14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
33
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
34
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
38
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
39
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
40
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
41
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
42
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
43
for further details. (Robert Collins)
45
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
46
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
47
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
50
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
52
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
53
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
55
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
56
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
59
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
60
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
61
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
65
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
66
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
68
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
69
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
71
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
72
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
73
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
74
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
76
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
77
(Robert Collins, #88319)
79
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
82
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
83
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
84
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
85
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
87
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
88
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
90
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
91
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
93
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
94
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
96
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
97
the contents. (Robert Collins)
99
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
100
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
104
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
105
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
107
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
108
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
110
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
111
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
113
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
114
(Martin Pool, #63894)
116
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
117
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
121
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
123
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
128
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
129
(Robert Collins, #157789)
131
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
132
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
133
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
135
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
138
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
139
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
141
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
142
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
144
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
145
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
146
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
147
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
149
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
150
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
151
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
152
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
153
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
155
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
156
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
160
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
162
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
163
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
165
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
168
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
171
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
172
contains a symbolic link.
173
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
175
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
176
(James Westby, #140615)
178
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
179
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
182
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
183
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
184
(Martin Pool, #144633)
186
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
188
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
191
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
195
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
196
directory to detect leaking tests.
197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
199
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
201
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
202
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
203
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
205
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
208
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
209
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
211
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
214
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
219
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
220
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
222
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
223
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
224
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
226
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
227
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
228
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
230
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
231
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
233
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
234
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
236
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
237
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
240
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
241
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
243
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
247
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
248
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
250
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
251
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
252
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
254
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
255
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
256
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
259
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
260
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
261
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
262
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
267
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
268
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
269
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
271
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
272
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
273
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
274
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
276
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
277
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
280
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
281
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
282
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
284
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
285
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
286
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
288
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
289
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
291
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
292
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
293
to complete. (Robert Collins)
295
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
296
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
298
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
299
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
300
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
302
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
303
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
304
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
306
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
307
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
308
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
309
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
311
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
312
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
313
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
314
returned. (Robert Collins)
316
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
317
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
319
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
320
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
321
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
322
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
325
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
326
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
330
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
331
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
333
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
334
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
335
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
336
makes this behavior available to other users.
339
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
340
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
348
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
349
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
350
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
352
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
354
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
355
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
356
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
357
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
359
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
360
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
364
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
365
======================
367
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
371
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
372
======================
376
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
377
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
378
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
379
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
382
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
383
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
384
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
389
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
390
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
391
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
394
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
395
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
396
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
398
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
399
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
400
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
402
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
403
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
405
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
406
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
407
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
408
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
409
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
410
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
411
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
412
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
413
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
414
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
416
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
417
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
419
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
420
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
421
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
425
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
426
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
428
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
429
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
430
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
432
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
433
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
435
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
436
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
438
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
441
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
442
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
444
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
445
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
447
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
448
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
450
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
451
(Blake Winton, #129299)
453
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
455
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
458
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
459
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
460
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
461
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
463
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
465
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
466
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
469
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
470
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
472
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
473
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
476
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
477
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
479
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
480
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
482
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
483
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
484
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
485
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
486
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
487
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
488
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
490
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
491
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
493
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
494
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
496
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
497
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
499
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
502
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
506
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
507
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
509
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
510
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
511
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
513
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
514
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
515
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
519
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
520
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
522
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
525
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
528
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
529
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
531
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
533
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
534
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
536
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
537
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
539
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
540
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
541
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
542
space). (Robert Collins)
544
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
545
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
548
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
549
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
551
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
552
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
554
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
555
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
556
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
557
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
559
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
560
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
561
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
564
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
567
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
568
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
569
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
571
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
572
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
573
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
574
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
575
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
579
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
580
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
582
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
583
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
584
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
585
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
586
affected. (Robert Collins)
588
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
589
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
590
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
593
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
594
previous release. (Martin Pool)
598
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
599
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
601
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
602
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
604
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
605
previous release. (Martin Pool)
607
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
610
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
611
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
615
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
616
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
617
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
618
its version information. (Robert Collins)
620
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
621
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
623
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
624
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
625
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
626
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
628
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
629
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
630
present. (Robert Collins)
632
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
633
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
634
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
635
API. (Robert Collins)
637
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
638
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
641
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
642
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
644
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
645
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
646
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
647
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
648
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
649
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
651
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
652
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
653
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
655
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
656
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
657
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
658
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
661
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
664
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
665
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
666
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
667
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
668
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
669
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
670
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
672
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
673
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
674
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
675
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
677
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
678
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
679
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
680
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
681
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
682
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
684
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
685
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
686
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
688
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
689
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
697
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
698
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
699
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
700
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
701
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
702
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
703
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
704
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
709
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
710
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
711
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
714
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
715
======================
719
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
720
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
721
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
722
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
723
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
725
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
728
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
732
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
733
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
736
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
737
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
740
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
743
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
744
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
746
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
747
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
749
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
750
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
752
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
753
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
755
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
756
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
758
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
763
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
764
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
766
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
767
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
769
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
770
the repository (Robert Collins)
772
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
773
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
774
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
775
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
776
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
778
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
779
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
781
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
782
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
785
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
786
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
787
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
789
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
790
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
791
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
794
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
795
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
798
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
799
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
801
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
804
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
806
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
808
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
809
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
811
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
812
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
815
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
816
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
817
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
818
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
820
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
821
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
822
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
824
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
825
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
826
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
828
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
829
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
831
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
832
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
833
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
834
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
835
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
836
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
839
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
840
(Alexander Belchenko)
842
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
843
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
845
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
846
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
848
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
850
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
851
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
855
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
856
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
857
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
858
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
860
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
862
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
865
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
866
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
867
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
868
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
869
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
870
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
874
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
875
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
876
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
877
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
879
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
880
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
881
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
882
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
883
tests have been refactored too.
886
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
887
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
888
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
892
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
893
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
894
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
896
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
897
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
898
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
899
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
900
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
901
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
902
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
904
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
905
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
906
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
907
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
910
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
911
functionality for testing.
913
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
915
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
916
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
918
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
920
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
923
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
924
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
926
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
927
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
928
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
930
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
933
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
934
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
936
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
937
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
938
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
939
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
941
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
942
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
944
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
945
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
946
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
948
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
951
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
952
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
953
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
954
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
955
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
956
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
958
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
959
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
960
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
961
many files. (Robert Collins)
963
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
964
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
965
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
966
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
970
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
971
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
972
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
974
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
975
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
977
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
978
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
979
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
987
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
990
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
991
=======================
995
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
996
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
998
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
999
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1000
(James Westby, #122656)
1002
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1003
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1005
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1006
authentication header.
1007
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1009
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1011
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1012
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1014
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1016
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1019
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1020
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1023
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1024
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1025
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1027
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1028
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1030
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1031
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1033
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1034
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1036
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1038
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1042
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1043
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1044
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1045
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1046
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1047
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1049
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1050
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1051
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1053
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1056
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1057
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1059
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1060
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1062
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1063
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1065
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1066
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1067
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1068
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1069
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1071
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1072
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1074
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1075
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1076
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1078
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1079
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1081
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1083
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1084
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1086
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1087
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1090
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1093
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1094
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1096
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1097
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1099
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1100
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1102
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1104
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1105
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1107
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1112
* Testing cleanups -
1113
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1114
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1115
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1116
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1117
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1118
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1119
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1120
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1121
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1122
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1123
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1124
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1125
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1126
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1127
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1128
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1129
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1132
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1134
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1135
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1136
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1138
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1139
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1141
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1142
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1144
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1146
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1147
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1148
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1149
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1150
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1151
same location. (Robert Collins)
1155
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1157
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1159
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1161
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1164
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1167
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1168
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1169
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1171
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1173
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1174
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1175
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1177
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1178
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1180
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1181
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1182
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1184
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1185
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1186
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1188
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1189
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1190
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1192
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1193
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1196
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1197
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1199
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1200
(Alexander Belchenko)
1204
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1205
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1206
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1207
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1209
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1210
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1211
testing. (Robert Collins)
1213
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1214
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1216
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1217
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1218
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1219
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1220
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1221
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1222
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1224
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1225
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1226
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1227
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1229
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1230
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1232
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1233
avoid useless cloning.
1234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1238
====================
1242
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1243
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1245
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1246
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1250
=======================
1252
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1254
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1255
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1256
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1257
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1258
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1259
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1260
and unlock() like so::
1262
work_tree.lock_read()
1264
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1269
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1270
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1272
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1273
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1274
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1276
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1277
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1278
too. (Robert Collins)
1282
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1283
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1286
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1287
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1289
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1290
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1292
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1293
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1294
understanding what changes have occurred
1295
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1297
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1298
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1299
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1301
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1302
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1303
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1304
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1306
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1311
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1312
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1313
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1314
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1315
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1317
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1318
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1319
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1321
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1324
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1328
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1329
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1331
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1332
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1334
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1335
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1337
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1338
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1340
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1341
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1343
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1344
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1345
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1348
====================
1352
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1353
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1354
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1355
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1356
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1358
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1359
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1360
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1362
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1363
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1367
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1368
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1369
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1371
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1372
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1373
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1374
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1376
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1377
=======================
1381
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1382
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1383
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1384
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1386
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1387
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1388
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1390
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1391
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1393
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1394
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1396
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1397
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1399
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1400
=======================
1402
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1404
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1405
it could be recovered again.
1406
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1407
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1408
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1410
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1412
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1413
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1417
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1418
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1421
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1422
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1423
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1425
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1426
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1428
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1429
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1430
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1432
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1433
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1434
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1436
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1437
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1438
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1440
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1441
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1444
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1447
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1448
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1449
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1450
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1452
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1455
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1456
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1457
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1460
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1461
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1463
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1464
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1466
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1467
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1468
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1469
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1472
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1473
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1475
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1476
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1478
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1479
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1480
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1482
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1483
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1484
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1486
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1487
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1488
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1490
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1491
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1492
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1493
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1495
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1496
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1497
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1498
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1500
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1501
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1502
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1503
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1504
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1505
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1506
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1507
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1513
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1514
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1516
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1517
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1518
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1519
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1520
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1522
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1523
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1525
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1526
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1528
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1529
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1531
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1532
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1534
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1535
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1536
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1539
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1540
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1541
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1542
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1543
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1546
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1547
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1548
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1550
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1551
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1554
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1555
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1556
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1559
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1560
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1561
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1562
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1563
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1565
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1566
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1567
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1568
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1570
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1571
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1573
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1574
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1575
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1576
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1577
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1578
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1580
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1581
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1583
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1584
help. (Robert Collins)
1586
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1587
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1589
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1590
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1591
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1592
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1593
(John Arbash Meinel)
1595
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1596
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1597
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1598
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1599
useful. (Robert Collins)
1601
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1606
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1607
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1609
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1610
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1612
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1613
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1614
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1616
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1619
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1620
the file, and does it faster.
1621
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1623
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1624
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1625
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1627
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1628
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1629
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1630
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1632
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1633
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1634
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1635
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1637
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1638
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1640
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1641
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1642
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1643
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1646
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1648
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1649
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1651
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1652
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1654
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1655
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1656
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1657
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1661
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1666
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1667
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1668
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1670
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1671
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1673
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1674
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1675
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1676
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1677
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1678
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1679
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1680
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1682
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1683
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1684
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1686
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1687
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1688
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1689
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1690
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1692
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1694
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1695
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1696
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1698
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1699
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1707
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1710
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1711
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1714
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1715
=======================
1719
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1720
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1725
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1726
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1727
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1728
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1729
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1730
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1731
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1732
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1737
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1738
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1739
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1741
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1742
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1745
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1746
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1747
(John Arbash Meinel)
1749
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1750
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1751
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1752
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1753
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1757
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1760
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1761
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1763
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1764
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1766
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1767
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1768
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1770
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1771
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1773
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1774
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1775
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1776
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1777
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1779
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1780
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1781
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1783
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1786
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1787
=======================
1789
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1791
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1792
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1793
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1797
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1798
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1800
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1801
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1803
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1805
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1806
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1808
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1809
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1813
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1818
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1819
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1820
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1821
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1823
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1824
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1826
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1827
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1829
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1832
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1833
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1836
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1837
=======================
1841
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1842
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1843
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1844
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1845
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1846
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1848
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1849
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1850
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1851
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1852
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1853
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1855
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1857
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1858
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1859
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1860
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1861
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1862
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1863
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1864
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1868
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1869
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1871
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1872
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1873
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1874
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1876
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1877
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1878
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1879
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1880
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1882
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1885
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1888
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1891
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1892
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1895
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1898
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1899
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1901
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1902
directory. (Martin Pool)
1904
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1905
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1906
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1907
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1909
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1910
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1911
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1912
in docs/configuration.txt.
1914
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1915
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1918
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1919
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1920
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1921
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1922
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1923
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1925
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1926
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1928
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1929
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1931
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1936
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1937
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1938
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1939
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1940
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1941
(John Arbash Meinel)
1943
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1944
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1947
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1948
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1949
(John Arbash Meinel)
1951
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1952
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1953
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1954
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1955
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1956
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1958
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1959
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1960
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1962
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1963
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1964
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1965
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1967
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1969
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1970
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1971
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1972
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1974
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1975
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1976
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1977
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1979
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1980
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1981
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1983
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1984
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1985
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1987
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1988
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1989
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1990
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1992
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1993
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1994
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1996
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1997
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1998
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2000
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2001
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2002
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2003
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2004
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2005
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2006
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2007
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2008
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2009
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2010
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2014
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2015
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2016
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2018
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2021
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2022
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2023
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2024
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2026
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2027
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2030
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2031
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2033
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2035
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2036
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2037
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2039
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2040
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2042
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2043
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2045
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2046
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2048
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2049
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2051
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2053
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2054
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2058
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2059
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2063
====================
2067
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2071
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2072
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2073
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2075
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2076
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2077
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2080
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2081
=======================
2085
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2086
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2087
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2088
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2090
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2093
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2094
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2095
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2097
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2098
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2100
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2103
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2104
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2105
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2106
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2107
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2108
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2110
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2111
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2112
should enable you to do::
2114
[/home/user/project]
2115
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2116
push_location:policy = appendpath
2118
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2119
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2122
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2123
for each file. For example::
2125
$ bzr status --short
2131
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2132
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2134
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2136
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2137
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2139
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2143
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2144
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2145
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2146
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2148
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2149
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2150
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2152
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2154
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2155
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2156
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2157
(Alexander Belchenko)
2159
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2162
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2163
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2165
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2169
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2170
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2172
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2173
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2174
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2175
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2176
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2178
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2179
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2181
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2182
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2184
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2186
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2188
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2189
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2190
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2191
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2192
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2194
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2195
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2196
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2197
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2199
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2200
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2202
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2203
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2205
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2206
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2208
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2209
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
2213
====================
2215
No changes from 0.13rc1
2217
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2218
=======================
2222
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2224
(Daniel Silverstone)
2226
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2227
operations are substantially faster.
2228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2230
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2231
tree from some other url. For example:
2232
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2233
(Daniel Silverstone)
2235
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2236
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2237
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2238
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2240
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2243
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2244
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2245
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2246
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2247
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2248
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2252
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2253
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2256
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2257
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2258
(John Arbash Meinel)
2260
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2261
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2262
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2263
(John Arbash Meinel)
2265
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2266
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2268
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2269
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2271
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2272
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2277
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2278
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2279
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2281
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2282
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2283
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2284
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2286
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2288
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2289
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2291
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2292
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2293
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2296
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2297
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2298
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2300
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2301
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2302
them as full references rather than integers.
2303
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2305
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2306
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2308
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2310
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2311
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2313
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2314
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2316
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2317
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2318
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2319
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2321
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2322
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2323
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2325
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2326
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2328
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2329
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2330
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2331
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2332
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2336
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2337
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2340
====================
2344
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2345
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2346
(John Arbash Meinel)
2348
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2349
=======================
2353
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2354
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2355
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2356
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2358
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2359
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2361
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2363
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2364
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2365
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2366
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2368
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2369
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2370
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2371
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2372
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2374
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2376
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2377
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2381
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2382
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2383
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2385
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2386
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2387
(John Arbash Meinel)
2389
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2390
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2391
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2393
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2394
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2397
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2398
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2399
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2401
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2402
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2403
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2404
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2405
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2406
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2408
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2409
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2410
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2413
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2414
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2418
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2419
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2420
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2423
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2424
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2426
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2427
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2428
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2430
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2431
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2433
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2434
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2435
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2436
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2438
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2439
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2441
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2442
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2443
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2445
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2446
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2448
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2450
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2451
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2456
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2457
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2458
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2459
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2461
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2462
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2463
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2466
====================
2468
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2470
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2471
=======================
2475
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2477
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2480
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2481
=======================
2485
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2486
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2487
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2488
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2489
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2490
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2491
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2493
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2494
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2495
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2497
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2499
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2500
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2502
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2503
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2504
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2507
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2508
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2509
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2510
(John Arbash Meinel)
2512
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2513
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2514
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2515
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2518
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2519
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2520
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2521
(John Arbash Meinel)
2525
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2526
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2528
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2530
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2531
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2532
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2534
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2535
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2537
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2538
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2540
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2543
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2544
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2546
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2548
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2549
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2551
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2552
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2554
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2555
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2557
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2558
(John Arbash Meinel)
2560
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2561
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2562
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2564
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2565
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2567
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2568
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2569
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2570
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2572
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2573
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2574
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2576
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2577
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2581
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2585
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2586
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2587
(John Arbash Meinel)
2589
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2590
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2591
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2592
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2594
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2597
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2598
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2599
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2601
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2602
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2604
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2605
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2606
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2608
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2609
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2610
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2611
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2612
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2613
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2614
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2615
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2616
caller to repeat their request.
2617
(John Arbash Meinel)
2619
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2620
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2622
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2623
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2625
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2626
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2627
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2628
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2629
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2630
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2631
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2633
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2634
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2635
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2636
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2637
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2638
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2639
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2640
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2643
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2644
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2645
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2647
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2648
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2650
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2651
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2653
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2654
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2658
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2659
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2661
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2662
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2663
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2665
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2666
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2667
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2670
====================
2673
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2674
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2676
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2677
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2678
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2679
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2680
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2682
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2683
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2684
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2686
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2687
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2689
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2690
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2691
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2695
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2697
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2698
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2699
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2701
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2703
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2705
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2706
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2707
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2708
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2710
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2711
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2712
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2713
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2714
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2716
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2717
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2719
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2720
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2722
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2723
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2725
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2726
in handling of revision properties.
2727
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2729
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2730
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2734
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2735
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2736
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2737
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2738
(John Arbash Meinel)
2740
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2741
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2742
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2744
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2745
=====================
2749
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2750
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2751
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2752
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2753
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2754
a more conservative list than the old default.
2755
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2756
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2757
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2758
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2760
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2761
to more locations than just branch locations.
2766
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2767
revno:N:branch. For example,
2768
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2769
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2771
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2772
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2773
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2774
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2775
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2776
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2777
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2778
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2781
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2782
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2783
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2786
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2787
(Alexander Belchenko)
2789
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2791
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2794
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2795
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2796
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2797
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2798
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2799
(John Arbash Meinel)
2801
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2802
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2803
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2804
grained analysis of performance.
2805
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2807
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2808
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2810
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2811
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2812
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2813
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2814
file. (Robert Collins).
2816
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2817
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2818
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2820
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2821
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2824
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2825
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2827
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2828
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2829
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2830
the same way you would apply another branch.
2831
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2833
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2834
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2836
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2839
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2842
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2843
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2844
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2846
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2847
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2848
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2850
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2851
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2853
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2854
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2855
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2856
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2857
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2859
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2860
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2862
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2863
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2864
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2865
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2866
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2867
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2868
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2869
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2871
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2872
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2873
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2877
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2879
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2881
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2882
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2884
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2885
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2887
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2888
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2890
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2892
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2893
(John Arbash Meinel)
2895
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2896
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2898
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2899
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2902
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2903
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2905
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2906
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2908
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2909
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2910
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2911
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2913
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2914
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2916
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2918
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2919
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2921
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2923
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2925
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2926
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2928
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2929
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2931
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2932
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2933
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2935
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2936
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2937
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2939
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2940
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2942
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2943
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2945
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2946
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2948
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2949
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2951
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2952
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2954
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2955
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2956
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2958
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2960
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2961
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2965
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2966
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2967
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2969
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2970
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2972
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2973
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2974
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2976
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2977
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2979
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2980
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2983
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2984
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2985
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2987
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2988
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2989
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2991
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2992
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2993
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2995
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2996
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2997
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2999
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3000
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3001
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3003
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3004
instead. (Robert Collins)
3006
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3008
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3009
=====================
3013
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3015
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3016
=====================
3020
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3021
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3023
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3024
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3026
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3027
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3028
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3032
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3034
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3035
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3037
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3041
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3042
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3043
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3044
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3048
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3049
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3050
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3054
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3055
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3056
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3060
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3061
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3066
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3068
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3069
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3070
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3071
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3072
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3073
will keep the same format.
3075
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3076
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3077
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3078
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3079
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3081
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3082
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3083
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3084
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3085
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3086
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3087
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3089
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3090
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3091
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3092
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3093
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3095
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3096
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3097
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3103
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3104
convention. Paths now take the form::
3106
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3108
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3110
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3111
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3113
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3114
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3115
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3117
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3118
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3119
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3120
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3122
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3123
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3124
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3126
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3128
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3130
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3131
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3134
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3135
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3138
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3140
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3141
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3142
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3145
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3147
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3149
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3152
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3153
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3155
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3156
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3159
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3160
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3163
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3165
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3167
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3168
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3170
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3171
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3172
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3173
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3174
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3175
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3177
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3179
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3180
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3183
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3184
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3186
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3187
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3189
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3191
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3192
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3193
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3194
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3195
specification by Martin Pool.
3196
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3198
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3201
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3202
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3204
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3205
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3206
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3208
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3210
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3211
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3216
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3217
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3219
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3221
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3223
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3226
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3227
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3228
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3229
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3233
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3234
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3235
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3236
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3238
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3239
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3240
tried. (Martin Pool)
3242
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3245
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3247
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3248
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3249
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3251
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3252
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3254
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3255
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3256
paths. (Robert Collins)
3258
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3259
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3260
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3262
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3263
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3264
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3266
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3267
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3268
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3270
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3273
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3276
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3278
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3280
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3281
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3282
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3285
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3286
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3288
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3289
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3290
check. (Robert Collins)
3292
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3293
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3297
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3298
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3300
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3301
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3302
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3303
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3305
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3306
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3307
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3308
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3309
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3311
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3312
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3313
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3315
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3317
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3318
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3325
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3326
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3328
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3329
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3330
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3333
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3334
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3336
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3337
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3338
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3339
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3340
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3342
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3343
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3344
used. (Robert Collins)
3346
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3347
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3350
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3351
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3352
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3354
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3357
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3358
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3362
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3363
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3365
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3367
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3369
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3370
tree. (Robert Collins)
3372
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3373
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3374
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3377
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3380
* Tweaks to short log printing
3382
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3385
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3386
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3388
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3389
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3391
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3392
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3394
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3395
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3396
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3398
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3399
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3401
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3402
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3405
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3406
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3408
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3409
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3411
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3412
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3414
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3417
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3418
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3420
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3421
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3423
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3424
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3425
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3429
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3431
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3433
* Error when run with -OO
3435
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3438
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3440
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3442
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3443
ignored by diff and status
3445
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3446
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3448
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3450
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3452
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3453
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3455
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3456
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3458
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3461
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3462
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3464
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3466
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3467
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3469
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3472
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3473
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3475
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3479
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3480
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3482
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3484
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3486
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3488
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3489
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3490
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3492
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3494
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3495
(John Arbash Meinel)
3497
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3499
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3500
If adding a new test script please add that to
3501
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3503
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3504
imported. (Martin Pool)
3506
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3507
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3508
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3509
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3510
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3513
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3514
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3515
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3517
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3518
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3519
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3521
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3522
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3523
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3524
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3525
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3528
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3529
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3534
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3535
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3537
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3538
function. (Robert Collins)
3540
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3541
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3542
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3544
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3545
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3548
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3549
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3550
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3551
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3552
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3553
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3554
version. (Robert Collins)
3556
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3557
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3559
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3560
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3561
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3562
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3563
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3564
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3566
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3569
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3579
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3581
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3583
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3586
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3587
query method. (Robert Collins)
3589
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3592
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3595
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3598
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3599
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3600
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3601
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3603
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3604
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3605
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3606
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3608
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3609
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3616
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3619
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3623
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3624
a separator, not ':'.
3627
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3628
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3629
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3631
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3632
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3635
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3636
has been added that suppresses all output.
3638
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3641
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3642
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3644
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3645
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3647
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3648
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3650
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3651
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3652
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3653
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3655
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3657
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3658
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3660
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3661
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3663
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3664
output directory, if one was supplied.
3666
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3667
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3668
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3669
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3671
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3673
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3674
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3676
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3677
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3678
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3680
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3681
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3683
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3686
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3688
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3692
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3693
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3694
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3696
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3697
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3698
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3700
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3701
is given. (Martin Pool)
3703
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3704
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3705
file. (Robert Collins)
3707
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3712
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3713
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3714
representation. (Martin Pool).
3716
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3717
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3718
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3720
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3723
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3724
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3727
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3728
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3729
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3730
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3731
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3733
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3734
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3735
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3736
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3737
python path. (Robert Collins)
3739
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3740
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3741
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3742
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3744
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3745
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3747
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3748
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3751
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3752
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3753
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3755
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3756
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3757
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3759
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3760
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3762
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3763
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3764
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3767
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3768
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3769
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3770
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3773
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3776
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3777
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3780
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3781
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3782
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3784
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3785
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3786
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3788
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3789
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3790
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3792
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3793
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3795
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3796
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3797
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3798
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3799
caller. (Robert Collins)
3801
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3802
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3805
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3806
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3809
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3811
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3812
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3816
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3817
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3819
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3820
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3823
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3824
====================
3828
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3829
allow directories to be listed.
3831
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3832
upgrading branch format.
3836
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3844
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3845
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3846
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3847
high-latency connections.
3851
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3854
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3855
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3857
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3858
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3859
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3860
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3862
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3863
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3865
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3866
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3868
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3869
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3870
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3872
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3873
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3874
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3877
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3878
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3880
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3881
different partial views of history.
3883
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3884
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3888
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3889
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3890
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3892
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3893
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3896
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3897
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3899
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3902
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3903
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3905
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3906
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3907
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3908
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3910
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3912
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3913
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3916
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.

* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3920
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3921
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3926
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3927
for your viewing pleasure.
3929
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3930
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3932
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3933
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3934
handling of such circumstances.
3936
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3937
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3938
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3940
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3942
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3943
we call them revisions not patches.
3945
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3946
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3948
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3949
giving the revision *of that file*.
3951
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3952
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3953
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3957
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3958
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3960
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3961
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3964
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3965
====================
3969
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3971
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3974
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3976
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3978
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3979
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3983
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3984
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3986
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3987
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3988
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3989
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3992
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3993
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3997
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3999
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4000
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4003
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4004
====================
4008
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4009
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4010
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4011
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4014
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4017
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4018
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4019
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4020
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4021
for the operating system is still tried.
4023
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4024
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4025
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4030
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4034
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4036
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4039
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4045
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4047
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4050
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4051
====================
4055
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4056
help with intelligent shell completion.
4058
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4063
* Much better merge support.
4065
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4066
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4072
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4073
mention revisions that are not present.
4075
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4077
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4079
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4080
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4085
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4087
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4088
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4094
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4095
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4100
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4101
====================
4105
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4106
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4108
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4110
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4111
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4113
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4116
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4118
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4121
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4122
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4124
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4125
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4126
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4131
* Faster working tree operations.
4136
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4137
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4138
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4139
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4141
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4142
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4143
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4144
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4145
standard plugins directory.
4147
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4148
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4149
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4150
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4152
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4153
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4155
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4158
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4159
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4160
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4162
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4163
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4165
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4166
line options must come before the command name because they
4167
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4168
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4171
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4173
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4174
is available with ``--short``.
4179
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4182
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4183
=====================
4187
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4188
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4190
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4191
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4192
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4193
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4195
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4196
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4197
with the ``--forward`` option.
4199
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4200
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4206
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4207
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4209
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4211
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4212
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4214
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4216
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4217
either read or write mode.
4219
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4221
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4224
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4226
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4227
suggested by LarstiQ.
4229
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4230
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4232
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4235
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4236
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4238
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4239
haven't changed since the previous time.
4241
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4242
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4244
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4246
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4248
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4249
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4251
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4252
options through to an external GNU diff.
4254
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4257
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4263
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4264
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4266
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4272
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4273
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4276
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4277
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4279
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4280
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4282
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4283
under a different version.
4285
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4290
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4292
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4293
Scott James Remnant.
4295
* Better help messages for many commands.
4297
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4298
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4300
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4301
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4303
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4305
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4307
* New AtomicFile class.
4309
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4314
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4315
2.4 is now only recommended.
4318
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4319
=====================
4323
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4324
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4326
* More default ignore patterns.
4328
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4329
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4331
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4333
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4336
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4341
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4342
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4343
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4344
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4345
there are DNS problems.
4347
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4352
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4354
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4356
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4357
trailing newlines properly.
4362
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4365
* More tests in test.sh.
4367
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4368
directory and delete it when done.
4370
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4375
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4378
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4382
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
4383
=====================
4387
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
4390
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
4392
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4395
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4398
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4400
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4404
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4405
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4410
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4411
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4416
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
4420
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
4428
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
4431
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
4432
===================================
4436
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4438
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4439
rather than replacing it.
4441
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4445
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4448
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4449
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4451
* Performance improvements.
4453
* New global --profile option.
4455
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4456
the root directory only.
4459
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
4460
=====================
4464
* More information from info command.
4466
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
4468
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
4469
committing to stores.
4471
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4475
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
4479
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4480
installation easier.
4482
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4486
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22

96
* Tweak an RPC implementation for ``Repository.get_parent_map``, it was
97
doing an inefficient ``small_set.difference_update(large_set)`` when we
98
can do ``small_set = small_set.difference(large_set)``. This speeds up

145
before. Providing the wrappers is enough as far as 2.3 is concerned.

External Compatibility Breaks
179
*****************************
191
* Getting all entries from ``CHKInventory.iter_entries_by_dir()`` has been
192
sped up dramatically for large trees. Iterating by dir is not the best
193
way to load data from a CHK inventory, so it preloads all the items in
194
the correct order. (With the gcc-tree, this changes it (re)reading 8GB
195
of CHK data, down to just 150MB.) This has noticeable affects for things
196
like building checkouts, etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #737234)
201
* Bazaar now infers the default user email address on Unix from the local
202
account name plus the contents of ``/etc/mailname`` if that file exists.
203
In particular, this means that committing as root through etckeeper will
204
normally not require running ``bzr whoami`` first.
205
(Martin Pool, #616878)
207
* ``bzr merge --preview --pull`` should respect the ``--preview`` option
208
first, and not actually change the branch tip revision.
209
(John Arbash Meinel, Dennis Duchier, #760152)
211
* ``bzr push`` into a repository (that doesn't have a branch), will no
212
longer copy all revisions in the repository. Only the ones in the
213
ancestry of the source branch, like it does in all other cases.
214
(John Arbash Meinel, #465517)
216
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
217
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
218
(Martin Pool, #733136)
220
* Fix "Unable to obtain lock" error when pushing to a bound branch if tags
221
had changed. Bazaar was attempting to open and lock the master branch
222
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)
224
* Standalone bzr.exe installation on Windows: user can put additional python
225
libraries into ``site-packages`` subdirectory of the installation directory,
226
this might be required for "installing" extra dependencies for some plugins.
227
(Alexander Belchenko, #743256)

* When reporting a crash without apport, don't print the full list of
230
plugins because it's often too long.
231
(Martin Pool, #716389)
242
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
243
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
244
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
245
has been added in the interim
246
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed

* Fix "AssertionError: repository.user_url ... does not match URL from
267
server response" when reusing a smart transport.
268
(Andrew Bennetts, #726584)
270
* Restore proper logging of bytes transferred. We accidentally reset the
271
counter when commands finished before we logged the total transferred.
272
(John Arbash Meinel, #713258)
279
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we
280
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it
281
until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1
282
and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned
283
to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.)
285
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number
286
of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have
287
been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related
288
branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better
291
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
292
known fixed bugs are included here.
294
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
301
This is the fifth and **last** beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
302
release in February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause
303
some incompatibilities with plugins.
305
2.3b5 includes bug fixes for committing to stacked branches, smoother upgrades
306
of multiple branches, compatibility with python-2.7, full test suite passing
307
on Ubuntu Natty and windows, less round-trips for several smart server
308
operations, better support text conflicts resolve actions and some more.
310
All known fixed bugs in other series (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) are also included here.
312
External Compatibility Breaks
313
*****************************
320
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
321
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
322
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
323
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
325
* ``ControlDir.sprout`` no longer opens the target repository more than
326
once. This avoids some unnecessary IO, and removes a network roundtrip
327
when doing ``bzr branch`` to a smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts)
329
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
330
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
332
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
333
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
334
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
335
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
337
* ``bzr tags``'s "sort" argument now allows registering custom sort
338
methods using the ``bzrlib.tag.tag_sort_methods`` registry.
339
(Jelmer Vernooij, #701244)
341
* ``bt.test_http`` was breaking ``os.environ`` by erasing the values saved by
342
``TestCase`` leading to ``bt.test_import_tariff`` failures.
343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
345
* ``upgrade`` now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is
346
specified. It also supports new options: ``--dry-run`` for showing what
347
will happen and ``--clean`` to remove the backup directory on successful
348
completion. (Ian Clatworthy, Matthew Fuller, #89830, #374734, #422450)
353
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
354
or undesirable results.
356
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
357
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
359
* ``bzr break-lock`` on a corrupted lock file works correctly, rather than
360
raising a PermissionDenied error. We were accidentally holding open the
361
file we were trying to delete. (John Arbash Meinel, #659978)
363
* ``bzr update`` in a checkout of a readonly branch works again, without
364
trying to set the tags in the master branch. This had been broken by the
365
bug fix for bug #603395. (John Arbash Meinel, #701212)
367
* Per-transport tests now prefer to use ``Transport.get_bytes()`` rather
368
than ``Transport.get().read()``. The SFTP code uses an async message to
369
close the file handle if you let the handle die from refcounting, while
370
it uses a synchronous message if you close it directly. This should help
371
prevent random test suite failures from race conditions.
372
(John Arbash Meinel, #681047)
374
* Stop using ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile``. It is incompatible with
375
python-2.7 and was only used for Knit format repositories, which haven't
376
been recommended since 2007. The file itself will be removed in the next
377
release. (John Arbash Meinel)
379
* The BZR_COLUMNS environment variable can be set to 0 to indicate no
380
limitation on the width of the terminal. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #675652)
382
* Treat WSAECONNABORTED the same as WSAECONNRESET for the purposes of
383
considering a smart data stream as being interrupted. This fixes a
384
failure in the windows test suite, that was trying to ensure we cleanly
385
handled a server disconnect. (John Arbash Meinel, #581311, #686587)
387
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
388
the directory properly rather than crashing.
389
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
391
* You are now able to commit directly to a stacked branch. Any needed
392
parent inventories will be filled in as part of the commit process.
393
(John Arbash Meinel, #375013)
398
* Better document the rules to update the bzr freshmeat page when
399
doing a release. (Vincent Ladeuil, #690515)
404
* ``Branch.sprout``, ``BranchFormat.initalize`` and
405
``ControlDir.create_branch`` now take an optional ``repository`` keyword
406
argument, and ``BranchFormat.open`` now takes an optional
407
``found_repository`` keyword argument. These provide the repository
408
object for new branch object to use (for cases when the caller has
409
already opened that repository). Implementations of these APIs will
410
need to be updated to accept these arguments. (Andrew Bennetts)
412
* ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile`` is now deprecated and will be removed in
413
the bzr-2.4 series. Code that was using it can just use the python
414
stdlib ``gzip.GzipFile``. (John Arbash Meinel)
420
* ``bzrlib.tests`` defines ``isolated_environ`` with the definitions of all
421
the environment variables the tests should care about. It also defines
422
``override_os_environ`` and ``restore_os_environ`` to properly implement
423
isolation from ``os.environ`` for tests. ``bzrlib.tests`` now defines a
424
``DocTestSuite`` class using this facility for all ``bzrlib``
425
doctests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #321320)
427
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
428
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
430
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
433
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
434
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
436
* ``TestCase._captureVar`` and ``TestCase._old_env`` have been deleted due to
437
bug #690563. Test writers are encouraged to use ``TestCase.overrideEnv``
438
instead. (Vincent Ladeuil)
440
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
441
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)
448
This is the fourth beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0 release in
449
February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
450
incompatibilities with plugins.
452
2.3b4 includes bug fixes for the ``config`` command and conflict
453
resolution. More changes were made for the test scripts handling to make it
454
easier to add reproducing recipes to bugs.
456
It also includes bug fixes from the 2.2.2 release as well as the bug fixes
457
in the upcoming 2.0.7, 2.1.4 and 2.2.3 releases. This means that all known
458
fixed bugs at the time of this release are included.
461
External Compatibility Breaks
462
*****************************
469
* Bazaar now caches a branch's tags while that branch is read-locked.
470
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
471
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
473
* ``bzr config <option>`` will now display only the value itself so scripts
474
can use it to query the currently active configuration. Displaying several
475
options matching a given regular expression is now controlled via the
476
``--all`` option. (Vincent Ladeuil, bug #670251)
478
* ``bzr resolve`` now reports the number of conflicts resolved and the
479
number of remaining conflicts. This provides a better feedback about the
480
whole resolution process. (Vincent Ladeuil)
482
* Read configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bazaar on Unix if there is
483
already a directory there. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #195397)
488
* Better message if there is an error while setting ownership of
489
``.bazaar`` directory. (Parth Malwankar, #657553)
491
* ``bzr config`` properly displays list values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #672382)
493
* ``bzr config`` will now respect option policies when displaying the value
494
and display the definition sections when appropriate.
495
(Vincent Ladeuil, #671050)
497
* Don't create commit message files in the current directory to avoid nasty
498
interactions with emacs (which tries to establish the status of the file
499
during the commit which breaks on windows). (Vincent Ladeuil, #673637)
501
* ``bzr resolve --take-other <file>`` will not crash anymore if ``<file>``
502
is involved in a text conflict (but the conflict is still not
503
resolved). (Vincent Ladeuil, #646961)
505
* Merge will now correctly locate a lca where there is a criss-cross merge
506
of a new root. (Gary van der Merwe, #588698)
508
* Report error if non-ASCII command option given. (Rory Yorke, #140563)
510
* ``tools/check-newsbug.py`` is now based on ``lp:hydrazine`` and no longer
511
crashes when encountering private bugs (they are just displayed as such).
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #354985)
517
* ``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts parent_ids == [].
518
This can be used to create a new root in the graph. (Gary van der Merwe)
520
* Old repository development formats
521
RepositoryFormatCHK1 and RepositoryFormatCHK2 have been removed, and so
522
have the corresponding metadir format options ``development-rich-root``,
523
``development6-rich-root``, and ``development7-rich-root``.
528
* Add a null_output_matches_anything keyword argument with default False to
529
bzrlib.tests.script.ScriptRunner.run_script to specify that the command
530
output should not be checked (as opposed to expecting an empty output).
531
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #662509)
533
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
534
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
535
(Martin Pool, #637830)
537
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
538
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
539
written. (Martin [gz])
541
* Introduce an ``overrideEnv()`` helper for tests that needs to change the
542
environment variables while respecting the isolation rules. Get rid of
543
TestCase._restoreEnvironment which is now useless.
544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
546
* Printing selftest results to a non-UTF-8 console will now escape characters
547
that can't be encoded rather than aborting the test run with an exception.
548
(Martin [gz], #633216)
556
External Compatibility Breaks
557
*****************************
564
* Add --no-tree option to 'bzr push' and 'bzr init' for creating a
565
new or mirrored branch without working trees.
566
(Matthew Gordon, #506730)
568
* ``bzr config`` is a new command that displays the configuration options for
569
a given directory. It accepts a glob to match against multiple options at
570
once. It can also be used to set or delete a configuration option in any
571
configuration file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
573
* New shortcut URL schemes ``ubuntu:`` and ``debianlp:`` access source
574
branches on Launchpad. E.g. ``bzr branch ubuntu:foo`` gives you the source
575
branch for project ``foo`` in the current distroseries for Ubuntu while
576
``bzr branch debianlp:lenny/foo`` gives you the source branch (on Launchpad)
577
for project ``foo`` in Debian Lenny.
578
(Barry Warsaw, #609186)
580
* Provide a configuration option "default_format" that controls the
581
default format for new branches created with ``bzr init``.
582
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #484101)
587
* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
589
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
590
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
592
* Correctly add directory contents when the name was previously added as a
593
normal file, rather than throwing ``AttributeError: children`` during
594
smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
596
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
597
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
598
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
599
the base directory for the other paths. (Vincent Ladeuil, #670851)
601
* Correctly set the Content-Type header when HTTP POSTing to comply
602
with stricter web frameworks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #665100)
604
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
605
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
607
* Fix ``KeyError: 'port'`` when getting the stored password for an HTTP URL.
608
(Martin Pool, #654684)
610
* Make ``bzr tag --quiet`` really quiet. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #239523)
612
* Missing files (files bzr add'ed and then OS deleted) are now shown in ``bzr
613
status`` output. (Rory Yorke, #134168)
615
* ``NotBranchError`` no longer allows errors from calling
616
``bzrdir.open_repository()`` to propagate. This is unhelpful at best,
617
and at worst can trigger infinite loops in callers. (Andrew Bennetts)
619
* The ``branch.tags.merge_to(target_branch)`` API used by plugins such as
620
``bzr-builddeb`` now propagates changes to the master branch of the
621
target branch (if there is one). This makes it consistent with the
622
other tag APIs. (Andrew Bennetts, #603395)
624
* Windows installers no longer requires the Microsoft vcredist to be
625
installed. (Martin [gz], Gary van der Merwe, #632465)
630
* Add documentation of the ability to edit hunks when shelving.
631
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #517660)
633
* Be more specific about the meaning of revision ranges for ``bzr diff``.
634
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #247282)
636
* Document the comment character in the .bzrignore file, including a
637
workaround for ignore patterns that begin with #.
638
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #631515)
643
* Add ``bzrlib.pyutils`` module with helper functions for some Python
644
tasks such as resolving a dotted name to a Python object
645
(``get_named_object``). (Andrew Bennetts)
647
* ``bzrlib.tests.ForwardingResult`` no longer exists. Use
648
``testtools.ExtendedToOriginalDecorator`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
650
* ``known_hooks_key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in ``bzrlib.hooks`` has been
651
deprecated in favour of ``known_hooks.key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in
652
the same module. (Andrew Bennetts)
657
* ``tools/fixed-in.py`` find a bug in NEWS from its number or a regexp
658
matching the news entry and display the corresponding release, date, fix
659
authors and the news entry itself. (Vincent Ladeuil)
664
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
665
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
666
(Martin Pool, #637830)
668
* ``bzr test-script script`` is a new command that runs a shell-like script
669
from an the ``script`` file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
671
* Fix spurious test failures on babune related to the http pipe cleanup and
672
get rid of some 'bytes left on the HTTP socket' useless log messages.
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #655557)
675
* ``bzrlib.tests.per_workingtree.TestCaseWithWorkingTree.make_branch_builder``
676
respects its ``relpath`` parameter. (Vincent Ladeuil)
683
External Compatibility Breaks
684
*****************************
686
* The ``bzr tags`` command sorts tag names using a natural sort by
687
default (so tag2 sorts before tag10). The previous default was
688
strictly "asciibetical". That behavior is still available as ``bzr tags
689
--sort=alpha``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #640760)
691
* ``BzrDir.generate_backup_name`` has been deprecated and replaced by a
692
private method. ``osutils.available_backup_name`` provides an extensible
693
replacement. This allowed the deprecation of
694
``bzrlib.transform.get_backup_name``,
695
``bzrlib.transform._get_backup_name`` and
696
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.has_named_child``.
702
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
703
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
705
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
706
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
708
* Add ``-Dmem_dump`` debug flag, which uses meliae to dump memory to
709
a file upon an out of memory error.
710
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
712
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
713
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
715
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
717
* GNU lsh is now a supported lsh client; just set BZR_SSH to 'lsh'.
718
Also, bzr will recognize if the 'ssh' comand is a symlink to lsh.
719
(Matthew Gordon, #374700)
721
* The ``pull`` and ``update`` commands now take a ``--show-base``
722
option that, in the case of conflicts, shows the base revision text.
723
(Rory Yorke, #202374)
728
* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
729
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
730
(Martin Pool, #397315)
732
* ``bzr remove`` now takes a ``--no-backup`` option for when you don't want it
733
to backup anything, just delete it. This option used to be called ``--force``
734
which is now deprecated.
735
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
737
* When using the pycurl client module, Bazaar shows some of the text from
738
HTTP server error messages.
739
(Martin Pool, #656667)
744
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
745
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
747
* Fix signature of RemoteBzrDir.create_workingtree to match that of its
748
superclass. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Martin Pool, #524627)
750
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
751
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
753
* Print junk rather than throwing a UnicodeDecodeError from ``bzr version-info``
754
when using the rio format (with non-ascii information) on a non-utf-8
755
terminal. (Andrej A Antonov, #518609)
757
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
758
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
760
* ``unshelve --preview`` now can show diff in a non-ascii encoding.
761
(Andrej A Antonov, #518916)
763
* Deleting a versioned directory can leave orphans: unversioned files that
764
were present don't have a parent anymore. The
765
``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option controls the ``bzr``
766
behaviour: ``conflict`` (the default) leave the orphans in place and
767
create a conflict for the directory, ``move`` create orphans named
768
``<file>.~#~`` in a ``bzr-orphans`` directory at the root of the working
769
tree. (Vincent Ladeuil, #323111)
777
* Correct the documentation for setting up the smart server with Apache.
778
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #311518)
780
* Fix rst typos in bzrlib/help_topics/en/conflict-types.txt.
781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #660943)
783
* Provide more detailed help on the Launchpad plugin at "bzr help
784
plugins/launchpad". (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #589379)
786
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
787
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
792
* ``WorkingTree`` methods ``pull``, ``update``, and ``_update_tree``
793
now have an optional argument, ``show_base``, which is by default
794
False. This is flag is ultimately passed to ``merge.merge_inner``
795
in each case. (Rory Yorke, #202374)
800
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
801
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
803
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
804
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
805
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
810
* Add a new simpler way to generate multiple test variations, by setting
811
the `scenarios` attribute of a test class to a list of scenarios
812
descriptions, then using `load_tests_apply_scenarios`. (See the testing
813
guide and `bzrlib.tests.scenarios`.) Simplify `test_http` using this.
814
(Martin Pool, #597791)
816
* Add ``tests/ssl_certs/ca.crt`` to the required test files list. Test
817
involving the pycurl https test server fail otherwise when running
818
selftest from an installed version. (Vincent Ladeuil, #651706)
820
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
821
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
823
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
824
needed to successfully run the test suite for installed versions.
825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
827
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
830
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
831
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
832
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
834
* Use tests.TestCaseInTempDir for tests that requires disk resources.
835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #650001)
842
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
843
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
844
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
845
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
847
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
848
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
849
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
850
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
851
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
852
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
853
through the 2.3 series.
855
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
859
External Compatibility Breaks
860
*****************************
867
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
868
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
869
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
871
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
872
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
874
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
875
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
876
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
877
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
878
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
880
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
881
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
882
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
883
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
885
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
886
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
891
* Allow using both ``--using`` and ``--diff-options``.
892
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
894
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
895
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
897
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
898
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
899
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
900
will be backed up (adding an extension of the form .~#~).
901
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
903
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
904
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
907
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
908
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
909
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
910
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
911
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
914
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
915
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
916
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
917
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
918
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
920
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
921
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
922
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
924
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
925
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
926
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
928
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text when writing to pack
930
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
932
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
933
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
934
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
935
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
936
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
937
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
939
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
940
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
941
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
946
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
947
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
948
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
950
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
951
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
952
marked versioned too.
953
(Martin Pool, #192859)
955
* ``bzr clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
956
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
957
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
959
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
960
target of the symlink.
961
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
963
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
964
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
966
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
968
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
969
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
970
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
972
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
973
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
975
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
976
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
979
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
980
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
982
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
983
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
985
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
986
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
988
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
989
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
991
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
992
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
994
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
995
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
996
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
998
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
999
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
1001
* Errors occurring during HTTP(S) test server starts should now be
1002
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
1004
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1005
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1006
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1008
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
1009
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
1010
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
1011
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
1013
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
1014
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
1016
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1017
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1018
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1020
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
1021
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
1022
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
1023
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
1025
* Fix a problem in bzr's ``Makefile`` that meant syntax errors in some
1026
parts of bzr's source code could cause ``make check-nodocs`` to
1027
incorrectly return an exit code of 0.
1028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
1030
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
1031
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
1033
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
1034
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
1035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
1037
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
1038
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
1039
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
1040
(Martin [gz], #631350)
1042
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
1043
(Martin Pool, #98735)
1045
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1046
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1047
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1048
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1050
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1051
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1053
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1054
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1055
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1056
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1057
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1059
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1060
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1061
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1062
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1064
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
1065
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
1066
(Martin [gz], #254278)
1068
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
1069
users to attach to their own processes by default.
1070
(Martin Pool, #626679)
1072
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
1073
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
1074
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
1076
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
1077
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
1080
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
1081
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
1082
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
1083
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
1088
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
1089
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
1090
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
1092
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
1093
to make the tests conditional.
1096
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
1097
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
1098
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
1103
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1104
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1105
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1106
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1108
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
1109
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
1110
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
1113
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
1114
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
1116
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
1118
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
1119
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
1120
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
1121
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
1122
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
1124
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
1125
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
1127
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
1128
`bzrlib.controldir`.
1132
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
1133
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
1134
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
1135
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1137
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
1138
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
1139
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
1140
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
1141
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1143
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
1144
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
1145
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
1146
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
1149
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
1150
relative change in revno.
1153
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
1157
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
1158
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
1159
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1161
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
1162
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
1163
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
1164
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
1165
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
1166
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
1167
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
1168
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
1170
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
1171
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
1173
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
1174
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
1177
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
1178
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
1184
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
1190
* Avoid spurious failures in ssh tests: wait for the SSH server to
1191
actually finish, rather than just waiting for it to negotiate the key
1192
exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
1194
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
1195
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1197
* Catch socket errors to avoid
1198
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
1199
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
1201
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
1202
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
1204
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
1205
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
1207
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
1208
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
1210
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
1211
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
1212
macrobenchmark suite.
1215
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
1216
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
1219
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
1220
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
1221
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
1222
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
1223
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
1224
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
1225
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1227
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
1228
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
1229
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
1230
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
