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5108
(Mark Hammond)
5109
5110
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5111
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5112
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5113
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5114
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5115
5116
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5117
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5118
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5119
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5120
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

5125
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5126
control directory. (#139691)

5128
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5129
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5130
5131
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5132
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5133
5134
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5135
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5136
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)

* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5156
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5157
5158
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5159
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5160
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5161
5162
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5163
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5164
in the appropriate sections.
5165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5166

5168
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5169
(John Arbash meinel)
5170
5171
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5172

5180
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5181

5182
work better with how it splits its requests.
5183

5186
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5187
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5188

5209
***********
5210
5211
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5212
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5213
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5214
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5215
5216
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5217
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5218
5219
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5220
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5221
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5222
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5223
5224
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5225
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5226
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5227
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5228
5229

5230
*******
5231
5232
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5233
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5234
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5235
5236
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5237
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5238
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5239
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5240
5241
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5242
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5243
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
5244

5247
*********
5248
5249
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
5250
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5251
(John Arbash Meinel)
5252
5253
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5254
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5255
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5256
(John Arbash Meinel)
5257
5258
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5259
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5260
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5261
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5262
5263
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5264
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5265
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5266
5267
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5268
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5269
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5270
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5271
5272
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5273
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5274
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5275
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5276
(John Arbash Meinel)
5277
5278
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5279
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5280
5281
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5282
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5283
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5284
5285
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5286
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5287
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5288
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5289
5290
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5291
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5292
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5293
(John Arbash Meinel)
5294
5295
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5296
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5297
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5298
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5299
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5300
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5301
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5302
5303
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5304
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

:Released: 2008-11-28
5340
5341
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5342
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5343
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5344
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5345
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features
5348
************
5349
5350
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5351
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5352
5353
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
5357
************
5358
5359
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5360
history just to set the last revision info.
5361
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5362
5363
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5364
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5365
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5366
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5367
5368
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5369
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5370
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5371
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5372
(John Arbash Meinel)
5373
5374
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5375
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5376
5377
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5378
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5379
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5380
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5381
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5382
5383
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5384
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5385
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5386
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
5387
5388
Bug Fixes
5389
*********
5390
5391
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5392
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5393
5394
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5395
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5396
5397
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5398
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5399
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5400
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5401
5402
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5403
starting with a dotted revno.
5404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5405
5406
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5407
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5408
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5409
5410
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5411
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5412
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5413
5414
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5415
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5416
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5417
5418
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5419
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5420
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5421
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5422
5423
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5424
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5425
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5426
5427
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
5428
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
5429
5430
API Changes
5431
***********
5432
5433
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5434
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5435
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5436
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5437
5438
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5439
have changed incompatibly.
5440
5441
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5442
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5443
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5444
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5445
don't need to change.
5446
5447
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5448
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
5449
5450
Testing
5451
*******
5452
5453
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
5454
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
5455
5456
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)

#######
5461
5462
:Released: 2008-11-07
5463
5464
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5465
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5466
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5467
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5468
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5469
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5470
5471
Bug Fixes
5472
*********
5473
5474
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
5475
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
5476
5477
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
5478
5479
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
5480
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

New Features
5490
************
5491
5492
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5493
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5494
5495
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5496
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5497
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5498
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5499
5500
Improvements
5501
************
5502
5503
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5504
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5505
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5506
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5507
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5508
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5509
5510
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5511
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5512
5513
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5514
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5515
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5516
5517
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5518
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5519
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5520
(Andrew Bennetts)
5521
5522
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5523
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5524
5525
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5526
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5527
5528
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5529
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5530
5531
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5532
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5533
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5534
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5535
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5536
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5537
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5538
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5539
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5540
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5541
5542
Bug Fixes
5543
*********
5544
5545
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5546
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5547
5548
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5549
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5550
5551
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5552
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5553
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5554
5555
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5556
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5557
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5558
5559
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5560
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5561
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5562
5563
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5564
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5565
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5566
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5567
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5568
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5569
5570
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5571
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5572
5573
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5574
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5575
5576
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5577
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5578
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5579
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5580
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5581
5582
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5583
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5584
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

*******
5635
5636
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5637
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5638
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5639
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5640
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5641
5642
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5643
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
5644
5645
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
5646
server. (Marius Kruger)
5647
5648
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5649
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5650
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5651
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5652
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running

from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

************
5666
5667
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5668
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5669
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5670
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5671
5672
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5673
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5674
(Daniel Watkins)
5675
5676
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5677
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5689
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5690
5691
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5692
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5693
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5694
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5695
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5696
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5697
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5698
operations. (Robert Collins)

5941
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.

5945
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5946
5947
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5948
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5949
(Marius Kruger)
5950
5951
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5952
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5953
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5954
(John Arbash Meinel)
5955
5956
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5957
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5958
5959
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5960
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5961
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5962
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5963
(John Arbash Meinel)
5964
5965
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5966
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5967
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5968
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5969
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5970
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5971
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5972
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5973
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5974
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

5982
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5983
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5984
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5985
5986
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5987
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5988
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5989
5990
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5991
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5992
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5993
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5994
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5995
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5996
5997
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5998
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5999
6000
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6001
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6002
6003
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6004
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6005
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6006
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6007
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6008
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
6009
6010
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6011
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6012
6013
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6014
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6015
6016
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6017
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6018
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6019
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6020
6021
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6022
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6023
6024
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6025
assuming the host name is ascii.

(Robert Collins)
6080
6081
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6082
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6083
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6084
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6085
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

6088
is unknown in both source and target.
6089
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6090
6091
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6092
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6093
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6094
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6095
6096
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6097
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6098
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6099
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

:Released: 2008-08-29
6130
6131
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6132
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6133
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6134
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6135
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6136
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6137
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6138
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6139
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6140
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6141
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6142
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6143
6144
Bug Fixes
6145
*********
6146
6147
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6148
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6149
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6150
start of the string (causing more copies).
6151
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6152
especially for projects with large files.
6153
(John Arbash Meinel)
6154
6155
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6156
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6157
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6158
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6159
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6160
6161
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6162
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6163
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6164
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6165
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes

new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6176
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6177

6178
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6179
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6180
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6181
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6182

* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6277
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6278
6279
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6280
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6281
6282
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6283
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6284
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6285
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6286
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6287
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

##########
6292
6293
:Released: 2008-08-06
6294
6295
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6296
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6297
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6298
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6299
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6300
6301
Changes
6302
*******
6303
6304
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6305
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6306
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6307
6308
Improvements
6309
************
6310
6311
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6312
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6313
6314
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6315
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6316
6317
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6318
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6319
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6320
6321
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6322
(James Westby)
6323
6324
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6325
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6326
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6327
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6328
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6329
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6330
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6331
6332
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6333
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6334
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6335
6336
Bug Fixes
6337
*********
6338
6339
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6340
physical repository boundaries.
6341
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6342
6343
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6344
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6345
6346
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6347
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6348
(Martin Pool)
6349
6350
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6351
(Ian Clatworthy)
6352
6353
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
6354
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
6355
that Python is running from.
6356
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
6357
6358
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
6359
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
6360
(Robert Collins, #150438)
6361
6362
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
6363
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
6364
6365
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
6366
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
6367
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
6368
6369
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
6370
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
6371
6372
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
6373
(James Westby, #248448)
6374
6375
API Changes
6376
***********
6377
6378
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
6379
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
6380
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
6381
(Robert Collins)
6382
6383
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
6384
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
6385
(Robert Collins)
6386
6387
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6388
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6389
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6390
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6391
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6392
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
6393
(Robert Collins)
6394
6395
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
6396
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6397
6398
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6399
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6400
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6401
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6402
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
6403
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
6404
6405
Internals
6406
*********
6407
6408
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
6409
putting together a real history without having to create a full
6410
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
6411
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
6412
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
6413
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6414
6415
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
6416
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
6417
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
6418
6419
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
6420
(Ian Clatworthy)
6421
6422
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
6423
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
6424
6425
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

6430
############
6431
6432
:Released: 2008-07-17
6433
6434
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
6435
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
6436
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
6437
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
6438
bug fixes.
6439
6440
Features
6441
********
6442
6443
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
6444
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
6445
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6446
6447
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6448
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6449
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6450
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6451
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6452
(Ian Clatworthy)
6453
6454
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6455
6456
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6457
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6458
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6459
(Robert Collins)
6460
6461
Improvements
6462
************
6463
6464
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6465
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6466
(Martin Pool)
6467
6468
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6469
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6470
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6471
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6472
6473
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6474
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6475
(Christophe Troestler)
6476
6477
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6478
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6479
6480
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6481
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6482
faster. The new request method name is
6483
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6484
6485
Bug Fixes
6486
*********
6487
6488
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6489
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6490
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6491
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6492
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6493
6494
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6495
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6496
6497
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6498
requires a branch to be present.
6499
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6500
6501
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6502
loaded.
6503
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6504
6505
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6506
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6507
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6508
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6509
6510
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6511
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6512
6513
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6514
name contains an @.
6515
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6516
6517
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6518
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6519
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6520
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6521
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6522
6523
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6524
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6525
6526
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6527
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6528
6529
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6530
Cygwin Bazaar.
6531
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6532
6533
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
6534
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
6535
6536
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.

*******
6550
6551
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6552
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6553
6554
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6555
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6556
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6557
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6558
6559
API Changes
6560
***********
6561
6562
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6563
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6564
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6565
Repository docstring for more details.
6566
(Robert Collins)
6567
6568
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6569
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6570
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6571
6572
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6573
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6574
(Daniel Watkins)
6575
6576
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6577
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6578
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6579
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

6581
Internals
6582
*********
6583
6584
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
6585
(Alexander Belchenko)
6586
6587
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6588
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6589
containing a given location.
6590
(Daniel Watkins)
6591
6592
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6593
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6594
storage. (Robert Collins)
6595
6596
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6597
(Robert Collins)
6598
6599
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
6600
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

Bug Fixes
6615
*********
6616
6617
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6618
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6619
reading from the repository.)
6620
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
6621
6622
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6623
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6624
6625
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
6626
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
6627
(Andrew Bennetts)
6628
6629
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6630
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6631
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6632
6633
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6634
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6635
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6636
6637
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6638
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6639
6640
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6641
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6642
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

6649
6650
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
6651
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
6652
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)

tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6675
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6676
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,

uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6697
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6698
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6699
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers

Notes When Upgrading
6704
********************
6705
6706
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6707
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6708
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6709
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6710
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6711
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6712
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

Improvements
6729
************
6730
6731
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6732
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6733
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6734
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6735
6736
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6737
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6738
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6739
6740
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6741
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6742
6743
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6744
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6745
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6746
6747
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6748
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6749
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6750
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6751
step closer to not using full revision history.

********
6756
6757
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6758
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6759
6760
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6761
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6762
6763
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6764
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6765
6766
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6767
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6768
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6769
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6770
6771
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6772
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6773
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6774
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6775
6776
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6777
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6778
in use by another process.
6779
(Martin Pool)
6780
6781
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6782
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6783
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6784
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6785
6786
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6787
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6788
6789
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6790
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6792
6793
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
6794
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
6796
6797
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6798
them.
6799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6800
6801
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6802
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6803
6804
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6805
under vim on Mac OS X.
6806
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6807
6808
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
6809
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)

* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6818

6819

6822

6832
6833
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6834
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6835
6836
* New helper function for splitting test suites
6837
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)

*********
6841
6842
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
6843
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
6844
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
6845

API Changes
6848
***********
6849
6850
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6851
instead. (Martin Pool)
6852
6853
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6854
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6855
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6856
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6857
6858
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6859
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6860
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6861
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6862
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6863
6864
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6865
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6866
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6867
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6868
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6869
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6870
6871
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6872
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6873
(Martin Pool)
6874
6875
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6876
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6877
(Robert Collins)
6878
6879
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6880
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6881
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6882
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6883
6884
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6885
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6886
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6887
6888
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6889
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6890
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6891
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6892
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6893
(Martin Pool)
6894
6895
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6896
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6897
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6898
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6899
(Robert Collins)
6900
6901
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6902
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6903
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6904
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6905
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6906
6907
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

6967
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6968
6969
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6970
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6971
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6972

7001
7002
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7003

7004
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

7059
7060
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
7061

7063
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7064
7065
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
7066

This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and

7115
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
7116
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or

different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial

``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
7172
7173
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
7174
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
7175
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
7176
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
7177
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7178
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,

7223
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7224
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7225
7226
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7227
(Aaron Bentley)
7228
7229
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7230
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7231
7232
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7233
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7234
7235
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7236
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7237
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7238
7239
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7240
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7241
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7242
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7243
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7244
7245
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7246
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7247
7248
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7249
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)

********
7253
7254
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7255
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7256
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7257
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7258
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7259
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7260
7261
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7262
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7263
7264
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7265
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.

* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7272
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7273
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7274
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7275
7276
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7277
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7278
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7279
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7280
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7281
7282
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7283
7284
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7285

7287
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)

* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7290
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)

non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7311
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7312
7313
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7314
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7315
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7316
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7317
7318
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7319
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7320
release. (James Westby)
7321
7322
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.

* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7326
7327
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7328
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7329
7330
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7331
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)

7333
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7334
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7335
7336
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7337
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7338
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7339
7340
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7341
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7342
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7343
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7344
7345
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7346
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7347
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7348
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7349
7350
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7351
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7352
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7353
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7354
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7355
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7356
7357
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7358
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7359
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7360
7361
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7362
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7363
7364
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7365
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7366

7367
7368
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7369
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)

7371
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7372
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7373
7374
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7375
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7376
7377
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7378
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7379
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7380
7381
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7382
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7383
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7384
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7385
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7386
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7387
7388

7389
*******
7390
7391
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7392
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7393
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7394
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7395
7396
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7397
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7398
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7399
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7400
implement this).

(Vincent Ladeuil)

7404

* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7425
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7426
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7427
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7428

7430
7431
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7432
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7433
7434
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7435
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7436
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7437

* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7440

Changes
7499
*******
7500
7501
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7502
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7503
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7504
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7505
(Robert Collins)
7506
7507
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7508
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7509
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7510
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7511
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.

bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7516
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.

************
7536
7537
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7538
7539
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7540
7541
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7542
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7543
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7544
7545
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7546
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7547
7548
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7549
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7550
7551
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7552
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7553
(Alexander Belchenko)
7554
7555
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7556
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7557
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7558
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7559
7560
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7561
(Daniel Watkins)
7562
7563
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7564
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7565
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7566
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7567
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

********************
7694
7695
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch

7705
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7706
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7707
7708
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7709
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7710
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7711
7712
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7713
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7714
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7715
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7716
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7717
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.

7722
7723
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7724
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7725
7726
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7727
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7728
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7729
(Robert Collins)
7730
7731
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7732
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7733
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7734
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7735
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7736
7737
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7738
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7739
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7740
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7741
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7742
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7743
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7744
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

************
7748
7749
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7750
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7751
7752
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7753
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7754
7755
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7756
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7757
7758
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7759
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7760
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7761
7762
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7763
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

********
7768
7769
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7770
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7771
7772
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7773
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7774
7775
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7776
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7777
7778
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7779
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7780
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7781
7782
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7783
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7784
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7785
7786
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7787
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7788
7789
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7790
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7791
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7792
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7793
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7794
unittest runner.
7795
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7796
7797
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7798
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7799
#185907)
7800
7801
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7802
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
7803
7804
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7805
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
7806
7807
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7809
7810
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7811
more characters which should be considered valid.
7812
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7813
7814
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7815
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7816
7817
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7818
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)

API Breaks
7821
**********
7822
7823
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7824
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7825
7826
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7827
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
7828

7829
7830
Testing
7831
*******
7832
7833
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This

7838
*********
7839
7840
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7841
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7842
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7843
7844
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7845
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7846
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7847
7848
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7849
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7850
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7851
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7852
7853
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7854
7855
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7856
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7857
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7858
server. (Robert Collins)
7859
7860
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7861
operate. (Robert Collins)
7862
7863
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7864
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7865
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7866
7867
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7868
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7869
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7870
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7871
7872
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7873
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7874
7875
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7876
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7877
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7878
7879
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7880
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7881
7882
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7883
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7884
7885
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7886
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7887
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7888
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

7904
*******
7905
7906
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7907
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7908
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7909
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7910
7911
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7912
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7913
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
7914
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7932
#90049)
7933
7934
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7935
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7936
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7937
7938
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7939
7940
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7941
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7942
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7943
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7944
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7945
7946
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7947
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7948
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7949

8206
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
8207
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
8208
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
8209
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
8210
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
8211
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
8212
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
8213
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
8214
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

Notes When Upgrading
8258
********************
8259
8260
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8261
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8262
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8263
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8264
8265
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8266
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8267
8268
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8269
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8270
8271
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8272
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8273
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8274
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8275
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8276
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8277
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8278
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8279
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8280
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8281
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8282
from any tree without problems.

8289
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8290
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8291
8292
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8293
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).

for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
8301
supported transports.
8302
(Vincent Ladeuil)

8305
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.

(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
8307
8308
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
8309
(Robert Collins, #154173)
8310
8311
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
8312
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
8313
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
8314
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)

***********
8321
8322
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8323
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8324
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8325
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8326
8327
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8328
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8329
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8330
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
8331
8332
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8333
(Robert Collins, #88319)
8334
8335
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
8336
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
8337
8338
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
8339
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)

8553
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
8554
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
8555
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8556
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8557
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8558
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8559
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8560
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8561
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8562
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8563
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8564
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

8576
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that

revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8602
8603
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8604
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8605
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8606
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8607
8608
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8609

8611
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8612
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8613

8614

override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8670
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8671
8672
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8673
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8674
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8675
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8676
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8677
8678
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8679
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8680
paramiko.
8681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8682
8683
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8684
8685
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8686
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8687
8688
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8690
8691
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8693
8694
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8695
contains a symbolic link.
8696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8697
8698
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8699
(James Westby, #140615)
8700
8701
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8702
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8704
8705
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8706
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8707
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8708
8709
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8710
8711
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8713
8714
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8715
will remain opened.
8716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8717
8718
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8719
directory to detect leaking tests.
8720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8721
8722
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8723
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8724
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8725
8726
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8727
(Rob Weir, #141629)
8728
8729
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8730
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8731
8732
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8733
Merwe)
8734
8735
API Breaks
8736
**********
8737
8738
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8739
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8740
8741
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8742
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8743
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8744
8745
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8746
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8747
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8748
8749
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8750
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8751
8752
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8753
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8754
8755
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8756
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8757
(Martin Pool)
8758
8759
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8760
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8761
8762
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8763
class that needs it.
8764
(Martin Pool)
8765
8766
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8767
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8768
8769
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8770
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8771
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8772
8773
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8774
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8775
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8776
(Robert Collins)
8777
8778
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8779
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8780
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8781
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8782
(Robert Collins)
8783
8784
Internals
8785
*********
8786
8787
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8788
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8789
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8790
8791
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8792
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8793
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8794
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8795
8796
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8797
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8798
(Robert Collins)
8799
8800
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8801
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8802
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8803
8804
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8805
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8806
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8807
8808
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8809
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8810
8811
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8812
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8813
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8814
8815
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8816
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8817
8818
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8819
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8820
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8821
8822
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8823
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8824
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8825
8826
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8827
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8828
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8829
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8830
8831
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8832
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8833
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8834
returned. (Robert Collins)
8835
8836
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8837
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8838
8839
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8840
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8841
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8842
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8843
(Robert Collins)
8844
8845
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8846
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
8847
8848
Testing
8849
*******
8850
8851
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8852
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8853
8854
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8855
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8856
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8857
makes this behavior available to other users.
8858
(Martin Pool)
8859
8860
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8861
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

8877
8878
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with

an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
8880
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.

Changes
8903
*******
8904
8905
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8906
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8907
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8908
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8909
(Martin Pool)
8910
8911
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8912
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8913
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8914
(Ian Clatworthy)
8915
8916
Features
8917
********
8918
8919
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8920
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8921
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8922
(Lukáš Lalinský)
8923
8924
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8925
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8926
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8927
8928
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8929
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8930
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8931
8932
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8933
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8934
8935
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8936
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8937
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8938
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8939
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8940
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8941
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8942
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8943
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8944
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8945
8946
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8947
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8948
8949
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8950
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8951
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8952
8953
Bug Fixes
8954
*********
8955
8956
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8957
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8958
8959
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8960
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8961
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8962
8963
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8964
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8965
8966
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8967
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8968
8969
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8970
(Aaron Bentley)
8971
8972
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8973
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8974
8975
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8976
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8977
8978
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8979
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8980
8981
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8982
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8983
8984
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8985
8986
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8987
Watkins, #106726)
8988
8989
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8990
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8991
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8992
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8993
8994
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8995
8996
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8997
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8998
#133548)
8999
9000
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9001
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9002
9003
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9004
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9005
#116143)
9006
9007
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9008
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9009
9010
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9011
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9012
9013
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9014
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9015
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9016
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9017
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9018
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9019
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9020
9021
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9022
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9023
9024
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9025
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9026
9027
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9028
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9029
9030
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9031
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9032
9033
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9034
connections.
9035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9036
9037
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9038
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9039
9040
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9041
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9042
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9043
9044
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9045
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
9049
************
9050
9051
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9052
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9053
9054
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9055
(Aaron Bentley)
9056
9057
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9058
(Aaron Bentley)
9059
9060
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9061
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9062
9063
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9064
9065
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9066
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9067
9068
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9069
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9070
9071
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9072
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9073
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9074
space). (Robert Collins)
9075
9076
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9077
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9078
(Ian Clatworthy)
9079
9080
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9081
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9082
9083
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9084
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9085
9086
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9087
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9088
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9089
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9090
9091
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9092
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9093
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9094
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9095
9096
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9097
(Ian Clatworthy)
9098
9099
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9100
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9101
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9102
9103
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9104
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9105
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9106
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9107
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
9108

API Breaks
9110
**********
9111
9112
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9113
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9114
9115
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9116
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9117
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9118
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9119
affected. (Robert Collins)
9120
9121
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9122
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9123
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9124
(Robert Collins)
9125
9126
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9127
previous release. (Martin Pool)

9132
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
9133
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
9134
9135
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9136
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9137
9138
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9139

9150
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9151
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9152
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9153
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9154
9155
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9156
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9157
9158
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9159
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9160
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9161
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9162
9163
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9164
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9165
present. (Robert Collins)
9166
9167
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9168
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9169
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9170
API. (Robert Collins)
9171
9172
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9173
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9174
(Robert Collins)
9175
9176
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9177
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9178
9179
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9180
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9181
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9182
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9183
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9184
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9185
9186
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9187
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9188
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9189
9190
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9191
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9192
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9193
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9194
protocol.
9195
9196
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9197
(Aaron Bentley)
9198
9199
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9200
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9201
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9202
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9203
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9204
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9205
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9206
9207
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9208
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9209
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9210
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9211
9212
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9213
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9214
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9215
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9216
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9217
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9218
9219
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9220
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9221
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9222
9223
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9224
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Bugfixes
9259
********
9260
9261
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9262
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9263
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9264
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9265
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9266
9267
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9269

9271
anymore.
9272
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9273
9274

9275
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9276
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9277
9278
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9279
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9280
#111664)
9281
9282
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9283
(Lukáš Lalinský)
9284
9285
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9286
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9287
9288
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9289
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9290
9291
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9292
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9293
9294
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9295
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9296
9297
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9298
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)

9306
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9307
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9308
9309
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9310
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9311
9312
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9313
the repository (Robert Collins)
9314
9315
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9316
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9317
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9318
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9319
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9320
9321
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9322
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9323
9324
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9325
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9326
(John Arbash Meinel)
9327
9328
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9329
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9330
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9331
about 10%).
9332
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9333
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9334
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9335
(John Arbash Meinel)
9336
9337
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9338
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9339
(Robert Collins)
9340
9341
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9342
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9343
9344
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9345
(Ian Clatworthy)
9346
9347
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9348
9349
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9350
9351
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9352
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9353
9354
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9355
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9356
Meinel)
9357
9358
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9359
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9360
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9361
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9362
9363
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9364
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9365
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9366
9367
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9368
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9369
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9370
9371
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9372
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9373
9374
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9375
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9376
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9377
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9378
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9379
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9380

9381
9382

9386
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9387
9388
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9389
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)

9391
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

Library API Breaks
9397
******************
9398
9399
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9400
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9401
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9402
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9403
9404
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9405
9406
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9407
(Robert Collins)
9408
9409
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9410
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9411
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9412
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9413
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9414
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
9415

Internals
9417
*********
9418
9419
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9420
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9421
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9422
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9423
9424
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9425
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9426
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9427
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9428
tests have been refactored too.
9429
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9430
9431
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9432
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9433
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9434
list, it will.
9435
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9436
9437
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9438
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9439
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9440
9441
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9442
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9443
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9444
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9445
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9446
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9447
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9448
9449
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9450
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9451
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9452
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9453
(John Arbash Meinel)
9454
9455
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9456
functionality for testing.
9457
9458
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9459
9460
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9461
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9462
9463
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9464
9465
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9466
(Robert Collins)
9467
9468
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9469
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9470
9471
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9472
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9473
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9474
9475
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9476
(Aaron Bentley)
9477
9478
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9479
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9480
9481
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9482
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9483
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9484
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9485
9486
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9487
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9488
9489
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9490
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9491
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9492
9493
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9494
(Marius Kruger)
9495
9496
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9497
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9498
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9499
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9500
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9501
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9502
9503
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9504
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9505
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9506
many files. (Robert Collins)
9507
9508
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9509
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9510
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9511
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9512
9513
Testing
9514
*******
9515
9516
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9517
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9518
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9519
9520
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9521
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9522
9523
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9524
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9525
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9597
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9598
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9599
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.

See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
9601
9602
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
9603
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
9604
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
9605
9606
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9607
(Elliot Murphy)
9608
9609
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9610
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9611
9612
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9613
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9614
9615
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9616
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9617
9618
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9619
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9620
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9621
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9622
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9623
9624
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9625
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9626
9627
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9628
can be slow it is useful feedback).
9629

9632
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)

9634
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
9635
9636
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
9637

9640
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.

9646
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
9647
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
9648
9649
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
9650

******************
9665
9666
* Testing cleanups -
9667
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9668
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
9669
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved

9683
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
9684
(Robert Collins)
9685
9686
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9687
9688
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9689
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9690
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9691
9692
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9693
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9694
9695
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9696
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9697
9698
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9699
9700
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9701
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9702
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9703
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9704
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9705
same location. (Robert Collins)
9706

*********
9709
9710
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9711
9712
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9713
9714
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9715
9716
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9717
(Martin Pool)
9718
9719
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9720
(Martin Pool)
9721
9722
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9723
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9724
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9725
9726
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9727
9728
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9729
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9730
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9731
9732
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9733
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9734
9735
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9736
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9737
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9738
9739
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9740
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9741
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9742
9743
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9744
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9745
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9746
9747
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9748
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9749
Martin Pool)
9750
9751
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9752
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9753
9754
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9755
(Alexander Belchenko)
9756
9757
Testing
9758
*******
9759
9760
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9761
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9762
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9763
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9764
9765
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9766
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9767
testing. (Robert Collins)
9768
9769
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9770
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9771
9772
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9773
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9774
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9775
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9776
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9777
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9778
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9779
9780
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9781
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9782
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9783
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9784
9785
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9786
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9787
9788
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9789
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
9814
********************
9815
9816
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9817
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9818
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9819
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9820
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9821
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9822
and unlock() like so::
9823
9824
work_tree.lock_read()
9825
try:
9826
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9827
finally:

Internals
9831
*********
9832
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9833
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9834
object.
9835
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9836
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9837
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9838
9839
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9840
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9841
too. (Robert Collins)
9842
9843
Improvements
9844
************
9845
9846
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9847
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9848
Aaron Bentley)
9849
9850
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9851
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9852
9853
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9854
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9855
9856
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9857
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9858
understanding what changes have occurred
9859
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9860
9861
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9862
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9863
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9864
9865
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9866
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9867
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9868
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9869

********
9875
9876
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9877
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9878
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9879
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9880
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)

* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9894
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9895
9896
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9897
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9898
9899
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9900
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9901
9902
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,

9979
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9980
it could be recovered again.
9981
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9982
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9983
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9984
but not delete it.
9985
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the

10055
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10056
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10057
10058
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10059
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10060
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10061
10062
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10063
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10064
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10065
10066
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10067
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10068
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10069
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10070
10071
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10072
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10073
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10074
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10075
10076
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10077
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10078
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10079
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10080
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10081
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10082
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10083
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10084
header(s).

* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10091
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10092
10093
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10094
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10095
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10096
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10097
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10098
10099
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10100
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10101
10102
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10103
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10104
10105
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10106
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10107
10108
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10109
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10110
10111
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10112
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10113
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10114
(Robert Collins).
10115
10116
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10117
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10118
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10119
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10120
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10121
(Robert Collins)
10122
10123
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10124
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10125
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10126
10127
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10128
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10129
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10130
10131
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10132
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10133
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10134
(Vincent Ladeuil).
10135
10136
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10137
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10138
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10139
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10140
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10141
10142
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10143
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10144
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10145
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10146
10147
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10148
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10149
10150
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10151
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10152
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10153
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10154
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10155
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10156
10157
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10158
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10159
10160
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10161
help. (Robert Collins)
10162
10163
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10164
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10165
10166
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10167
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10168
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10169
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10170
(John Arbash Meinel)
10171
10172
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10173
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10174
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10175
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10176
useful. (Robert Collins)
10177

* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10246
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10247
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10248

* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10250

10251
10252
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10253
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10254
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10255
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10256
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10257
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10258
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10259
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10260
10261
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10262
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10263
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10264
10265
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10266
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10267
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10268
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10269
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10270

10311
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10312
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10313
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10314
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10315
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10316
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10317
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10318
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

Surprises
10436
*********
10437
10438
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10439
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10440
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10441
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10442
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10443
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10444
10445
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10446
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10447
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10448
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10449
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10450
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10451
development.
10452
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10453
10454
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10455
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10456
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10457
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10458
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10459
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10460
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert

10467

10468
10469
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10470
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10471
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10472
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10473
does exist.
10474
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10475
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10476
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10477
will only update the Bazaar identifier.

* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10490
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10491
(Aaron Bentley)
10492
10493
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10494
(Aaron Bentley)
10495

* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10497
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10498
10499
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10500
directory. (Martin Pool)
10501
10502
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10503
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10504
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10505
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10506
10507
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10508
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10509
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10510
in docs/configuration.txt.
10511
10512
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10513
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10514
bind location.
10515
10516
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10517
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10518
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10519
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10520
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10521
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10522
10523
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10524
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10525
10526
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10527

10534
10535
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10536
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10537
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10538
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10539
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10540
(John Arbash Meinel)
10541
10542
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10543
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10544
(Aaron Bentley)
10545
10546
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10547
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10548
(John Arbash Meinel)
10549
10550
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10551
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10552
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10553
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10554
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10555
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10556
10557
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10558
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10559
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10560
10561
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10562
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10563
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10564
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10565
repository.
10566
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10567
10568
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10569
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10570
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10571
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10572
10573
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10574
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10575
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10576
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10577
10578
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10579
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10580
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10581
10582
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10583
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10584
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10585
10586
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10587
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10588
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10589
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10590
10591
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10592
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10593
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10594
10595
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10596
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10597
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10598
10599
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10600
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10601
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10602
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10603
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10604
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10605
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10606
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10607
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

10692
10693
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10694
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10695
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10696
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10697
10698
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10699
(Marius Kruger)
10700
10701
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10702
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10703
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10704
10705
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10706
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10707
10708
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10709
(Aaron Bentley)
10710
10711
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10712
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10713
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10714
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10715
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10716
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10717
10718
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10719
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10720
should enable you to do::
10721
10722
[/home/user/project]
10723
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10724
push_location:policy = appendpath
10725
10726
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10727
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10728
(James Henstridge)
10729
10730
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags

10758
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10759
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10760
10761
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10762
10763
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10764
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore

10781
10782
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10783
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10784
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
10785
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
10786
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)

10798
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
10799
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
10800
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10801
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10802
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10803
10804
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10805
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
10806
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
10807
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)

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

* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10979
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10980
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10981

For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10985
10986
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10987
10988
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10989
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10990
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10991

* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10994
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10995

11062

11122
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11123
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11124
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11125
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11126
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11127
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s

11139
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11140
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11141
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11142
(Robert Collins)
11143
11144
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
11145

11146
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

11228
11229

of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11240

11242

11243
11244
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11245
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11246
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11247
11248
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11249
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11250
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11251
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11252
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11253
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11254
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11255
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11256
caller to repeat their request.
11257
(John Arbash Meinel)
11258
11259
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11260
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11261
11262
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11263
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11264
11265
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11266
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11267
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11268
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11269
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11270
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11271
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11272
11273
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11274
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11275
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11276
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11277
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11278
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11279
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11280
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11281
(Robert Collins)
11282
11283
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11284

``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)

11354
11355
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11356
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11357
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11358
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11359
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11360
11361
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11362
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11363
11364
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11365
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11366
11367
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11368
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11369
11370
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11371
in handling of revision properties.
11372
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11373
11374
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11375
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)

*********
11379
11380
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11381
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11382
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11383
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11384
(John Arbash Meinel)
11385
11386
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11387
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11388
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
11396
*********
11397
11398
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11399
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11400
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11401
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11402
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11403
a more conservative list than the old default.
11404
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11405
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11406
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11407
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11408
11409
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11410
to more locations than just branch locations.
11411

Improvements
11414
************
11415
11416
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11417
revno:N:branch. For example,
11418
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11419
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11420
11421
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11422
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11423
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11424
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11425
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11426
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11427
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11428
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11429
#42517, #42514)
11430
11431
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11432
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11433
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11434
(Malone #3507)
11435
11436
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11437
(Alexander Belchenko)
11438
11439
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11440
11441
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11442
(Robert Collins).
11443
11444
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11445
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11446
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11447
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11448
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11449
(John Arbash Meinel)
11450
11451
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11452
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11453
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11454
grained analysis of performance.
11455
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11456
11457
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11458
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11459
11460
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11461
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11462
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11463
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11464
file. (Robert Collins).
11465
11466
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11467
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11468
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11469
11470
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11471
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11472
Matthieu Moy)
11473
11474
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11475
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11476
11477
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11478
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11479
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11480
the same way you would apply another branch.
11481
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11482
11483
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11484
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11485
11486
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11487
(Michael Ellerman)
11488
11489
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11490
(Aaron Bentley)
11491
11492
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11493
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11494
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11495
11496
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11497
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11498
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11499
11500
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11501
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11502
11503
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11504
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11505
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11506
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11507
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11508
11509
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11510
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11511
11512
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11513
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11514
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11515
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11516
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11517
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11518
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11519
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11520
11521
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11522
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11523
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

tests not to run.
11530
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
11531
11532
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11533
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11534
11535
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11536
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11537
11538
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11539
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11540
11541
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11542
11543
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11544
(John Arbash Meinel)
11545
11546
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11547
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11548
11549
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11550
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11551
and y.
11552
11553
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11554
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11555
11556
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11557
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11558
11559
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11560
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11561
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11562
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11563
11564
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11565

11567
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)

* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11570
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)

* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
11573
11574
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
11575

* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11577
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11578
11579
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11580
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11581
11582
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11583
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11584
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11585
11586
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11587
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11588
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11589
11590
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11591
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11592
11593
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11594
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
11595
11596
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11597
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11598
11599
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11600
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11601
11602
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11603
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11604
11605
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11606
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11607
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11608
11609
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)

11618
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11619
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
11620
11621
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11622
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11623
11624
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11625
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11626
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11627
11628
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11629
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11630
11631
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11632
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11633
(Martin Pool)
11634
11635
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11636
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11637
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11638
11639
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11640
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11641
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11642
11643
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11644
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11645
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11646
11647
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11648
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

11650
11651
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom

importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to

sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
11654
11655
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``

Notes When Upgrading
11732
********************
11733
11734
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11735
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11736
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11737
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11738
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11739
will keep the same format.
11740
11741
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11742
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11743
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11744
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11745
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11746
11747
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11748
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11749
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11750
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11751
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11752
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11753
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11754
11755
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11756
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11757
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11758
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11759
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11760
11761
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11762
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11763
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11764
arrangement.
11765
11766
11767
Improvements
11768
************
11769
11770
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11771
convention. Paths now take the form::
11772
11773
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11774
or
11775
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11776
11777
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11778
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)

* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11781
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11782
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11783
11784
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11785
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11786
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11787
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11788
11789
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11790
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11791
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11792
11793
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11794
11795
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11796
11797
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11798
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11799
commits::
11800
11801
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11802
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11803
| xargs bzr re-sign
11804
11805
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11806
11807
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11808
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11809
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11810
(Robert Collins)
11811
11812
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11813
11814
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11815
11816
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11817
'.moved'.
11818
11819
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11820
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11821
11822
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11823
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11824
Daniel Silverstone)
11825
11826
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11827
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11828
Martin Pool)
11829
11830
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11831
11832
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11833
11834
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11835
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11836
11837
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11838
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11839
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11840
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11841
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11842
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11843
11844
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11845
11846
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11847
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11848
(Robert Collins)
11849
11850
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11851
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11852
11853
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11854
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11855
11856
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11857
11858
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11859
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11860
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11861
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11862
specification by Martin Pool.
11863
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11864
11865
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11866
Belchenko)
11867
11868
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11869
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11870
11871
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11872
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11873
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11874
11875
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11876
11877
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11878
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11879
(Robert Collins)

Changes
11882
*******
11883
11884
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11885
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11886
11887
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11888
11889
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11890
11891
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11892
(Olaf Conradi)
11893
11894
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11895
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11896
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11897
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11898
11899
Internals
11900
*********
11901
11902
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11903
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11904
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11905
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11906
11907
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11908
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11909
tried. (Martin Pool)
11910
11911
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11912
(Martin Pool)
11913
11914
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11915
11916
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11917
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11918
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11919
11920
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11921
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11922
11923
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11924
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11925
paths. (Robert Collins)
11926
11927
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11928
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11929
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11930
11931
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11932
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11933
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11934
11935
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11936
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11937
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11938
11939
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11940
(Olaf Conradi)
11941
11942
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11943
(Olaf Conradi)
11944
11945
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11946
11947
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11948
11949
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11950
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11951
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11952
(Robert Collins)
11953
11954
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11955
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11956
11957
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11958
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11959
check. (Robert Collins)
11960
11961
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11962
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11963
11964
Testing
11965
*******
11966
11967
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11968
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11969
11970
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11971
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11972
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11973
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11974
11975
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11976
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11977
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11978
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11979
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11980
11981
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11982
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11983
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11984
11985
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11986
11987
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11988
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
11996
*******
11997
11998
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11999
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12000
12001
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12002
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12003
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12004
(Johan Rydberg)
12005
12006
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12007
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12008
12009
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12010
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12011
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12012
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12013
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12014
12015
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12016
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12017
used. (Robert Collins)
12018
12019
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12020
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12021
(James Henstridge)
12022
12023
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12024
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12025
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12026
12027
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12028
ignore list.
12029
12030
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12031
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
12032
12033
Improvements
12034
************
12035
12036
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12037
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12038
12039
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12040
12041
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12042
12043
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12044
tree. (Robert Collins)
12045
12046
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12047
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12048
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12049
(Robert Collins)
12050
12051
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12052
that they be kept.
12053
12054
* Tweaks to short log printing
12055
12056
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12057
(Aaron Bentley)
12058
12059
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12060
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12061
12062
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12063
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12064
12065
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12066
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12067
12068
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12069
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12070
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12071
12072
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12073
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12074
12075
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12076
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12077
requests.
12078
12079
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12080
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12081
12082
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12083
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12084
12085
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12086
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12087
12088
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12089
(Denys Duchier)
12090
12091
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12092
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12093
12094
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12095
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12096
12097
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12098
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
12099

Bug Fixes
12102
*********
12103
12104
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
12105
12106
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12107
12108
* Error when run with -OO
12109
12110
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
12111
(Martin Pool)
12112
12113
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
12114
12115
* Change status to 3 for all errors
12116
12117
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
12118
ignored by diff and status
12119
12120
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
12121
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
12122
12123
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
12124
12125
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
12126
12127
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
12128
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
12129
12130
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
12131
email address. (Marien Zwart)
12132
12133
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12134
(Harald Meland)
12135
12136
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
12137
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12138
12139
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12140
12141
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12142
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
12143
12144
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
12145
(Martin Pool)
12146
12147
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
12148
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
12149
12150
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
12151

Testing
12153
*******
12154
12155
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12156
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12157
12158
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12159
12160
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12161
12162
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12163
12164
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12165
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12166
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12167
12168
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12169
12170
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
12171
(John Arbash Meinel)
12172
12173
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12174
12175
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12176
If adding a new test script please add that to
12177
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12178
12179
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12180
imported. (Martin Pool)
12181
12182
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12183
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12184
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12185
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12186
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12187
(Robert Collins)
12188
12189
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12190
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12191
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12192
12193
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12194
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12195
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12196
12197
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12198
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12199
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12200
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12201
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12202
(Robert Collins).
12203
12204
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12205
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
12206
(Robert Collins).
12207
12208
Internals
12209
*********
12210
12211
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12212
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12213
12214
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12215
function. (Robert Collins)
12216
12217
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12218
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12219
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12220
12221
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12222
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12223
(Robert Collins)
12224
12225
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12226
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12227
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12228
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12229
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12230
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12231
version. (Robert Collins)
12232
12233
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12234
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).

* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12237
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12238
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12239
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12240
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12241
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)

12273
(Michael Ellerman)
12274
12275
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12276
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12277
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12278
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12279
12280
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12281
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12282
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12283
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12284
12285
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12286

************
12295
12296
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12297
(John A Meinel)
12298
12299
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12300
conflicts.
12301
(Aaron Bentley)
12302
12303
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12304
a separator, not ':'.
12305
(Aaron Bentley)
12306
12307
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12308
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12309
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12310
12311
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12312
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12313
(Robert Collins)
12314
12315
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12316
has been added that suppresses all output.
12317
12318
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12319
Adams.
12320
12321
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12322
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12323
12324
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12325
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12326
12327
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12328
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12329
12330
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12331
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12332
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12333
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12334
12335
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12336
12337
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12338
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12339
12340
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12341
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12342
12343
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12344
output directory, if one was supplied.
12345
12346
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12347
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12348
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12349
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12350
12351
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12352
12353
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12354
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12355
12356
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12357
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12358
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12359
12360
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12361
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12362
12363
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12364
(Aaron Bentley)
12365
12366
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
12367
12368
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
12369
12370
Testing
12371
*******
12372
12373
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12374
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12375
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12376
12377
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12378
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12379
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12380
12381
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12382
is given. (Martin Pool)
12383
12384
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12385
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12386
file. (Robert Collins)
12387
12388
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.

Internals
12392
*********
12393
12394
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12395
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12396
representation. (Martin Pool).
12397
12398
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12399
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12400
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12401
12402
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12403
(Robert Collins)
12404
12405
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12406
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12407
Magnus Therning.
12408
12409
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12410
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12411
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12412
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12413
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12414
12415
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12416
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12417
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12418
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12419
python path. (Robert Collins)
12420
12421
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12422
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12423
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12424
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12425
12426
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12427
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12428
12429
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12430
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12431
(Robert Collins)
12432
12433
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12434
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12435
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12436
12437
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12438
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12439
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12440
12441
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12442
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12443
12444
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12445
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12446
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12447
(Robert Collins)
12448
12449
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12450
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12451
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12452
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12453
(Robert Collins)
12454
12455
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12456
(Robert Collins)
12457
12458
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12459
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12460
(Robert Collins)
12461
12462
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12463
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12464
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12465
12466
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12467
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12468
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12469
12470
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12471
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12472
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12473
12474
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12475
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12476
12477
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12478
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12479
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12480
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12481
caller. (Robert Collins)
12482
12483
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12484
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12485
(Robert Collins).
12486
12487
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12488
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12489
(Aaron Bentley)
12490
12491
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12492
12493
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12494
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

*****
12533
12534
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12535
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
12536
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12537
high-latency connections.

12548
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12549
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are

written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12551

12560
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12561
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12562
12563
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12564

12565
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by

Improvements
12578
************
12579
12580
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12581
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12582
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12583
12584
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12585
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12586
'bzr upgrade'.
12587
12588
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12589
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12590
12591
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo

12594
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12595
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12596
12597
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12598
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12599
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12600
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12601
12602
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12603
12604
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12605
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by

12607
12608

12622
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12623
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12624
12625
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12626
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12627
handling of such circumstances.
12628
12629
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12630
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12631
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12632
12633
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12634
12635
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12636
we call them revisions not patches.
12637
12638
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12639
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12640
12641
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12642
giving the revision *of that file*.
12643
12644
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.

12720
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12721
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12722
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12723
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12724
for the operating system is still tried.
12725
12726
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12727
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12728
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

12828
12829
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
12830
FOO.
12831
12832
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
12833
12834
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
12835
the Unix command.
12836
12837
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
12838
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
12839
12840
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be

12852
*******
12853
12854
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12855
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12856
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12857
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12858
12859
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12860
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12861
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12862
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12863
standard plugins directory.
12864
12865
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12866
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12867
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12868
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12869
12870
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12871
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
12872
12873
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12874
disk.
12875
12876
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12877
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12878
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12879
12880
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12881
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12882
12883
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12884
line options must come before the command name because they
12885
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12886
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12887
it.
12888
12889
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12890
12891
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
12892
is available with ``--short``.

12907
*******
12908
12909
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
12910
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12911
12912
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12913
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12914
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12915
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12916
12917
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12918
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12919
with the ``--forward`` option.
12920
12921
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
12922

12935
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12936
12937

12940
either read or write mode.

12945
affected that file.
12946
12947

12948
12949

12950
suggested by LarstiQ.
12951
12952

12953
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
12954
12955
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
12956
a filename.
12957
12958
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
12959
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
12960
12961
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
12962
haven't changed since the previous time.
12963
12964
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
12965
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
12966
12967

12968
12969
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
12970
12971
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
12972
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
12973
12974

12975
options through to an external GNU diff.
12976

12978

12998

12999
the tests.
13000
13001
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13002
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13003
13004
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13005
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
13006
13007
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
13008

* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
1202
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
1203
1204
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
1205
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
1206
macrobenchmark suite.

* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
1210
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.

1213
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
1214
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
1215
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
1216
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
1217
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
1218
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
1219
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1220
1221
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
1222
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
1223
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
1224
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
