* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
9
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
10
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
11
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
12
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
13
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
14
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
15
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
16
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
17
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
18
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
19
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
23
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
24
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
26
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
27
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
28
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
29
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
31
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
32
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
33
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
34
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
35
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
37
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
40
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
43
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
46
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
47
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
50
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
53
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
54
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
56
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
57
directory. (Martin Pool)
59
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
60
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
61
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
62
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
64
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
65
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
66
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
67
in docs/configuration.txt.
69
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
70
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
75
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
76
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
77
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
78
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
79
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
82
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
83
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
86
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
87
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
90
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
91
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
92
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
93
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
94
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
96
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
97
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
98
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
100
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
101
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
102
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
103
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
105
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
107
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
108
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
109
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
110
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
112
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
113
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
114
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
115
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
117
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
118
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
119
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
121
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry. log.register_formatter
122
continues to work, but callers accessed the FORMATTERS dictionary
125
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
126
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
127
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
131
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
132
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
133
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
135
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
138
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
139
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
140
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
141
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
143
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
144
password appears in the *_proxy vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
147
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
148
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
150
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
154
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
155
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
162
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
166
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
167
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
168
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
170
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
171
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
172
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
175
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
179
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
180
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
181
server, then you can write over the http connection.
182
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
184
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
187
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
188
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
189
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
191
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
192
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
194
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
197
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
198
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
199
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
200
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
201
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
202
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
204
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
205
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
206
should enable you to do::
209
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
210
push_location:policy = appendpath
212
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
213
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
216
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
217
for each file. For example::
225
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
226
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
228
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
230
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
231
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
233
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
237
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
238
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
239
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
240
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
242
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
243
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
244
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
246
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
248
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
249
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
250
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
251
(Alexander Belchenko)
253
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
256
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
257
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
259
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
263
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
264
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
266
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
267
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
268
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
269
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
270
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
272
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
273
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
275
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
276
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
278
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
280
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
282
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
283
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
284
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
285
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
286
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
288
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
289
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
290
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
291
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
293
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
294
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
296
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
297
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
299
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
300
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
302
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
303
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
308
No changes from 0.13rc1
310
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
314
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
318
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
319
operations are substantially faster.
320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
322
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
323
tree from some other url. For example:
324
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
327
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
328
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
329
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
330
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
332
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
335
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
336
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
337
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
338
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
339
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
340
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
344
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
345
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
348
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
349
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
352
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
353
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
354
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
357
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
358
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
360
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
361
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
366
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
367
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
370
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
371
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
372
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
373
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
375
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
377
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
378
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
380
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
381
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
382
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
383
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
385
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
386
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
387
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
389
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
390
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
391
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
394
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
395
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
397
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
399
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
400
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
402
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
403
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
405
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
406
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
407
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
408
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
410
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
411
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
412
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
414
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
415
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
417
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
418
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
419
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
420
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
421
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
425
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
426
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
432
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
433
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
436
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
440
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
441
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
442
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
443
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
445
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
446
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
448
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
450
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
451
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
452
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
453
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
455
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
456
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
457
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
458
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
463
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
464
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
468
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
469
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
470
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
472
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
473
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
476
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
477
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
478
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
480
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
481
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
484
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
485
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
486
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
488
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
489
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
490
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
491
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
492
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
493
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
495
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
496
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
497
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
500
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
501
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
505
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
506
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
507
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
510
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
511
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
513
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
514
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
515
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
517
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
518
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
520
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
521
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
522
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
523
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
525
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
526
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
528
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
529
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
530
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
532
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
533
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
535
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
537
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
538
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
543
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
544
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
545
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
546
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
548
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
549
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
550
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
554
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
556
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
560
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
562
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
565
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
569
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
570
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
571
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
572
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
573
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
574
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
575
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
577
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
578
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
579
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
581
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
583
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
584
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
586
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
587
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
588
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
591
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
592
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
593
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
596
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
597
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
598
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
599
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
602
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
603
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
604
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
609
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
610
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
612
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
614
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
615
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
616
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
618
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
619
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
621
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
622
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
624
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
627
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
628
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
630
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
632
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
633
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
635
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
636
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
638
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
639
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
641
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
644
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
645
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
646
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
648
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
649
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
651
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
652
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
653
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
654
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
656
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
657
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
658
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
660
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
661
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
665
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
669
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
670
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
673
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
674
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
675
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
676
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
678
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
681
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
682
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
683
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
685
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
686
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
688
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
689
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
690
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
692
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
693
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
694
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
695
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
696
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
697
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
698
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
699
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
702
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
703
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
705
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
706
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
708
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
709
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
710
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
711
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
712
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
713
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
714
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
716
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
717
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
718
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
719
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
720
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
721
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
722
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
723
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
726
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
727
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
728
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
730
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
731
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
733
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
734
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
736
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
737
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
741
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
742
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
744
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
745
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
748
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
749
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
750
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
755
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
756
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
758
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
759
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
760
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
761
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
762
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
764
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
765
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
766
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
768
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
769
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
771
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
772
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
773
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
777
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
779
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
780
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
781
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
783
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
785
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
787
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
788
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
789
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
790
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
792
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
793
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
794
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
795
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
796
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
798
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
799
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
801
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
802
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
804
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
805
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
807
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
808
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
811
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
812
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
816
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
817
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
818
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
819
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
822
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
823
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
824
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
830
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
831
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
832
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
833
specific one '.bzrignore'.
834
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
835
a more conservative list than the old default.
836
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
837
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
838
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
839
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
841
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
842
to more locations than just branch locations.
847
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
848
revno:N:branch. For example,
849
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
850
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
852
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
853
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
854
the path of a file that has been versioned.
855
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
856
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
857
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
858
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
859
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
862
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
863
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
864
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
867
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
868
(Alexander Belchenko)
870
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
872
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
875
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
876
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
877
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
878
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
879
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
882
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
883
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
884
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
885
grained analysis of performance.
886
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
888
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
889
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
891
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
892
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
893
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
894
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
895
file. (Robert Collins).
897
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
898
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
899
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
901
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
902
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
905
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
906
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
908
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
909
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
910
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
911
the same way you would apply another branch.
912
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
914
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
915
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
917
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
920
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
923
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
924
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
925
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
927
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
928
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
929
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
931
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
932
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
934
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
935
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
936
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
937
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
938
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
940
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
941
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
943
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
944
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
945
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
946
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
947
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
948
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
949
branch is as much as 4x faster.
950
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
952
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
953
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
954
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
958
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
959
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
962
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
963
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
965
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
966
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
968
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
969
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
971
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
973
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
976
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
977
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
979
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
980
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
983
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
984
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
986
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
987
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
989
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
990
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
991
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
992
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
994
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
995
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
997
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
999
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1000
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1002
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1004
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1006
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1007
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1009
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1010
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1012
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1013
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1014
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1016
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1017
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1018
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1020
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1021
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1023
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1024
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1026
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1027
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1029
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1030
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1032
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1033
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1035
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1036
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1037
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1039
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1041
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1042
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1046
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1047
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1048
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1050
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1051
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1053
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1054
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1055
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1057
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1058
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1060
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1061
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1064
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1065
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1066
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1068
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1069
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1070
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1072
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1073
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1074
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1076
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1077
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1078
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1080
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1081
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1082
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1084
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1085
instead. (Robert Collins)
1087
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1089
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1093
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1095
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1099
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1100
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1102
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1103
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1105
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1106
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1107
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1111
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1113
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1114
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1116
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1120
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1121
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1122
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1123
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1127
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1128
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1129
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1133
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1134
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1135
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1139
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1140
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1144
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1146
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1147
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1148
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1149
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1150
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1151
will keep the same format.
1153
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1154
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1155
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1156
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1157
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1159
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1160
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1161
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1162
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1163
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1164
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1165
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1167
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1168
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1169
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1170
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1171
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1173
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1174
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1175
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1181
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1182
convention. Paths now take the form:
1183
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1185
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1187
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1188
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1190
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1191
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1192
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1194
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1195
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1196
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1197
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1199
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1200
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1203
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1205
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1207
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1208
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
1209
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1210
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1213
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1215
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1216
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1217
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1220
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1222
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1224
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1227
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1228
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1230
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1231
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1234
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1235
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1238
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1240
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1242
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1243
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1245
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1246
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1247
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1248
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1249
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1250
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1252
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1254
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1255
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1258
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1259
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1261
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1262
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1264
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1266
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1267
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1268
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1269
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1270
specification by Martin Pool.
1271
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1273
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1276
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1277
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1279
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1280
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1281
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1283
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1285
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1286
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1291
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1292
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1294
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1296
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1298
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1301
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1302
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1303
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1304
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1308
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1309
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1310
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1311
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1313
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1314
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1315
tried. (Martin Pool)
1317
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1320
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1322
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1323
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1324
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1326
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1327
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1329
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1330
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1331
paths. (Robert Collins)
1333
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1334
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1335
needs. (Robert Collins)
1337
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1338
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1339
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1341
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1342
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1344
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1347
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1350
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1352
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1354
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1355
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1356
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1359
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1360
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1362
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1363
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1364
check. (Robert Collins)
1366
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1367
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1371
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1372
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1374
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1375
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1376
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1377
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1379
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1380
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1381
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1382
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1383
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1385
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1386
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1387
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1389
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1391
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1392
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1398
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1399
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1401
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1402
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1403
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1406
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1407
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1409
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1410
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1411
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1412
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1413
(John Arbash Meinel)
1415
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1416
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1417
used. (Robert Collins)
1419
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1420
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1423
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1424
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1425
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1427
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1430
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1431
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1435
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1436
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1438
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1440
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1442
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1443
tree. (Robert Collins)
1445
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1446
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1447
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1450
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1453
* Tweaks to short log printing
1455
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1458
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1459
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1461
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1462
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1464
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1465
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1467
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1468
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1469
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1471
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1472
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1474
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1475
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1478
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1479
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1481
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1482
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1484
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1485
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1487
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1490
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1491
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1493
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1494
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1496
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1497
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1498
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1502
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1504
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1506
* Error when run with -OO
1508
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1511
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1513
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1515
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1516
ignored by diff and status
1518
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1519
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1521
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1523
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1525
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1526
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1528
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1529
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1531
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1534
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1535
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1537
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1539
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1540
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1542
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1545
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1548
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1552
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1553
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1555
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1557
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1559
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1561
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1562
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1563
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1565
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1567
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1568
(John Arbash Meinel)
1570
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1572
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1573
If adding a new test script please add that to
1574
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1576
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1577
imported. (Martin Pool)
1579
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1580
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1581
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1582
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1583
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1586
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1587
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1588
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1590
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1591
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1592
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1594
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1595
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1596
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1597
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1598
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1601
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1602
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1607
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1608
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1610
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1611
function. (Robert Collins)
1613
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1614
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1615
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1617
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1618
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1620
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1621
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1622
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1623
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1624
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1625
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1626
version. (Robert Collins)
1628
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1629
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1631
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1632
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1633
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1634
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1635
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1636
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1638
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1641
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1649
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1651
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1653
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1656
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1657
query method. (Robert Collins)
1659
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1662
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1665
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1669
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1670
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1671
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1672
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1674
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1675
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1676
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1677
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1679
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1680
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1686
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1689
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1693
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1694
a separator, not ':'.
1697
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1698
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1699
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1701
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1702
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1705
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1706
has been added that suppresses all output.
1708
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1711
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1712
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1714
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1715
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1717
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1718
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1720
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1721
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1722
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1723
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1725
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1727
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1728
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1730
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1731
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1733
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1734
output directory, if one was supplied.
1736
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1737
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1738
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1739
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1741
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1743
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1744
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1746
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1747
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1748
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1750
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1751
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1753
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1756
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1758
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1762
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1763
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1764
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1766
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1767
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1768
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1770
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1771
is given. (Martin Pool)
1773
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1774
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1775
file. (Robert Collins)
1777
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1782
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1783
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1784
representation. (Martin Pool).
1786
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1787
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1788
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1790
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1793
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1794
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1797
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1798
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1799
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1800
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1801
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1803
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1804
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1805
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1806
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1807
python path. (Robert Collins)
1809
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1810
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1811
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1812
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1814
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1815
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1817
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1818
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1821
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1822
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1823
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1825
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1826
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1827
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1829
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1830
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1832
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1833
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1834
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1837
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1838
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1839
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1840
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1843
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1846
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1847
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1850
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1851
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1852
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1854
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1855
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1856
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1858
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1859
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1860
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1862
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1863
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1865
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1866
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1867
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1868
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1869
caller. (Robert Collins)
1871
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1872
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1875
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1876
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1878
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1880
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1881
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1885
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1886
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1888
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1889
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1892
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1896
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1897
allow directories to be listed.
1899
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1900
upgrading branch format.
1904
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1911
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1912
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1913
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1914
high-latency connections.
1918
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1921
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1922
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1924
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1925
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1926
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1927
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1929
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1930
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1932
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1933
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1935
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1936
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1937
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1939
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1940
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1941
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1944
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1945
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1947
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1948
different partial views of history.
1950
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1951
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1955
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1956
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1957
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1959
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1960
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1963
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1964
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1966
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1969
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1970
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1972
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1973
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1974
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1975
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1977
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1979
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1980
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1983
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1984
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1986
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1987
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1988
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1993
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1994
for your viewing pleasure.
1996
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1997
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1999
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2000
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2001
handling of such circumstances.
2006
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2007
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2009
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2010
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2013
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2017
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2019
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2022
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2024
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2026
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2027
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2031
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2032
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2034
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2035
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2036
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2037
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2040
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2041
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2045
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2047
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2048
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2051
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2055
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2056
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2057
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2058
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2061
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2064
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2065
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2066
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2067
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2068
for the operating system is still tried.
2070
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2071
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2072
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2077
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2081
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2083
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2086
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2092
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2094
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2097
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2101
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2102
help with intelligent shell completion.
2104
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2109
* Much better merge support.
2111
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2112
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2118
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2119
mention revisions that are not present.
2121
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2123
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2125
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2126
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2131
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2133
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2134
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2140
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2141
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2146
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2150
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2151
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2153
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2155
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2156
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2158
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2161
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2163
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2166
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2167
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2169
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2170
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2171
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2176
* Faster working tree operations.
2181
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2182
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2183
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2184
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2186
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2187
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2188
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2189
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2190
standard plugins directory.
2192
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2193
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2194
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2195
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2197
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2198
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2200
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2203
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2204
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2205
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2207
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2208
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2210
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2211
line options must come before the command name because they
2212
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2213
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2216
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2218
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2219
is available with ``--short``.
2224
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2227
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2231
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2232
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2234
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2235
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2236
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2237
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2239
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2240
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2241
with the ``--forward`` option.
2243
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2244
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2250
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2251
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2253
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2255
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2256
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2258
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2260
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2261
either read or write mode.
2263
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2265
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2268
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2270
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2271
suggested by LarstiQ.
2273
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2274
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2276
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2279
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2280
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2282
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2283
haven't changed since the previous time.
2285
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2286
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2288
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2290
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2292
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2293
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2295
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2296
options through to an external GNU diff.
2298
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2301
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2307
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2308
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2310
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2316
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2317
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2320
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2321
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2323
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2324
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2326
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2327
under a different version.
2329
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2334
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2336
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2337
Scott James Remnant.
2339
* Better help messages for many commands.
2341
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2342
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2344
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2345
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2347
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2349
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2351
* New AtomicFile class.
2353
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2358
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2359
2.4 is now only recommended.
2362
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2366
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2367
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2369
* More default ignore patterns.
2371
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2372
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2374
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2376
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2379
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2384
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2385
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2386
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2387
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2388
there are DNS problems.
2390
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2395
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2397
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2399
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2400
trailing newlines properly.
2405
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2408
* More tests in test.sh.
2410
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2411
directory and delete it when done.
2413
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2418
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2421
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2425
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2429
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
2432
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
2434
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2437
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2440
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2442
* New cat command contributed by janmar.

* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2447
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2452
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2453
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2458
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2462
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
2469
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
2476
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
2478
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
2479
rather than replacing it.
2481
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
2485
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
2488
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
2489
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
2491
* Performance improvements.
2493
* New global --profile option.
2495
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
2496
the root directory only.

2510
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
2514
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.

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

230
plugins because it's often too long.

242
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
243
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
244
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
245
has been added in the interim
246
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed
247
in python > 2.7.1). (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)

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