12
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
15
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
16
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
17
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
21
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
22
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
26
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
27
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
30
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
31
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
33
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
34
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
37
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
38
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
39
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
42
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
43
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
44
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
45
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
46
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
47
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
48
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
49
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
50
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
51
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
55
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
56
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
58
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
59
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
60
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
62
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
63
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
64
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
65
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
66
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
67
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
69
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
70
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
72
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
73
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
75
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
76
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
77
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
78
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
79
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
80
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
82
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
83
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
85
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
86
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
88
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
89
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
90
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
91
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
93
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
94
assuming the host name is ascii.
95
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
97
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
98
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
102
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
104
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
105
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
106
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
109
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
110
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
112
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
113
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
115
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
116
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
120
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
121
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
122
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
123
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
125
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
126
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
127
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
129
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
134
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
135
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
138
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
139
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
140
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
141
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
142
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
144
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
145
is unknown in both source and target.
146
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
148
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
149
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
150
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
151
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
153
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
154
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
155
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
156
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
159
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
160
-----------------------
164
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
165
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
166
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
167
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
170
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
171
-----------------------
173
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
174
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
175
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
176
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
177
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
178
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
179
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
180
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
181
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
182
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
183
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
184
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
188
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
189
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
190
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
191
start of the string (causing more copies).
192
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
193
especially for projects with large files.
196
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
197
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
198
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
199
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
200
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
202
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
203
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
204
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
205
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
206
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
207
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
213
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
214
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
215
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
216
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
217
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
218
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
219
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
220
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
221
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
224
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
225
---------------------
229
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
230
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
231
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
232
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
233
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
236
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
237
---------------------
241
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
242
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
243
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
246
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
247
---------------------
251
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
252
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
257
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
258
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
259
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
264
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
265
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
266
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
268
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
269
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
270
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
271
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
272
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
273
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
274
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
277
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
278
---------------------
280
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
285
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
286
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
288
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
289
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
292
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
293
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
294
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
295
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
296
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
298
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
299
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
301
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
302
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
304
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
305
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
307
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
308
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
309
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
310
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
311
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
312
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
315
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
316
---------------------
318
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
319
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
320
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
321
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
322
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
326
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
327
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
328
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
332
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
333
check. (Daniel Watkins)
335
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
336
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
338
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
339
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
340
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
342
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
345
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
346
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
347
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
348
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
349
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
350
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
351
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
353
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
354
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
355
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
359
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
360
physical repository boundaries.
361
(Martin Pool, #252428)
363
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
364
(Martin Pool, #206258)
366
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
367
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
370
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
373
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
374
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
375
that Python is running from.
376
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
378
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
379
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
380
(Robert Collins, #150438)
382
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
383
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
385
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
386
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
387
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
389
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
390
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
392
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
393
(James Westby, #248448)
397
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
398
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
399
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
402
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
403
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
406
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
407
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
408
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
409
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
410
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
411
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
414
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
415
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
417
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
418
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
419
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
420
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
421
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
422
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
426
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
427
putting together a real history without having to create a full
428
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
429
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
430
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
431
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
433
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
434
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
435
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
437
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
440
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
441
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
443
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
447
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
448
-----------------------
450
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
451
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
452
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
453
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
458
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
459
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
460
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
462
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
463
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
464
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
465
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
466
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
469
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
471
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
472
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
473
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
478
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
479
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
482
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
483
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
484
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
485
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
487
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
488
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
489
(Christophe Troestler)
491
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
492
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
494
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
495
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
496
faster. The new request method name is
497
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
501
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
502
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
503
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
504
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
505
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
507
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
508
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
510
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
511
requires a branch to be present.
512
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
514
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
516
(Martin Pool, #205230)
518
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
519
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
520
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
521
(Martin Pool, #240161)
523
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
524
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
526
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
528
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
530
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
531
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
532
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
533
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
534
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
536
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
537
(Martin Pool, #172870)
539
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
540
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
542
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
544
(Matt McClure, #209281)
546
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
547
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
549
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
550
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
554
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
557
* Updated developer documentation.
562
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
563
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
565
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
566
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
567
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
568
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
572
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
573
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
574
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
575
Repository docstring for more details.
578
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
579
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
580
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
582
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
583
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
586
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
587
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
588
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
589
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
593
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
594
(Alexander Belchenko)
596
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
597
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
598
containing a given location.
601
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
602
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
603
storage. (Robert Collins)
605
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
608
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
609
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
613
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
614
-----------------------
616
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
617
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
618
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
623
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
624
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
625
reading from the repository.)
626
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
628
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
629
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
631
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
632
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
635
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
636
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
637
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
639
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
640
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
641
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
643
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
644
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
646
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
647
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
648
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
653
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
655
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
656
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
657
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
660
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
661
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
665
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
669
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
670
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
674
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
675
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
676
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
677
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
678
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
680
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
681
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
685
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
686
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
688
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
689
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
692
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
693
-----------------------
696
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
697
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
698
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
699
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
700
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
701
and future extensions.
704
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
706
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
707
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
708
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
709
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
710
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
711
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
712
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
713
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
717
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
718
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
723
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
728
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
729
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
730
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
731
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
733
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
734
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
735
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
737
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
738
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
740
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
741
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
742
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
744
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
745
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
746
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
747
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
748
step closer to not using full revision history.
749
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
753
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
754
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
756
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
757
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
759
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
760
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
762
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
763
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
764
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
765
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
767
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
768
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
769
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
770
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
772
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
773
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
774
in use by another process.
777
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
778
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
779
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
780
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
782
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
783
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
785
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
786
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
789
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
790
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
793
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
797
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
798
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
800
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
801
under vim on Mac OS X.
802
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
804
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
805
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
809
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
810
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
812
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
813
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
816
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
817
and about use of Python reprs.
818
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
820
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
824
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
827
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
828
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
830
* New helper function for splitting test suites
831
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
835
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
836
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
837
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
842
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
843
instead. (Martin Pool)
845
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
846
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
847
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
848
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
850
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
851
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
852
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
853
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
854
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
856
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
857
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
858
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
859
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
860
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
861
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
863
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
864
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
867
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
868
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
871
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
872
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
873
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
874
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
876
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
877
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
878
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
880
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
881
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
882
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
883
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
884
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
887
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
888
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
889
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
890
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
893
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
894
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
895
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
896
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
897
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
899
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
906
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
907
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
908
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
912
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
913
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
914
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
918
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
919
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
923
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
924
---------------------
926
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
930
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
931
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
932
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
933
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
939
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
940
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
942
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
943
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
945
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
950
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
953
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
954
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
956
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
957
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
958
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
960
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
961
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
962
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
964
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
967
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
970
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
971
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
973
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
974
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
976
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
977
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
979
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
980
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
983
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
984
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
986
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
987
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
989
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
990
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
991
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
992
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
994
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
995
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
998
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
999
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1000
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1002
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1003
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1004
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1005
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1006
every revision each side had in common.
1007
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1009
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1010
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1012
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1013
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1014
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1015
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1019
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1020
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1021
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1022
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1024
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1026
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1028
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1033
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1034
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1035
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1037
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1038
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1039
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1040
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1042
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1043
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1045
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1046
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1047
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1048
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1050
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1051
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1052
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1053
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1057
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1058
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1059
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1061
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1063
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1064
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1066
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1067
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1069
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1070
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1074
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1075
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1076
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1078
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1079
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1080
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1083
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1084
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1087
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1094
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1095
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1096
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1097
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1098
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1099
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1100
and faster performance.
1104
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1105
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1106
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1107
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
1110
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1111
---------------------
1115
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1116
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1117
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1119
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1120
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1122
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1123
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1125
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1126
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1127
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1128
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1129
every revision each side had in common.
1130
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1133
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1134
---------------------
1138
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1140
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1141
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1143
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1144
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1145
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1147
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1148
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1149
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1150
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1151
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1152
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1155
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1156
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1157
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1158
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1162
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1164
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1165
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1166
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1168
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1169
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1170
See the User Reference for signature details.
1171
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1173
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1174
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1178
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1179
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1180
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1181
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1183
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1184
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1186
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1187
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1188
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1191
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1194
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1195
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1196
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1198
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1201
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1202
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1204
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1205
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1207
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1208
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1209
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1211
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1212
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1213
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1214
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1215
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1217
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1218
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1220
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1221
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1225
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1226
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1227
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1228
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1229
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1230
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1232
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1233
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1235
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1236
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1237
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1239
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1240
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1242
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1243
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1244
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1245
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1247
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1248
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1249
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1250
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1251
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1253
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1255
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1256
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1258
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1260
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1261
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1263
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1264
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1268
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1270
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1272
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1274
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1278
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1279
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1280
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1282
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1283
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1284
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1285
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1287
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1288
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1289
release. (James Westby)
1291
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1294
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1296
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1297
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1299
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1300
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1302
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1303
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1305
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1306
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1307
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1309
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1310
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1311
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1312
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1314
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1315
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1316
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1317
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1319
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1320
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1321
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1322
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1323
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1324
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1326
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1327
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1328
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1330
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1331
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1333
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1334
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1337
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1338
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1340
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1341
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1343
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1344
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1346
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1347
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1348
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1350
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1351
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1352
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1353
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1354
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1355
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1359
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1360
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1361
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1362
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1364
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1365
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1366
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1367
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1371
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1372
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1375
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1376
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1378
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1380
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1381
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1382
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1386
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1388
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1391
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1392
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1393
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1394
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1395
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1396
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1398
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1399
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1401
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1402
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1403
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1404
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1406
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1407
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1409
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1410
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
1413
bzr 1.3.1 2008-04-09
1414
--------------------
1416
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
1419
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04

---------------------
1424
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

1426
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1427
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1433
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1435
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1436
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1437
features have been added.
1441
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

(#202778, Martin Pool)
1446
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1447
---------------------
1449
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1451
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1452
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1456
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1457
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1458
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1459
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1462
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1463
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1464
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1465
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1466
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1467
(Alexander Belchenko)
1469
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1470
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1471
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1472
(Alexander Belchenko)
1474
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1476
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1477
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1481
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1482
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1485
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1490
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1492
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1494
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1495
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1496
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1498
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1499
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1502
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1504
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1505
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1506
(Alexander Belchenko)
1508
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1509
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1510
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1511
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1513
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1516
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1517
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1518
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1519
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1520
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1524
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1525
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1526
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1527
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1529
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1530
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1532
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1533
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1535
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1536
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1537
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1539
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1540
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1542
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1545
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1546
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1548
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1550
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1552
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1553
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1555
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1556
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1558
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1559
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1561
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1562
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1564
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1565
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1567
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1568
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1572
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1573
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1577
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1578
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1579
(Alexander Belchenko)
1583
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1585
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1586
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1591
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1592
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1593
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1595
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1596
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1597
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1598
(Alexander Belchenko)
1600
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1601
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1602
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1603
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1605
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1606
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1607
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1610
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1611
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1612
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1614
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1615
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1616
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1618
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1619
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1620
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1621
format. (Robert Collins)
1629
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1632
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1633
---------------------
1635
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1637
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1638
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1639
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1640
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1641
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1646
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1647
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1649
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1650
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1651
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1653
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1654
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1655
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1656
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1657
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1658
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1663
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1664
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1666
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1667
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1668
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1671
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1672
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1673
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1674
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1675
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1677
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1678
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1679
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1680
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1681
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1682
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1683
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1684
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1688
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1689
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1691
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1692
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1694
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1695
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1697
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1698
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1699
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1701
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1702
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1703
(John Arbash Meinel)
1707
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1708
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1710
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1711
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1713
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1714
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1716
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1717
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1718
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1720
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1721
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1722
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1724
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1725
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1727
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1728
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1729
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1730
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1731
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1733
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1735
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1736
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1739
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1740
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1742
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1743
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1745
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1748
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1749
more characters which should be considered valid.
1750
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1752
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1753
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1755
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1756
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1760
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1761
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1763
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1764
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1769
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1770
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1775
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1776
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1777
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1779
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1780
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1781
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1783
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1784
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1785
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1786
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1788
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1790
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1791
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1792
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1793
server. (Robert Collins)
1795
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1796
operate. (Robert Collins)
1798
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1799
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1800
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1802
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1803
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1804
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1805
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1807
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1808
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1810
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1811
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1812
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1814
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1815
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1817
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1818
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1820
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1821
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1822
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1823
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1829
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1831
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1832
---------------------
1836
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1837
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1838
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1839
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1841
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1842
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1843
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1844
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1848
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1851
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1854
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1855
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1859
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1862
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1863
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1864
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1866
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1868
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1869
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1870
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1871
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1872
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1874
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1875
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1876
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1878
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1879
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1881
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1884
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1886
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1888
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1891
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1892
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1896
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1897
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1899
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1902
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1905
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1906
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1908
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1909
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1911
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1912
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1914
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1915
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1917
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1918
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1919
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1921
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1924
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1925
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1928
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1930
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1931
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1934
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1935
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1937
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1940
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1943
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1944
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1946
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1949
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1950
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1953
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1954
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1959
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1962
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1963
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1964
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1965
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1966
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1967
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1969
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1973
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1976
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1977
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1979
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1981
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1982
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1983
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1986
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1987
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1989
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1996
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1997
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1998
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2000
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2001
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2004
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2005
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2007
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2008
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2010
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2011
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2013
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2014
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2015
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2017
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2018
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2020
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2021
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2023
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2024
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2027
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2028
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2030
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2031
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2039
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2041
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2044
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2046
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2047
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2051
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2052
---------------------
2056
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2057
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2058
by mail to the mailing list.
2063
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2065
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2066
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2067
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2068
feedback but also incur more latency.
2069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2071
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2072
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2076
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2078
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2083
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2084
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2085
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2089
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2090
---------------------
2094
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2096
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2099
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2102
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2103
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2104
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2105
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2107
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2110
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2111
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2113
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2114
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2115
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2117
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2118
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2119
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2120
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2121
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2122
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2123
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2124
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2125
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2129
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2132
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2136
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2137
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2139
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2141
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2143
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2144
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2148
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2149
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2151
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2152
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2156
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2157
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2160
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2161
---------------------
2163
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2165
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2166
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2167
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2168
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2170
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2171
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2173
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2174
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2176
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2177
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2178
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2179
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2180
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2181
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2182
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2183
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2184
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2185
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2186
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2187
from any tree without problems.
2188
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2192
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2193
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2194
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2196
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2197
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2198
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2203
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2204
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2205
supported transports.
2208
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2209
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2210
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2212
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2213
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2215
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2216
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2217
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2218
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2220
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2221
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2225
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2226
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2227
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2228
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2230
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2231
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2232
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2233
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2235
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2236
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2238
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2239
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2241
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2242
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2244
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2245
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2250
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2253
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2254
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2257
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2258
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2259
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2260
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2262
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2263
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2264
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2265
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2271
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2272
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2274
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2275
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2277
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2278
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2280
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2283
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2284
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2286
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2287
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2289
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2292
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2295
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2298
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2299
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2302
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2303
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2305
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2306
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2308
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2309
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2314
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2315
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2316
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2317
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2319
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2321
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2322
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2323
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2325
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2326
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2328
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2330
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2332
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2333
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2335
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2336
specify a port in urls.
2337
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2339
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2340
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2342
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2343
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2345
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2346
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2348
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2349
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2351
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2352
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2353
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2355
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2357
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2358
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2360
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2363
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2364
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2366
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2367
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2369
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2370
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2371
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2373
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2374
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2376
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2377
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2378
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2379
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2381
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2382
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2384
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2385
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2386
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2388
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2389
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2391
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2394
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2399
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2400
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2402
* The return value of
2403
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2404
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2405
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2406
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2408
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2411
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2412
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2418
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2419
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2420
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2423
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2424
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2426
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
2436
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
2439
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
2440
----------------------
2442
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2446
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2447
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2449
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2450
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2451
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2452
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2453
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2454
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2455
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2456
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2457
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2458
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2459
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2460
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2465
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2466
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2467
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2468
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2469
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2470
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2472
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2473
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2474
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2477
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2479
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2480
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2482
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2483
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2486
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2487
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2488
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2492
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2493
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2495
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2496
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2498
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2499
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2500
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2501
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2503
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2506
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2507
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2508
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2509
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2511
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2512
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2514
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2515
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2517
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2518
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2520
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2521
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2525
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2526
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2528
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2529
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2531
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2532
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2534
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2535
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2537
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2538
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2542
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2544
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2549
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2550
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2551
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2553
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2554
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2556
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2557
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2559
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2560
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2561
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2562
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2564
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2565
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2566
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2567
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2568
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2570
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2571
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2573
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2575
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2577
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2578
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2580
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2583
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2586
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2587
contains a symbolic link.
2588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2590
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2591
(James Westby, #140615)
2593
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2594
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2597
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2598
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2599
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2601
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2603
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2606
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2610
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2611
directory to detect leaking tests.
2612
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2614
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2615
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2616
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2618
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2621
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2622
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2624
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2629
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2630
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2632
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2633
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2634
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2636
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2637
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2638
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2640
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2641
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2643
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2644
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2646
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2647
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2650
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2651
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2653
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2654
class that needs it.
2657
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2658
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2660
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2661
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2662
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2664
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2665
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2666
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2669
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2670
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2671
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2672
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2677
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2678
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2679
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2681
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2682
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2683
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2684
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2686
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2687
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2690
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2691
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2692
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2694
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2695
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2696
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2698
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2699
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2701
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2702
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2703
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2705
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2706
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2708
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2709
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2710
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2712
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2713
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2714
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2716
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2717
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2718
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2719
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2721
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2722
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2723
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2724
returned. (Robert Collins)
2726
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2727
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2729
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2730
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2731
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2732
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2735
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2736
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2740
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2741
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2743
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2744
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2745
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2746
makes this behavior available to other users.
2749
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2750
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2758
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2759
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2760
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2762
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2764
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2765
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2766
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2767
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2769
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2770
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2774
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2775
----------------------
2777
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2778
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2781
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2782
----------------------
2786
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2787
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2788
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2789
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2792
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2793
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2794
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2799
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2800
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2801
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2804
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2805
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2806
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2808
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2809
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2810
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2812
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2813
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2815
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2816
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2817
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2818
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2819
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2820
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2821
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2822
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2823
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2824
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2826
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2827
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2829
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2830
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2831
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2835
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2836
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2838
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2839
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2840
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2842
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2843
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2845
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2846
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2848
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2851
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2852
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2854
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2855
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2857
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2858
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2860
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2861
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2863
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2865
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2868
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2869
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2870
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2871
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2873
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2875
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2876
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2879
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2880
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2882
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2883
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2886
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2887
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2889
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2890
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2892
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2893
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2894
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2895
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2896
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2897
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2898
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2900
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2901
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2903
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2904
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2906
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2907
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2909
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2910
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2912
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2916
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2917
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2919
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2920
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2921
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2923
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2924
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2925
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2929
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2930
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2932
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2935
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2938
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2939
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2941
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2943
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2944
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2946
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2947
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2949
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2950
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2951
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2952
space). (Robert Collins)
2954
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2955
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2958
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2959
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2961
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2962
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2964
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2965
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2966
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2967
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2969
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2970
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2971
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2974
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2977
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2978
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2979
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2981
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2982
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2983
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2984
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2985
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2989
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2990
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2992
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2993
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2994
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2995
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2996
affected. (Robert Collins)
2998
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2999
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3000
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3003
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3004
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3008
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3009
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3011
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3012
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3014
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3015
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3017
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3020
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3021
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3025
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3026
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3027
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3028
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3030
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3031
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3033
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3034
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3035
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3036
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3038
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3039
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3040
present. (Robert Collins)
3042
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3043
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3044
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3045
API. (Robert Collins)
3047
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3048
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3051
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3052
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3054
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3055
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3056
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3057
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3058
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3059
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3061
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3062
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3063
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3065
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3066
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3067
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3068
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3071
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3074
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3075
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3076
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3077
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3078
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3079
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3080
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3082
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3083
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3084
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3085
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3087
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3088
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3089
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3090
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3091
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3092
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3094
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3095
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3096
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3098
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3099
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3107
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3108
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3109
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3110
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3111
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3112
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3113
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3114
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3119
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3120
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3121
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3124
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3125
----------------------
3129
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3130
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3131
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3132
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3133
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3135
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3138
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3142
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3143
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3146
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3147
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3150
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3153
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3154
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3156
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3157
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3159
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3160
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3162
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3163
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3165
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3166
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3168
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3173
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3174
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3176
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3177
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3179
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3180
the repository (Robert Collins)
3182
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3183
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3184
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3185
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3186
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3188
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3189
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3191
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3192
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3193
(John Arbash Meinel)
3195
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3196
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3197
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3199
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3200
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3201
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3202
(John Arbash Meinel)
3204
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3205
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3208
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3209
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3211
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3214
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3216
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3218
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3219
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3221
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3222
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3225
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3226
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3227
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3228
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3230
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3231
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3232
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3234
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3235
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3236
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3238
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3239
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3241
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3242
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3243
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3244
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3245
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3246
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3249
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3250
(Alexander Belchenko)
3252
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3253
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3255
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3256
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3258
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3260
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3261
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3265
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3266
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3267
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3268
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3270
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3272
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3275
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3276
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3277
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3278
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3279
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3280
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3284
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3285
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3286
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3287
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3289
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3290
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3291
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3292
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3293
tests have been refactored too.
3296
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3297
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3298
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3302
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3303
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3304
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3306
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3307
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3308
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3309
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3310
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3311
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3312
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3314
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3315
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3316
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3317
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3318
(John Arbash Meinel)
3320
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3321
functionality for testing.
3323
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3325
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3326
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3328
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3330
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3333
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3334
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3336
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3337
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3338
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3340
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3343
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3344
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3346
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3347
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3348
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3349
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3351
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3352
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3354
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3355
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3356
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3358
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3361
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3362
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3363
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3364
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3365
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3366
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3368
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3369
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3370
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3371
many files. (Robert Collins)
3373
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3374
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3375
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3376
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3380
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3381
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3382
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3384
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3385
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3387
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3388
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3389
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3393
--------------------
3397
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
3400
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
3401
-----------------------
3405
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3406
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3408
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3409
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3410
(James Westby, #122656)
3412
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3413
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3415
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3416
authentication header.
3417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3419
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3421
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3422
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3424
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3426
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3429
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3430
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3433
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3434
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3435
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3437
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3438
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3440
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3443
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3444
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3446
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3448
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3452
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3453
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3454
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3455
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3456
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3457
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3459
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3460
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3461
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3463
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3466
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3467
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3469
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3470
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3472
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3473
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3475
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3476
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3477
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3478
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3479
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3481
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3482
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3484
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3485
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3486
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3488
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3489
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3491
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3493
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3494
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3496
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3497
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3500
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3503
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3504
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3506
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3507
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3509
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3510
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3512
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3514
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3515
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3517
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3522
* Testing cleanups -
3523
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3524
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3525
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3526
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3527
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3528
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3529
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3530
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3531
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3532
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3533
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3534
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3535
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3536
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3537
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3538
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3539
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3542
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3544
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3545
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3546
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3548
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3549
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3551
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3552
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3554
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3556
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3557
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3558
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3559
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3560
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3561
same location. (Robert Collins)
3565
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3567
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3569
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3571
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3574
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3577
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3578
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3579
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3581
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3583
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3584
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3585
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3587
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3588
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3590
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3591
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3592
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3594
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3595
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3596
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3598
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3599
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3600
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3602
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3603
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3606
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3607
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3609
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3610
(Alexander Belchenko)
3614
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3615
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3616
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3617
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3619
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3620
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3621
testing. (Robert Collins)
3623
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3624
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3626
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3627
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3628
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3629
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3630
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3631
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3632
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3634
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3635
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3636
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3637
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3639
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3640
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3642
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3643
avoid useless cloning.
3644
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
3648
--------------------
3652
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
3653
(Colin Watson, #120647)
3655
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
3656
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
3659
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
3660
-----------------------
3662
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3664
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3665
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3666
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3667
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3668
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3669
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3670
and unlock() like so::
3672
work_tree.lock_read()
3674
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3679
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3680
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3682
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3683
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3684
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3686
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3687
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3688
too. (Robert Collins)
3692
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3693
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3696
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3697
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3699
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3700
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3702
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3703
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3704
understanding what changes have occurred
3705
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3707
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3708
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3709
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3711
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3712
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3713
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3714
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3716
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3721
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3722
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3723
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3724
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3725
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3727
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3728
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3729
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3731
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3732
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3734
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3736
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3738
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3739
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3741
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3742
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3744
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3745
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3747
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3748
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3750
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3751
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3753
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3754
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3755
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3758
--------------------
3762
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3763
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3764
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3765
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3766
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3768
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3769
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3770
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3772
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3773
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3777
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3778
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3779
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3781
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3782
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3783
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3784
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3786
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3787
-----------------------
3791
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3792
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3793
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3794
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3796
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3797
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3798
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3800
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3801
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3803
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3804
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3806
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3807
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3809
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3810
-----------------------
3812
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3814
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3815
it could be recovered again.
3816
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3817
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3818
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3820
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3822
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3823
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3827
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3828
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3830
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3831
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3832
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3833
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3835
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3836
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3838
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3839
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3840
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3842
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3843
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3844
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3846
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3847
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3848
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3850
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3851
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3854
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3857
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3858
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3859
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3860
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3862
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3865
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3866
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3867
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3870
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3871
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3873
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3874
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3876
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3877
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3878
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3879
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3882
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3883
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3885
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3886
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3888
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3889
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3890
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3892
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3893
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3894
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3896
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3897
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3898
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3900
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3901
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3902
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3903
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3905
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3906
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3907
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3908
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3910
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3911
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3912
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3913
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3914
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3915
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3916
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3917
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3923
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3924
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3926
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3927
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3928
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3929
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3930
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3932
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3933
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3935
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3936
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3938
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3939
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3941
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3942
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3944
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3945
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3946
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3949
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3950
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3951
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3952
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3953
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3956
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3957
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3958
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3960
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3961
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3964
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3965
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3966
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3969
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3970
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3971
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3972
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3973
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3975
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3976
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3977
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3978
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3980
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3981
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3983
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3984
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3985
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3986
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3987
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3988
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3990
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3991
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3993
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3994
help. (Robert Collins)
3996
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3997
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3999
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4000
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4001
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4002
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4003
(John Arbash Meinel)
4005
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4006
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4007
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4008
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4009
useful. (Robert Collins)
4011
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4016
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4017
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4019
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4020
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4022
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4023
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4024
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4026
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4029
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4030
the file, and does it faster.
4031
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4033
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4034
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4035
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4037
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4038
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4039
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4040
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4042
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4043
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4044
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4045
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4047
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4048
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4050
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4051
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4052
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4053
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4056
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4058
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4059
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4061
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4062
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4064
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4065
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4066
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4067
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4071
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4076
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4077
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4078
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4080
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4081
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4083
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4084
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4085
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4086
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4087
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4088
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4089
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4090
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4092
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4093
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4094
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4096
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4097
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4098
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4099
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4100
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4102
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4104
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4105
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4106
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4108
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4109
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4117
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4120
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4121
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
4124
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4125
-----------------------
4129
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4130
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4135
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4136
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4137
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4138
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4139
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4140
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4141
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4142
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4147
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4148
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4149
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4151
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4152
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4155
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4156
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4157
(John Arbash Meinel)
4159
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4160
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4161
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4162
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4163
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4167
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4170
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4171
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4173
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4174
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4176
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4177
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4178
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4180
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4181
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4183
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4184
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4185
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4186
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4187
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4189
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4190
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4191
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4193
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
4196
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4197
-----------------------
4199
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4201
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4202
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4203
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4207
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4208
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4210
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4211
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4213
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4215
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4216
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4218
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4219
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4223
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4228
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4229
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4230
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4231
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4233
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4234
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4236
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4237
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4239
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4242
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
4243
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
4246
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4247
-----------------------
4251
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4252
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4253
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4254
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4255
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4256
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4258
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4259
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4260
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4261
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4262
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4263
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4265
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4267
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4268
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4269
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4270
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4271
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4272
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4273
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4274
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4278
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4279
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4281
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4282
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4283
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4284
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4286
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4287
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4288
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4289
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4290
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4292
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4295
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4298
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4301
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4302
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4305
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4308
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4309
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4311
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4312
directory. (Martin Pool)
4314
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4315
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4316
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4317
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4319
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4320
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4321
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4322
in docs/configuration.txt.
4324
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4325
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4328
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4329
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4330
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4331
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4332
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4333
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4335
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4336
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4338
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4339
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4341
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4346
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4347
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4348
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4349
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4350
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4351
(John Arbash Meinel)
4353
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4354
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4357
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4358
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4359
(John Arbash Meinel)
4361
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4362
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4363
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4364
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4365
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4366
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4368
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4369
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4370
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4372
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4373
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4374
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4375
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4377
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4379
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4380
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4381
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4382
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4384
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4385
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4386
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4387
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4389
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4390
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4391
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4393
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4394
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4395
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4397
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4398
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4399
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4400
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4402
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4403
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4404
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4406
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4407
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4408
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4410
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4411
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4412
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4413
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4414
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4415
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4416
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4417
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4418
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4419
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4420
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4424
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4425
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4426
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4428
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4431
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4432
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4433
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4434
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4436
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4437
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4440
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4441
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4443
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4445
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4446
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4447
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4449
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4450
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4452
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4455
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4456
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4458
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4459
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4461
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4463
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4464
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4468
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4469
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
4473
--------------------
4477
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4481
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4482
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4483
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4485
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4486
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4487
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
4490
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4491
-----------------------
4495
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4496
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4497
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4498
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4500
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4503
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4504
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4505
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4507
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4508
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4510
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4513
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4514
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4515
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4516
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4517
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4518
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4520
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4521
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4522
should enable you to do::
4524
[/home/user/project]
4525
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4526
push_location:policy = appendpath
4528
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4529
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4532
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4533
for each file. For example::
4535
$ bzr status --short
4541
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4542
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4544
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4546
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4547
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4549
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4553
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4554
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4555
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4556
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4558
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4559
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4560
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4562
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4564
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4565
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4566
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4567
(Alexander Belchenko)
4569
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4572
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4573
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4575
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4579
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4580
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4582
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4583
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4584
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4585
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4586
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4588
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4589
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4591
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4592
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4594
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4596
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4598
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4599
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4600
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4601
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4602
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4604
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4605
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4606
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4607
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4609
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4610
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4612
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4613
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4615
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4616
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4618
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
4619
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
4627
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
4628
-----------------------
4632
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4634
(Daniel Silverstone)
4636
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4637
operations are substantially faster.
4638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4640
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4641
tree from some other url. For example:
4642
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4643
(Daniel Silverstone)
4645
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4646
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4647
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4648
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4650
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4653
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4654
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4655
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4656
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4657
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4658
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4662
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4663
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4666
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4667
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4668
(John Arbash Meinel)
4670
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4671
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4672
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4673
(John Arbash Meinel)
4675
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4676
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4678
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4679
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4681
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4682
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4687
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4688
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4689
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4691
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4692
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4693
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4694
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4696
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4698
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4699
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4701
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4702
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4703
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4704
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4706
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4707
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4708
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4710
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4711
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4712
them as full references rather than integers.
4713
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4715
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4716
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4718
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4720
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4721
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4723
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4724
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4726
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4727
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4728
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4729
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4731
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4732
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4733
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4735
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4736
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4738
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4739
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4740
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4741
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4742
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4746
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4747
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4750
--------------------
4754
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4755
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4756
(John Arbash Meinel)
4758
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4759
-----------------------
4763
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4764
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4765
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4766
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4768
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4769
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4771
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4773
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4774
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4775
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4776
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4778
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4779
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4780
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4781
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4782
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4784
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4786
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4787
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4791
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4792
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4793
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4795
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4796
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4797
(John Arbash Meinel)
4799
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4800
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4801
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4803
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4804
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4807
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4808
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4809
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4811
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4812
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4813
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4814
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4815
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4816
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4818
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4819
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4820
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4823
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4824
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4828
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4829
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4830
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4833
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4834
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4836
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4837
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4838
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4840
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4841
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4843
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4844
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4845
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4846
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4848
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4849
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4851
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4852
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4853
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4855
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4856
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4858
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4860
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4861
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4866
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4867
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4868
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4869
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4871
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4872
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4873
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4876
--------------------
4878
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4880
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4881
-----------------------
4885
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4887
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4890
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4891
-----------------------
4895
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4896
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4897
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4898
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4899
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4900
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4901
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4903
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4904
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4905
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4907
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4909
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4910
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4912
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4913
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4914
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4917
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4918
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4919
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4920
(John Arbash Meinel)
4922
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4923
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4924
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4925
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4928
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4929
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4930
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4931
(John Arbash Meinel)
4935
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4936
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4938
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4940
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4941
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4942
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4944
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4945
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4947
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4948
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4950
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4953
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4954
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4956
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4958
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4959
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4961
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4962
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4964
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4965
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4967
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4968
(John Arbash Meinel)
4970
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4971
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4972
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4974
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4975
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4977
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4978
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4979
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4980
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4982
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4983
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4984
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4986
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4987
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4991
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4995
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4996
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4997
(John Arbash Meinel)
4999
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5000
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5001
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5002
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5004
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5007
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5008
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5009
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5011
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5012
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5014
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5015
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5016
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5018
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5019
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5020
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5021
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5022
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5023
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5024
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5025
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5026
caller to repeat their request.
5027
(John Arbash Meinel)
5029
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5030
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5032
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5033
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5035
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5036
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5037
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5038
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5039
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5040
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5041
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5043
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5044
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5045
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5046
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5047
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5048
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5049
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5050
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5053
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5054
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5055
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5057
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5058
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5060
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5061
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5063
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5064
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5068
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5069
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5071
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5072
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5073
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5075
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5076
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5077
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5080
--------------------
5083
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5084
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5086
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5087
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5088
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5089
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5090
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5092
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5093
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5094
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5096
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5097
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5099
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5100
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5101
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5105
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5107
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5108
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5109
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5111
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5113
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5115
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5116
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5117
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5118
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5120
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5121
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5122
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5123
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5124
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5126
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5127
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5129
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5130
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5132
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5133
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5135
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5136
in handling of revision properties.
5137
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5139
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5140
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5144
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5145
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5146
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5147
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5148
(John Arbash Meinel)
5150
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5151
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5152
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5154
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5155
---------------------
5159
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5160
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5161
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5162
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5163
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5164
a more conservative list than the old default.
5165
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5166
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5167
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5168
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5170
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5171
to more locations than just branch locations.
5176
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5177
revno:N:branch. For example,
5178
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5179
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
5181
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5182
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5183
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5184
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5185
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
5186
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5187
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
5188
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
5191
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5192
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5193
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
5196
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
5197
(Alexander Belchenko)
5199
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
5201
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
5204
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5205
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5206
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5207
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5208
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5209
(John Arbash Meinel)
5211
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5212
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5213
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
5214
grained analysis of performance.
5215
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5217
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
5218
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
5220
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
5221
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
5222
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
5223
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
5224
file. (Robert Collins).
5226
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
5227
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
5228
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
5230
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5231
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5234
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5235
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5237
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5238
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5239
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5240
the same way you would apply another branch.
5241
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5243
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5244
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5246
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5249
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5252
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5253
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5254
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5256
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5257
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5258
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5260
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5261
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5263
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5264
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5265
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5266
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5267
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5269
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5270
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5272
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5273
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5274
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5275
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5276
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5277
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5278
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5279
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5281
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5282
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5283
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5287
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5289
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
5291
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5292
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5294
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5295
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5297
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5298
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5300
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5302
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5303
(John Arbash Meinel)
5305
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5306
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5308
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5309
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5312
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5313
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5315
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5316
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5318
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5319
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5320
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5321
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5323
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5324
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5326
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5328
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5329
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5331
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5333
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5335
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5336
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5338
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5339
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5341
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5342
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5343
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5345
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5346
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5347
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5349
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5350
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5352
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5353
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5355
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5356
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5358
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5359
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5361
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5362
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5364
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5365
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5366
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5368
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5370
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5371
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5375
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5376
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5377
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5379
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5380
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5382
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5383
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5384
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5386
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5387
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5389
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5390
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5393
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5394
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5395
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5397
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5398
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5399
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5401
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5402
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5403
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5405
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5406
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5407
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5409
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5410
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5411
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5413
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5414
instead. (Robert Collins)
5416
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
5418
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
5419
---------------------
5423
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
5425
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
5426
---------------------
5430
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
5431
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
5433
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
5434
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5436
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
5437
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
5438
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
5442
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
5444
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
5445
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
5447
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
5451
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
5452
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5453
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5454
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5458
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5459
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5460
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5464
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5465
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5466
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5470
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5471
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5476
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5478
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5479
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5480
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5481
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5482
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5483
will keep the same format.
5485
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5486
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5487
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5488
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5489
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5491
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5492
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5493
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5494
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5495
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5496
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5497
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5499
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5500
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5501
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5502
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5503
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5505
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5506
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5507
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5513
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5514
convention. Paths now take the form::
5516
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5518
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5520
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5521
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5523
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5524
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5525
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5527
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5528
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5529
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5530
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5532
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5533
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5534
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5536
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5538
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5540
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5541
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5544
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5545
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5548
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5550
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5551
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5552
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5555
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5557
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5559
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5562
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5563
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5565
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5566
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5569
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5570
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5573
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5575
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5577
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5578
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5580
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5581
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5582
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5583
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5584
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5585
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5587
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5589
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5590
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5593
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5594
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5596
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5597
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5599
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5601
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5602
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5603
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5604
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5605
specification by Martin Pool.
5606
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5608
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5611
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5612
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5614
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5615
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5616
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5618
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5620
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5621
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5626
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5627
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5629
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5631
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5633
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5636
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5637
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5638
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5639
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5643
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5644
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5645
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5646
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5648
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5649
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5650
tried. (Martin Pool)
5652
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5655
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5657
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5658
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5659
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5661
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5662
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5664
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5665
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5666
paths. (Robert Collins)
5668
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5669
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5670
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5672
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5673
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5674
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5676
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5677
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5678
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5680
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5683
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5686
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5688
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5690
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5691
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5692
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5695
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5696
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5698
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5699
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5700
check. (Robert Collins)
5702
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5703
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5707
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5708
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5710
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5711
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5712
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5713
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5715
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5716
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5717
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5718
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5719
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5721
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5722
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5723
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5725
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5727
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5728
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5735
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5736
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5738
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5739
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5740
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5743
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5744
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5746
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5747
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5748
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5749
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5750
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5752
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5753
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5754
used. (Robert Collins)
5756
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5757
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5760
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5761
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5762
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5764
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5767
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5768
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5772
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5773
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5775
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5777
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5779
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5780
tree. (Robert Collins)
5782
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5783
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5784
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5787
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5790
* Tweaks to short log printing
5792
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5795
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5796
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5798
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5799
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5801
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5802
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5804
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5805
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5806
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5808
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5809
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5811
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5812
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5815
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5816
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5818
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5819
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5821
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5822
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5824
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5827
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5828
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5830
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5831
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5833
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5834
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5835
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5839
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5841
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5843
* Error when run with -OO
5845
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5848
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5850
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5852
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5853
ignored by diff and status
5855
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5856
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5858
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5860
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5862
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5863
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5865
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5866
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5868
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5871
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5872
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5874
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5876
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5877
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5879
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5882
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5883
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5885
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5889
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5890
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5892
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5894
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5896
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5898
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5899
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5900
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5902
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5904
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5905
(John Arbash Meinel)
5907
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5909
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5910
If adding a new test script please add that to
5911
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5913
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5914
imported. (Martin Pool)
5916
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5917
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5918
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5919
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5920
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5923
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5924
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5925
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5927
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5928
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5929
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5931
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5932
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5933
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5934
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5935
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5938
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5939
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5944
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5945
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5947
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5948
function. (Robert Collins)
5950
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5951
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5952
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5954
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5955
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5958
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5959
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5960
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5961
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5962
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5963
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5964
version. (Robert Collins)
5966
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5967
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5969
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5970
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5971
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5972
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5973
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5974
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5976
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5979
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5989
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5991
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5993
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5996
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5997
query method. (Robert Collins)
5999
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
6002
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
6005
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
6008
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
6009
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
6010
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
6011
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
6013
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
6014
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
6015
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
6016
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
6018
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
6019
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
6026
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
6029
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
6033
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
6034
a separator, not ':'.
6037
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
6038
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
6039
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
6041
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
6042
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
6045
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
6046
has been added that suppresses all output.
6048
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
6051
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
6052
Goffredo Baroncelli.
6054
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
6055
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
6057
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
6058
a revision. (Robert Collins)
6060
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
6061
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
6062
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
6063
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
6065
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
6067
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
6068
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
6070
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
6071
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
6073
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
6074
output directory, if one was supplied.
6076
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
6077
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
6078
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
6079
parameters. (Robert Collins)
6081
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
6083
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
6084
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
6086
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
6087
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
6088
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
6090
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
6091
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
6093
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
6096
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
6098
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
6102
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
6103
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
6104
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
6106
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
6107
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
6108
related questions. (Robert Collins)
6110
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
6111
is given. (Martin Pool)
6113
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
6114
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
6115
file. (Robert Collins)
6117
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
6122
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
6123
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
6124
representation. (Martin Pool).
6126
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
6127
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
6128
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
6130
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6133
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
6134
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
6137
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
6138
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
6139
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
6140
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
6141
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
6143
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
6144
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
6145
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
6146
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
6147
python path. (Robert Collins)
6149
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
6150
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
6151
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
6152
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
6154
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
6155
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
6157
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
6158
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
6161
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
6162
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
6163
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
6165
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
6166
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
6167
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
6169
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6170
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6172
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
6173
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
6174
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
6177
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
6178
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
6179
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
6180
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
6183
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
6186
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
6187
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
6190
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
6191
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
6192
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
6194
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6195
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
6196
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
6198
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
6199
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
6200
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
6202
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
6203
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
6205
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
6206
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
6207
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
6208
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
6209
caller. (Robert Collins)
6211
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
6212
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
6215
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
6216
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
6219
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
6221
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
6222
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
6226
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
6227
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
6229
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
6230
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
6233
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
6234
--------------------
6238
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
6239
allow directories to be listed.
6241
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
6242
upgrading branch format.
6246
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
6254
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
6255
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
6256
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
6257
high-latency connections.
6261
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
6264
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
6265
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
6267
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
6268
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
6269
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
6270
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6272
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
6273
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
6275
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
6276
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
6278
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
6279
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
6280
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6282
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
6283
for files with only a change to their executable status.
6284
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
6287
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
6288
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
6290
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
6291
different partial views of history.
6293
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
6294
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
6298
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6299
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
6300
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6302
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
6303
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
6306
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
6307
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
6309
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
6312
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
6313
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
6315
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
6316
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
6317
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
6318
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
6320
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
6322
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
6323
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
6326
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
6327
Contributed by Robert Collins.
6329
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
6330
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
6331
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
6336
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
6337
for your viewing pleasure.
6339
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
6340
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
6342
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
6343
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6344
handling of such circumstances.
6346
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6347
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6348
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6350
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6352
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6353
we call them revisions not patches.
6355
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6356
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6358
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6359
giving the revision *of that file*.
6361
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6362
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6363
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
6367
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
6368
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
6370
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
6371
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
6374
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
6375
--------------------
6379
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
6381
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
6384
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
6386
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6388
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6389
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6393
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6394
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6396
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6397
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6398
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6399
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6402
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6403
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6407
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6409
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6410
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6413
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6414
--------------------
6418
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6419
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6420
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6421
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6424
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6427
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6428
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6429
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6430
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6431
for the operating system is still tried.
6433
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6434
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6435
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6440
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6444
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6446
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6449
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6455
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6457
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6460
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6461
--------------------
6465
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6466
help with intelligent shell completion.
6468
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6473
* Much better merge support.
6475
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6476
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6482
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6483
mention revisions that are not present.
6485
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6487
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6489
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6490
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6495
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6497
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6498
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6504
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6505
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6510
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6511
--------------------
6515
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6516
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6518
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6520
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6521
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6523
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6526
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6528
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6531
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6532
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6534
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6535
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6536
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6541
* Faster working tree operations.
6546
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6547
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6548
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6549
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6551
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6552
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6553
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6554
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6555
standard plugins directory.
6557
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6558
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6559
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6560
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6562
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6563
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6565
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6568
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6569
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6570
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6572
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6573
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6575
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6576
line options must come before the command name because they
6577
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6578
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6581
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6583
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6584
is available with ``--short``.
6589
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6592
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6593
---------------------
6597
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6598
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6600
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6601
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6602
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6603
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6605
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6606
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6607
with the ``--forward`` option.
6609
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6610
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6616
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6617
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6619
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6621
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6622
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6624
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6626
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6627
either read or write mode.
6629
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6631
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6634
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6636
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6637
suggested by LarstiQ.
6639
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6640
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6642
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6645
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6646
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6648
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6649
haven't changed since the previous time.
6651
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6652
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6654
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6656
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6658
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6659
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6661
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6662
options through to an external GNU diff.
6664
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6667
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6673
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6674
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6676
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6682
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6683
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6686
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6687
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6689
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6690
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6692
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6693
under a different version.
6695
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6700
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6702
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6703
Scott James Remnant.
6705
* Better help messages for many commands.
6707
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6708
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6710
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6711
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6713
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6715
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6717
* New AtomicFile class.
6719
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6724
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6725
2.4 is now only recommended.
6728
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6729
---------------------
6733
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6734
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6736
* More default ignore patterns.
6738
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6739
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6741
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6743
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6746
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6751
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6752
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6753
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6754
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6755
there are DNS problems.
6757
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6762
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6764
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6766
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6767
trailing newlines properly.
6772
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6775
* More tests in test.sh.
6777
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6778
directory and delete it when done.
6780
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6785
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6788
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6792
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6793
---------------------
6797
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6800
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6802
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6805
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6808
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6810
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6814
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6815
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6820
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6821
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6826
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6830
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6838
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
6841
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6842
-----------------------------------
6846
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6848
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6849
rather than replacing it.
6851
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6855
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6858
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6859
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6861
* Performance improvements.
6863
* New global --profile option.
6865
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6866
the root directory only.
6869
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6870
---------------------
6874
* More information from info command.
6876
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6878
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6879
committing to stores.
6881
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6885
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6889
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6890
installation easier.
6892
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6896
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22

* Tweak an RPC implementation for ``Repository.get_parent_map``, it was
97
doing an inefficient ``small_set.difference_update(large_set)`` when we
98
can do ``small_set = small_set.difference(large_set)``. This speeds up
99
discovery time by about 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
104
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
105
or undesirable results.
107
* Accept some differences for ``bound_location`` from the config files that
108
were leading to a 'ReadOnlyError: A write attempt was made in a read only
109
transaction' error. (Vincent Ladeuil, #786980)
111
* Don't fail with traceback if `bzr serve` is running as a service on Windows,
112
and there is no USERNAME, nor BZR_EMAIL or other whoami-related environment
113
variables set. (Alexander Belchenko, Bug #660174)
118
.. Improved or updated documentation.
120
* Updated the "Using stacked branches" section of the user guide to
121
describe committing to stacked branches and expanded its discussion of
122
pushing a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
127
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
133
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
134
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
139
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
140
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
141
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
143
* Remove the deprecation decorators for ``failUnlessExists`` and
144
``failIfExists``. The deprecation "will" occur in 2.4, not
145
before. Providing the wrappers is enough as far as 2.3 is concerned.
146
(Vincent Ladeuil #794960)
153
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
156
This fixed a bug in the test suite triggered by python-2.7 deprecating some
162
* Stop using `failIf`, `failUnless`, `failIfEqual`, etc, that give
163
`PendingDeprecationWarnings` on Python2.7.
164
(Martin Pool, #760435)
172
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
175
This was never released due to bug #760435 interrupting the release process by
176
breaking the test suite under python-2.7 on natty.

External Compatibility Breaks
179
*****************************
191
* Getting all entries from ``CHKInventory.iter_entries_by_dir()`` has been
192
sped up dramatically for large trees. Iterating by dir is not the best
193
way to load data from a CHK inventory, so it preloads all the items in
194
the correct order. (With the gcc-tree, this changes it (re)reading 8GB
195
of CHK data, down to just 150MB.) This has noticeable affects for things
196
like building checkouts, etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #737234)
201
* Bazaar now infers the default user email address on Unix from the local
202
account name plus the contents of ``/etc/mailname`` if that file exists.
203
In particular, this means that committing as root through etckeeper will
204
normally not require running ``bzr whoami`` first.
205
(Martin Pool, #616878)
207
* ``bzr merge --preview --pull`` should respect the ``--preview`` option
208
first, and not actually change the branch tip revision.
209
(John Arbash Meinel, Dennis Duchier, #760152)
211
* ``bzr push`` into a repository (that doesn't have a branch), will no
212
longer copy all revisions in the repository. Only the ones in the
213
ancestry of the source branch, like it does in all other cases.
214
(John Arbash Meinel, #465517)
216
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
217
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
218
(Martin Pool, #733136)
220
* Fix "Unable to obtain lock" error when pushing to a bound branch if tags
221
had changed. Bazaar was attempting to open and lock the master branch
222
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)
224
* Standalone bzr.exe installation on Windows: user can put additional python
225
libraries into ``site-packages`` subdirectory of the installation directory,
226
this might be required for "installing" extra dependencies for some plugins.
227
(Alexander Belchenko, #743256)
229
* When reporting a crash without apport, don't print the full list of
230
plugins because it's often too long.
231
(Martin Pool, #716389)
242
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
243
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
244
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
245
has been added in the interim
246
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed
247
in python > 2.7.1). (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
254
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
260
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
261
or undesirable results.
263
* Correctly resolve text conflicts for files in subdirs.
264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #715058)
266
* Fix "AssertionError: repository.user_url ... does not match URL from
267
server response" when reusing a smart transport.
268
(Andrew Bennetts, #726584)
270
* Restore proper logging of bytes transferred. We accidentally reset the
271
counter when commands finished before we logged the total transferred.
272
(John Arbash Meinel, #713258)
279
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we
280
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it
281
until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1
282
and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned
283
to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.)
285
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number
286
of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have
287
been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related
288
branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better
291
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all
292
known fixed bugs are included here.
294
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
301
This is the fifth and **last** beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
302
release in February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause
303
some incompatibilities with plugins.
305
2.3b5 includes bug fixes for committing to stacked branches, smoother upgrades
306
of multiple branches, compatibility with python-2.7, full test suite passing
307
on Ubuntu Natty and windows, less round-trips for several smart server
308
operations, better support text conflicts resolve actions and some more.
310
All known fixed bugs in other series (2.0, 2.1, 2.2) are also included here.
312
External Compatibility Breaks
313
*****************************
320
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
321
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
322
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
323
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
325
* ``ControlDir.sprout`` no longer opens the target repository more than
326
once. This avoids some unnecessary IO, and removes a network roundtrip
327
when doing ``bzr branch`` to a smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts)
329
* ``bzr modified`` now read-locks the working tree (and branch and
330
repository) just once. (Andrew Bennetts)
332
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
333
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
334
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
335
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
337
* ``bzr tags``'s "sort" argument now allows registering custom sort
338
methods using the ``bzrlib.tag.tag_sort_methods`` registry.
339
(Jelmer Vernooij, #701244)
341
* ``bt.test_http`` was breaking ``os.environ`` by erasing the values saved by
342
``TestCase`` leading to ``bt.test_import_tariff`` failures.
343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
345
* ``upgrade`` now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is
346
specified. It also supports new options: ``--dry-run`` for showing what
347
will happen and ``--clean`` to remove the backup directory on successful
348
completion. (Ian Clatworthy, Matthew Fuller, #89830, #374734, #422450)
353
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
354
or undesirable results.
356
* Avoid leaking SSH subprocess communication socket into unrelated child
357
processes, which could cause bzr to hang on exit. (Max Bowsher, #696285)
359
* ``bzr break-lock`` on a corrupted lock file works correctly, rather than
360
raising a PermissionDenied error. We were accidentally holding open the
361
file we were trying to delete. (John Arbash Meinel, #659978)
363
* ``bzr update`` in a checkout of a readonly branch works again, without
364
trying to set the tags in the master branch. This had been broken by the
365
bug fix for bug #603395. (John Arbash Meinel, #701212)
367
* Per-transport tests now prefer to use ``Transport.get_bytes()`` rather
368
than ``Transport.get().read()``. The SFTP code uses an async message to
369
close the file handle if you let the handle die from refcounting, while
370
it uses a synchronous message if you close it directly. This should help
371
prevent random test suite failures from race conditions.
372
(John Arbash Meinel, #681047)
374
* Stop using ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile``. It is incompatible with
375
python-2.7 and was only used for Knit format repositories, which haven't
376
been recommended since 2007. The file itself will be removed in the next
377
release. (John Arbash Meinel)
379
* The BZR_COLUMNS environment variable can be set to 0 to indicate no
380
limitation on the width of the terminal. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #675652)
382
* Treat WSAECONNABORTED the same as WSAECONNRESET for the purposes of
383
considering a smart data stream as being interrupted. This fixes a
384
failure in the windows test suite, that was trying to ensure we cleanly
385
handled a server disconnect. (John Arbash Meinel, #581311, #686587)
387
* Unshelving changes that occur in a now-unversioned directory now restore
388
the directory properly rather than crashing.
389
(John Arbash Meinel, #389674)
391
* You are now able to commit directly to a stacked branch. Any needed
392
parent inventories will be filled in as part of the commit process.
393
(John Arbash Meinel, #375013)
398
* Better document the rules to update the bzr freshmeat page when
399
doing a release. (Vincent Ladeuil, #690515)
404
* ``Branch.sprout``, ``BranchFormat.initalize`` and
405
``ControlDir.create_branch`` now take an optional ``repository`` keyword
406
argument, and ``BranchFormat.open`` now takes an optional
407
``found_repository`` keyword argument. These provide the repository
408
object for new branch object to use (for cases when the caller has
409
already opened that repository). Implementations of these APIs will
410
need to be updated to accept these arguments. (Andrew Bennetts)
412
* ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.GzipFile`` is now deprecated and will be removed in
413
the bzr-2.4 series. Code that was using it can just use the python
414
stdlib ``gzip.GzipFile``. (John Arbash Meinel)
420
* ``bzrlib.tests`` defines ``isolated_environ`` with the definitions of all
421
the environment variables the tests should care about. It also defines
422
``override_os_environ`` and ``restore_os_environ`` to properly implement
423
isolation from ``os.environ`` for tests. ``bzrlib.tests`` now defines a
424
``DocTestSuite`` class using this facility for all ``bzrlib``
425
doctests. (Vincent Ladeuil, #321320)
427
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
428
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
430
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
433
* ``test_onto_transport`` in the Launchpad plugin can now run with Python
434
2.7. (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
436
* ``TestCase._captureVar`` and ``TestCase._old_env`` have been deleted due to
437
bug #690563. Test writers are encouraged to use ``TestCase.overrideEnv``
438
instead. (Vincent Ladeuil)
440
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
441
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684662)
448
This is the fourth beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0 release in
449
February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
450
incompatibilities with plugins.
452
2.3b4 includes bug fixes for the ``config`` command and conflict
453
resolution. More changes were made for the test scripts handling to make it
454
easier to add reproducing recipes to bugs.
456
It also includes bug fixes from the 2.2.2 release as well as the bug fixes
457
in the upcoming 2.0.7, 2.1.4 and 2.2.3 releases. This means that all known
458
fixed bugs at the time of this release are included.
461
External Compatibility Breaks
462
*****************************
469
* Bazaar now caches a branch's tags while that branch is read-locked.
470
This removes 1 network roundtrip from most interactions with a remote
471
branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
473
* ``bzr config <option>`` will now display only the value itself so scripts
474
can use it to query the currently active configuration. Displaying several
475
options matching a given regular expression is now controlled via the
476
``--all`` option. (Vincent Ladeuil, bug #670251)
478
* ``bzr resolve`` now reports the number of conflicts resolved and the
479
number of remaining conflicts. This provides a better feedback about the
480
whole resolution process. (Vincent Ladeuil)
482
* Read configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bazaar on Unix if there is
483
already a directory there. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #195397)
488
* Better message if there is an error while setting ownership of
489
``.bazaar`` directory. (Parth Malwankar, #657553)
491
* ``bzr config`` properly displays list values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #672382)
493
* ``bzr config`` will now respect option policies when displaying the value
494
and display the definition sections when appropriate.
495
(Vincent Ladeuil, #671050)
497
* Don't create commit message files in the current directory to avoid nasty
498
interactions with emacs (which tries to establish the status of the file
499
during the commit which breaks on windows). (Vincent Ladeuil, #673637)
501
* ``bzr resolve --take-other <file>`` will not crash anymore if ``<file>``
502
is involved in a text conflict (but the conflict is still not
503
resolved). (Vincent Ladeuil, #646961)
505
* Merge will now correctly locate a lca where there is a criss-cross merge
506
of a new root. (Gary van der Merwe, #588698)
508
* Report error if non-ASCII command option given. (Rory Yorke, #140563)
510
* ``tools/check-newsbug.py`` is now based on ``lp:hydrazine`` and no longer
511
crashes when encountering private bugs (they are just displayed as such).
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #354985)
517
* ``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts parent_ids == [].
518
This can be used to create a new root in the graph. (Gary van der Merwe)
520
* Old repository development formats
521
RepositoryFormatCHK1 and RepositoryFormatCHK2 have been removed, and so
522
have the corresponding metadir format options ``development-rich-root``,
523
``development6-rich-root``, and ``development7-rich-root``.
528
* Add a null_output_matches_anything keyword argument with default False to
529
bzrlib.tests.script.ScriptRunner.run_script to specify that the command
530
output should not be checked (as opposed to expecting an empty output).
531
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #662509)
533
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
534
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
535
(Martin Pool, #637830)
537
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
538
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
539
written. (Martin [gz])
541
* Introduce an ``overrideEnv()`` helper for tests that needs to change the
542
environment variables while respecting the isolation rules. Get rid of
543
TestCase._restoreEnvironment which is now useless.
544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #690563)
546
* Printing selftest results to a non-UTF-8 console will now escape characters
547
that can't be encoded rather than aborting the test run with an exception.
548
(Martin [gz], #633216)
556
External Compatibility Breaks
557
*****************************
564
* Add --no-tree option to 'bzr push' and 'bzr init' for creating a
565
new or mirrored branch without working trees.
566
(Matthew Gordon, #506730)
568
* ``bzr config`` is a new command that displays the configuration options for
569
a given directory. It accepts a glob to match against multiple options at
570
once. It can also be used to set or delete a configuration option in any
571
configuration file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
573
* New shortcut URL schemes ``ubuntu:`` and ``debianlp:`` access source
574
branches on Launchpad. E.g. ``bzr branch ubuntu:foo`` gives you the source
575
branch for project ``foo`` in the current distroseries for Ubuntu while
576
``bzr branch debianlp:lenny/foo`` gives you the source branch (on Launchpad)
577
for project ``foo`` in Debian Lenny.
578
(Barry Warsaw, #609186)
580
* Provide a configuration option "default_format" that controls the
581
default format for new branches created with ``bzr init``.
582
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #484101)
587
* Always set PATH in start_bzr.bat on Windows. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #470264)
589
* ``bzr status -r X..Y`` was failing because RevisionTree didn't implement
590
``get_shelf_manager``. (John Arbash Meinel, #662053)
592
* Correctly add directory contents when the name was previously added as a
593
normal file, rather than throwing ``AttributeError: children`` during
594
smart_add. (Martin [gz], #251864)
596
* Correctly handle the ``--directory`` option for all code paths of
597
``resolve`` and ``shelve``, this was previously ignored when paths were
598
provided as parameters. When both are provided, ``--directory`` becomes
599
the base directory for the other paths. (Vincent Ladeuil, #670851)
601
* Correctly set the Content-Type header when HTTP POSTing to comply
602
with stricter web frameworks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #665100)
604
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
605
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
607
* Fix ``KeyError: 'port'`` when getting the stored password for an HTTP URL.
608
(Martin Pool, #654684)
610
* Make ``bzr tag --quiet`` really quiet. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #239523)
612
* Missing files (files bzr add'ed and then OS deleted) are now shown in ``bzr
613
status`` output. (Rory Yorke, #134168)
615
* ``NotBranchError`` no longer allows errors from calling
616
``bzrdir.open_repository()`` to propagate. This is unhelpful at best,
617
and at worst can trigger infinite loops in callers. (Andrew Bennetts)
619
* The ``branch.tags.merge_to(target_branch)`` API used by plugins such as
620
``bzr-builddeb`` now propagates changes to the master branch of the
621
target branch (if there is one). This makes it consistent with the
622
other tag APIs. (Andrew Bennetts, #603395)
624
* Windows installers no longer requires the Microsoft vcredist to be
625
installed. (Martin [gz], Gary van der Merwe, #632465)
630
* Add documentation of the ability to edit hunks when shelving.
631
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #517660)
633
* Be more specific about the meaning of revision ranges for ``bzr diff``.
634
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #247282)
636
* Document the comment character in the .bzrignore file, including a
637
workaround for ignore patterns that begin with #.
638
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #631515)
643
* Add ``bzrlib.pyutils`` module with helper functions for some Python
644
tasks such as resolving a dotted name to a Python object
645
(``get_named_object``). (Andrew Bennetts)
647
* ``bzrlib.tests.ForwardingResult`` no longer exists. Use
648
``testtools.ExtendedToOriginalDecorator`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
650
* ``known_hooks_key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in ``bzrlib.hooks`` has been
651
deprecated in favour of ``known_hooks.key_to_parent_and_attribute`` in
652
the same module. (Andrew Bennetts)
657
* ``tools/fixed-in.py`` find a bug in NEWS from its number or a regexp
658
matching the news entry and display the corresponding release, date, fix
659
authors and the news entry itself. (Vincent Ladeuil)
664
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
665
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
666
(Martin Pool, #637830)
668
* ``bzr test-script script`` is a new command that runs a shell-like script
669
from an the ``script`` file. (Vincent Ladeuil)
671
* Fix spurious test failures on babune related to the http pipe cleanup and
672
get rid of some 'bytes left on the HTTP socket' useless log messages.
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #655557)
675
* ``bzrlib.tests.per_workingtree.TestCaseWithWorkingTree.make_branch_builder``
676
respects its ``relpath`` parameter. (Vincent Ladeuil)
683
External Compatibility Breaks
684
*****************************
686
* The ``bzr tags`` command sorts tag names using a natural sort by
687
default (so tag2 sorts before tag10). The previous default was
688
strictly "asciibetical". That behavior is still available as ``bzr tags
689
--sort=alpha``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #640760)
691
* ``BzrDir.generate_backup_name`` has been deprecated and replaced by a
692
private method. ``osutils.available_backup_name`` provides an extensible
693
replacement. This allowed the deprecation of
694
``bzrlib.transform.get_backup_name``,
695
``bzrlib.transform._get_backup_name`` and
696
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.has_named_child``.
702
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
703
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
705
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
706
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
708
* Add ``-Dmem_dump`` debug flag, which uses meliae to dump memory to
709
a file upon an out of memory error.
710
(Karl Bielefeldt, #551391)
712
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
713
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
715
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
717
* GNU lsh is now a supported lsh client; just set BZR_SSH to 'lsh'.
718
Also, bzr will recognize if the 'ssh' comand is a symlink to lsh.
719
(Matthew Gordon, #374700)
721
* The ``pull`` and ``update`` commands now take a ``--show-base``
722
option that, in the case of conflicts, shows the base revision text.
723
(Rory Yorke, #202374)
728
* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
729
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
730
(Martin Pool, #397315)
732
* ``bzr remove`` now takes a ``--no-backup`` option for when you don't want it
733
to backup anything, just delete it. This option used to be called ``--force``
734
which is now deprecated.
735
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
737
* When using the pycurl client module, Bazaar shows some of the text from
738
HTTP server error messages.
739
(Martin Pool, #656667)
744
* Don't force openssh to use protocol=2, since that is now the default.
745
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #561061)
747
* Fix signature of RemoteBzrDir.create_workingtree to match that of its
748
superclass. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Martin Pool, #524627)
750
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
751
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
753
* Print junk rather than throwing a UnicodeDecodeError from ``bzr version-info``
754
when using the rio format (with non-ascii information) on a non-utf-8
755
terminal. (Andrej A Antonov, #518609)
757
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
758
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
760
* ``unshelve --preview`` now can show diff in a non-ascii encoding.
761
(Andrej A Antonov, #518916)
763
* Deleting a versioned directory can leave orphans: unversioned files that
764
were present don't have a parent anymore. The
765
``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option controls the ``bzr``
766
behaviour: ``conflict`` (the default) leave the orphans in place and
767
create a conflict for the directory, ``move`` create orphans named
768
``<file>.~#~`` in a ``bzr-orphans`` directory at the root of the working
769
tree. (Vincent Ladeuil, #323111)
777
* Correct the documentation for setting up the smart server with Apache.
778
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #311518)
780
* Fix rst typos in bzrlib/help_topics/en/conflict-types.txt.
781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #660943)
783
* Provide more detailed help on the Launchpad plugin at "bzr help
784
plugins/launchpad". (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #589379)
786
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
787
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
792
* ``WorkingTree`` methods ``pull``, ``update``, and ``_update_tree``
793
now have an optional argument, ``show_base``, which is by default
794
False. This is flag is ultimately passed to ``merge.merge_inner``
795
in each case. (Rory Yorke, #202374)
800
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
801
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
803
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
804
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
805
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
810
* Add a new simpler way to generate multiple test variations, by setting
811
the `scenarios` attribute of a test class to a list of scenarios
812
descriptions, then using `load_tests_apply_scenarios`. (See the testing
813
guide and `bzrlib.tests.scenarios`.) Simplify `test_http` using this.
814
(Martin Pool, #597791)
816
* Add ``tests/ssl_certs/ca.crt`` to the required test files list. Test
817
involving the pycurl https test server fail otherwise when running
818
selftest from an installed version. (Vincent Ladeuil, #651706)
820
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
821
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
823
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
824
needed to successfully run the test suite for installed versions.
825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
827
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
830
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
831
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
832
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
834
* Use tests.TestCaseInTempDir for tests that requires disk resources.
835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #650001)
842
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
843
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
844
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
845
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
847
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
848
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
849
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
850
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
851
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
852
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
853
through the 2.3 series.
855
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
859
External Compatibility Breaks
860
*****************************
867
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
868
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
869
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
871
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
872
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
874
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
875
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
876
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
877
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
878
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
880
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
881
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
882
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
883
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
885
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
886
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
891
* Allow using both ``--using`` and ``--diff-options``.
892
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
894
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
895
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
897
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
898
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
899
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
900
will be backed up (adding an extension of the form .~#~).
901
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
903
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
904
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
907
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
908
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
909
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
910
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
911
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
914
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
915
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
916
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
917
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
918
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
920
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
921
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
922
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
924
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
925
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
926
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
928
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text when writing to pack
930
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
932
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
933
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
934
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
935
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
936
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
937
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
939
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
940
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
941
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
946
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
947
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
948
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
950
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
951
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
952
marked versioned too.
953
(Martin Pool, #192859)
955
* ``bzr clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
956
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
957
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
959
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
960
target of the symlink.
961
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
963
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
964
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
966
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
968
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
969
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
970
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
972
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
973
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
975
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
976
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
979
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
980
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
982
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
983
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
985
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
986
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
988
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
989
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
991
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
992
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
994
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
995
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
996
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
998
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
999
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
1001
* Errors occurring during HTTP(S) test server starts should now be
1002
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
1004
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1005
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1006
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1008
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
1009
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
1010
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
1011
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
1013
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
1014
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
1016
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1017
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1018
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1020
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
1021
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
1022
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
1023
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
1025
* Fix a problem in bzr's ``Makefile`` that meant syntax errors in some
1026
parts of bzr's source code could cause ``make check-nodocs`` to
1027
incorrectly return an exit code of 0.
1028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
1030
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
1031
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
1033
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
1034
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
1035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
1037
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
1038
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
1039
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
1040
(Martin [gz], #631350)
1042
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
1043
(Martin Pool, #98735)
1045
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1046
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1047
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1048
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1050
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1051
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1053
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1054
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1055
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1056
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1057
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1059
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1060
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1061
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1062
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1064
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
1065
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
1066
(Martin [gz], #254278)
1068
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
1069
users to attach to their own processes by default.
1070
(Martin Pool, #626679)
1072
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
1073
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
1074
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
1076
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
1077
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
1080
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
1081
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
1082
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
1083
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
1088
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
1089
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
1090
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
1092
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
1093
to make the tests conditional.
1096
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
1097
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
1098
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
1103
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1104
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1105
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1106
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1108
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
1109
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
1110
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
1113
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
1114
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
1116
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
1118
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
1119
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
1120
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
1121
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
1122
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
1124
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
1125
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
1127
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
1128
`bzrlib.controldir`.
1132
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
1133
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
1134
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
1135
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1137
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
1138
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
1139
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
1140
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
1141
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1143
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
1144
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
1145
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
1146
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
1149
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
1150
relative change in revno.
1153
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
1157
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
1158
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
1159
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1161
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
1162
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
1163
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
1164
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
1165
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
1166
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
1167
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
1168
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
1170
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
1171
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
1173
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
1174
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
1177
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
1178
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
1184
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
1190
* Avoid spurious failures in ssh tests: wait for the SSH server to
1191
actually finish, rather than just waiting for it to negotiate the key
1192
exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
1194
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
1195
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1197
* Catch socket errors to avoid
1198
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
1199
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
1201
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
1202
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
1204
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
1205
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
1207
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
1208
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
1210
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
1211
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
1212
macrobenchmark suite.
1215
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
1216
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
1219
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
1220
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
1221
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
1222
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
1223
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
1224
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
1225
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1227
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
1228
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
1229
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
1230
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
