Compatibility Breaks
15
********************
16
17
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
18
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
19
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.

New Features
23
************
24
25
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
26
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
27
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
28
29
Bug Fixes
30
*********
31
32
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
33
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
34
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
35
36
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
37
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
38
39
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
40
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
41
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
42
43
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
44
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
45
46
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
47
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
48
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
49
50
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
51
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
52
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
53
54
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
55
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
56
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
57
(Robert Collins, #177500)
58
59
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
60
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
61
62
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
63
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
64
65
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
66
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
67
(Martin Pool)
68
69
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
70
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
71
72
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
73
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
74
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
75
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
76
77
Improvements
78
************
79
80
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
81
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
82
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
83
84
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
85
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
86
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
87
(Robert Collins, #201613)
88
89
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
90
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
91
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
92
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
93
(Andrew Bennetts)

Documentation
96
*************
97
98
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
99
100
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
101
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
102
development). (Robert Collins)
103
104
API Changes
105
***********
106
107
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
108
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
109
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
110
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
111
112
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
113
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
114
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
115
116
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
117
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
118
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
119
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
120
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
121
122
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
123
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
124
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
125
126
Internals
127
*********
128
129
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)

bzr 2.2b3
136
#########
137
138
:2.2b3: 2010-05-28
139
140
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
141
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
142
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
143
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
144
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
145
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
146
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
147
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
148
support.
149
150
Compatibility Breaks
151
********************
152
153
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
154
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
155
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
156
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
157
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
158
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
159
(Robert Collins)
160
161
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
162
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
163
whoami``.
164
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
165
166
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
167
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
168
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
169
170
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
171
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
172
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
173
174
New Features
175
************
176
177
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
178
``--show-diff``.
179
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
180
181
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
182
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
183
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
184
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
185
186
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
187
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
188
pack operation.
189
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
190
191
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
192
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
193
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
194
195
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
196
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
197
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
198
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
199
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
200
201
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
202
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
203
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
204
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
205
206
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
207
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
208
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
209
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.
210
(Mattias Eriksson)
211
212
Bug Fixes
213
*********
214
215
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
216
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
217
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
218
219
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
220
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
221
better with sudo.
222
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
223
224
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
225
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
226
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
227
228
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
229
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
230
231
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
232
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
233
difference).
234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
235
236
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
237
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
238
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
239
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
240
(Robert Collins, #583667)
241
242
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
243
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
244
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
245
246
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
248
249
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
251
252
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
253
(Aaron Bentley)
254
255
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
256
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
257
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
258
Python.
259
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
260
261
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
263
264
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
265
versions before 1.6.
266
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
267
268
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
269
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
270
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
271
272
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
273
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
274
275
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
276
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
277
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
278
279
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
280
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
281
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
282
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
283
284
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
285
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
286
to support this efficiently.
287
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
288
289
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
290
more comprehensible.
291
(Martin Pool, #491763)
292
293
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
294
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
295
296
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
297
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
298
299
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
300
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
301
messages.
302
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
303
304
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
305
(Robert Collins, #558343)
306
307
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
308
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
309
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
310
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
311
312
Improvements
313
************
314
315
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
316
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
317
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
318
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
319
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
320
(case-sensitive) as false.
321
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
322
323
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
324
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
325
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
326
327
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
328
be interpreted as a boolean.

spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
142
143
* Remove the deprecation decorators for ``failUnlessExists`` and
144
``failIfExists``. The deprecation "will" occur in 2.4, not
145
before. Providing the wrappers is enough as far as 2.3 is concerned.

* 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

* 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)

222
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)

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.)
284
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
289
conflict resolution.

on Ubuntu Natty and windows, less round-trips for several smart server
308

************
319
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)
324
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)
328
329
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
330
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
331
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)
336
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)
340
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)
344
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)

.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
354

355
356
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
357
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
358
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)
362
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)
366
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)
373
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)
378
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)
381
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)
386
387
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
388
the directory properly rather than crashing.
389
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
390
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.

403
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)
411
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)

419
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)
426
427
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
428
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
429
430
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)

* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
434
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
435
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)
439
440

smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
595
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 ``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

648
``testtools.ExtendedToOriginalDecorator`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
649
650
* ``known_hooks_key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in ``bzrlib.hooks`` has been

External Compatibility Breaks
684
*****************************
685
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)
690
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``.

331
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
332
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
333
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
334
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
335
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])

New Features
700
************
701
702
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
703
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
704
705
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
706
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
707
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)
711
712
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
713
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
714
hook.
715
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
716
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)

(Martin Pool, #397315)
731
732
* ``bzr remove`` now takes a ``--no-backup`` option for when you don't want it
733

734
which is now deprecated.
735

* 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

344
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
345
(Andrew Bennetts)
346
347
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
348
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
349
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
350
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
351
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
352
implementations.
353
(Martin Pool)
354
355
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
356
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
357
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
358
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
359
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
360
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
361
362
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
363
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
364
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
365
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
366
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
367
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
368
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
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``

the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
375
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
376

377
378
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
379
(Robert Collins)
380
381
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
382
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
383
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
384
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
385
at worst.
386
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
387
388
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
389
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
390
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
391
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
392
393
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
394
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.

(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #66923)
800
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
801
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
802
803
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
804

437
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
438
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
440

450
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
451
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
452
453
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
454

463
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
464
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
465
466
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
467
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
468
which is not installed any more" error.
469
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
470
471
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
472
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
473
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
474

(Andrew Bennetts)
501
502
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
503
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
504
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
505
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
506
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
507
508

509
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering

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
542
844
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
543
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
544
545
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
546
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
547
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
548
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
549
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
550
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
551
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
552
through the 2.2 series.
553
554
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
555
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
556
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.

to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
593
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
594
595
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
596
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
597
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
598
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
599
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
600
601
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
602
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
603
#392248)
604
605
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
606
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
608
609
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
610
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
611
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
612
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
613
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
615
616
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
617
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
618
(Jelmer Vernooij)
619
620
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
621
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
622
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil)
624
625
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.

Bug Fixes
629
*********
630
631
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
632
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
633
634
* Allow additional arguments to
635
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
636
637
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
638
(Michal Junák, #511987)
639
640
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
641
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
642
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
643
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
644
645
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
647
648
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
649
(Martin Pool, #331095)
650
651
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
652
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
653
654
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
656
657
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
658
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
659
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
660
661
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
662
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
663
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
664
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
665
(Robert Collins, #396261)
666
667
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
668
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
670
671
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
672
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
673
674
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
675
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
677
678
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
679
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
680
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
681
682
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
683
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
684
``add``.
685
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
686
687
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
688
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
689
690
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
691
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
692
(Martin Pool, #528722)
693
694
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
695
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
697
698
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
700
701
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
702
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
704
705
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
706
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
707
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
708
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
709
``sock.sendall``).
710
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
711
712
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
713
deletion is involved.
714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
715
716
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
717
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
718
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
719
720
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
721
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
722
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
723
724
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
725
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
726
727
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
728
the debugger won't kill the session.
729
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
730
731
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
732
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
733
734
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
735
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
736
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
737
738
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.

``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
746
(Jelmer Vernooij)
747
748
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
749
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
750
751
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
752
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
753
754
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
755
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
756
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
757
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
758
759
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
760
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
761
to be done separately.
762
(Martin Pool, #507710)
763
764
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
765
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
766
(Jelmer Vernooij)
767
768
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
769
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
770
771
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
772
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
773
774
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.

782
783
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
784
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
785
786
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
787
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
788
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
789
790
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
791
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
792
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
793
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
794
(Robert Collins)
795
796
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
797
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
798
799
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
800
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
801
802
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
803
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.

808
809
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
810
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
811
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
812
813
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
814
(Robert Collins)
815
816
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
817
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
818
(Vincent Ladeuil)
819
820
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
821
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
822
dependency regressions.
823
(Martin Pool)
824
825
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
826
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
827
828
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
829
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
830
831
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
832
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
833
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
834
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
835
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
836
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

small updates to work with 2.3b1.
846
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.
854
855
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of

New Features

************
866
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)
870
871
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
872
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
873
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)
879
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)
884
885
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
886
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)

872
#########
873
874
:2.1.2: 2010-05-28
875
876
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
877
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
878
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
879
880
Bug Fixes
881
*********
882
883
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
884
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
885
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
886
887
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
888
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
889
890
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
891
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
892
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
893
Python.
894
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
895
896
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
897
versions before 1.6.
898
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
899
900
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
901
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
902
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
903
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
891
* Allow using both ``--using`` and ``--diff-options``.
892
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
893
894
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
895
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
896
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)
902
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.
904
905
(Andrew Bennetts)
905
906
906
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
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.
912
(John Arbash Meinel)
913
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)
919
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)
923
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)
927
928
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text when writing to pack
929
repositories.
907
930
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
908
931
909
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
910
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
911
912
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
913
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
914
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
915

917
Internals
918
*********
919
920
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
921
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
922
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
923
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
924
at worst.

941
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
942

* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
953
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
954
955
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
956
957
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
958
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
959
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
960
961
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
962
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
963
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
964
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
965
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
966
967
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
968
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
969
970
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
971
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.

* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
988
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
989
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.

:2.1.0: 2010-02-11

999
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1000
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1001
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1002
1003
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1004
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1005
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1006
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1007
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1008
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
1009
1010
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.

1014
1015
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
1016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
1017
1018
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
1019
(Martin Pool, #513432)
1020
1021
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
1022
when it encounters conflicts.
1023
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1024
1025
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1026
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1027
1028
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1029
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1030
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1031
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1032
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1033
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1034
1035
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1036
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1037
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)

1045
API Changes
1046
***********
1047
1048
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1049
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1050
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1051
1052
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
1053
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
1054
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1055
1056
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1057
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1058
1059
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1060
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1061
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1062
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1063
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1064
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1065
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1066
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1067
1068
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
1069
regressions.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
1071
1072
Internals
1073
*********
1074
1075
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1076
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1077
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1078
in ``do_merge``.

(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
1080

API Changes
1082
***********
1083
1084
* The ``remove_index`` method of
1085
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
1086
argument. This argument was always ignored.

1092
:Codename: after the bubbles
1093
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
1094
1095
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
1096
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
1097
1098
API Changes
1099
***********
1100
1101
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1102
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1103
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1104
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1105
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1106
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

:Codename: the 'new' stable
1114
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1115
1116
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1117
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1118
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1119
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1120
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1121
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1122
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1123
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1124
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
1125
1126
1127
New Features
1128
************
1129
1130
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1131
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1132
1133
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1134
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1135
particular files.
1136
1137
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1138
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1139
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1140
(Andrew Bennetts)
1141
1142
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1143
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1144
1145
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1146
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1147
1148
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1149
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1150
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1151
1152
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1153
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1154
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1155
Martin Pool, #45719)
1156
1157
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1158
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1159
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1160
1161
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1162
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1163
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1164
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1165
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1166
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1167
1168
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1169
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1170
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1171
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1172
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
1173
1174
Bug Fixes
1175
*********
1176
1177
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1178
user-specified commit message editor.
1179
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1180
1181
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1182
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1183
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1184
1185
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1186
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1187
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1188
1189
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1190
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1191
1192
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1193
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1194
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1195
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1196
another process already removed the file.
1197
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1198
1199
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1200
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1201
1202
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1203
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1204
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1205
1206
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1207
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1208
1209
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1211
1212
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1214
1215
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1216
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1217
1218
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1219
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1220
depended on this behaviour.
1221
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1222
1223
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1224
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1225
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1226
should appear up-to-date.)

1229
Improvements
1230
************
1231
1232
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1233
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1234
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1235
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1236
1237
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1238
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1239
1240
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1241
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1242
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1243
1244
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1245
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1246
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1247
1248
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1249
(__monty__, #257170)
1250
1251
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1252
Bazaar is doing network IO.
1253
(Martin Pool)
1254
1255
Documentation
1256
*************
1257
1258
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1259
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1260
1261
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1262
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1263
1264
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1265
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1266
1267
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1268
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1269
1270
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1271
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1272
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1273
1274
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1275
(Ian Clatworthy)
1276
1277
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1278
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
1279
(Ian Clatworthy)
1280
1281
API Changes
1282
***********
1283
1284
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1285
(Andrew Bennetts)
1286
1287
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1288
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1289
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1290
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1291
1292
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1293
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1294
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1295
1296
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1297
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1298
1299
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1300
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1301
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1302
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1303
1304
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1305
parameter.
1306
1307
Internals
1308
*********
1309
1310
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1311
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1312
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1313
1314
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1315
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1316
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1317
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1320
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1321
1322
Testing
1323
*******
1324
1325
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1326
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1327
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1328
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1329
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1330
1331
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1332
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1333
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1334
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1335
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1336
suite. (Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1339
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1340
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1341
1342
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1343
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
1344

bzr 2.0.6

#########
1348
1349
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
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)
938
939
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
940
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.

1356
948
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1357
949
1358
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1359
both working tree and branch.
1360
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
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)
954
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)
958
959
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
960
target of the symlink.

(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
962
963
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.

``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
965
regular expression.
966
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1361
967
1362
968
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1363
969
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1364
970
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1365

972
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
973
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
974
975
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
976
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
978
979
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
980
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
981
982
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
983
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
984
985
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
986
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
987
988
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
989
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
990
991
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
992
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
993
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)
997
998
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
999
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
1000
1001
* Errors occurring during HTTP(S) test server starts should now be
1002
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
1003
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)
1007
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)

properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
1015
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)
1019
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)
1024
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)
1029
1030
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
1031
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
1032
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)
1036
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)
1041
1042
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
1043
(Martin Pool, #98735)
1044
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

* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1370
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1371
1372
1053
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1373
1054
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1374
1055
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1380

1381
1062
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1382
1063
1064
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
1065
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
1066
(Martin [gz], #254278)
1067
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)
1071
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)
1075
1076
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
1077
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
1078
(Martin Pool)
1079
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)

1091

Bug Fixes
1399
*********
1400
1401
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1402
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1403
1404
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1405
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1406
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1407
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1408
another process already removed the file.
1409
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1410
1411
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1412
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1413
a lock.
1414
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1415
1416
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1417
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1418
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1419
repositories.
1420
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1421
1422
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1423
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1424
1425
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1426
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1427
``UnboundLocalError``.
1428
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1429
1430
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1431
version number along with rest of the help text.
1432
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1433
1434
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied

1450
1451
:Codename: smooth sailing
1452
:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
1453
1454
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1455
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1456
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1457
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1458
1459
1460
Bug Fixes
1461
*********
1462
1463
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1464
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1465
1466
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1467
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1468
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1469
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1470
1471
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1472
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1473
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1474
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1475
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1476
1477
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1478
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1479
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1480
1481
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1482
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1483
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1484
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1485
1486
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1487
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1488
1489
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1490
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1491
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1492
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1493
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1494
1495
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1496
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1497
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1498
users, rather than something nicer.
1499
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1500
1501
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1502
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1503
1504
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1505
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1506
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1507
1508
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1509
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1510
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1511
1512
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1513
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1514
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1515
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1516
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1517
1518
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1519
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1520
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1521
1522
Testing
1523
*******
1524
1525
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1526
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1527
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1528
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1538
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1539
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1540
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1541
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1542
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
1546
********************
1547
1548
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1549
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1550
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1551
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1552
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1553
1554
New Features
1555
************
1556
1557
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1558
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1559
1560
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1561
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1562
1563
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1564
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1565
1566
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1567
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1568
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1569
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1570
lengths.
1571
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1572
1573
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1574
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1575
is installed.

Bug Fixes
1580
*********
1581
1582
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1583
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1584
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1585
1586
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1587
and issues a warning.
1588
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1589
1590
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1591
1592
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1593
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1594
1595
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1596
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1597
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1598
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1599
1600
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1601
1602
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1603

1604
1605
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)

* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1608
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1609
1610
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1613
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1614
1615
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1616
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1617
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1618
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1619
windows too.
1620
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1621
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1622
1623
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1624
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1625
1626
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1627
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1628
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1629
1630
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1631
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1632
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1633
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1634
1635
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1636
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1637
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1638
1639
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1640
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1641
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1642
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1643
1644
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1645
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

1651
1652
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

1654
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1655
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1656
1657
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1658
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1659
(John Arbash Meinel)
1660
1661
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1662
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1663
Hudson)
1664
1665
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1666
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1667
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1668
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1669
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1683
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1684
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.

*********
1689
1690
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1691
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1692
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1693
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1694
1695
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1696
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1697
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1698
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1699
(John Arbash Meinel)
1700
1701
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1702
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1703
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1704
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1705
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1706
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

1735
1736
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1737

:Codename: after sprint recovery
1748
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1749
1750
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1751
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1752
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1753
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1754
1755
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1756
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1757
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1758
formats for Remote objects.

New Features
1762
************
1763
1764
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1765
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1766
1767
Bug Fixes
1768
*********
1769
1770
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1771
1772
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1773
1774
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1775
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1776
1777
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1778
1779
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1780
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1781
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1782
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1783
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1784
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1785
1786
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1787
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1788
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1789
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1790
1791
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1792
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1793
1794
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1795
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1796
1797
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1798
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1799
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1800
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1801
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1802
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1803
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1804
1805
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1806
(Alexander Belchenko)
1807
1808
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1809
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1810
1811
Documentation
1812
*************
1813
1814
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1815
1816
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1817
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1818
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1819
overridden by GUIs.

*********
1824
1825
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1826
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1827
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1828
1829
Testing
1830
*******
1831
1832
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1833
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1834
1835
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1836
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1837
1838
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1839
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1840
1841
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1842
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1843
1844
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1845
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1846
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1847
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1848
1849
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1850
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1851
1852
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1853
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1854
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1855
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1856
1857
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1858
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1859
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1860
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

:Codename: a load off my mind
1868
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1869
1870
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1871
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1872
1873
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1874
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1875
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1876
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1877
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1878
many operations.
1879
1880
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1881
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1882
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1883
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1884
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1885
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1886

Bug Fixes
1888
*********
1889
1890
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1891
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1892
1893
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1894
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1895
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1896
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1897
1898
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1899
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1900
1901
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1902
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1903
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1904
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1905
1906
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1907
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1908
1909
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1910
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1911
1912
Improvements
1913
************
1914
1915
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1916
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1917
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1918
(John Arbash Meinel)
1919
1920
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1921
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)

API Changes
1931
***********
1932
1933
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1934
1935
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1936
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1937
(Martin Pool)
1938
1939
Internals
1940
*********
1941
1942
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1943
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1944
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1945
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1946
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1947
(John Arbash Meinel)
1948
1949
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1950
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1951
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1952
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1953
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1954
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1955
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1956
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1957
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1958
1959
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1960
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1961
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1962
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1963
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1964
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1965
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1966
1967
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1968
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1969
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1970
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: While the cat is away
2024
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2025
2026
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2027
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2028
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2029
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2030
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2031
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2032
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2033
2034
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2035
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2036
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2037
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
2041
************
2042
2043
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2044
(Brian de Alwis)
2045
2046
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2047
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2048
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2049
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2050
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2051
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2052
2053
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2054
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2055
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2056
2057
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2058
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2059
method.
2060
2061
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2062
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2063
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2064
2065
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2066
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2067
(Arkanes)
2068
2069
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2070
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
2074
*********
2075
2076
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2077
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2078
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2079
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2080
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2081
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2082
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2083
2084
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2085
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2086
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2087
2088
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2089
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2090
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2092
2093
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2094
merges are present in the working tree.
2095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2096
2097
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2098
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2099
2100
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2101
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2102
2103
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2105
2106
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2107
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2109
2110
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2111
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2112
2113
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2114
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2115
2116
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)

2119
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using

needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2128
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2129
2130
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2131
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2132
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2133
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2134
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2135
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

2185
(Andrew Bennetts)
2186
2187
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2188
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2189
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2190
(John Arbash Meinel)
2191
2192
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2193
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.

2199
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2200
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2201
2202
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2203
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2204
2205
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2206
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.

2210

2212
2213
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2214
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2215
2216
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2217
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2218
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2221
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2222
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2223
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2224
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2225
2226
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2227
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2228
2229
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2230
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)

Bug Fixes
2245
*********
2246
2247
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2248
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2249
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2250
2251
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2252
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2253
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2254
2255
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2256
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2257
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2258
2259
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2260
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2261
2262
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2263
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2264
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2265
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2267
2268
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2269
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2270
2271
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2272
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2273
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2274
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2275
2276
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2277
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2278
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2279
2280
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2281
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2282
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2283
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2284
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2285
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2286
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2287
2288
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2289
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2290
2291
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2292
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2293
to download the entire cix file many times.
2294
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2295
2296
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2297
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)

2313
2314
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2315
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2316
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2317
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2318
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2319
existing projects.)
2320
2321
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2322
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2323
2324
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2325
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2326
months or until the following stable release.

Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2329
******************************
2330
2331
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2332
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2333
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2334
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)

2344
2345
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords

plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.

2348
2349
Bug Fixes
2350
*********
2351
2352
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2353
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2354
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2355
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2356
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2357
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2358
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2359
2360
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2361
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2362
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2363
2364
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2365
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2366
2367
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2368
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2369
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2370
2371
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2372
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2373
2374
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2375
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2376
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2377
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2378
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2379
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2380
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2381
2382
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2383
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2384
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2385
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2386
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2387
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2388
2389
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2390
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2391
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2392
2393
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2394
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2395
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2396
2397
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2398
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2399
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2400
2401
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2402
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2405
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2406
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2417
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2418
2419
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2420
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2421
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2422
2423
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2424
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2425
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)

Compatibility Breaks
2438
********************
2439
2440
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2441
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2442
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2443
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2444
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2445
2446
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2447
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force

(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2462
2463
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2464
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2465
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2466
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2467
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2468

2470

2480
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2481
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2482
2483
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2484
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2485
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

2493
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2494
2495
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2496
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2497
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2498
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2499
``bazaar.conf``.

* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2506
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2507
2508
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2509
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2510
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2513
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2514
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2515
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2516
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits

* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2601
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2602
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2614
2615
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2616
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2617
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2618
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2619
2620
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK

2622
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)

* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2625

2626
2627
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2628
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository

2630
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)

2639
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the

support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2644
2645
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2646
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2647
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.

* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2660
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2661
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2662
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2663
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2664
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2665
2666
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2667
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2668
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2669
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2670
2671
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2672
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along

2681

This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2701
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2702
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2703
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2704
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2705
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2706
2707
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2708
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2709
or until the following stable release.
2710

New Features
2714
************
2715
2716
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2717
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2718
2719
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2720
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2721
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2722
2723
Bug Fixes
2724
*********
2725
2726
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2727
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2728
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2729
2730
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2731
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2732
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2733
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2734
2735
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2736
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2737
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2738
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2739
2740
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2741
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2742
2743
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2744
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2745
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2746
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2747
2748
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2749
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2750
2751
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2752
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2753
2754
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2755
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2756
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2757
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2758
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2759
2760
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2761
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2762
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2763
2764
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2765
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2766
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2767
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2768
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2769
2770
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2771
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2772
2773
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2774
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2775
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2776
2777
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2778
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2779
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2780
2781
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2782
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2783
2784
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2785
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2786
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2787
2788
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2789
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2790
2791
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2792
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2793
2794
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2795
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2796
2797
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2798
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2799
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2800
2801
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2802
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2803
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2804
2805
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2806
2807
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2808
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2809
2810
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2811
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2812
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2813
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2814
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2815
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2816
2817
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2818
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2819
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2820
2821
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2822
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2823
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2824
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2825
2826
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2827
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2828
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2829
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2830
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2831
2832
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2833
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2834
(Robert Collins, #187207)

2838
2839
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2840
(Marius Kruger)
2841
2842
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2843
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2844
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2845
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2846
2847
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2848
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2861
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2862
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2863
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2864
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2865
2866

2881
2882
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2883
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2884
paths. (Robert Collins)
2885
2886
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2887
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2888
2889
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2890
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2891
disk. (Robert Collins)
2892
2893
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2894
it. (Robert Collins)

* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2897
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.

2909
2910
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2911
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2912
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2913
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using

``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support

``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2937
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2938

2939

Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during

api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2951
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)

2966
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.

* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2974
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2975
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2976
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2977
2978
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2979
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.

2987
2988
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2989
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2990
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2991
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3001
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3002
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3003
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)

3020
3021
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3022
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3023
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)

3043
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3044
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3045
3046
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3047
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3048
3049
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3050
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3051
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3052
3053
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3054
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3055
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3056
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3057
(John Arbash Meinel)
3058
3059
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3060
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3061
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3062
3063
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3064
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3065
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3066
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3067
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3068
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3069
3070
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3071
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3072
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3073
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3074
activity display respectively.

3094
3095
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3096
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3097
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3098
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3099
(Robert Collins)
3100
3101
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3102
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3103
3104
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3105
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3106
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3107
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3108
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3109
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3110
3111
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3112
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3113
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3114
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3115
3116
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3117
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3118
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3119
(John Arbash Meinel)
3120
3121
3122
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3123
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3124
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3125
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3126

3128
Improvements
3129
************
3130
3131
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3132
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3133
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3134
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3135
3136
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3137
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3138
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3139
3140
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3141
(Benoît PIERRE)
3142
3143
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3144
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3145
3146
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3147
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3148
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3149
3150
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3151
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3152
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3153
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)

##########
3181
3182
:Released: 2009-06-26
3183
3184
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3185
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3186
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3187
intermittently.
3188
3189
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3190
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3191
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3192
3193
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3194
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
3195
3196
Bug Fixes
3197
*********
3198
3199
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3200
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3201
3202
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3203
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3204
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3205
3206
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3207
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3208
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3209
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3210
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3211
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3212
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3213
3214
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3215
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3216
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3217
3218
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3219
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3220
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3223
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3224
that. (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3227
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3228
repository. (Robert Collins)
3229
3230
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3231
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3232
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3233
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
3274
************
3275
3276
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3277
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3278
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3279
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3280
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3281
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3282
in bzr 2.0.
3283
3284
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3285
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3286
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3287
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3288
3289
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3290
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3291
3292
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3293
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3294
3295
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3296
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3297
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3298
3299
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3300
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3301
3302
Improvements
3303
************
3304
3305
3306
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3307
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3308
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3309
3310
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3311
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3312
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3313
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3314
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3315
3316
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3317
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3318
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3319
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3320
3321
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3322
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3323
* diff (2X faster)
3324
* tags (70X faster)
3325
3326
(Ian Clatworthy)
3327
3328
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3329
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3330
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.

3339
3340
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3341

3342
3343
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3344
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3345
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3346
3347
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3348
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3349
3350
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3351
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3352
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3353
3354
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3355
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3356
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3357
(John Arbash Meinel)
3358
3359
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3360
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)

* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3363

* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3366
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3367
3368
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3369
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3370
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3371
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3372
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3373
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3374
bug-free) methods.
3375
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3376
3377
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3378
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3379
3380
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3381
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3382
3383
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3384
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3385
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3386
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3387
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3388
3389
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3390
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3391
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3392
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
3552
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
3553
3554
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
3555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
3556
3557
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
3558
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3559
3560
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3561
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3562
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3563
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3564
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3565
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3566
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3567
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3568
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3569
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3570
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3571
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3572
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3573
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
3574
3575
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
3576
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
3577
(Robert Collins, #368921)
3578
3579
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.

API Changes
3586
***********
3587
3588
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
3589
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
3590
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
3591
3592
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
3593
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
3594
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
3595
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.

Internals
3599
*********
3600
3601
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3602
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3603
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3604
3605
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3606
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3607
(Robert Collins)
3608
3609
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3610
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3611
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3612
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3613
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3614
3615
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3616
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3617
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3618
3619
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3620
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3621
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3622
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3623
3624
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3625
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3626
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3627
3628
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3629
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3630
3631
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3632
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3633
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3634
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3635
3636
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3637
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3638
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3639
3640
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3641
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3642
3643
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3644
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3645
branches. (Robert Collins)
3646
3647
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3648
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3649
3650
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3651
3652
Testing
3653
*******
3654
3655
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3656
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
3707
********************
3708
3709
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3710
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3711
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3712
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3713
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3714
3715
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3716
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3717
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3718
3719
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3720
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3721
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3722
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3723
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3724
3725
New Features
3726
************
3727
3728
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3729
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3730
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3731
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3732
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3733
(Ian Clatworthy)
3734
3735
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3736
(Aaron Bentley)
3737
3738
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3739
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3740
3741
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3742
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3743
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3744
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3745
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3746
3747
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3748
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3749
3750
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3751
(Aaron bentley)
3752
3753
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3754
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3755
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3756
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3757
(Ian Clatworthy)
3758
3759
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3760
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3761
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3762
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3763
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3764
3765
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3766
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3767
(Ian Clatworthy)
3768
3769
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3770
(Aaron Bentley)
3771
3772
Improvements
3773
************
3774
3775
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3776
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3777
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3778
3779
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3780
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3781
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3782
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3783
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3784
3785
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3786
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3787
(Ian Clatworthy)
3788
3789
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3790
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3791
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3792
3793
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3794
(Ian Clatworthy)
3795
3796
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3797
(Ian Clatworthy)
3798
3799
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3800
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3801
3802
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3803
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3804
3805
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3806
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3807
3808
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3809
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3810
#294479)
3811
3812
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3813
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3814
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3815
3816
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3817
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3818
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3819
(Ian Clatworthy)
3820
3821
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3822
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3823
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3824
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3825
3826
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3827
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3828
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3829
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3830
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3831
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3832
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3833
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3834
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3835
3836
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
3840
*********
3841
3842
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3843
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3844
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3845
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3846
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3847
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3848
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3849
3850
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3851
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3852
3853
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3854
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3855
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3856
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3857
3858
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3859
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3860
3861
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3862
3863
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3864
#313028)
3865
3866
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3867
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3868
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3869
3870
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3871
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3872
3873
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3874
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3875
3876
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3877
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3878
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3879
3880
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3881
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3882
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3883
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3884
3885
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3886
3887
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3889
3890
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3891
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3892
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3893
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3894
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3895
3896
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3897
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3898
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3899
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3900
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3901
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3902
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3903
3904
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3905
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3906
3907
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3908
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3909
(Andrea Bolognani)
3910
3911
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3912
(James Westby, #341558)
3913
3914
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3915
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3916
3917
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3918
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)

3924
3925
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)

API Changes
3931
***********
3932
3933
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3934
(Martin Pool)
3935
3936
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3937
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3938
(Robert Collins)
3939
3940
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3941
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3942
(Jelmer Vernooij)
3943
3944
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3945
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3946
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3947
3948
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3949
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3950
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3951
3952
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3953
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3954
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3955
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3956
(Ian Clatworthy)
3957
3958
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3959
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3960
(Jean-Francois Roy)
3961
3962
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3963
(Martin Pool)
3964
3965
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3966
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3967
3968
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3969
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3970
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3971
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3972
3973
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3974
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3975
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3976
3977
Testing
3978
*******
3979
3980
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3981
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3982
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3983
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3984
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3985
3986
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3988
3989
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3990
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3991
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3992
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).

* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3999
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4000
4001
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4002
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4003
4004
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4005
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4006
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4007
4008
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4009
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4010
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4011
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4012
4013
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4014
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4015
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4016
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4017
4018
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4019
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4020
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4021
4022
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4023
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4024
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4025
4026
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4027
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4028
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4029
4030
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4031
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4032
(Robert Collins)
4033
4034
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4035
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4036
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4037
4038
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4039
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4040
4041
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4042
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4043
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4044
4045
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4046
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4047
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4048
4049
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4050
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4051
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4052
4053
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4054
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4055
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4056
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4057
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4058
4059
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4060
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4061
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4062
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4063
4064
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4065
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4066
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4067
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4068
4069
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4070
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4071
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4072
4073
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4074
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4075
(Andrew Bennetts)
4076
4077
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4078
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4079
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4080
4081
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4082
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4083
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4084
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4085
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4086
4087
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4088
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4089
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4090
Vincent Ladeuil)
4091
4092
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4093
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4094
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4095
desired. (Robert Collins)
4096
4097
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4098
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4099
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4100
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4101
4102
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4103
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4104
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4121
*****************************
4122
4123
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4124
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4125
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4126
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4127
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4128
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4129
appeared now.

4136
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)

Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4139
********************************
4140
4141
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4142
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4143
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.

4146
*********
4147
4148
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
4149
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4150
4151
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4152
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4153
4154
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4155
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4156
4157
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)

Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
4160
*********************************
4161
4162

4163
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4164
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4165

4167
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)

4169
Compatibility Breaks
4170
********************
4171
4172
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
4173
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
4174
command may need to be adjusted.

(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4176
4177
New Features
4178
************
4179
4180
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4181
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4182
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4183
4184
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4185
(Martin Pool)
4186
4187
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4188
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4189
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4190
(Ian Clatworthy)
4191
4192
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4193
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4194
4195
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4196
(John Arbash Meinel)
4197
4198
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4199
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4200
4201
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4202
4203
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4204
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4205
(Jonathan Lange)
4206
4207
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4208
(Jonathan Lange)
4209
4210
Improvements
4211
************
4212
4213
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4214
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4215
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4216
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4217
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4218
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4219
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4220
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4221
(Robert Collins)
4222
4223
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4224
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4225
4226
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4227
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4228
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4229
4230
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4231
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4232
4233
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4234
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4235
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4236
(Ian Clatworthy)
4237
4238
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4239
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4240
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4241
4242
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4243
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4244
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4245
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4246
4247
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4248
(Jelmer Vernooij)
4249
4250
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4251
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4252
4253
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4254
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4255
4256
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4257
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4258
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4259
4260
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4261
4262
Bug Fixes
4263
*********
4264
4265
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4266
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4267
4268
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4269
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4270
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4271
4272
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4273
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4275
4276
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4277
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4278
4279
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4280
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4281
Vernooij, #315048)
4282
4283
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4284
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4285
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4286
4287
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4288
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4289
4290
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4291
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4292
4293
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4294
(James Westby, #174539)
4295
4296
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4297
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4298
4299
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4300
error branching from old repositories.
4301
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4302
4303
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4304
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4305
4306
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4307
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4308
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4309
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4310
4311
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4312
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4313
#334808)
4314
4315
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4316
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4317
4318
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4319
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4320
4321
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4322
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4323
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4324
4325
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4326
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4327
4328
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4329

4333
4334
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4335
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4336
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4337
(Ian Clatworthy)
4338
4339
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4340
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4341
4342
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

4345
API Changes
4346
***********
4347
4348
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4349
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4350
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4351
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4352
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4353
4354
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4355
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4356
4357
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4358
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4359
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4360
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4361
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4362
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4363
4364
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4365
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4366
4367
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4368
"author" argument being deprecated.
4369
4370
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4371
4372
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4373
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4374
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4375
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4376
4377
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4378
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4379
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4380
4381
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4382
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4383
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4384
4385
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4386
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4387
4388
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4389
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4390
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4391
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4392
4393
Internals
4394
*********
4395
4396
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4397
free of virtual file system methods.
4398
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4399
4400
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4401
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4402
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4403
4404
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4405
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4406
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4407
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4408
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4409
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4410
4411
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4412
4413
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4414
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4415
4416
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4417
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4418
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4419
stream the operation.
4420
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4421
4422
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4423
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4424
4425
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4426
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4427
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4428
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4429
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4430
4431
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4432
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4433
4434
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4435
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4436
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4437
4438
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4439
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4440
(Robert Collins)
4441
4442
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4443
(Robert Collins)
4444
4445
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4446
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4447
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4448
4449
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4450
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4451
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4452
4453
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4454
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4455
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4456
4457
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4458
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4459
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4460
4461
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4462
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4463
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4464
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4465
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4466
4467
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4468
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4469
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4470
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4471
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4472
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4473
4474
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4475
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4476
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4477
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4478
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4479
4480
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4481
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4484
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4485
4486
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4487
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4488
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4489
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4490
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4491
4492
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4493
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

4504
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4505
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4506
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4507
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
4508
by showing the rate of network IO.

4510
Changes from RC1 to Final
4511
*************************
4512
4513
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
4514
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4515
4516
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4517
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4518
4519
Compatibility Breaks
4520
********************
4521
4522
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4523
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4524
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4525
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4526
4527
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4528
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4529
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4530
(Ian Clatworthy)
4531
4532
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4533
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4534
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4535
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4536
4537
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4538
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4539
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
4540
(Ian Clatworthy)
4541
4542
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4543
4544
New Features
4545
************
4546
4547
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4548
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4549
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4550
(Marius Kruger)
4551
4552
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4553
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4554
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4555
4556
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4557
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4558
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4559
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4560
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4561
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4562
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4563
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4564
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4565
(Ian Clatworthy)
4566
4567
Improvements
4568
************
4569
4570
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4571
(Daniel Watkins)
4572
4573
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4574
(Marius Kruger)
4575
4576
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4577
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4578
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4579
4580
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4581
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4582
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4583
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4584
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4585
4586
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4587
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4588
4589
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4590
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4591
level for better precision.
4592
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4593
4594
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4595
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4596
4597
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4598
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4599
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4600
4601
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4602
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4603
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4604
(Andrew Bennetts)
4605
4606
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4607
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4608
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4609
4610
Bug Fixes
4611
*********
4612
4613
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4614
anymore.
4615
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4616
4617
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4618
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4619
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4620
4621
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4622
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4623
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4624
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4625
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4626
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4627
4628
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4629
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4630
4631
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4632
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4633
4634
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4635
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4636
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4637
4638
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4639
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4640
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4641
(Andrew Bennetts)
4642
4643
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4644
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4645
4646
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4647
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4648
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4649
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4650
4651
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4652
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4653
handled.
4654
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4655
4656
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)

4666
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4667
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4668
(Martin Pool)
4669
4670
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4671
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4672
4673
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4674
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4675
4676
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4677
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4678
4679
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4680
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4681
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4682
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4683
4684
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4685
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4686
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4687
4688
Internals
4689
*********
4690
4691
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4692
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4693
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4694
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4695
compile buffers, are such an example).
4696
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4697
4698
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4699
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4700
(Ian Clatworthy)
4701
4702
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4703
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4704
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4705
(Ian Clatworthy)
4706
4707
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4708
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4709
4710
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4711
formatters to retrict the output.

4720
4721
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4722
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4723
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4724
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4725
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4726
4727
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4728
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4729
advice.
4730
4731
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4732
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

New Features
4758
************
4759
4760
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4761
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4762
4763
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4764
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4765
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4766
implement other plugins.

************
4774
4775
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4776
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4777
4778
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4779
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4780
4781
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4782
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4783
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4784
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4785
(Mark Hammond)
4786
4787
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4788
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4789
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4790
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4791
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4792
4793
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4794
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4795
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4796
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4797
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4806
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4809
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4810
4811
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4812
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4813
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)

* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4836
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4837
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4838
4839
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4840
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4841
in the appropriate sections.
4842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4843
4844
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4845
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4846
(John Arbash meinel)

4848
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.

* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4855
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4856
4857
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4858
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4859
work better with how it splits its requests.
4860
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)

4863
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4864
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4865

4893
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4894
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4895
4896
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4897
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4898
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4899
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4900
4901
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4902
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4903

versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4911
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4912
4913
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4914
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4915
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4916
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4917
4918
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4919
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4920
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.

4927
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4928
(John Arbash Meinel)
4929
4930
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4931
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4932
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4933
(John Arbash Meinel)
4934
4935
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4936
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4937
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4938
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4939
4940
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4941
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4942
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4943
4944
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4945
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4946
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4947
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4948
4949
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4950
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4951
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4952
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4953
(John Arbash Meinel)
4954
4955
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4956
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4957
4958
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4959
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4960
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4961
4962
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4963
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4964
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4965
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4966
4967
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4968
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4969
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4970
(John Arbash Meinel)
4971
4972
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4973
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4974
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4975
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4976
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4977
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4978
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4979
4980
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4981
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4991
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4992
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4993
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4994
implementation.
4995

The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.

*********
5000
5001
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the

5003
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5004
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5005
5006
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5007
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5008
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5009
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5010
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

5018
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5019
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5020
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5021
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5022
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features

************
5026
5027
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5028
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5029
5030
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
5034
************
5035
5036
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5037
history just to set the last revision info.
5038
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5039
5040
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5041
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5042
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5043
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5044
5045
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5046
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5047
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5048
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5049
(John Arbash Meinel)
5050
5051
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5052
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5053
5054
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5055
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5056
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5057
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5058
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5059
5060
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5061
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5062
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5063
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

5065
Bug Fixes
5066
*********
5067
5068
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5069
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5070
5071
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5072
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5073
5074
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5075
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5076
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5077
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5078
5079
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5080
starting with a dotted revno.
5081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5082
5083
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5084
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5085
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5086
5087
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5088
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5089
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5090
5091
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5092
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5093
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5094
5095
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5096
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5097
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5098
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5099
5100
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5101
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5102
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5103
5104
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

5106
5107
API Changes
5108
***********
5109
5110
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5111
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5112
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5113
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5114
5115
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5116
have changed incompatibly.
5117
5118
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5119
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5120
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5121
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5122
don't need to change.
5123
5124
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5125
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
5126

* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)

:Released: 2008-11-07
5140
5141
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5142
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5143
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5144
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5145
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5146
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5147
5148
Bug Fixes

5154
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)

* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5170
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5171
5172
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5173
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5174
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5175
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5176
5177
Improvements
5178
************
5179
5180
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5181
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5182
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5183
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5184
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5185
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5186
5187
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5188
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5189
5190
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5191
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5192
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5193
5194
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5195
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5196
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5197
(Andrew Bennetts)
5198
5199
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5200
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5201
5202
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5203
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5204
5205
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5206
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5207
5208
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5209
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5210
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5211
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5212
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5213
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5214
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5215
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5216
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5217
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
5220
*********
5221
5222
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5223
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5224
5225
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5226
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5227
5228
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5229
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5230
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5231
5232
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5233
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5234
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5235
5236
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5237
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5238
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5239
5240
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5241
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5242
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5243
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5244
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5245
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5246
5247
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5248
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5249
5250
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5251
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5252
5253
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5254
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5255
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5256
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5257
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5258
5259
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5260
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5261
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

*******
5312
5313
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5314
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5315
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5316
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5317
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5318
5319
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5320
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)

5324
5325
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5326
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5327
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5328
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5329
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running

************
5343
5344
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5345
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5346
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5347
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5348
5349
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5350
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5351
(Daniel Watkins)
5352
5353
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5354
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
5355
(Andrew Bennetts)
5356
5357

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5366
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5367
5368
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5369
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5370
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5371
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5372
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5373
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5374

5618
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.

5622
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5623
5624
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5625
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5626
(Marius Kruger)
5627
5628
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5629
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5630
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5631
(John Arbash Meinel)
5632
5633
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5634
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5635
5636
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5637
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5638
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5639
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5640
(John Arbash Meinel)
5641
5642
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5643
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5644
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5645
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5646
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5647
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5648
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5649
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5650
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5651
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

5659
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5660
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5661
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)

5663
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5664
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5665
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5666
5667
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5668
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5669
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5670
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5671
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5672
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5673
5674
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5675
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)

5677
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5678
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5679
5680
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5681
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5682
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5683
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5684
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5685
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5686
5687
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5688
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5689
5690
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5691
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5692
5693
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5694
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5695
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5696
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5697
5698
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5699
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5700
5701
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5702
assuming the host name is ascii.

5759

5771
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)

* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5774

############
5805
5806
:Released: 2008-08-29
5807
5808
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5809
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5810
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5811
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5812
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5813
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5814
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5815
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5816
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5817
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5818
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5819
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5820
5821
Bug Fixes
5822
*********
5823
5824
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5825
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5826
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5827
start of the string (causing more copies).
5828
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5829
especially for projects with large files.
5830
(John Arbash Meinel)
5831
5832
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5833
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5834
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5835
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5836
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5837
5838
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5839
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5840
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5841
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5842
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

5851
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5852
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5853
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5854
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5855
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5856
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5857
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5858
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5859
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing

automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)

5913
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5914
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5915
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5916
5917
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5918
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5919
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5920
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5921
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5922
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5923
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5942
(Aaron Bentley)
5943
5944
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5945
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5946
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5947
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5948
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5949
5950
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5951
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5952
5953
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5954
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5955
5956
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5957
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5958
5959
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5960
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5961
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5962
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5963
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5964
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

5972
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5973
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5974
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5975
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5976
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5977
5978
Changes
5979
*******
5980
5981
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5982
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5983
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5984
5985
Improvements
5986
************
5987
5988
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5989
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5990
5991
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5992
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5993
5994
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5995
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5996
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5997
5998
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
5999
(James Westby)
6000
6001
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6002
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6003
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6004
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6005
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6006
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6007
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6008
6009
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6010
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6011
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)

6013
Bug Fixes
6014
*********
6015
6016
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6017
physical repository boundaries.
6018
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6019
6020
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6021
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6022
6023
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6024
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6025
(Martin Pool)
6026
6027
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6028
(Ian Clatworthy)
6029
6030
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
6031
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
6032
that Python is running from.
6033
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
6034
6035
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
6036
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
6037
(Robert Collins, #150438)
6038
6039
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
6040
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
6041
6042
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
6043
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
6044
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
6045
6046

API Changes
6053
***********
6054
6055
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
6056
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
6057
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
6058
(Robert Collins)
6059
6060
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
6061
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
6062
(Robert Collins)
6063
6064
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6065
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6066
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6067
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6068
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6069
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
6070
(Robert Collins)
6071
6072
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
6073
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6074
6075
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6076
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6077
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6078
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6079
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
6080
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
6081
6082
Internals
6083
*********
6084
6085
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
6086
putting together a real history without having to create a full
6087
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
6088
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
6089
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
6090
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6091
6092
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
6093
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
6094
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
6095
6096
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
6097
(Ian Clatworthy)
6098
6099
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
6100
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
6101
6102
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

6111
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
6112
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
6113
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
6114
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
6115
bug fixes.
6116
6117
Features
6118
********
6119
6120
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
6121
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
6122
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6123
6124
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6125
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6126
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6127
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6128
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6129
(Ian Clatworthy)
6130
6131
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6132
6133
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6134
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6135
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6136
(Robert Collins)
6137
6138
Improvements
6139
************
6140
6141
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6142
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6143
(Martin Pool)
6144
6145
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6146
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6147
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6148
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6149
6150
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6151
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6152
(Christophe Troestler)
6153
6154
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6155
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6156
6157
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6158
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6159
faster. The new request method name is
6160
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6161
6162
Bug Fixes
6163
*********
6164
6165
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6166
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6167
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6168
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6169
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6170
6171
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6172
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6173
6174
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6175
requires a branch to be present.
6176
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6177
6178
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6179
loaded.
6180
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6181
6182
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6183
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6184
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6185
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6186
6187
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6188
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6189
6190
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6191
name contains an @.
6192
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6193
6194
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6195
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6196
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6197
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6198
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6199
6200
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6201
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6202
6203
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6204
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6205
6206
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6207
Cygwin Bazaar.
6208
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6209
6210
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.

*******
6227
6228
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6229
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6230
6231
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6232
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6233
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6234
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6235
6236
API Changes
6237
***********
6238
6239
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6240
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6241
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6242
Repository docstring for more details.
6243
(Robert Collins)
6244
6245
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6246
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6247
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6248
6249
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6250
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6251
(Daniel Watkins)
6252
6253
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6254
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6255
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6256
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

6260
6261
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.

(Alexander Belchenko)
6263
6264
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6265
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6266
containing a given location.
6267
(Daniel Watkins)
6268
6269
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6270
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6271
storage. (Robert Collins)
6272
6273
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6274
(Robert Collins)
6275
6276
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,

*********
6293
6294
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6295
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6296
reading from the repository.)
6297
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)

6303
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
6304
(Andrew Bennetts)
6305
6306
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6307
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6308
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6309
6310
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6311
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6312
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6313
6314
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6315
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6316
6317
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6318
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6319
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

:Released: 2008-06-02
6371
6372
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6373
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6374
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6375
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6376
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6377
and future extensions.
6378
6379
6380
Notes When Upgrading
6381
********************
6382
6383
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6384
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6385
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6386
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6387
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6388
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6389
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

Improvements
6406
************
6407
6408
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6409
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6410
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6411
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6412
6413
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6414
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6415
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6416
6417
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6418
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6419
6420
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6421
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6422
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6423
6424
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6425
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6426
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6427
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6428
step closer to not using full revision history.

Bugfixes
6432
********
6433
6434
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6435
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6436
6437
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6438
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6439
6440
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6441
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6442
6443
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6444
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6445
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6446
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6447
6448
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6449
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6450
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6451
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6452
6453
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6454
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6455
in use by another process.
6456
(Martin Pool)
6457
6458
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6459
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6460
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6461
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6462
6463
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6464
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6465
6466
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6467
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6469

6471
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)

* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6475
them.
6476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6477
6478
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6479
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6480
6481
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6482
under vim on Mac OS X.

* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality

6521
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.

API Changes
6525
***********
6526
6527
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6528
instead. (Martin Pool)
6529
6530
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6531
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6532
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6533
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6534
6535
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6536
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6537
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6538
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6539
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6540
6541
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6542
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6543
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6544
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6545
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6546
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6547
6548
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6549
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6550
(Martin Pool)
6551
6552
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6553
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6554
(Robert Collins)
6555
6556
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6557
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6558
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6559
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6560
6561
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6562
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6563
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6564
6565
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6566
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6567
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6568
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6569
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6570
(Martin Pool)
6571
6572
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6573
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6574
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6575
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6576
(Robert Collins)
6577
6578
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6579
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6580
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6581
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6582
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

Bug Fixes
6813
*********
6814
6815
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6816
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6817
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6818
6819
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6820
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6821
6822
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6823
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6824
6825
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6826
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6827
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6828
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6829
every revision each side had in common.

*******
6840
6841
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6842
6843
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6844
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6845
6846
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6847
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6848
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6849
6850
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6851
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6852
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6853
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6854
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6855
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6856
Andrew Cowie)
6857
6858
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6859
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6860
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6861

Features
6864
********
6865
6866
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6867
6868
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6869
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6870
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6871
6872
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6873
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6874
See the User Reference for signature details.
6875
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6876
6877
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6878
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6879
6880
Improvements
6881
************
6882
6883
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6884
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6885
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6886
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6887
6888
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6889
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6890
6891
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6892
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6893
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6894
Wouter van Heyst)
6895
6896
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6897
(Chad Miller)
6898
6899
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6900
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6901
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6902
6903
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6904
(Aaron Bentley)
6905
6906
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6907
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6908
6909
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6910
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6911
6912
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6913
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6914
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6915
6916
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6917
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6918
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6919
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6920
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6921
6922
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6923
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6924
6925
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6926
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6927
6928
Bugfixes
6929
********
6930
6931
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6932
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6933
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6934
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6935
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6936
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6937
6938
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6939
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6940
6941
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6942
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6943
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6944
6945
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6946
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6947
6948
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6949
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6950
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6951
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6952
6953
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6954
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6955
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6956
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6957
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6958
6959
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6960
6961
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6962
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6963
6964
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6965
6966
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6967
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6968
6969
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6978
6979
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6980

* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)

API Breaks
6984
**********
6985
6986
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6987
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6988
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6989
6990
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6991
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6992
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6993
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6994
6995
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6996
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6997
release. (James Westby)
6998
6999
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7000
(Andrew Bennetts)
7001
7002
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7003
7004
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7005
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7006
7007
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7008
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7009
7010
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7011
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7012
7013
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7014
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7015
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7016
7017
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7018
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7019
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7020
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7021
7022
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7023
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7024
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7025
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7026
7027
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7028
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7029
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7030
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7031
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7032
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7033
7034
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7035
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7036
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7037
7038
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7039
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7040
7041
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7042
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7043
(Robert Collins)
7044
7045
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7046
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
7047
7048
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7049
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7050
7051
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7052
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7053
7054
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7055
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7056
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7057
7058
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7059
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7060
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7061
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7062
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7063
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7064
7065
Testing
7066
*******
7067
7068
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7069
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7070
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7071
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7072
7073
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7074
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7075
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7076
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7077
implement this).
7078
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7079
7080
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
7081
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
7082
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7083
7084
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
7085
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
7086
7087
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
7088
7089
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
7090
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
7091
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
7092
7093
Internals
7094
*********
7095
7096
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7097
7098
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
7099
(Martin Albisetti)
7100
7101
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7102
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7103
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7104
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7105
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
7106
(Martin Pool, #109520)
7107
7108
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7109
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7110
7111
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7112
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7113
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7114
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
7115
7116
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7117
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
7118
7119
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
7120
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading

********************
7171
7172

``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7174
7175
Changes
7176
*******
7177
7178
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7179
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7180
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7181
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7182
(Robert Collins)
7183
7184
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7185
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7186
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7187
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7188
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7189
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7190
7191
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7192
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7193
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7194
(Alexander Belchenko)
7195
7196
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7197

7212
************
7213
7214
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7215
7216
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7217
7218
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7219
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7220
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7221
7222
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7223
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7224
7225
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7226
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7227
7228
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7229
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7230
(Alexander Belchenko)
7231
7232
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7233
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7234
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7235
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7236
7237
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7238
(Daniel Watkins)
7239
7240
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7241
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7242
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7243
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7244
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

7252
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

Notes When Upgrading
7370
********************
7371
7372
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7373
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7374
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7375
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7376
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7377
(Andrew Bennetts)
7378
7379
Changes
7380
*******
7381
7382
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7383
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7384
7385
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7386
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7387
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7388
7389
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7390
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7391
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7392
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7393
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7394
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7395

Features
7398
********
7399
7400
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7401
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7402
7403
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7404
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7405
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7406
(Robert Collins)
7407
7408
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7409
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7410
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7411
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7412
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7413
7414
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7415
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7416
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7417
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7418
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7419
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7420
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7421
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

Improvements
7424
************
7425
7426
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7427
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7428
7429
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7430
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7431
7432
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7433
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7434
7435
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7436
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7437
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7438
7439
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7440
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

7444
********
7445
7446
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7447
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7448
7449
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7450
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7451
7452
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7453
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7454
7455
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7456
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7457
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7458
7459
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7460
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7461
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7462
7463
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7464
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7465
7466
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7467
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7468
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7469
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7470
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7471
unittest runner.
7472
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7473
7474
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7475
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7476
#185907)
7477
7478
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7479

7481
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7482

7484
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7486

* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7488
more characters which should be considered valid.
7489
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7490
7491
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7492
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7493
7494
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7495

* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7501
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7502
7503
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7504
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)

*********
7516
7517
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7518
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7519
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7520

* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7522
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7523
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7524
7525
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7526
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7527
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7528
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7529
7530
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7531
7532
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7533
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7534
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7535
server. (Robert Collins)
7536
7537
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7538
operate. (Robert Collins)
7539
7540
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7541
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7542
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7543
7544
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7545
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7546
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7547
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7548
7549
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7550
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7551
7552
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7553
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7554
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7555
7556
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7557
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7558
7559
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7560
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7561
7562
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7563
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7564
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7565
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

*******
7582
7583
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7584
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7585
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7586
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7587
7588
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7589
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7590

--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7614
7615
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7616
7617
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7618
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7619
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7620
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7621
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7622
7623
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7624

Notes When Upgrading
7935
********************
7936
7937
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7938
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7939
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7940
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7941
7942
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7943
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7944
7945
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7946
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7947
7948
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7949
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7950
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7951
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7952
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7953
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7954
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7955
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7956
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7957
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7958
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7959
from any tree without problems.

8001
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8002

8003
8004
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8005
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory

iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8007
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)

8235

8236
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8237
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8238
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8239
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8240
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner

used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
8251
commands. (Robert Collins)
8252
8253
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
8254
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
8255
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
8256
(Robert Collins)
8257
8258
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
8259
8260
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
8261
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
8262
8263
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
8264
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
8265
(Aaron Bentley)
8266
8267
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
8268
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
8269
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
8270
8271
Performance
8272
***********
8273
8274
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
8275
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
8276
8277
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
8278
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8279
8280
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8281
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8282
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8283
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8284
8285
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8286
(Robert Collins)
8287
8288
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8289
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8290
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8291
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8292
8293
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8294
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
8295
8296
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
8297
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
8298
8299
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
8300
the contents. (Robert Collins)
8301
8302
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
8303
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
8304

Improvements
8306
************
8307
8308
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8309
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8310
8311
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8312
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8313
8314
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8315
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8316
8317
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8318
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8319
8320
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8321
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
8322

Documentation
8324
*************
8325
8326
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
8327
8328
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.

8331
Bug Fixes
8332
*********
8333
8334
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8335
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8336
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8337
8338
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8339
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8340
8341
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8342
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8343
8344
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8345
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8346
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8347
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8348
8349
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8350
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8351
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8352
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8353
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8354
8355
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8356
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8357
paramiko.
8358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8359
8360
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8361
8362
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8363
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8364
8365
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8367
8368
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8370
8371
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8372
contains a symbolic link.
8373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8374
8375
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8376
(James Westby, #140615)
8377
8378
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8379
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8381
8382
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8383
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8384
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8385
8386
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8387
8388
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8390
8391
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8392
will remain opened.
8393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8394
8395
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8396
directory to detect leaking tests.
8397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8398
8399
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8400
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8401
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8402
8403
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8404
(Rob Weir, #141629)
8405
8406
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8407
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8408
8409
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8410
Merwe)
8411
8412
API Breaks
8413
**********
8414
8415
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8416
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8417
8418
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8419
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8420
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8421
8422
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8423
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8424
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8425
8426
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8427
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8428
8429
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8430
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8431
8432
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8433
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8434
(Martin Pool)
8435
8436
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8437
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8438
8439
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8440
class that needs it.
8441
(Martin Pool)
8442
8443
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8444
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8445
8446
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8447
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8448
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8449
8450
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8451
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8452
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8453
(Robert Collins)
8454
8455
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8456
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8457
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8458
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8459
(Robert Collins)
8460
8461
Internals
8462
*********
8463
8464
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8465
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8466
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8467
8468
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8469
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8470
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8471
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8472
8473
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8474
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8475
(Robert Collins)
8476
8477
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8478
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8479
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8480
8481
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8482
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8483
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8484
8485
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8486
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8487
8488
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8489
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8490
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8491
8492
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8493
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8494
8495
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8496
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8497
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8498
8499
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8500
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8501
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8502
8503
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8504
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8505
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8506
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8507
8508
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8509
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8510
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8511
returned. (Robert Collins)
8512
8513
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8514
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8515
8516
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8517
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8518
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8519
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8520
(Robert Collins)
8521
8522
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8523
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)

8525
Testing
8526
*******
8527
8528
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8529
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8530
8531
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8532
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8533
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8534
makes this behavior available to other users.
8535
(Martin Pool)
8536
8537
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8538
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
8580
*******
8581
8582
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8583
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8584
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8585
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8586
(Martin Pool)
8587
8588
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8589
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8590
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8591
(Ian Clatworthy)
8592
8593
Features
8594
********
8595
8596
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8597
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8598
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8599
(Lukáš Lalinský)
8600
8601
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8602
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8603
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8604
8605
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8606
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8607
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8608
8609
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8610
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8611
8612
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8613
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8614
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8615
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8616
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8617
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8618
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8619
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8620
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8621
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8622
8623
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8624
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8625
8626
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8627
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8628
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8629
8630
Bug Fixes
8631
*********
8632
8633
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8634
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8635
8636
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8637
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8638
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8639
8640
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8641
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8642
8643
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8644
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8645
8646
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8647
(Aaron Bentley)
8648
8649
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8650
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8651
8652
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8653
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8654
8655
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8656
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8657
8658
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8659
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8660
8661
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8662
8663
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8664
Watkins, #106726)
8665
8666
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8667
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8668
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8669
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8670
8671
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8672
8673
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8674
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8675
#133548)
8676
8677
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8678
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8679
8680
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8681
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8682
#116143)
8683
8684
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8685
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8686
8687
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8688
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8689
8690
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8691
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8692
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8693
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8694
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8695
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8696
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8697
8698
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8699
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8700
8701
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8702
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8703
8704
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8705
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8706
8707
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.

* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8715
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8716
8717
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8718
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8719
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8720
8721
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8722
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
8726
************
8727
8728
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8729
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8730
8731
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8732
(Aaron Bentley)
8733
8734
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8735
(Aaron Bentley)
8736
8737
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8738
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8739
8740
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8741
8742
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8743
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8744
8745
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8746
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8747
8748
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8749
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8750
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8751
space). (Robert Collins)
8752
8753
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8754
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8755
(Ian Clatworthy)
8756
8757
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8758
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8759
8760
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8761
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8762
8763
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8764
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8765
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8766
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8767
8768
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8769
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8770
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8771
(Lukáš Lalinský)
8772
8773
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8774
(Ian Clatworthy)
8775
8776
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8777
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8778
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8779
8780
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8781
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8782
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8783
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8784
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8785
8786
API Breaks
8787
**********
8788
8789
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8790
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8791
8792
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8793
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8794
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8795
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8796
affected. (Robert Collins)
8797
8798
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8799
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8800
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8801
(Robert Collins)
8802
8803
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8804
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8805
8806
Testing
8807
*******
8808
8809
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8810
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8811
8812
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8813
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8814
8815
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8816
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8817
8818
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8819
(Aaron Bentley)
8820
8821
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8822
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8823
8824
Internals
8825
*********
8826
8827
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8828
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8829
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8830
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8831
8832
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8833
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8834
8835
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8836
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8837
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8838
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8839
8840
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8841
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8842
present. (Robert Collins)
8843
8844
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8845
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8846
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8847
API. (Robert Collins)
8848
8849
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8850
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8851
(Robert Collins)
8852
8853
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8854
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8855
8856
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8857
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8858
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8859
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8860
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8861
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8862
8863
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8864
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8865
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8866
8867
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8868
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8869
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8870
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8871
protocol.
8872
8873
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8874
(Aaron Bentley)
8875
8876
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8877
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8878
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8879
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8880
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8881
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8882
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8883
8884
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8885
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8886
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8887
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8888
8889
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8890
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8891
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8892
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8893
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8894
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8895
8896
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8897
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8898
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8899
8900
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8901
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

8912
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8913
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8914
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8915
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8916
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8917
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link

***********
8924
8925
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8926

8927
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

Bugfixes
8936
********
8937
8938
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8939
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8940
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8941
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8942
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8943
8944
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8946
8947
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8948
anymore.
8949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8950
8951
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8952
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8953
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8954
8955
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8956
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8957
#111664)
8958
8959
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8960
(Lukáš Lalinský)
8961
8962
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8963
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8964
8965
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8966
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8967
8968
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8969
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8970
8971
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8972
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8973
8974
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8975
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8976
8977
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.

************
8982
8983
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8984
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8985
8986
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8987
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8988
8989
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8990
the repository (Robert Collins)
8991
8992
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8993
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8994
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8995
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8996
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8997
8998
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8999
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9000
9001
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9002
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9003
(John Arbash Meinel)
9004
9005
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9006
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9007
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9008
about 10%).
9009
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9010
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9011
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9012
(John Arbash Meinel)
9013
9014
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9015
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9016
(Robert Collins)
9017
9018
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9019
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9020
9021
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9022
(Ian Clatworthy)
9023
9024
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9025
9026
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9027
9028
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9029
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9030
9031
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9032
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9033
Meinel)
9034
9035
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9036
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9037
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9038
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9039
9040
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9041
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9042
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9043
9044
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9045
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9046
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9047
9048
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9049
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9050
9051
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9052
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9053
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9054
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9055
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9056
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9057
(Ian Clatworthy)
9058
9059
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
9060
(Alexander Belchenko)
9061
9062
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
9063
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9064
9065
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9066
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
9067
9068
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

Library API Breaks
9074
******************
9075
9076
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9077
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9078
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9079
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9080
9081
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9082
9083
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9084
(Robert Collins)
9085
9086
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9087
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9088
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9089
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9090
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9091
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
9092
9093
Internals
9094
*********
9095
9096
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9097
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9098
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9099
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9100
9101
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9102
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9103
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9104
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9105
tests have been refactored too.
9106
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9107
9108
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9109
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9110
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9111
list, it will.
9112
(Vincent Ladeuil)
9113
9114
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9115
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9116
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9117
9118
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9119
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9120
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9121
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9122
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9123
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9124
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9125
9126
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9127
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9128
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9129
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9130
(John Arbash Meinel)
9131
9132
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9133
functionality for testing.
9134
9135
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9136
9137
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9138
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9139
9140
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9141
9142
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9143
(Robert Collins)
9144
9145
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9146
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9147
9148
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9149
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9150
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9151
9152
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9153
(Aaron Bentley)
9154
9155
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9156
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9157
9158
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9159
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9160
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9161
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9162
9163
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9164
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9165
9166
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9167
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9168
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9169
9170
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9171
(Marius Kruger)
9172
9173
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9174
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9175
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9176
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9177
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9178
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9179
9180
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9181
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9182
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9183
many files. (Robert Collins)
9184
9185
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9186
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9187
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9188
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)

9196

9198
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9199
9200
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9201
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first

************
9271

9274
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9275

* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9284

* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9287
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9288
9289
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9290
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9291
9292
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9293
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9294
9295
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9296
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9297
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9298
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9299
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9300
9301
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9302
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9303
9304
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9305

9362
9363
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9364
9365
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9366
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9367
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9368
9369
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9370
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9371
9372
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9373
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9374
9375
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9376
9377
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9378
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9379
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9380
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9381
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9382
same location. (Robert Collins)

9395
9396
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9397
(Martin Pool)
9398
9399
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9400
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9401
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9402
9403
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9404
9405
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9406
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9407
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9408
9409
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9410
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9411
9412
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9413
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9414
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9415
9416
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9417
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9418
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9419
9420
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9421
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9422
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9423
9424
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9425
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9426
Martin Pool)
9427
9428
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9429
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9430

* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9432

Testing
9435
*******
9436
9437
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9438
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9439
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9440
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9441
9442
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9443
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9444
testing. (Robert Collins)
9445
9446
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9447
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9448
9449
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9450
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9451
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9452
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9453
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9454
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9455
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9456
9457
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9458
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9459
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9460
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9461
9462
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9463
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9464
9465
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9466
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
9491
********************
9492
9493
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9494
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9495
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9496
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9497
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9498
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9499
and unlock() like so::
9500
9501
work_tree.lock_read()
9502
try:
9503
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9504
finally:
9505
work_tree.unlock()
9506
9507
Internals
9508
*********
9509
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9510
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9511
object.
9512
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9513
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9514
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9515
9516
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9517
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9518
too. (Robert Collins)
9519
9520
Improvements
9521
************
9522
9523
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9524
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9525
Aaron Bentley)
9526
9527
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9528
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9529
9530
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9531
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9532
9533
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9534
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9535
understanding what changes have occurred
9536
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9537
9538
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9539
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9540
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9541
9542
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9543
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9544
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9545
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9546

9550
Bugfixes
9551
********
9552
9553
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9554
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9555
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9556
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9557
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
9558

* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9571
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9572
9573
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9574
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9575
9576
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9577
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9578
9579
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
9580

9581
9582
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
9583
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)

Notes When Upgrading
9654
********************
9655
9656
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9657
it could be recovered again.
9658
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9659
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9660
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9661
but not delete it.
9662
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9663
files.
9664
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

Improvements
9668
************
9669
9670
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9671
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9672
9673
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9674
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9675
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9676
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9677
9678
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9679
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9680
9681
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9682
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9683
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9684
9685
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9686
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9687
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9688
9689
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9690
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9691
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9692
9693
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9694
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9695
Robert Collins)
9696
9697
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9698
Pool)
9699
9700
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9701
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9702
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9703
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9704
9705
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9706
(Robert Collins)
9707
9708
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9709
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9710
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9711
(Robert Collins)
9712
9713
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9714
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9715
9716
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9717
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9718
9719
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9720
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9721
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9722
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9723
(Robert Collins)
9724
9725
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9726
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9727
9728
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9729
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9730
9731
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9732
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9733
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9734
9735
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9736
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9737
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9738
9739
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9740
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9741
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9742
9743
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9744
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9745
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9746
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9747
9748
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9749
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9750
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9751
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9752
9753
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9754
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9755
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9756
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9757
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9758
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9759
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9760
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9761
header(s).
9762
(Vincent Ladeuil).
9763
9764
Internals
9765
*********
9766
9767
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9768
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9769
9770
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9771
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9772
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9773
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9774
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9775
9776
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9777
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9778
9779
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9780
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9781
9782
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9783
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9784
9785
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9786
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9787
9788
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9789
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9790
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9791
(Robert Collins).
9792
9793
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9794
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9795
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9796
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9797
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9798
(Robert Collins)
9799
9800
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9801
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9802
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9803
9804
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9805
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9806
(Vincent Ladeuil).
9807
9808
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9809
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9810
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9811
(Vincent Ladeuil).
9812
9813
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9814
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9815
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9816
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9817
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9818
9819
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9820
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9821
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9822
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9823
9824
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9825
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9826
9827
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9828
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9829
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9830
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9831
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9832
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9833
9834
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9835
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9836
9837
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9838
help. (Robert Collins)
9839
9840
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9841
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9842
9843
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9844
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9845
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9846
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9847
(John Arbash Meinel)
9848
9849
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9850
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9851
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9852
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9853
useful. (Robert Collins)
9854
9855
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

9879
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9880
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9881
9882
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9883
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9884
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9885
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9886
9887
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9888
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9889
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9890

9895
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9896
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9897
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9898
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John

Arbash Meinel)
9900
9901
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9902

* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9907

9908
9909
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9910
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9911
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9912
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9913
security hole.
9914
(Vincent Ladeuil)

9916

9917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).

9921
9922
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9923
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9924
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9925
9926
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9927
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9928
9929
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9930
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9931
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9932
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9933
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9934
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9935
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9936
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9937
9938
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9939
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9940
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9941
9942
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9943
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9944
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9945
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9946
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9947
access.
9948
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9949
9950
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9951
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9952
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9953
9954
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9955
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

9988
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9989
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9990
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9991
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9992
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9993
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9994
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9995
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition

Surprises
10113
*********
10114
10115
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10116
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10117
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10118
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10119
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10120
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10121
10122
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10123
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10124
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10125
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10126
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10127
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10128
development.
10129
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10130
10131
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10132
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10133
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10134
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10135
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10136
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10137
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10138
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

Improvements
10141
************
10142
10143
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10144
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10145
10146
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10147
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10148
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10149
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10150
does exist.
10151
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10152
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10153
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10154
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10155
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10156
10157
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10158
(Aaron Bentley)
10159
10160
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10161
(Aaron Bentley)
10162
10163
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10164
(Robert Collins)
10165
10166
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10167
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10168
(Aaron Bentley)
10169
10170
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10171
(Aaron Bentley)
10172
10173
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10174
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10175
10176
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10177
directory. (Martin Pool)
10178
10179
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10180
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10181
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10182
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10183
10184
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10185
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10186
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10187
in docs/configuration.txt.
10188
10189
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10190
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10191
bind location.
10192
10193
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10194
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10195
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10196
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10197
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10198
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10199
10200
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10201
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10202
10203
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10204
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10205
10206
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
10207
(Aaron Bentley)

10209
Internals
10210
*********
10211
10212
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10213
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10214
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10215
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10216
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10217
(John Arbash Meinel)
10218
10219
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10220
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10221
(Aaron Bentley)
10222
10223
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10224
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10225
(John Arbash Meinel)
10226
10227
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10228
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10229
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10230
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10231
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10232
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10233
10234
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10235
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10236
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10237
10238
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10239
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10240
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10241
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10242
repository.
10243
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10244
10245
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10246
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10247
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10248
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10249
10250
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10251
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10252
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10253
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10254
10255
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10256
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10257
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10258
10259
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10260
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10261
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10262
10263
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10264
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10265
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10266
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10267
10268
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10269
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10270
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10271
10272
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10273
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10274
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10275
10276
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10277
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10278
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10279
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10280
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10281
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10282
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10283
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10284
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

10294
10295
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10296
(Aaron Bentley)
10297
10298
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10299
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
10300
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.

10369
10370
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10371
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10372
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10373
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10374
10375
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10376
(Marius Kruger)
10377
10378
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10379
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10380
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10381
10382
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to

10386
(Aaron Bentley)
10387
10388
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10389
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10390
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10391
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10392
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10393
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10394
10395
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10396
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10397
should enable you to do::
10398
10399
[/home/user/project]
10400
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10401
push_location:policy = appendpath
10402
10403
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10404
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10405
(James Henstridge)
10406
10407
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10408

$ bzr status --short
10411

10435
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10436
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10437
10438

10439
10440
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10441
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore

keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).

10458
10459
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10460
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10461
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use

10477
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10478
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10479
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10480
10481
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10482

10483
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the

10554
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on

10574
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
10575
10576
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
10577
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
10578
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``

10582
10583
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
10584
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
10585
10586
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
10587
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
10588
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
10589

10593
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
10594
10595
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
10596
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
10597
them as full references rather than integers.
10598
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)

10601
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)

* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10612

10613
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10614
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10615
10616
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10617

* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10621
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10622
10623
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10624
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10625
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can

10654
10655
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10656
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10657
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10658
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10659
10660
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10661
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10662
10663
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10664
10665
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10666
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10667
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10668
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10669
10670
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10671
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10672
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10673
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

10688
10689
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10690
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10691
(John Arbash Meinel)
10692
10693

10695
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10696
10697

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10704
10705
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10706
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10707
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10708

10709
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10710
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10711
10712
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This

* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10736

10737
10738
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10739
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10740
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when

10798
10799
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10800
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10801
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10802
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10803
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10804
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10805
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

10815
10816
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10817
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10818
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10819
(Robert Collins)
10820
10821
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10822

10823
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10824

* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based

10829
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin

10905
10906

* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10922
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10923
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10924
10925
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10926
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10927
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10928
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10929
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10930
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10931
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10932
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10933
caller to repeat their request.
10934
(John Arbash Meinel)
10935
10936
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10937
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10938
10939
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10940
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10941
10942
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10943
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10944
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10945
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10946
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10947
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10948
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10949
10950
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10951
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10952
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10953
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10954
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10955
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10956
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10957
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10958

* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10965
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10966
10967
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10968
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10969
10970
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

10977
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10978
10979
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10980
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10981
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10982
10983
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to

************
10994
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10995
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10996
10997
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10998
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10999
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11000
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11001
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11002
11003
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11004
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11005
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11006
11007
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11008
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11009
11010
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11011
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

11016
11017
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11018
11019
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11020
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11021
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)

* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11024
11025
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11026
11027
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11028
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11029
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11030
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11031
11032
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11033
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11034
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11035
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11036
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11037
11038
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11039
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11040
11041
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11042
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11043
11044
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11045
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11046
11047
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11048
in handling of revision properties.
11049
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11050
11051
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11052
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)

Internals
11055
*********
11056
11057
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11058
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11059
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11060
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11061
(John Arbash Meinel)
11062
11063
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11064
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11065
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
11073
*********
11074
11075
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11076
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11077
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11078
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11079
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11080
a more conservative list than the old default.
11081
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11082
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11083
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11084
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11085
11086
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11087
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
11091
************
11092
11093
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11094
revno:N:branch. For example,
11095
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11096
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11097
11098
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11099
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11100
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11101
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11102
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11103
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11104
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11105
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11106
#42517, #42514)
11107
11108
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11109
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11110
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11111
(Malone #3507)
11112
11113
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11114
(Alexander Belchenko)
11115
11116
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11117
11118
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11119
(Robert Collins).
11120
11121
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11122
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11123
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11124
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11125
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11126
(John Arbash Meinel)
11127
11128
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11129
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11130
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11131
grained analysis of performance.
11132
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11133
11134
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11135
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11136
11137
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11138
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11139
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11140
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11141
file. (Robert Collins).
11142
11143
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11144
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11145
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11146
11147
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11148
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11149
Matthieu Moy)
11150
11151
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11152
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11153
11154
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11155
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11156
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11157
the same way you would apply another branch.
11158
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11159
11160
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11161
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11162
11163
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11164
(Michael Ellerman)
11165
11166
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11167
(Aaron Bentley)
11168
11169
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11170
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11171
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11172
11173
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11174
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11175
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11176
11177
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11178
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11179
11180
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11181
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11182
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11183
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11184
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11185
11186
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11187
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11188
11189
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11190
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11191
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11192
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11193
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11194
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11195
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11196
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11197
11198
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11199
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11200
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

11208
11209
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11210
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11211
11212
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11213
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11214
11215
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11216
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11217
11218
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11219
11220
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11221
(John Arbash Meinel)
11222
11223
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11224
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11225
11226
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11227
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11228
and y.
11229
11230
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11231
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11232
11233
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11234
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11235
11236
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11237
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11238
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11239
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11240

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

* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11247

11252

* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11254
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11255
11256
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11257
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11258
11259
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11260
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11261
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11262
11263
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11264
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11265
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11266
11267
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11268
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11269
11270
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11271
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)

* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11274
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11275
11276
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11277
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11278
11279
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11280
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11281
11282
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11283
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11284
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11285
11286
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)

them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11296

11297
11298
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11299
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11300
11301
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11302
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11303
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11304
11305
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11306
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11307
11308
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11309
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11310
(Martin Pool)
11311
11312
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11313
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11314
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11315
11316
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11317
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11318
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11319
11320
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11321
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11322
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11323
11324
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11325
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.

11331
11332
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``

Notes When Upgrading
11409
********************
11410
11411
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11412
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11413
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11414
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11415
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11416
will keep the same format.
11417
11418
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11419
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11420
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11421
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11422
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11423
11424
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11425
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11426
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11427
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11428
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11429
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11430
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11431
11432
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11433
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11434
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11435
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11436
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11437
11438
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11439
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11440
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11441
arrangement.
11442
11443
11444
Improvements
11445
************
11446
11447
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11448
convention. Paths now take the form::
11449
11450
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11451
or
11452
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11453
11454
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11455
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
11456
11457
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11458
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11459
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11460
11461
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11462
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11463
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11464
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11465
11466
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11467
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11468
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11469
11470
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11471
11472
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11473
11474
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11475
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11476
commits::
11477
11478
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11479
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11480
| xargs bzr re-sign
11481
11482
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11483
11484
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11485
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11486
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11487
(Robert Collins)
11488
11489
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11490
11491
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11492
11493
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11494
'.moved'.
11495
11496
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11497
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11498
11499
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11500
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11501
Daniel Silverstone)
11502
11503
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11504
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11505
Martin Pool)
11506
11507
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11508
11509
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11510
11511
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11512
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11513
11514
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11515
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11516
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11517
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11518
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11519
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11520
11521
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11522
11523
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11524
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11525
(Robert Collins)
11526
11527
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11528
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11529
11530
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11531
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11532
11533
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11534
11535
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11536
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11537
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11538
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11539
specification by Martin Pool.
11540
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11541
11542
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11543
Belchenko)
11544
11545
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11546
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11547
11548
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11549
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11550
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11551
11552
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11553
11554
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11555
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11556

11560
11561
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11562
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11563
11564
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11565
11566
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11567
11568
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11569
(Olaf Conradi)
11570
11571
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11572
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11573
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11574
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11575

Internals
11577
*********
11578
11579
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11580
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11581
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11582
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11583
11584
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11585
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11586
tried. (Martin Pool)
11587
11588
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11589
(Martin Pool)
11590
11591
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11592
11593
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11594
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11595
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11596
11597
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11598
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11599
11600
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11601
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11602
paths. (Robert Collins)
11603
11604
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11605
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11606
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11607
11608
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11609
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11610
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11611
11612
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11613
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11614
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11615
11616
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11617
(Olaf Conradi)
11618
11619
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11620
(Olaf Conradi)
11621
11622
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11623
11624
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11625
11626
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11627
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11628
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11629
(Robert Collins)
11630
11631
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11632
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11633
11634
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11635
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11636
check. (Robert Collins)
11637
11638
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11639
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11640
11641
Testing
11642
*******
11643
11644
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11645
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11646
11647
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11648
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11649
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11650
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11651
11652
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11653
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11654
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11655
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11656
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11657
11658
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11659
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11660
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11661
11662
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11663
11664
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11665
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
11673
*******
11674
11675
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11676
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11677
11678
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11679
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11680
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11681
(Johan Rydberg)
11682
11683
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11684
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11685
11686
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11687
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11688
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11689
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11690
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11691
11692
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11693
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11694
used. (Robert Collins)
11695
11696
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11697
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11698
(James Henstridge)
11699
11700
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11701
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11702
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11703
11704
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11705
ignore list.
11706
11707
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11708
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

Improvements
11711
************
11712
11713
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11714
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11715
11716
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11717
11718
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11719
11720
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11721
tree. (Robert Collins)
11722
11723
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11724
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11725
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11726
(Robert Collins)
11727
11728
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11729
that they be kept.
11730
11731
* Tweaks to short log printing
11732
11733
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11734
(Aaron Bentley)
11735
11736
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11737
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11738
11739
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11740
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11741
11742
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11743
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11744
11745
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11746
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11747
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11748
11749
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11750
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11751
11752
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11753
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11754
requests.
11755
11756
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11757
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11758
11759
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11760
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11761
11762
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11763
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11764
11765
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11766
(Denys Duchier)
11767
11768
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11769
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11770
11771
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11772
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11773
11774
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11775
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11843
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11844
11845
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11846
11847
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11848
(John Arbash Meinel)
11849
11850
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11851
11852
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11853
If adding a new test script please add that to
11854
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11855
11856
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11857
imported. (Martin Pool)
11858
11859
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11860
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11861
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11862
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11863
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11864
(Robert Collins)
11865
11866
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11867
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11868
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11869
11870
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11871
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11872
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11873
11874
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11875
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11876
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11877
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11878
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11879
(Robert Collins).
11880
11881
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11882
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11883
(Robert Collins).

11887
11888
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11889
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11890
11891
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11892
function. (Robert Collins)
11893
11894
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11895
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11896
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11897
11898
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11899
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11900
(Robert Collins)
11901
11902
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11903
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11904
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11905
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11906
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11907
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11908
version. (Robert Collins)
11909
11910
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11911
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11912
11913
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11914
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11915
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11916
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11917
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11918
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11919
11920
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11921
(Robert Collins)
11922
11923
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
11924
11925
add()
11926
commit()
11927
move()
11928
rename_one()
11929
unknowns()
11930
11931
(Robert Collins)
11932
11933
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11934
11935
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11936
11937
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11938
Pool)
11939
11940
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11941
query method. (Robert Collins)
11942
11943
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11944
(Denys Duchier)
11945
11946
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11947
(Michael Ellerman)
11948
11949
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11950
(Michael Ellerman)
11951
11952
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11953
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11954
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11955
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11956
11957
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11958
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11959
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11960
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11961
11962
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11963
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

Improvements
11971
************
11972
11973
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11974
(John A Meinel)
11975
11976
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11977
conflicts.
11978
(Aaron Bentley)
11979
11980
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11981
a separator, not ':'.
11982
(Aaron Bentley)
11983
11984
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11985
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11986
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11987
11988
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11989
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11990
(Robert Collins)
11991
11992
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11993
has been added that suppresses all output.
11994
11995
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11996
Adams.
11997
11998
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11999
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12000
12001
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12002
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12003
12004
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12005
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12006
12007
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12008
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12009
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12010
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12011
12012
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12013
12014
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12015
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12016
12017
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12018
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12019
12020
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12021
output directory, if one was supplied.
12022
12023
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12024
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12025
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12026
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12027
12028
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12029
12030
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12031
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12032
12033
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12034
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12035
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12036
12037
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12038
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12039
12040
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12041
(Aaron Bentley)
12042
12043
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)

*******
12049
12050
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12051
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12052
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12053
12054
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12055
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12056
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12057
12058
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12059
is given. (Martin Pool)
12060
12061
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12062
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12063
file. (Robert Collins)
12064
12065
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
12066
(Martin Pool)
12067

Internals
12069
*********
12070
12071
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12072
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12073
representation. (Martin Pool).
12074
12075
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12076
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12077
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12078
12079
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12080
(Robert Collins)
12081
12082
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12083
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12084
Magnus Therning.
12085
12086
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12087
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12088
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12089
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12090
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12091
12092
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12093
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12094
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12095
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12096
python path. (Robert Collins)
12097
12098
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12099
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12100
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12101
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12102
12103
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12104
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12105
12106
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12107
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12108
(Robert Collins)
12109
12110
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12111
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12112
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12113
12114
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12115
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12116
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12117
12118
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12119
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12120
12121
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12122
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12123
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12124
(Robert Collins)
12125
12126
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12127
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12128
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12129
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12130
(Robert Collins)
12131
12132
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12133
(Robert Collins)
12134
12135
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12136
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12137
(Robert Collins)
12138
12139
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12140
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12141
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12142
12143
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12144
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12145
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12146
12147
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12148
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12149
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12150
12151
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12152
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12153
12154
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12155
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12156
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12157
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12158
caller. (Robert Collins)
12159
12160
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12161
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12162
(Robert Collins).
12163
12164
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12165
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12166
(Aaron Bentley)
12167
12168
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12169
12170
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12171
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

12211
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate

high-latency connections.

12223
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12224
12225
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12226
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12227
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12228

12235
12236
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its

parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12238
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12239
12240
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions

Improvements
12255
************
12256
12257
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12258
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12259
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12260
12261
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12262
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12263
'bzr upgrade'.
12264
12265
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12266
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12267
12268
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12269

12270
12271
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12272
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12273
12274
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12275
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12276
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12277
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12278
12279
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12280
12281
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12282
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12283
Gustavo Niemeyer.
12284
12285
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12286
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12287
12288
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12289

* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12307
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12308
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12309
12310
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12311
12312
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12313
we call them revisions not patches.
12314
12315
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12316
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12317
12318
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12319
giving the revision *of that file*.
12320
12321
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12322
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12323
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.

************
12387
12388
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12389
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12390
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12391
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12392
Michael Ellerman.
12393
12394
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12395
(Nir Soffer)
12396
12397
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12398
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12399
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12400
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12401
for the operating system is still tried.
12402
12403
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12404
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12405
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

12530
12531
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12532
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12533
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12534
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12535
12536
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12537
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12538
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12539
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12540
standard plugins directory.
12541
12542
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12543
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12544
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12545
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12546
12547
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12548

12549
12550
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12551
disk.
12552
12553
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12554
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12555
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12556
12557
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12558
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12559
12560
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12561
line options must come before the command name because they
12562
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12563
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12564
it.
12565
12566
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12567
12568

error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12588
12589
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12590
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12591
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12592
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12593
12594
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12595
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12596
with the ``--forward`` option.
12597

12639

Enhancements
12920
************
12921
12922
* First public release.
12923
12924
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
12925
diff, status, etc.
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
1111
implementations.
1112
1113
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
1114
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
1115
1116
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
1117
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`.
1123
1124
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
1125
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
1126
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)
1136
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)
1142
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.
1147
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1148
1149
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
1150
relative change in revno.
1151
(Martin Pool)
1152
1153
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
1154
longer raised.
1155
(Martin Pool)
1156
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)
1160
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)
1169
1170
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
1171
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
1172
1173
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
1174
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
1175
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1176
1177
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
1178
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
1179

Internals
1182
*********
1183
1184

Testing
1188
*******
1189
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)
1193
1194
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
1195
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1196
1197
* Catch socket errors to avoid
1198
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
1199
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
1200
1201
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
1202
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
1203
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)
1206
1207
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
1208
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
1209
1210
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
1211
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
1212
macrobenchmark suite.
1213
(Martin Pool)
1214
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.
1217
(Andrew Bennetts)
1218
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)
1226
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.
