Compatibility Breaks
15
********************
16
17
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
18
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
19
(Martin Pool)
20
21
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` has been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
22
23
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
24
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
25
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
26
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
27
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
28
(Vincent Ladeuil)

New Features
31
************
32
33
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
34
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
35
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
36
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
37
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
38
39
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
40
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
41
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
42
(Vincent Ladeuil)
43
44
Bug Fixes
45
*********
46
47
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
48
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
49
50
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
51
(Michal Junák, #511987)
52
53
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
54
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
55
56
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
57
(Martin Pool, #331095)
58
59
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
60
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
61
62
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
63
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
64
65
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
66
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
67
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
68
69
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
70
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
71
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
72
73
API Changes
74
***********
75
76
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
77
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
78
to be done separately.
79
(Martin Pool, #507710)
80
81
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
82
(Martin Pool)
83
84
Testing
85
*******
86
87
* New `bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff` can make assertions about what
88
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
89
dependency regressions.
90
(Martin Pool)
91
92
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
93
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)

bzr 2.1.0

#########

98
:Codename: Strasbourg
99
:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
100
101
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
102
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
103
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
104
105
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
106
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
107
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
108
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
109
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
110
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
111
112
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
113
114
Bug Fixes
115
*********
116
117
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
119
120
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
121
(Martin Pool, #513432)
122
123
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
124
when it encounters conflicts.
125
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
126
127
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
129
130
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
131
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
132
133
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
134
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
135
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
136
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
137
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
138
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
139
140
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
141
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
142
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
143
144
Improvements
145
************
146
147
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
148
Vernooij)
149
150
API Changes
151
***********
152
153
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
154
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
155
(Jelmer Vernooij)
156
157
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
158
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
159
(Jelmer Vernooij)
160
161
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
162
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
163
164
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
165
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
166
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
167
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
168
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
169
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
170
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
171
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
172
173
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
174
regressions.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
176
177
Internals
178
*********
179
180
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
181
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
182
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
183
in ``do_merge``.
184
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
185
186
API Changes
187
***********
188
189
* The ``remove_index`` method of
190
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
191
argument. This argument was always ignored.
192
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)

bzr 2.1.0rc2
195
############
196
197
:Codename: after the bubbles
198
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
199
200
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
201
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
202
203
API Changes
204
***********
205
206
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
207
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
208
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
209
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
210
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
211
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
212
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
213

215
bzr 2.1.0rc1
216
############
217
218
:Codename: the 'new' stable
219
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
220
221
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
222
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
223
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
224
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
225
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
226
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
227
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
228
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
229
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
230
231
232
New Features
233
************
234
235
* Add bug information to log output when available.
236
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
237
238
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
239
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
240
particular files.
241
242
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
243
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
244
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
245
(Andrew Bennetts)
246
247
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
248
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
249
250
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
251
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
252
253
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
254
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
255
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
256
257
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
258
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
259
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
260
Martin Pool, #45719)
261
262
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
263
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
264
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
265
266
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
267
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
268
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
269
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
270
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
271
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
272
273
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
274
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
275
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
276
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
277
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
278
279
Bug Fixes
280
*********
281
282
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
283
user-specified commit message editor.
284
(Martin Pool, #504842)
285
286
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
287
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
288
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
289
290
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
291
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
292
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
293
294
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
295
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
296
297
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
298
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
299
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
300
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
301
another process already removed the file.
302
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
303
304
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
305
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
306
307
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
308
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
309
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
310
311
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
312
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
313
314
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
316
317
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
319
320
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
321
(Martin Pool, #320035)
322
323
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
324
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
325
depended on this behaviour.
326
(Martin Pool, #499757)
327
328
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
329
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
330
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
331
should appear up-to-date.)
332
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
333
334
Improvements
335
************
336
337
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
338
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
339
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
340
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
341
342
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
343
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
344
345
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
346
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
347
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
348
349
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
350
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
351
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
352
353
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
354
(__monty__, #257170)
355
356
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
357
Bazaar is doing network IO.
358
(Martin Pool)
359
360
Documentation
361
*************
362
363
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
364
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
365
366
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
367
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
368
369
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
370
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
371
372
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
373
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
374
375
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
376
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
377
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
378
379
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
380
(Ian Clatworthy)
381
382
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
383
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
384
(Ian Clatworthy)
385
386
API Changes
387
***********
388
389
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
390
(Andrew Bennetts)
391
392
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
393
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
394
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
395
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
396
397
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
398
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
399
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
400
401
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
402
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
403
404
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
405
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
406
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
407
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
408
409
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
410
parameter.
411
412
Internals
413
*********
414
415
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
416
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
417
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
418
419
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
420
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
421
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
422
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
423
424
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
425
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
426
427
Testing
428
*******
429
430
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
431
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
432
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
433
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
434
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
435
436
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
437
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
438
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
439
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
440
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
441
suite. (Robert Collins)
442
443
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
444
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
445
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
446
447
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
448
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

:Codename: smooth sailing
479
:2.0.4: 2010-01-21
480
481
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
482
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
483
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
484
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
485
486
487
Bug Fixes
488
*********
489
490
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
491
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
492
493
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
494
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
495
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
496
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
497
498
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
499
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
500
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
501
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
502
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
503
504
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
505
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
506
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
507
508
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
509
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
510
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
511
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
512
513
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
514
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
515
516
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
517
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
518
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
519
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
520
(Martin Pool, #456077)
521
522
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
523
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
524
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
525
users, rather than something nicer.
526
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
527
528
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
529
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
530
531
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
532
build. (there is still the distutils bug
533
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
534
535
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
536
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
537
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
538
539
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
540
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
541
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
542
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
543
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
544
545
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
546
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
547
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
548
549
Testing
550
*******
551
552
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
553
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
554
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
555
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

563
564
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
565
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
566
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
567
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
568
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
569
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
573
********************
574
575
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
576
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
577
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
578
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
579
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)

New Features
582
************
583
584
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
585
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
586
587
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
588
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
589
590
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
591
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
592
593
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
594
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
595
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
596
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
597
lengths.
598
(Vincent Ladeuil)
599
600
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
601
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
602
is installed.

Bug Fixes
607
*********
608
609
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
610
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
611
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
612
613
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
614
and issues a warning.
615
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
616
617
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
618
619
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
620
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
621
622
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
623
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
624
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
625
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
626
627
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
628
629
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
630

631
632
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)

* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
635
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
636
637
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
638
639
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
640
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
641
642
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
643
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
644
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
645
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
646
windows too.
647

648
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
649
650
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
651
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
652
653
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
654
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
655
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
656
657
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
658
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
659
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
660
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
661
662
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
663
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
664
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
665
666
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
667
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
668
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
669
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
670
671
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
672
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

Improvements
677
************
678
679
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
680
681
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
682
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
683
684
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
685
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
686
(John Arbash Meinel)
687
688
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
689
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
690
Hudson)
691
692
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
693
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
694
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
695
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
696
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

716
717
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
718
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
719
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
720
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
721
722
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
723
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
724
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
725
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
726
(John Arbash Meinel)
727
728
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
729
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
730
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
731
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
732
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
733
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: after sprint recovery

:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
776
777
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
778
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
779
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
780
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
781
782
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
783
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
784

805
806
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
807
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
808
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
809
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
810
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
811
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
812
813
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
814
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
815
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
816
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
817
818
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
819
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)

* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
822
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
823
824
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
825
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
826
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
827
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
828
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
829
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
830
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)

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

865
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.

868
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
869
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
870
871
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
872
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
873
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
874
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
875
876
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
877
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
878
879
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
880
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
881
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
882
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
883
884
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
885
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
886
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable

This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the

902
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
903
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
904
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
905
many operations.
906
907
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
908
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
909
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
910
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
911
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
912
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)

*********
916
917
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
918
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
919
920
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
921
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
922
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
923
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
924
925
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
926
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
927
928
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
929
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
930
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
931
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
932
933
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
934
files. (Aaron Bentley)
935
936
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
937
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)

Improvements
940
************
941
942
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
943
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
944
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
945
(John Arbash Meinel)
946
947
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
948
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)

959
960
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
961
962
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
963
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.

Internals
967
*********
968
969
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
970
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
971
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
972
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
973
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
974
(John Arbash Meinel)
975
976
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
977
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
978
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
979
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
980
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
981
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
982
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
983
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
984
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
985
986
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
987
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
988
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
989
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
990
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
991
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
992
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
993
994
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
995
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
996
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
997
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 2.1.0b1

1050
:Codename: While the cat is away
1051
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1052
1053
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1054
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1055
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1056
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1057
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1058
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1059
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1060
1061
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1062
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1063
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1064
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
1068
************
1069
1070
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1071
(Brian de Alwis)
1072
1073
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1074
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1075
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1076
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1077
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1078
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1079
1080
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1081
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1082
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1083
1084
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1085
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1086
method.
1087
1088
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1089
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1090
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1091
1092
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1093
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1094
(Arkanes)
1095
1096
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1097
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
1101
*********
1102
1103
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1104
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1105
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1106
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1107
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1108
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1109
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1110
1111
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1112
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1113
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1114
1115
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1116
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1117
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1119
1120
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1121
merges are present in the working tree.
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1123
1124
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1125
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1126
1127
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1128
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1129
1130
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1132
1133
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1134
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1136
1137
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1138
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1139
1140
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1141
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1142
1143
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1145
1146
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1147
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.

************
1152
1153
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1154
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1155
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1156
1157
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1158
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1159
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1160
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1161
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1162
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1163

1165
1166
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1167
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1168
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1169
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

API Changes
1181
***********
1182
1183
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1184
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1185
1186
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1187
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1188
1189
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1190
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1191
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1192
1193
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1194
(Martin Pool)
1195
1196
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1197
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1198
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1199
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1200
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1201
been deprecated.
1202
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)

* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1211
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1212
(Andrew Bennetts)
1213
1214
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1215
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1216
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1217
(John Arbash Meinel)
1218
1219
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1220
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1221
(Robert Collins)
1222
1223
Testing
1224
*******
1225
1226
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1227
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1228
1229
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1230
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1231
1232
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1233
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1234
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1235
1236
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1237
a long time.
1238
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1239
1240
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1241
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1242
1243
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1244
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1245
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1246
1247
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1248
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1249
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1250
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1251
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1252
1253
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1254
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1255
1256
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1257
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)

1281
1282
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1283
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1284
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1285
1286
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1287
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1288
1289
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1290
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1291
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1292
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.

* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1296
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1297
1298
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1299
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1300
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)

1303
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1304
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1305
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1306
1307
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1308
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1309
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1310
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1311
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1312
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1313
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1314
1315
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1316
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1317
1318
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1319
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1320
to download the entire cix file many times.
1321
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1322
1323
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible

1341
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1342
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1343
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1344
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1345
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1346
existing projects.)
1347
1348
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1349
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1350
1351
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1352
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six

Bug Fixes
1377
*********
1378
1379
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1380
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1381
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1382
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1383
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1384
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1385
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1386
1387
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1388
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1389
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1390
1391
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1392
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1393
1394
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1395
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1396
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1397
1398
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1399
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1400
1401
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
1402
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
1403
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
1404
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
1405
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
1406
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
1407
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
1408
1409
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
1410
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
1411
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
1412
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
1413
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
1414
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
1415
1416
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
1417
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
1418
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1419
1420
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
1421
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
1422
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1423
1424
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
1425
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
1426
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
1427
1428
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1429
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
1432
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
1433
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.

1443
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1444
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1445
1446
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
1447
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
1448
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
1449
1450
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
1451
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
1452
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)

1454

********************
1466
1467
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
1468
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
1469
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
1470
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
1471
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
1472
1473
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
1474
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
1475
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.

(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1489
1490
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
1491
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
1492
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
1493
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
1494
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)

1508
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
1509
1510
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
1511
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
1512
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.

1520
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1521
1522
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
1523
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
1524
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
1525
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
1526
``bazaar.conf``.

* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
1533
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1534
1535
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
1536
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
1537
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
1538
1539
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
1540
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
1541
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
1542
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
1543
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
1544
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)

1626
1627
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
1628
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
1629
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the

(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1641
1642
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
1643
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
1644
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
1645
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
1646
1647
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK

* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
1652

1653
1654
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
1655
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository

1665
1666
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
1667
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
1668
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
1669
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
1670
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)

* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
1673
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For

This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
1728
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
1729
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
1730
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
1731
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
1732
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
1733

* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
1754
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
1755
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
1756
1757
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
1758
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
1759
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
1760
(Martin Pool, #123688)
1761
1762
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
1763
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
1764
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
1765
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
1766
1767
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
1768
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
1769
1770
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
1771
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
1772
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
1773
(Robert Collins, #282402)
1774
1775
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
1776
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
1777
1778
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
1779
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
1780
1781
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
1782
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
1783
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
1784
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
1785
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
1786
1787
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
1788
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
1789
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
1790
1791
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
1792
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
1793
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
1794
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
1795
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)

* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
1798
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
1799
1800
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
1801
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
1802

1805
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.

* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
1809

1810
1811
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
1812
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
1813
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
1814
1815
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
1816
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)

1818
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
1819
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)

1822
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)

* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
1825
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
1826
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
1827
1828
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
1829
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
1830
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
1831
1832
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1833
1834
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
1835
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
1836
1837
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
1838
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
1839
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
1840
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
1841
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
1842
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
1843
1844
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1845
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1846
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1847
1848
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
1849
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
1850
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
1851
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
1852
1853
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
1854
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
1855
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
1856
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
1857
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
1858
1859
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
1860
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.

1865
1866
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
1867
(Marius Kruger)
1868
1869
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
1870
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
1871
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
1872
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
1873
1874
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
1875
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.

API Changes
1884
***********
1885
1886
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
1887
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
1888
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
1889
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
1890
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
1891
passwords. (Martin Pool)
1892
1893
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
1894
(Aaron Bentley)
1895
1896
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
1897

* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
1900
UIFactory.
1901
(Martin Pool)
1902
1903
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
1904
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
1905
1906
Internals
1907
*********
1908
1909
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
1910
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
1911
paths. (Robert Collins)
1912
1913
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
1914
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
1915
1916
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
1917
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
1918
disk. (Robert Collins)
1919
1920
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
1921
it. (Robert Collins)
1922
1923
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
1924
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.

1934
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
1935
(Martin Pool, #408199)
1936
1937
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
1938
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
1939
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
1940
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
1941
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
1942
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

1964
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
1965

1966
1967
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
1968

*********************************
1975
1976
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C

api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
1978
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)

********************
1990
1991
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
1992
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The

New Features
1998
************
1999
2000
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2001
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2002
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2003
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2004
2005
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2006
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2007
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2008
2009
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2010
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2011
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2012
behavior.
2013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2014
2015
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2016
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2017
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2018
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)

*********
2023
2024
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2025
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2026
2027
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2028
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2029
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2030
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2031
2032
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2033
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2034
2035
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2036
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2037
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2038
2039
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2040
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2041
2042
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2043
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2044
2045
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2046
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2047
2048
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2049
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2050
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2051
2052
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2053
(Ian Clatworthy)
2054
2055
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2056
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2057
2058
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2059
of a remote repository.
2060
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2061
2062

2063
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2064
(Andrew Bennetts)
2065
2066
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2067
transforms.
2068
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2069
2070
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2071
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2072
2073
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2074
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2075
2076
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2077
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2078
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2079
2080
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2081
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2082
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2083
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2084
(John Arbash Meinel)
2085
2086
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2087
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2088
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2089
2090
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2091
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2092
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2093
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2094
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2095
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2096
2097
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2098
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2099
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2100
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2101
activity display respectively.
2102
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2103
2104
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2105
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2106
2107
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2108
(Martin Pool)
2109
2110
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.

Internals
2115
*********
2116
2117
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2118
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2119
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2120
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2121
2122
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2123
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2124
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2125
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2126
(Robert Collins)
2127
2128
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2129
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2130
2131
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2132
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2133
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2134
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2135
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2136
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2137
2138
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2139
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2140
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2141
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2142
2143
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2144
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2145
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2146
(John Arbash Meinel)
2147
2148
2149
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2150
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2151
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2152
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2153
2154
2155
Improvements
2156
************
2157
2158
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2159
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2160
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2161
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2162
2163
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2164
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2165
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2166
2167
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2168
(Benoît PIERRE)
2169
2170
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2171
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2172
2173
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2174
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2175
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2176
2177
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2178
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2179
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2180
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2181
2182
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2183
2184
2185
Documentation
2186
*************
2187
2188
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2189
formatting in the user reference.
2190
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2191
2192
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.

***********
2197
2198
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2199
(Martin Pool)
2200
2201
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2202
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2203
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

##########
2208
2209
:Released: 2009-06-26
2210
2211
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2212
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2213
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2214
intermittently.
2215
2216
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2217
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2218
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2219
2220
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2221
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2222
2223
Bug Fixes
2224
*********
2225
2226
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2227
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2228
2229
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2230
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2231
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2232
2233
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2234
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2235
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2236
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2237
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2238
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2239
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2240
2241
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2242
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2243
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2246
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2247
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2250
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2251
that. (Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2254
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2255
repository. (Robert Collins)
2256
2257
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2258
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2259
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2260
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

New Features
2301
************
2302
2303
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2304
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2305
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2306
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2307
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2308
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2309
in bzr 2.0.
2310
2311
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2312
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2313
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2314
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2315
2316
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2317
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2318
2319
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2320
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2321
2322
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2323
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2324
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2325
2326
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2327
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)

2333
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2334
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2335
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2336
2337
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2338
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2339
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2340
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2341
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2342
2343
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2344
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2345
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2346
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2347
2348
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2349
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
2350
* diff (2X faster)
2351
* tags (70X faster)

* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support

* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2371
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2372
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)

2374
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2375
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2376
2377
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2378
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2379
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2380
2381
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2382

2383
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.

* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2393
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2394
2395
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2396
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2397
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2398
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2399
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
2400
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
2401
bug-free) methods.
2402
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
2403
2404
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
2405
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
2406
2407
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
2408
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
2409
2410
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
2411
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
2412
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
2413
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
2414
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
2415
2416
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
2417
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.

2586
2587
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2588
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2589
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2590
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2591
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2592
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2593
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2594
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2595
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2596
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2597
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2598
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2599
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2600
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)

or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
2638
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb

``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
2640
configuration. (Robert Collins)

called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
2644
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)

2664
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
2665
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2666
2667
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
2668
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
2669
2670
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
2671
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new

2735
2736
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
2737
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
2738
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
2739
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
2740
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2741
2742
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
2743
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
2744
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
2745
2746
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
2747
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
2748
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
2749
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
2750
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2751
2752
New Features
2753
************
2754
2755
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
2756
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
2757
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
2758
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
2759
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
2760
(Ian Clatworthy)
2761
2762
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
2763
(Aaron Bentley)
2764
2765
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
2766
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2767
2768
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
2769
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
2770
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
2771
directory, not just the directory object itself.
2772
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
2773
2774
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
2775
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
2776
2777
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
2778
(Aaron bentley)
2779
2780
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
2781
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
2782
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
2783
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
2784
(Ian Clatworthy)
2785
2786
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
2787
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
2788
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
2789
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
2790
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2791
2792
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
2793
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
2794
(Ian Clatworthy)
2795
2796
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
2797
(Aaron Bentley)
2798
2799
Improvements
2800
************
2801
2802
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
2803
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
2804
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
2805
2806
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
2807
the data when the target repository does not need topological
2808
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
2809
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
2810
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2811
2812
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
2813
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
2814
(Ian Clatworthy)
2815
2816
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
2817
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
2818
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
2819
2820
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
2821
(Ian Clatworthy)
2822
2823
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
2824
(Ian Clatworthy)
2825
2826
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
2827
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2828
2829
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2830
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2831
2832
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
2833
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
2834
2835
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
2836
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
2837
#294479)
2838
2839
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
2840
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
2841
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2842
2843
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
2844
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
2845
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
2846
(Ian Clatworthy)
2847
2848
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
2849
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
2850
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
2851
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
2852
2853
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
2854
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
2855
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
2856
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
2857
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
2858
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
2859
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
2860
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
2861
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2862
2863
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!

Bug Fixes
2867
*********
2868
2869
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2870
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2871
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2872
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2873
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2874
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2875
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2876
2877
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2878
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2879
2880
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
2881
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
2882
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
2883
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
2884
2885
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
2886
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
2887
2888
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
2889
2890
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2891
#313028)
2892
2893
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2894
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2895
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2896
2897
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2898
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2899
2900
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
2901
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
2902
2903
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
2904
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
2905
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
2906
2907
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
2908
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
2909
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
2910
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2911
2912
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2913
2914
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
2915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
2916
2917
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
2918
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
2919
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
2920
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
2921
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
2922
2923
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2924
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2925
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2926
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2927
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2928
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2929
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2930
2931
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
2932
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
2933
2934
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
2935
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
2936
(Andrea Bolognani)
2937
2938
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
2939
(James Westby, #341558)
2940
2941
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
2942
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
2943
2944
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
2945
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)

2947
Documentation
2948
*************
2949
2950
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
2951
2952
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
2953
2954
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.

API Changes
2958
***********
2959
2960
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
2961
(Martin Pool)
2962
2963
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
2964
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
2965
(Robert Collins)
2966
2967
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
2968
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
2969
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2970
2971
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
2972
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
2973
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
2974
2975
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
2976
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
2977
Meinel, Robert Collins)
2978
2979
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
2980
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
2981
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
2982
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
2983
(Ian Clatworthy)
2984
2985
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
2986
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
2987
(Jean-Francois Roy)
2988
2989
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
2990
(Martin Pool)
2991
2992
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
2993
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2994
2995
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2996
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2997
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2998
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2999
3000
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3001
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3002
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3003
3004
Testing
3005
*******
3006
3007
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3008
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3009
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3010
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3011
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3012
3013
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3015
3016
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3017
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3018
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3019
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3020
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3021
3022
Internals
3023
*********
3024
3025
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3026
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3027
3028
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3029
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3030
3031
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3032
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3033
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3034
3035
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3036
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3037
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3038
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3039
3040
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3041
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3042
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3043
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3044
3045
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3046
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3047
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3048
3049
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3050
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3051
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3052
3053
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3054
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3055
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3058
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3059
(Robert Collins)
3060
3061
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3062
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3063
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3064
3065
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3066
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3067
3068
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3069
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3070
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3071
3072
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3073
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3074
(Jelmer Vernooij)
3075
3076
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3077
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3078
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3079
3080
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3081
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3082
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3083
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3084
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3085
3086
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3087
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3088
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3089
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3090
3091
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3092
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3093
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3094
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3095
3096
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3097
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3098
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3099
3100
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3101
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3102
(Andrew Bennetts)
3103
3104
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3105
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3106
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3107
3108
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3109
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3110
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3111
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3112
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3113
3114
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3115
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3116
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3117
Vincent Ladeuil)
3118
3119
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3120
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3121
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3122
desired. (Robert Collins)
3123
3124
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3125
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3126
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3127
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3128
3129
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3130
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3131
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3148
*****************************
3149
3150
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3151
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3152
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3153
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3154
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3155
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3156
appeared now.

3179
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3180
3181
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3182
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3183
3184
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3185
3186
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3187
*********************************
3188
3189
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3190
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3191
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3192
3193
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3194
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3195
3196
Compatibility Breaks
3197
********************
3198
3199
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3200
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3201
command may need to be adjusted.
3202
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3203
3204
New Features
3205
************
3206
3207
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3208
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3209
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3210
3211
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3212
(Martin Pool)
3213
3214
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3215
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3216
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3217
(Ian Clatworthy)
3218
3219
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3220
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3221
3222
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3223
(John Arbash Meinel)
3224
3225
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3226
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3227
3228
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3229
3230
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3231
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3232
(Jonathan Lange)
3233
3234
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3235
(Jonathan Lange)
3236
3237
Improvements
3238
************
3239
3240
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3241
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3242
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3243
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3244
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3245
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3246
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3247
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3248
(Robert Collins)
3249
3250
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3251
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3252
3253
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3254
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3255
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3256
3257
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3258
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3259
3260
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3261
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3262
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3263
(Ian Clatworthy)
3264
3265
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3266
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3267
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3268
3269
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3270
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3271
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3272
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3273
3274
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3275
(Jelmer Vernooij)
3276
3277
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3278
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3279
3280
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3281
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3282
3283
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3284
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3285
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3286
3287
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3288
3289
Bug Fixes
3290
*********
3291
3292
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3293
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3294
3295
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3296
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3297
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3298
3299
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3300
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3302
3303
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3304
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3305
3306
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3307
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3308
Vernooij, #315048)
3309
3310
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3311
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3312
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3313
3314
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3315
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3316
3317
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3318
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3319
3320
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3321
(James Westby, #174539)
3322
3323
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3324
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3325
3326
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3327
error branching from old repositories.
3328
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3329
3330
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3331
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3332
3333
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3334
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3335
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3336
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3337
3338
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3339
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3340
#334808)
3341
3342
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3343
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3344
3345
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3346
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3347
3348
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3349
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3350
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3351
3352
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3353
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
3354
3355
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
3356
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
3357
3358
Documentation
3359
*************
3360
3361
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3362
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3363
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3364
(Ian Clatworthy)
3365
3366
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3367
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3368
3369
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
3370
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
3371
3372
API Changes
3373
***********
3374
3375
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3376
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3377
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3378
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3379
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3380
3381
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3382
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3383
3384
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3385
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3386
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3387
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3388
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3389
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3390
3391
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3392
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3393
3394
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3395
"author" argument being deprecated.
3396
3397
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3398
3399
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
3400
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
3401
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
3402
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
3403
3404
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
3405
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
3406
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
3407
3408
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
3409
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
3410
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
3411
3412
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
3413
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
3414
3415
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
3416
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
3417
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
3418
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
3419
3420
Internals
3421
*********
3422
3423
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
3424
free of virtual file system methods.
3425
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3426
3427
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
3428
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
3429
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
3430
3431
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
3432
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
3433
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
3434
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
3435
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
3436
(Robert Collins, #334187)
3437
3438
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
3439
3440
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
3441
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
3442
3443
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
3444
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
3445
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
3446
stream the operation.
3447
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3448
3449
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
3450
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
3451
3452
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
3453
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
3454
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
3455
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
3456
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3457
3458
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
3459
branch object. (Robert Collins)
3460
3461
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
3462
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
3463
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
3464
3465
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
3466
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
3467
(Robert Collins)
3468
3469
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
3470
(Robert Collins)
3471
3472
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
3473
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
3474
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3475
3476
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
3477
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
3478
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3479
3480
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
3481
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
3482
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3483
3484
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
3485
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
3486
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3487
3488
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
3489
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
3490
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
3491
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
3492
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
3493
3494
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
3495
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
3496
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
3497
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
3498
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
3499
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
3500
3501
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
3502
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
3503
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
3504
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
3505
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3506
3507
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
3508
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3509
3510
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
3511
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
3514
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
3515
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
3516
to access private data in record to obtain content more
3517
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3518
3519
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
3520
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

3531
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
3532
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
3533
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
3534
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
3535
by showing the rate of network IO.
3536
3537
Changes from RC1 to Final
3538
*************************
3539
3540
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
3541
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
3542
3543
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
3544
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3545
3546
Compatibility Breaks
3547
********************
3548
3549
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
3550
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
3551
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
3552
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
3553
3554
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
3555
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
3556
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
3557
(Ian Clatworthy)
3558
3559
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
3560
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
3561
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
3562
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3563
3564
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
3565
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
3566
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
3567
(Ian Clatworthy)
3568
3569
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3570
3571
New Features
3572
************
3573
3574
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3575
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3576
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3577
(Marius Kruger)
3578
3579
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3580
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3581
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3582
3583
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3584
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3585
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3586
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3587
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3588
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3589
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3590
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3591
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3592
(Ian Clatworthy)
3593
3594
Improvements
3595
************
3596
3597
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3598
(Daniel Watkins)
3599
3600
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3601
(Marius Kruger)
3602
3603
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3604
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3605
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3606
3607
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3608
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3609
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3610
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3611
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3612
3613
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3614
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3615
3616
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3617
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3618
level for better precision.
3619
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3620
3621
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3622
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3623
3624
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3625
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3626
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
3627
3628
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
3629
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
3630
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
3631
(Andrew Bennetts)
3632
3633
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
3634

3635
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)

3641
anymore.
3642
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
3643
3644
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
3645
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
3646
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
3647
3648
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
3649
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
3650
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
3651
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
3652
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
3653
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
3654
3655
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
3656
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
3657
3658
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
3659
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
3660
3661
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
3662
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3663
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3664
3665
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
3666
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
3667
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
3668
(Andrew Bennetts)
3669
3670
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
3671
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
3672
3673
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
3674
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
3675
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
3676
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
3677
3678
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
3679
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
3680
handled.
3681
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)

3709

3748
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
3749
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
3750
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
3751
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
3752
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
3753
3754
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
3755
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
3756
advice.
3757
3758
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
3759
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

New Features
3785
************
3786
3787
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
3788
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
3789
3790
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
3791
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
3792
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
3793
implement other plugins.

Improvements
3800
************
3801
3802
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
3803
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
3804
3805
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
3806
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
3807
3808
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
3809
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
3810
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
3811
processes which drag in shell extensions.
3812
(Mark Hammond)
3813
3814
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
3815
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
3816
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
3817
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
3818
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
3819
3820
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
3821
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
3822
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
3823
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
3824
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

3833
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
3836
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)

3838
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
3839

3917
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
3918
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3919
3920
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
3921
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
3922
3923
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
3924
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
3925
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
3926
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
3927
3928
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
3929
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
3930
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
3931
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)

3937
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
3938
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
3939
3940
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
3941
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
3942
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
3943
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
3944
3945
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
3946
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending

3954
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
3955
(John Arbash Meinel)
3956
3957
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
3958
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
3959
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
3960
(John Arbash Meinel)
3961
3962
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
3963
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
3964
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
3965
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
3966
3967
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
3968
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
3969
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
3970
3971
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
3972
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
3973
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
3974
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
3975
3976
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
3977
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
3978
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
3979
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
3980
(John Arbash Meinel)
3981
3982
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
3983
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
3984
3985
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
3986
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
3987
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
3988
3989
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
3990
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
3991
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
3992
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
3993
3994
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
3995
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3996
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3997
(John Arbash Meinel)
3998
3999
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4000
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4001
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4002
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4003
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4004
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4005
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4006
4007
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4008
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4018
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4019
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4020
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4021

4027
4028
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the

4034
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4035
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help

4045
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4046
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4047
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4048
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4049
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

Improvements
4061
************
4062
4063
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4064
history just to set the last revision info.
4065
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4066
4067
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4068
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4069
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4070
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4071
4072
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4073
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4074
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4075
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4076
(John Arbash Meinel)
4077
4078
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4079
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4080
4081
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4082
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4083
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4084
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4085
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4086
4087
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4088
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4089
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4090
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4100
4101
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4102
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4103
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.

4111
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4112
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4113
4114
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4115
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4116
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4117
4118
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4119
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4120
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4121
4122
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4123
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4124
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4125
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4126
4127
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4128
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4129
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)

4139
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4140
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4141
4142
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4143
have changed incompatibly.
4144
4145
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4146
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4147
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4148
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4149
don't need to change.

4165
4166
:Released: 2008-11-07
4167
4168
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4169
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4170
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4171
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4172
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4173
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4174
4175
Bug Fixes

* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4179
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4180
4181
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4182

New Features
4194
************
4195
4196
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4197
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4198
4199
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4200
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4201
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4202
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4203
4204
Improvements
4205
************
4206
4207
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4208
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4209
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4210
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4211
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4212
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4213
4214
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4215
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4216
4217
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4218
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4219
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4220
4221
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4222
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4223
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4224
(Andrew Bennetts)
4225
4226
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4227
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4228
4229
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4230
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4231
4232
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4233
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4234
4235
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4236
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4237
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4238
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4239
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4240
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4241
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4242
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4243
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4244
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4245
4246
Bug Fixes
4247
*********
4248
4249
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4250
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4251
4252
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4253
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4254
4255
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4256
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4257
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4258
4259
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4260
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4261
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4262
4263
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4264
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4265
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4266
4267
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4268
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4269
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4270
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4271
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4272
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4273
4274
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4275
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4276
4277
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4278
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4279
4280
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4281
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4282
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4283
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4284
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4285
4286
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4287
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4288
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

4315
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The

*******
4339
4340
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4341
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4342
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4343
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4344
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4345
4346
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4347
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4348
4349
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4350
server. (Marius Kruger)
4351
4352
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4353
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4354
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4355
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4356
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4357
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)

************
4370
4371
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4372
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4373
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4374
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4375
4376
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4377
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4378
(Daniel Watkins)
4379
4380
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4381
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4382
(Andrew Bennetts)
4383
4384

* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4390
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4391
4392
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4393
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4394
4395
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4396
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4397
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4398
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4399
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
4400
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
4401
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
4402
operations. (Robert Collins)
4403
4404
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
4405
4406
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
4407
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing

detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)

it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4447
4448
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
4449
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
4450
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
4451
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)

A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
4585
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
4586
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
4587
connect to the stacked-on location.

4611
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
4612
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
4613
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
4614
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
4615
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
4616
it in a future repository format.

Improvements
4642
************
4643
4644
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
4645
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
4646
(Martin Pool)
4647
4648
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
4649
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
4650
4651
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
4652
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
4653
(Marius Kruger)
4654
4655
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
4656
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
4657
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
4658
(John Arbash Meinel)
4659
4660
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
4661
(Martin Pool, #261315)
4662
4663
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
4664
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
4665
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
4666
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
4667
(John Arbash Meinel)
4668
4669
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
4670
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
4671
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
4672
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
4673
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
4674
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
4675
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
4676
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
4677
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
4678
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

*********
4682

* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
4684
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
4685
4686
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
4687
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
4688
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
4689
4690
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
4691
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
4692
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
4693
4694
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
4695
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
4696
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
4697
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
4698
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
4699
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
4700
4701
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
4702
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
4703
4704
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
4705
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
4706
4707
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
4708
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
4709
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
4710
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
4711
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
4712
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
4713
4714
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
4715
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
4716
4717
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
4718
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
4719
4720
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
4721
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
4722
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
4723
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
4724
4725
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
4726
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
4727
4728
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
4729
assuming the host name is ascii.

4783
(Robert Collins)
4784
4785
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
4786
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
4787
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
4788
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
4789
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

4793
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
4794
4795
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
4796
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
4797
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
4798
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4799
4800
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
4801
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
4802
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
4803
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

:Released: 2008-08-29
4834
4835
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
4836
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
4837
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
4838
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
4839
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
4840
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
4841
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
4842
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
4843
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
4844
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
4845
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
4846
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
4847
4848
Bug Fixes
4849
*********
4850
4851
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
4852
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
4853
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
4854
start of the string (causing more copies).
4855
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
4856
especially for projects with large files.
4857
(John Arbash Meinel)
4858
4859
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
4860
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
4861
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
4862
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
4863
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
4864
4865
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
4866
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
4867
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
4868
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
4869
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

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

new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
4880
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
4881

4882
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
4883
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
4884
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
4885
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
4886

* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
5058
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
5059
that Python is running from.
5060
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
5061
5062
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
5063
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
5064
(Robert Collins, #150438)
5065

API Changes
5080
***********
5081
5082
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
5083
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
5084
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
5085
(Robert Collins)
5086
5087
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
5088
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
5089
(Robert Collins)
5090
5091
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
5092
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
5093
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5094
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
5095
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
5096
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
5097
(Robert Collins)
5098
5099
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
5100
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5101
5102
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
5103
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5104
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
5105
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
5106
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
5107
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5108
5109
Internals
5110
*********
5111
5112
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5113
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5114
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5115
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5116
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5117
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5118
5119
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5120
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5121
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5122
5123
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5124
(Ian Clatworthy)
5125
5126
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5127
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5128
5129
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

############
5135
5136
:Released: 2008-07-17
5137
5138
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5139
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5140
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5141
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5142
bug fixes.
5143
5144
Features
5145
********
5146
5147
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5148
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5149
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5150
5151
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5152
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5153
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5154
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5155
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5156
(Ian Clatworthy)
5157
5158
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5159
5160
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5161
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5162
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5163
(Robert Collins)
5164
5165
Improvements
5166
************
5167
5168
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5169
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5170
(Martin Pool)
5171
5172
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5173
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5174
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5175
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5176
5177
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5178
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5179
(Christophe Troestler)
5180
5181
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5182
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5183
5184
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5185
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5186
faster. The new request method name is
5187
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5188
5189
Bug Fixes
5190
*********
5191
5192
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5193
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5194
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5195
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5196
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5197
5198
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5199
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5200
5201
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5202
requires a branch to be present.
5203
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5204
5205
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5206
loaded.
5207
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5208
5209
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5210
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5211
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5212
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5213
5214
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5215
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5216
5217
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5218
name contains an @.
5219
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5220
5221
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5222
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5223
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5224
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5225
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5226
5227
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5228
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5229
5230
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5231
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5232
5233
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5234
Cygwin Bazaar.
5235
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5236
5237
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5238
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5239
5240
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.

*******
5254
5255
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5256
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5257
5258
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5259
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5260
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5261
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5262
5263
API Changes
5264
***********
5265
5266
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5267
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5268
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5269
Repository docstring for more details.
5270
(Robert Collins)
5271
5272
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5273
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5274
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5275
5276
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5277
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5278
(Daniel Watkins)
5279
5280
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5281
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5282
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5283
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)

5287
5288
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5289
(Alexander Belchenko)
5290
5291
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5292
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5293
containing a given location.
5294
(Daniel Watkins)
5295
5296
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5297
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5298
storage. (Robert Collins)
5299
5300
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5301
(Robert Collins)
5302
5303
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,

This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow

5316
now faster.

5318
Bug Fixes
5319
*********
5320
5321
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5322
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5323
reading from the repository.)
5324
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5325
5326
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5327
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5328
5329
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5330
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5331
(Andrew Bennetts)
5332
5333
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5334
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5335
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
5336
5337
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
5338
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
5339
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
5340
5341
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
5342
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
5343
5344
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
5345
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
5346
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
5355
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and

``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)

5378
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5379
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5380
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
5400
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
5401
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
5402
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
5403
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
5404
and future extensions.

5407
Notes When Upgrading
5408
********************
5409
5410
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
5411
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
5412
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
5413
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
5414
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
5415
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
5416
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

Improvements
5433
************
5434
5435
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
5436
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
5437
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
5438
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5439
5440
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
5441
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
5442
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
5443
5444
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
5445
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
5446
5447
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
5448
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
5449
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
5450
5451
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
5452
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
5453
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
5454
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
5455
step closer to not using full revision history.

********
5460
5461
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
5462
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
5463
5464
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.

* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
5468
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
5469
5470
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
5471
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
5472
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
5473
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
5474
5475
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
5476
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
5477
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
5478
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
5479
5480
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
5481
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
5482
in use by another process.
5483
(Martin Pool)
5484
5485
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
5486
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
5487
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
5488
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)

* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
5491
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
5547
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
5548
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.

API Changes
5552
***********
5553
5554
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
5555
instead. (Martin Pool)
5556
5557
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
5558
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
5559
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
5560
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
5561
5562
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
5563
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
5564
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
5565
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
5566
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
5567
5568
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
5569
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
5570
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
5571
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
5572
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
5573
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
5574
5575
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
5576
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
5577
(Martin Pool)
5578
5579
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
5580
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
5581
(Robert Collins)
5582
5583
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
5584
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
5585
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
5586
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
5587
5588
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
5589
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
5590
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5591
5592
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
5593
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
5594
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
5595
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
5596
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
5597
(Martin Pool)
5598
5599
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
5600
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
5601
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
5602
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
5603
(Robert Collins)
5604
5605
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5606
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5607
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5608
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5609
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5610
5611
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
5671
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
5672
5673
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
5674
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
5675
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
5676
5677
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5678

5694
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)

5696
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a

5703
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5704
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
5705
5706
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5707
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5708
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5709
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)

5712
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.

5714
5715
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
5716
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.

(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
5718
5719
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5720
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5721
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5722

5755
5756
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
5757

5761
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
5762
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5763
5764
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
5765
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
5766
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
5767
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5768
5769
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
5770
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)

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

hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have

5868
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)

* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
5871

5872
5873
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
5874
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
5875
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5876
5877
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
5878
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
5879
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
5880
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
5881
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
5882
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
5883
Andrew Cowie)
5884
5885
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
5886
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
5887
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.

********
5892
5893
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
5894
5895
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
5896
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
5897
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
5898

* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
5900
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.

See the User Reference for signature details.
5902

5905
repository. (Aaron Bentley)

5907
Improvements
5908
************
5909
5910
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
5911
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
5912
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
5913
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5914
5915
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
5916
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
5917
5918
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
5919
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
5920
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
5921
Wouter van Heyst)
5922
5923
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
5924
(Chad Miller)
5925
5926
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
5927
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
5928
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
5929
5930
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
5931
(Aaron Bentley)
5932
5933
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
5934
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
5935
5936
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
5937
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
5938
5939
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
5940
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
5941
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
5942
5943
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
5944
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
5945
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
5946
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
5947
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
5948
5949
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
5950
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
5951
5952
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
5953
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5954
5955
Bugfixes
5956
********
5957
5958
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
5959
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
5960
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
5961
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
5962
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
5963
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
5964
5965
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
5966
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
5967
5968
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
5969
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
5970
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
5971
5972
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
5973
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
5974
5975
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
5976
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
5977
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
5978
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5979
5980
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
5981
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
5982
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
5983
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
5984
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
5985
5986
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
5987
5988
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
5989
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
5990

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

6013
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6014
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6015
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6016
6017
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6018
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6019
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6020
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6021
6022
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6023
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6024
release. (James Westby)
6025
6026
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6027
(Andrew Bennetts)

* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6030
6031
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6032
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6033
6034
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6035
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6036
6037
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6038
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6039
6040
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6041
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6042
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6043
6044
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6045
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6046
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6047
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6048
6049
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6050
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6051
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6052
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6053
6054
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6055
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6056
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6057
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6058
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6059
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6060
6061
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6062
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6063
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
6064
6065
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
6066
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6067
6068
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
6069
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
6070

6071
6072
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
6073
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
6074
6075
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
6076
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
6077
6078
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
6079
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
6080
6081
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6082
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6083
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6084
6085
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6086
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6087
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6088
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6089
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6090
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)

6093
*******
6094
6095
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6096
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6097
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6098
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6099
6100
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6101
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6102
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6103
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6104
implement this).
6105
(Vincent Ladeuil)
6106
6107

6108
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6109
(Vincent Ladeuil)
6110

(Martin Albisetti)
6127
6128
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6129
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6130
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6131
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6132
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6133
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6134
6135
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6136
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6137
6138
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6139
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6140
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6141
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6142
6143
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6144
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6145
6146
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like

6201
6202
Changes
6203
*******
6204
6205
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6206
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6207
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6208
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6209
(Robert Collins)
6210
6211
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6212
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6213
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6214
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6215
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6216
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6217
6218
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6219
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6220
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.

6242
6243
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6244
6245
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6246
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6247
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6248
6249
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6250
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6251
6252
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6253
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6254
6255
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6256
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6257
(Alexander Belchenko)
6258
6259
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6260
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6261
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6262
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)

6264
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6265
(Daniel Watkins)
6266
6267
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6268
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6269
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6270
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6271
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

6279
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

********************
6398
6399
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
6400
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
6401
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
6402
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
6403
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.

* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
6410
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
6411
6412
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
6413
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
6414
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
6415
6416
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
6417
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
6418
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
6419
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
6420
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
6421
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.

* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
6428
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6429
6430
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
6431
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
6432
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
6433
(Robert Collins)
6434
6435
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
6436
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
6437
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
6438
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
6439
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
6440
6441
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
6442
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
6443
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
6444
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
6445
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
6446
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
6447
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
6448
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
6457
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)

* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax

6493
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
6494
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
6495
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
6496
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
6497

6567
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
6568

6569
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
6570
6571
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
6572
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
6573
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
6574

6588
6589
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6590

* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6611
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6612
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many

6637
6638
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to

--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
6641
6642
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
6643
6644
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
6645
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
6646
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
6647
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
6648
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
6649
6650
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
6651
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
6652
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

6975
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
6976
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
6977
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
6978
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
6979
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
6980
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
6981
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
6982
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
6983
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
6984
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
6985
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
6986
from any tree without problems.

still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
6994

6995
6996
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"

7003
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials

for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7005
supported transports.
7006
(Vincent Ladeuil)

7009
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.

7011
7012
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7013
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7014
7015
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7016
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7017
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7018
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)

***********
7025
7026
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7027
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7028
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7029
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7030
7031
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7032
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7033
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7034
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7035
7036
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7037
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7038
7039
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7040
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7041
7042
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7043
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)

7057
(Lukáš Lalinský)
7058
7059
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7060

7061
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and

3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7256
7257
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7258
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7259
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7260
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7261
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7262
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7263
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7264
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7265
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7266
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7267
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7268
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

7274
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7275
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7276
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7277
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7278

7279
7280
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7281
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7282
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.

7303
7304
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7305
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7306
7307
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7308
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7309
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7310
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7311
7312
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7313
(Robert Collins)
7314
7315
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7316
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7317
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7318
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)

* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7321

* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7372
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7373
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7374
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7375
7376
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7377
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7378
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7379
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7380
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7381

tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
7447
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
7448
7449
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
7450
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
7451
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
7452
7453
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
7454
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
7455
7456
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
7457
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
7458
7459
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
7460
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
7461
(Martin Pool)
7462
7463
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
7464
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
7465
7466
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
7467
class that needs it.
7468
(Martin Pool)
7469
7470
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
7471
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
7472
7473
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
7474
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
7475
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
7476
7477
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
7478
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
7479
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
7480
(Robert Collins)
7481
7482
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
7483
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
7484
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
7485
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.

Internals
7489
*********
7490
7491
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
7492
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
7493
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
7494
7495
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
7496
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
7497
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
7498
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
7499
7500
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
7501
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
7502
(Robert Collins)
7503
7504
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
7505
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
7506
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
7507
7508
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
7509
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
7510
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
7511
7512
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
7513
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
7514
7515
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
7516
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
7517
to complete. (Robert Collins)
7518
7519
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
7520
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
7521
7522
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
7523
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
7524
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
7525
7526
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
7527
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
7528
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
7529
7530
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
7531
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
7532
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
7533
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
7534
7535
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
7536
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
7537
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
7538
returned. (Robert Collins)
7539
7540
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
7541
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
7542
7543
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
7544
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
7545
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
7546
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
7547
(Robert Collins)
7548
7549
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
7550
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)

7552
Testing
7553
*******
7554
7555
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
7556
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
7557
7558
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
7559
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
7560
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
7561
makes this behavior available to other users.
7562
(Martin Pool)
7563
7564
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
7565
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

Changes
7607
*******
7608
7609
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7610
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7611
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7612
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7613
(Martin Pool)
7614
7615
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7616
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7617
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7618
(Ian Clatworthy)
7619
7620
Features
7621
********
7622
7623
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7624
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7625
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
7626
(Lukáš Lalinský)
7627
7628
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
7629
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
7630
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
7631
7632
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
7633
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
7634
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
7635
7636
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
7637
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
7638
7639
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
7640
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
7641
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
7642
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
7643
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
7644
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
7645
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
7646
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
7647
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
7648
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
7649
7650
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
7651
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
7652
7653
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
7654
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
7655
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7656
7657
Bug Fixes
7658
*********
7659
7660
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
7661
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
7662
7663
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
7664
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
7665
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
7666
7667
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
7668
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
7669
7670
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
7671
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
7672
7673
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
7674
(Aaron Bentley)
7675
7676
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
7677
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
7678
7679
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
7680
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
7681
7682
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
7683
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7684
7685
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
7686
(Blake Winton, #129299)
7687
7688
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
7689
7690
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
7691
Watkins, #106726)
7692
7693
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
7694
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
7695
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
7696
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
7697
7698
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7699
7700
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
7701
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
7702
#133548)
7703
7704
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
7705
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
7706
7707
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
7708
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
7709
#116143)
7710
7711
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
7712
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
7713
7714
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
7715
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
7716
7717
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
7718
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
7719
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
7720
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
7721
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
7722
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
7723
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
7724
7725
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
7726
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
7727
7728
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
7729
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
7730
7731
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
7732
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
7733
7734
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
7735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
7736
7737
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
7738
connections.
7739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
7740
7741
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
7742
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
7743
7744
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
7745
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
7746
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
7747
7748
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7749
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
7753
************
7754
7755
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
7756
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7757
7758
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
7759
(Aaron Bentley)
7760
7761
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
7762
(Aaron Bentley)
7763
7764
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
7765
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7766
7767
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
7768
7769
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
7770
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
7771
7772
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
7773
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
7774
7775
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
7776
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
7777
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
7778
space). (Robert Collins)
7779
7780
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
7781
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
7782
(Ian Clatworthy)
7783
7784
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
7785
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7786
7787
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
7788
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
7789
7790
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
7791
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
7792
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
7793
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
7794
7795
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
7796
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
7797
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
7798
(Lukáš Lalinský)
7799
7800
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
7801
(Ian Clatworthy)
7802
7803
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
7804
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
7805
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
7806
7807
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
7808
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
7809
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
7810
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
7811
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
7812
7813
API Breaks
7814
**********
7815
7816
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
7817
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
7818
7819
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
7820
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
7821
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
7822
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
7823
affected. (Robert Collins)
7824
7825
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
7826
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
7827
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
7828
(Robert Collins)
7829
7830
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7831
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7832
7833
Testing
7834
*******
7835
7836
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
7837
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
7838
7839
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
7840
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7841
7842
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7843
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7844
7845
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
7846
(Aaron Bentley)
7847
7848
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
7849
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7850
7851
Internals
7852
*********
7853
7854
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
7855
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
7856
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
7857
its version information. (Robert Collins)
7858
7859
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
7860
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7861
7862
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
7863
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
7864
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
7865
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7866
7867
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
7868
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
7869
present. (Robert Collins)
7870
7871
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
7872
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
7873
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
7874
API. (Robert Collins)
7875
7876
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
7877
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
7878
(Robert Collins)
7879
7880
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
7881
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
7882
7883
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
7884
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
7885
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
7886
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
7887
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
7888
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
7889
7890
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
7891
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
7892
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
7893
7894
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
7895
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
7896
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
7897
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
7898
protocol.
7899
7900
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
7901
(Aaron Bentley)
7902
7903
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
7904
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
7905
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
7906
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
7907
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
7908
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
7909
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
7910
7911
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
7912
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
7913
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
7914
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
7915
7916
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
7917
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
7918
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
7919
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
7920
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
7921
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
7922
7923
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
7924
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
7925
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
7926
7927
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
7928
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

***********
7951
7952
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
7953

7954
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

Bugfixes
7963
********
7964
7965
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
7966
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7967
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
7968
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
7969
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
7970
7971
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
7972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
7973
7974
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
7975
anymore.
7976
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
7977
7978
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
7979
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
7980
(Vincent Ladeuil)
7981
7982
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
7983
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
7984
#111664)
7985
7986
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
7987
(Lukáš Lalinský)
7988
7989
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
7990
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
7991
7992
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
7993
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
7994
7995
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7996
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7997
7998
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7999
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8000
8001
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8002
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)

8010
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8011
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8012
8013
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8014
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8015
8016
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8017
the repository (Robert Collins)
8018
8019
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8020
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8021
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8022
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8023
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8024
8025
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8026
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8027
8028
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8029
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8030
(John Arbash Meinel)
8031
8032
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8033
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8034
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8035
about 10%).
8036
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8037
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8038
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8039
(John Arbash Meinel)
8040
8041
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8042
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8043
(Robert Collins)
8044
8045
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8046
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8047
8048
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8049
(Ian Clatworthy)
8050
8051
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8052
8053
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8054
8055
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8056
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8057
8058
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8059
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8060
Meinel)
8061
8062
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8063
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8064
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8065
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8066
8067
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8068
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8069
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8070
8071
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8072
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8073
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8074
8075
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8076
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8077
8078
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8079
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8080
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8081
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8082
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8083
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8084
(Ian Clatworthy)
8085
8086
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8087
(Alexander Belchenko)
8088
8089
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8090
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8091
8092
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8093
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8094
8095
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

Library API Breaks
8101
******************
8102
8103
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8104
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8105
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8106
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8107
8108
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8109
8110
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8111
(Robert Collins)
8112
8113
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8114
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8115
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8116
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8117
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8118
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8119

Internals
8121
*********
8122
8123
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8124
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8125
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8126
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8127
8128
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8129
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8130
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8131
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8132
tests have been refactored too.
8133
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8134
8135
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8136
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8137
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8138
list, it will.
8139
(Vincent Ladeuil)
8140
8141
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8142
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8143
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8144
8145
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8146
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8147
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8148
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8149
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8150
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8151
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8152
8153
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8154
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8155
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8156
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8157
(John Arbash Meinel)
8158
8159
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8160
functionality for testing.
8161
8162
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8163
8164
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8165
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8166
8167
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8168
8169
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8170
(Robert Collins)
8171
8172
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8173
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8174
8175
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8176
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8177
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8178
8179
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8180
(Aaron Bentley)
8181
8182
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8183
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8184
8185
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8186
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8187
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8188
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8189
8190
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8191
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8192
8193
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8194
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8195
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8196
8197
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8198
(Marius Kruger)
8199
8200
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8201
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8202
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8203
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8204
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8205
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8206
8207
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8208
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8209
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8210
many files. (Robert Collins)
8211
8212
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8213
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8214
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8215
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8216
8217
Testing
8218
*******
8219
8220
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8221
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8222
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8223
8224
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8225
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8226
8227
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8228
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8229
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

************
8298
8299
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8300
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8301
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8302
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8317
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8318
8319
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8320
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8321
8322
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8323
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8324
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8325
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8326
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8327
8328
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8329
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8330

* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8391
8392
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8393
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8394
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
8395

8401
8402
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
8403
8404
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
8405
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
8406
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
8407
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
8408
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
8409
same location. (Robert Collins)

8426
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
8427
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
8428
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
8429
8430
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
8431
8432
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
8433
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
8434
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
8435
8436
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
8437
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
8438
8439
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
8440
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
8441
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
8442
8443
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
8444
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
8445
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
8446
8447
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
8448
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
8449
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
8450
8451
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
8452
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
8453

8454
8455
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
8456

8462
*******
8463
8464
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
8465
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
8466
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
8467
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8468
8469
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
8470
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
8471
testing. (Robert Collins)
8472
8473
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
8474
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
8475
8476
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
8477
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
8478
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
8479
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
8480
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
8481
attribute during the test parameterisation in
8482
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
8483
8484
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
8485
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
8486
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
8487
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
8488
8489
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
8490
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
8491
8492
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
8493
avoid useless cloning.

********************
8519
8520
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8521
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
8522
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8523
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
8524
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
8525
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
8526
and unlock() like so::
8527
8528
work_tree.lock_read()
8529
try:
8530
kind = work_tree.kind(...)

8536
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
8537
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
8538
object.
8539
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
8540
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
8541
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
8542
8543
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
8544

8545
too. (Robert Collins)

************
8549
8550

8551
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
8552
Aaron Bentley)
8553
8554
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
8555
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
8556
8557
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
8558
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
8559
8560
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
8561
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
8562
understanding what changes have occurred
8563
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
8564
8565
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
8566
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
8567
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8568
8569
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
8570
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
8571
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
8572
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
8573

8580
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.

We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
8582
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8583
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
8584
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)

8598
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8599
8600
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8601
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8602
8603
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8604
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8605
8606
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8607
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)

* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if

8685
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8686
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
8687
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
8688
but not delete it.
8689
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the

* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by

pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
8702
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable

* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
8706

8718
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
8719

8721
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,

8729
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
8730
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)

machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
8765
8766
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
8767
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
8768
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8769
8770
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
8771
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
8772
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
8773
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
8774
8775
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
8776
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
8777
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
8778
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
8779
8780
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
8781
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
8782
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
8783
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
8784
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
8785
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
8786
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
8787
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
8788
header(s).

8797
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
8798
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have

8818
(Robert Collins).
8819
8820
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
8821
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
8822
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
8823
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running

8830
8831
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
8832
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
8833
(Vincent Ladeuil).
8834
8835
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
8836
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
8837
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
8838
(Vincent Ladeuil).
8839
8840
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
8841
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
8842
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
8843
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
8844
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
8845
8846
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
8847
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
8848
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
8849
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8850
8851
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
8852
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8853
8854
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
8855
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
8856
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
8857
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
8858
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
8859
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
8860
8861
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
8862
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
8863
8864
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
8865
help. (Robert Collins)
8866
8867
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
8868
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8869
8870
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
8871
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
8872
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
8873
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
8874
(John Arbash Meinel)
8875
8876
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
8877
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
8878
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
8879
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
8880
useful. (Robert Collins)
8881
8882
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

8903
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
8904
8905
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
8906
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
8907
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
8908
8909
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
8910
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
8911
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
8912
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
8913
8914
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
8915
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
8916
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
8917
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)

* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
8920

8921
8922
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
8923

8925
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John

8927
8928
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
8929

8948
8949
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
8950
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
8951
in running it. (Robert Collins)
8952
8953
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
8954
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
8955
8956
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
8957
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
8958
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
8959
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
8960
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
8961
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
8962
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
8963
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8964
8965
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
8966
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
8967
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8968
8969
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
8970
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
8971
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
8972
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
8973
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
8974
access.
8975
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8976
8977
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
8978
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
8979
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8980

9015
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9016
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9017
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9018
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9019
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9020
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9021
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9022
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9023
path. (vila)

9039
9040

``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9043

Surprises
9140
*********
9141
9142
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9143
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9144
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9145
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9146
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9147
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9148
9149
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9150
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9151
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9152
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9153
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9154
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9155
development.
9156
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9157
9158
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9159
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9160
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9161
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9162
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9163
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9164
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9165
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9171
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9172
9173
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9174
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9175
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9176
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9177
does exist.
9178
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9179
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9180
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9181
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9182
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9183
9184
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9185
(Aaron Bentley)

9194

9196
9197
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9198
(Aaron Bentley)
9199
9200
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9201
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9202
9203
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9204
directory. (Martin Pool)
9205
9206
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9207
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9208
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9209
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9210
9211
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9212
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9213
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9214
in docs/configuration.txt.
9215
9216
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9217
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9218
bind location.
9219
9220
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9221
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9222
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9223
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9224
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9225
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9226
9227
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9228
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9229
9230
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9231
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9232

*********
9238
9239
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9240
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9241
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9242
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9243
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9244
(John Arbash Meinel)
9245
9246
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9247
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9248
(Aaron Bentley)
9249
9250
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9251
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9252
(John Arbash Meinel)
9253
9254
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9255
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9256
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9257
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9258
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9259
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9260
9261
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9262
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9263
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9264
9265
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9266
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9267
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9268
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9269
repository.
9270
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9271
9272
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9273
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9274
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9275
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9276
9277
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9278
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9279
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9280
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9281
9282
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9283
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9284
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9285
9286
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9287
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9288
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.

* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9291

9292

* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9296

9303
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9304
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9305
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9306
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9307
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9308
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9309
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9310
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9311
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

9399
server, then you can write over the http connection.
9400

9402
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
9403
(Marius Kruger)
9404
9405
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
9406
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
9407
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
9408
9409
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
9410
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts

(Aaron Bentley)
9414
9415
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
9416
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
9417
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
9418
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
9419
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
9420
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
9421
9422
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
9423
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
9424
should enable you to do::
9425
9426
[/home/user/project]
9427
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
9428
push_location:policy = appendpath
9429

9431
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.

9463
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)

9466
9467
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
9468
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
9469

* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
9484

9485
9486
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
9487
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
9488
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
9489
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
9490
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)

9502
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
9503
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
9504
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
9505
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
9506
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
9507
9508
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
9509
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
9510
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the

9565
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
9566
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
9567

9580
9581

so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.

9603
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,

9622
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they

9624
them as full references rather than integers.
9625
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)

* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
9639

9642
9643
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
9644

9645
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)

* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
9651
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
9652
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can

single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
9760
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
9761
9762
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
9763
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
9764
9765
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
9766
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
9767
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
9768
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
9769
9770
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
9771
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
9772
9773
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
9774
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
9775
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)

9788
9789
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
9790
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
9791
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
9792
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
9793
9794
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
9795
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the

9824
************
9825
9826
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
9827
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
9828
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
9829
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9830
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
9831
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
9832
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
9833
9834
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
9835
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
9836
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
9837
9838
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
9839
9840
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
9841
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
9842
9843
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
9844
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
9845
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
9846
(Robert Collins)
9847
9848
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
9849
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
9850
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
9851
(John Arbash Meinel)
9852
9853
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
9854
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
9855
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
9856
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
9857
Pool)
9858
9859
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
9860
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
9861
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information

9868
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
9869
9870
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
9871
9872
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
9873
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
9874
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
9875
9876
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
9877
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
9878

* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
9880
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)

9891
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
9892
9893
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
9894
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
9895
9896
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
9897
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
9898
9899
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
9900
(John Arbash Meinel)
9901
9902
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
9903
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
9904
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
9905
9906
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
9907
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9908
9909
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
9910
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
9911
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
9912
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
9913
9914
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
9915
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
9916
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)

*********
9928
9929
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
9930
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
9931
(John Arbash Meinel)
9932
9933
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
9934
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
9935
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
9936
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9937
9938
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
9939
(Andrew Bennetts)
9940
9941
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
9942
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
9943
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
9944
9945
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
9946
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
9947
9948
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
9949
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
9950
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
9951
9952
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
9953
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
9954
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
9955
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
9956
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
9957
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
9958
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
9959
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
9960
caller to repeat their request.
9961
(John Arbash Meinel)
9962
9963
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
9964
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
9965
9966
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
9967
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
9968
9969
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
9970
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
9971
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
9972
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
9973
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
9974
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
9975
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
9976
9977
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
9978
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
9979
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
9980
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
9981
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
9982
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
9983
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
9984
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
9985
(Robert Collins)
9986
9987
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
9988
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
9989
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
9990
9991
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
9992
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
9993
9994
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
9995
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9996
9997
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

10005
10006
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10007
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10008
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10009
10010

10023
10024
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10025
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10026
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10027
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10028
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10029

*********
10101
10102
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10103
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10104
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10105
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10106
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10107
a more conservative list than the old default.
10108
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10109
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10110
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.

* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10121
revno:N:branch. For example,
10122
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in

* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10126
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10127
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10128
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10129
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10130
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10131
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)

10149
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10150
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10151
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10152
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10153
(John Arbash Meinel)
10154
10155
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10156
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10157
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10158
grained analysis of performance.
10159
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10160
10161
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10162
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10163
10164
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10165
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10166
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10167
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10168
file. (Robert Collins).
10169
10170
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10171
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10172
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10173
10174
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10175
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10176
Matthieu Moy)
10177
10178
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10179
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10180
10181
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10182
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10183
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10184
the same way you would apply another branch.

for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10189
10190
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10191
(Michael Ellerman)
10192
10193
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10194
(Aaron Bentley)
10195
10196
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10197
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10198
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10199
10200
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10201
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10202
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10203
10204
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10205
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10206
10207
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10208
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10209
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10210
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10211
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10212
10213
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10214
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10215
10216
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10217
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10218
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10219
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10220
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10221
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10222
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10223
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10224
10225
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10226
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10227
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

10233
tests not to run.
10234
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10235
10236
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10237
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10238
10239
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10240
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10241
10242
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10243
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10244
10245
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)

10248
(John Arbash Meinel)
10249
10250
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10251
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10252
10253
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10254
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10255
and y.
10256
10257
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10258
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10259
10260
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10261
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10262
10263
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10264
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10265
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10266
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10267
10268
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10269

10287
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10288
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10289
10290
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10291
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10292
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)

10298
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10299
10300
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10301
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10302
10303
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10304
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10305
10306
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10307
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10308
10309
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10310
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10311
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10312
10313
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)

10320
10321
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10322
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10323
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10324
10325
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10326
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10327
10328
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10329
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10330
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10331
10332
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10333
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10334
10335
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10336
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10337
(Martin Pool)
10338
10339
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10340
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10341
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10342
10343
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10344
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10345
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10346
10347
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10348
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10349
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10350
10351
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

Notes When Upgrading
10436
********************
10437
10438
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
10439
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
10440
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
10441
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
10442
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
10443
will keep the same format.
10444
10445
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
10446
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
10447
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
10448
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
10449
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
10450
10451
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
10452
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
10453
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
10454
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
10455
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
10456
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
10457
indicating the current revision of the branch.
10458
10459
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
10460
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
10461
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
10462
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
10463
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
10464
10465
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
10466
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
10467
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
10468
arrangement.
10469
10470
10471
Improvements
10472
************
10473
10474
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
10475
convention. Paths now take the form::
10476
10477
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
10478
or
10479
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
10480
10481
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
10482
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
10483
10484
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
10485
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
10486
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
10487
10488
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
10489
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
10490
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
10491
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
10492
10493
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
10494
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
10495
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
10496
10497
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
10498
10499
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
10500
10501
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
10502
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
10503
commits::
10504
10505
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
10506
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
10507
| xargs bzr re-sign
10508
10509
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
10510
10511
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
10512
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
10513
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
10514
(Robert Collins)
10515
10516
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
10517
10518
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
10519
10520
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
10521
'.moved'.
10522
10523
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
10524
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
10525
10526
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
10527
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
10528
Daniel Silverstone)
10529
10530
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
10531
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
10532
Martin Pool)
10533
10534
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
10535
10536
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
10537
10538
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
10539
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
10540
10541
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
10542
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
10543
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
10544
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
10545
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
10546
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
10547
10548
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
10549
10550
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
10551
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
10552
(Robert Collins)
10553
10554
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
10555
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
10556
10557
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
10558
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
10559
10560
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
10561
10562
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
10563
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
10564
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
10565
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
10566
specification by Martin Pool.
10567
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
10568
10569
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
10570
Belchenko)
10571
10572
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
10573
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10574
10575
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10576
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10577
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10578
10579
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10580
10581
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10582
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10583

10584
10585
Changes
10586

new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10590
10591
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10592
10593
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10594
10595
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10596
(Olaf Conradi)
10597
10598
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10599
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10600
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10601
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)

10605
10606
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10607

10608
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10609
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10610
10611
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10612
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10613
tried. (Martin Pool)
10614
10615
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10616
(Martin Pool)
10617
10618
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10619
10620
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10621
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for

* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10625
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10626
10627
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
10628
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
10629
paths. (Robert Collins)
10630
10631
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
10632
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
10633
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
10634
10635
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
10636
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
10637
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
10638
10639
* Progress bars are now nested - see
10640
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
10641
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10642
10643
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
10644
(Olaf Conradi)
10645
10646
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
10647
(Olaf Conradi)
10648
10649
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
10650
10651
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
10652
10653
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
10654
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
10655
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
10656
(Robert Collins)
10657
10658
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
10659
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
10660
10661
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
10662
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
10663
check. (Robert Collins)
10664
10665
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
10666
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
10667
10668
Testing
10669
*******
10670
10671
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
10672
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
10673
10674
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
10675
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
10676
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
10677
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
10678
10679
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
10680
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
10681
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
10682
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
10683
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
10684
10685
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
10686
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
10687
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
10688
10689
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
10690
10691
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
10692
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

Changes
10700
*******
10701
10702
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
10703
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
10704
10705
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
10706
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10707
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
10708
(Johan Rydberg)
10709
10710
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
10711
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
10712
10713
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
10714
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
10715
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
10716
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
10717
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
10718
10719
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
10720
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
10721
used. (Robert Collins)
10722
10723
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
10724
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
10725
(James Henstridge)
10726
10727
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
10728
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
10729
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
10730
10731
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
10732
ignore list.
10733
10734
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
10735
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
10736
10737
Improvements
10738
************
10739
10740
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
10741
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
10742
10743
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10744
10745
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10746
10747
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
10748
tree. (Robert Collins)
10749
10750
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
10751
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10752
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
10753
(Robert Collins)
10754
10755
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
10756
that they be kept.
10757
10758
* Tweaks to short log printing
10759
10760
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
10761
(Aaron Bentley)
10762
10763
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
10764
occurs. (Martin Pool)
10765
10766
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
10767
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
10768
10769
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
10770
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
10771
10772
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
10773
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
10774
settings. (Magnus Therning)
10775
10776
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
10777
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10778
10779
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
10780
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
10781
requests.
10782
10783
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
10784
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
10785
10786
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
10787
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
10788
10789
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
10790
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
10791
10792
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
10793
(Denys Duchier)
10794
10795
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
10796
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
10797
10798
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
10799
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
10800
10801
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
10802
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
10803
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)

Bug Fixes
10806
*********
10807
10808
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
10809
10810
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10811
10812
* Error when run with -OO
10813
10814
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
10815
(Martin Pool)
10816
10817
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
10818
10819
* Change status to 3 for all errors
10820
10821
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
10822
ignored by diff and status
10823
10824
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
10825
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
10826
10827
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
10828
10829
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
10830
10831
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
10832
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
10833
10834
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
10835
email address. (Marien Zwart)
10836
10837
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
10838
(Harald Meland)
10839
10840
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
10841
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10842
10843
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
10844
10845
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
10846
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
10847
10848
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
10849
(Martin Pool)
10850
10851

10852
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
10853
10854
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
10855

Testing
10857
*******
10858
10859
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
10860
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
10861
10862
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10863
10864
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10865
10866
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
10867
10868
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
10869
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
10870
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10871
10872
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10873
10874
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
10875
(John Arbash Meinel)
10876
10877
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
10878
10879
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
10880
If adding a new test script please add that to
10881
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
10882
10883
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
10884
imported. (Martin Pool)
10885
10886
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
10887
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
10888
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
10889
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
10890
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
10891
(Robert Collins)
10892
10893
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
10894
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
10895
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
10896
10897
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
10898
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
10899
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10900
10901
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
10902
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
10903
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
10904
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
10905
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
10906
(Robert Collins).
10907
10908
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
10909
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
10910
(Robert Collins).
10911
10912
Internals
10913
*********
10914
10915
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
10916
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
10917
10918
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
10919
function. (Robert Collins)
10920
10921
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
10922
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
10923
if needed). (Robert Collins)
10924
10925
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
10926
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
10927
(Robert Collins)
10928
10929
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
10930
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
10931
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
10932
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
10933
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
10934
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
10935
version. (Robert Collins)
10936
10937
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
10938
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
10939
10940
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
10941
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
10942
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
10943
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
10944
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
10945
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
10946
10947
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
10948
(Robert Collins)
10949
10950
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
10951
10952
add()
10953
commit()
10954
move()
10955
rename_one()
10956
unknowns()
10957
10958
(Robert Collins)
10959
10960
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
10961
10962
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
10963
10964
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
10965
Pool)
10966
10967
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
10968
query method. (Robert Collins)
10969
10970
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
10971
(Denys Duchier)
10972
10973
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
10974
(Michael Ellerman)
10975
10976
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
10977
(Michael Ellerman)
10978
10979
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
10980
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
10981
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
10982
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
10983
10984
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
10985
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
10986
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
10987
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
10988
10989
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
10990
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

************
10999
11000
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11001
(John A Meinel)
11002
11003
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11004
conflicts.
11005
(Aaron Bentley)
11006
11007
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11008
a separator, not ':'.
11009
(Aaron Bentley)
11010
11011
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11012
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11013
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11014
11015
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11016
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11017
(Robert Collins)
11018
11019
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11020
has been added that suppresses all output.
11021
11022
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11023
Adams.
11024
11025
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11026
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11027
11028
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11029
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11030
11031
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11032
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11033
11034
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11035
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11036
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11037
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11038
11039
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11040
11041
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11042
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11043
11044
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11045
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11046
11047
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11048
output directory, if one was supplied.
11049
11050
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11051
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11052
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11053
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11054
11055
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11056
11057
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11058
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11059
11060
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11061
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11062
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11063
11064
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11065
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11066
11067
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work

test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11079
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11080
11081
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11082
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11083
related questions. (Robert Collins)

* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11099

11100
representation. (Martin Pool).
11101
11102
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11103
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11104
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11105

* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11107
(Robert Collins)
11108
11109
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11110
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11111
Magnus Therning.
11112
11113
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11114
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11115
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11116
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11117
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11118
11119
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11120
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11121
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11122
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11123
python path. (Robert Collins)
11124
11125
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11126
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11127
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11128
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11129
11130
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11131
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11132
11133
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11134
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11135
(Robert Collins)
11136
11137
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11138
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11139
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11140
11141
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11142
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11143
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11144
11145
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11146
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11147
11148
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11149
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11150
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11151
(Robert Collins)
11152
11153
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11154
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11155
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11156
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11157
(Robert Collins)
11158
11159
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11160
(Robert Collins)
11161
11162
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11163
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11164
(Robert Collins)
11165
11166
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11167
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11168
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11169
11170
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11171
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11172
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11173
11174
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11175
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11176
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11177
11178
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11179
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11180
11181
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11182
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11183
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11184
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11185
caller. (Robert Collins)
11186
11187
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11188
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11189
(Robert Collins).
11190
11191
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11192
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11193
(Aaron Bentley)
11194
11195
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11196
11197
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11198
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

11237
11238
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11239
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11240
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11241
high-latency connections.

* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11250

11252
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11253
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11254
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11255

11282
************
11283

11285
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11286
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11287
11288
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11289
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11290
'bzr upgrade'.
11291
11292
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by

* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11302

11303
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11304
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11305
11306
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11307

11326
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11327
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11328
11329
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11330
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11331
handling of such circumstances.
11332
11333
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11334
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11335
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11336
11337
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11338
11339
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11340
we call them revisions not patches.
11341
11342
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11343
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11344
11345
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11346
giving the revision *of that file*.
11347
11348
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.

11565
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
11566
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the

standard plugins directory.
11568
11569
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
11570
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the

current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
11572
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.

11588
line options must come before the command name because they
11589
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
11590
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
11591
it.

Changes
11611
*******
11612
11613
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
11614
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11615
11616
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
11617
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
11618
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11619
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
11620
11621
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
11622
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
11623
with the ``--forward`` option.
11624
11625
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
11626
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
11627
field.
11628
11629

Enhancements
11631
************
11632
11633
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
11634
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
11635
11636
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
11637
11638
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11639
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
11640
11641
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
11642
11643
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
11644
either read or write mode.
11645
11646
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
11647
11648
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
11649
affected that file.
11650
11651
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
11652
11653
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
11654
suggested by LarstiQ.
11655
11656
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
11657
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
11658
11659
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
11660
a filename.
11661
11662
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
11663
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
11664
11665
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
11666
haven't changed since the previous time.
11667
11668
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
11669
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
11670
11671
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
11672
11673
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
11674
11675
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
11676
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
11677
11678
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
11679
options through to an external GNU diff.
11680
11681
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
11682
their contents.
11683
11684

11685
from a branch.

11692
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.

11695
metacharacters.

Testing
11699
*******
11700
11701
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
11702
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
11703
the tests.
11704
11705
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
11706
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
11707
11708
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
11709
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
11710
11711
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
11712
under a different version.
11713
11714

11724
11725

11726
11727
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
11728
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
11729
11730
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
11731
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
11732
11733
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.

11777
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
11778
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
11779
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
11780
there are DNS problems.

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)
206
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)
210
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)
215
216
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
217
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
218
(Martin Pool, #733136)
219
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)
223
224
* Standalone bzr.exe installation on Windows: user can put additional python
225
libraries into ``site-packages`` subdirectory of the installation directory,
226
this might be required for "installing" extra dependencies for some plugins.
227
(Alexander Belchenko, #743256)

* When reporting a crash without apport, don't print the full list of
230

:2.3.0: 2011-02-03
278
279
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we
280
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it
281
until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1
282
and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned
283
to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.)
284
285
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number
286
of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have
287
been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related
288
branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better
289
conflict resolution.
290
291
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
292

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.
304
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.

Improvements
318
************
319
320
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
321
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
322
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
323
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
324
325
* ``ControlDir.sprout`` no longer opens the target repository more than
326
once. This avoids some unnecessary IO, and removes a network roundtrip
327
when doing ``bzr branch`` to a smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts)
328
329
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
330
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
331
332
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
333
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
334
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
335
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
336
337
* ``bzr tags``'s "sort" argument now allows registering custom sort
338
methods using the ``bzrlib.tag.tag_sort_methods`` registry.
339
(Jelmer Vernooij, #701244)
340
341
* ``bt.test_http`` was breaking ``os.environ`` by erasing the values saved by
342
``TestCase`` leading to ``bt.test_import_tariff`` failures.
343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
344
345
* ``upgrade`` now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is
346
specified. It also supports new options: ``--dry-run`` for showing what
347
will happen and ``--clean`` to remove the backup directory on successful
348
completion. (Ian Clatworthy, Matthew Fuller, #89830, #374734, #422450)

Bug Fixes
351
*********
352
353
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
354
or undesirable results.
355
356
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
357
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
358
359
* ``bzr break-lock`` on a corrupted lock file works correctly, rather than
360
raising a PermissionDenied error. We were accidentally holding open the
361
file we were trying to delete. (John Arbash Meinel, #659978)
362
363
* ``bzr update`` in a checkout of a readonly branch works again, without
364
trying to set the tags in the master branch. This had been broken by the
365
bug fix for bug #603395. (John Arbash Meinel, #701212)
366
367
* Per-transport tests now prefer to use ``Transport.get_bytes()`` rather
368
than ``Transport.get().read()``. The SFTP code uses an async message to
369
close the file handle if you let the handle die from refcounting, while
370
it uses a synchronous message if you close it directly. This should help
371
prevent random test suite failures from race conditions.
372
(John Arbash Meinel, #681047)
373
374
* Stop using ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile``. It is incompatible with
375
python-2.7 and was only used for Knit format repositories, which haven't
376
been recommended since 2007. The file itself will be removed in the next
377
release. (John Arbash Meinel)
378
379
* The BZR_COLUMNS environment variable can be set to 0 to indicate no
380
limitation on the width of the terminal. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #675652)
381
382
* Treat WSAECONNABORTED the same as WSAECONNRESET for the purposes of
383
considering a smart data stream as being interrupted. This fixes a
384
failure in the windows test suite, that was trying to ensure we cleanly
385
handled a server disconnect. (John Arbash Meinel, #581311, #686587)
386
387
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
388
the directory properly rather than crashing.
389
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
390
391
* You are now able to commit directly to a stacked branch. Any needed
392
parent inventories will be filled in as part of the commit process.

API Changes
402
***********
403
404
* ``Branch.sprout``, ``BranchFormat.initalize`` and
405
``ControlDir.create_branch`` now take an optional ``repository`` keyword
406
argument, and ``BranchFormat.open`` now takes an optional
407
``found_repository`` keyword argument. These provide the repository
408
object for new branch object to use (for cases when the caller has
409
already opened that repository). Implementations of these APIs will
410
need to be updated to accept these arguments. (Andrew Bennetts)
411
412
* ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile`` is now deprecated and will be removed in
413
the bzr-2.4 series. Code that was using it can just use the python
414
stdlib ``gzip.GzipFile``. (John Arbash Meinel)
415
416
417
Testing
418
*******
419
420
* ``bzrlib.tests`` defines ``isolated_environ`` with the definitions of all
421
the environment variables the tests should care about. It also defines
422
``override_os_environ`` and ``restore_os_environ`` to properly implement
423
isolation from ``os.environ`` for tests. ``bzrlib.tests`` now defines a
424
``DocTestSuite`` class using this facility for all ``bzrlib``
425
doctests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #321320)
426
427
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
428
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
429
430
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
432
433
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
434
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
435
436
* ``TestCase._captureVar`` and ``TestCase._old_env`` have been deleted due to
437
bug #690563. Test writers are encouraged to use ``TestCase.overrideEnv``
438
instead. (Vincent Ladeuil)
439
440
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
441
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)

470
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
471
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
472
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)
477
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)

521
RepositoryFormatCHK1 and RepositoryFormatCHK2 have been removed, and so

output should not be checked (as opposed to expecting an empty output).

Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.

(Martin Pool, #637830)
536
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])
540

environment variables while respecting the isolation rules. Get rid of
543
TestCase._restoreEnvironment which is now useless.
544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)

smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
595
596
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
597
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
598
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
599

614
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)
618
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

* 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

* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
703
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
704
705
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
706
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
707
708
* Add ``-Dmem_dump`` debug flag, which uses meliae to dump memory to
709
a file upon an out of memory error.
710
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
711
712
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
713
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
714
hook.
715
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
716

* 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)

``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option controls the ``bzr``
766

:2.3b1: 2010-09-20
841
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.
846
847
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
848
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
849
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
850
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
851
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
852
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
853
through the 2.3 series.
854
855
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
856
its own.

************
866
867
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
868
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
869
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
870
871
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
872
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
873
874
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
875
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
876
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
877
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
878
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
879
880
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
881
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
882
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
883
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
884
885
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
886
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)

893
894
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
895
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
896
897
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
898
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
899
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
900
will be backed up (adding an extension of the form .~#~).
901
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
902
903
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
904
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
905
(Andrew Bennetts)
906
907
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
908
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
909
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
910
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
911
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
912
(John Arbash Meinel)
913
914
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
915
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
916
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
917
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
918
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
919
920
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
921
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
922
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
923
924
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
925
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
926
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
927
928
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text when writing to pack
929
repositories.
930
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
931
932
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
933
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
934
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
935
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
936
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
937
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
938
939
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
940
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.

949
950
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
951
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
952
marked versioned too.
953
(Martin Pool, #192859)
954
955
* ``bzr clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
956
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
957
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)

960
target of the symlink.
961
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
962
963
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
964
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
965
regular expression.
966
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
967

* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
969
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
970
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
971
972
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
973
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
974
975
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic

991
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
992
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
993
994
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
995
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
996
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)

999
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)

1005
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1006
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1007
1008
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
1009
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
1010
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on

1024
1025
* Fix a problem in bzr's ``Makefile`` that meant syntax errors in some
1026
parts of bzr's source code could cause ``make check-nodocs`` to
1027
incorrectly return an exit code of 0.
1028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
1029
1030
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
1031
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
1032
1033

1034
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
1035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
1036
1037
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
1038
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
1039
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.

1041
1042
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.

(Martin Pool, #98735)
1044
1045
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,

1047
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1048

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)
1058
1059
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1060

1061
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1062
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1063

`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
1121
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
1122
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
1123

`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
1125
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.

* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
1133
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
1134
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
1135
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1136
1137
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
1138
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
1139
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
1140
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
1141
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1142
1143
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
1144
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
1145
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
1146
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
1147
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1148
1149
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
1150
relative change in revno.
1151
(Martin Pool)
1152
1153
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
1154
longer raised.
1155
(Martin Pool)
1156
1157
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
1158
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
1159
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1160
1161
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
1162
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
1163
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
1164
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
1165
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
1166
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
1167
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
1168
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
1169
1170
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
1171
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
1172
1173
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
1174
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
1175
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1176
1177
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
1178
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.

* Avoid spurious failures in ssh tests: wait for the SSH server to
1191
actually finish, rather than just waiting for it to negotiate the key
1192
exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
1193
1194
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
1195
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1196
1197
* Catch socket errors to avoid
1198
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
1199
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
1200
1201
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
1202
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
1203
1204
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
1205
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
1206
1207
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
1208
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
1209
1210
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
1211
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
1212
macrobenchmark suite.
1213
(Martin Pool)
1214
1215
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
1216
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
1217
(Andrew Bennetts)
1218
1219
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
1220
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
1221
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
1222
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
1223
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
1224
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
1225
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1226
1227
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
1228
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
1229
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
1230
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
