5
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6
tree from some other url. For example:
7
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
12
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
13
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
18
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
19
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
21
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
23
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
24
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
26
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
27
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
29
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
30
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
31
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
32
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
34
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
35
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
36
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
38
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
39
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
41
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
42
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
43
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
44
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
45
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
51
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
52
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
55
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
59
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
60
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
61
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
62
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
64
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
65
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
67
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
69
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
70
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
71
server, then you can write over the http connection.
74
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
75
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
76
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
77
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
79
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
80
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
81
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
82
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
87
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
88
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
92
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
93
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
94
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
96
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
97
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
100
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
101
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
102
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
104
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
105
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
108
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
109
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
110
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
112
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
113
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
114
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
115
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
116
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
117
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
119
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
120
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
121
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
124
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
125
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
129
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
130
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
131
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
134
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
135
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
137
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
138
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
139
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
141
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
142
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
144
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
145
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
146
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
147
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
149
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
150
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
152
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
153
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
154
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
156
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
157
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
159
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
161
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
162
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
167
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
168
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
169
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
170
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
172
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
173
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
174
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
178
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
180
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
184
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
186
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
189
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
193
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
194
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
195
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
196
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
197
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
198
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
199
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
201
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
202
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
203
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
205
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
207
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
208
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
210
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
211
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
212
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
215
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
216
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
217
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
220
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
221
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
222
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
223
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
226
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
227
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
228
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
233
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
234
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
236
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
238
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
239
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
240
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
242
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
243
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
245
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
246
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
248
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
251
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
252
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
254
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
256
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
257
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
259
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
260
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
262
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
263
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
265
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
268
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
269
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
270
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
272
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
273
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
275
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
276
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
277
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
278
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
280
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
281
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
282
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
284
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
285
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
289
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
293
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
294
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
297
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
298
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
299
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
300
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
302
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
305
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
306
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
307
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
309
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
310
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
312
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
313
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
314
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
316
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
317
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
318
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
319
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
320
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
321
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
322
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
323
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
326
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
327
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
329
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
330
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
332
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
333
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
334
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
335
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
336
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
337
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
338
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
340
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
341
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
342
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
343
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
344
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
345
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
346
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
347
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
350
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
351
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
352
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
354
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
355
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
357
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
358
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
360
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
361
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
365
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
366
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
368
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
369
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
372
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
373
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
374
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
379
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
380
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
382
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
383
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
384
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
385
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
386
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
388
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
389
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
390
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
392
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
393
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
395
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
396
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
397
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
401
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
403
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
404
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
405
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
407
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
409
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
411
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
412
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
413
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
414
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
416
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
417
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
418
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
419
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
420
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
422
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
423
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
425
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
426
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
428
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
429
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
431
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
432
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
435
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
436
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
440
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
441
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
442
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
443
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
446
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
447
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
448
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
454
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
455
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
456
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
457
specific one '.bzrignore'.
458
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
459
a more conservative list than the old default.
460
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
461
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
462
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
463
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
465
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
466
to more locations than just branch locations.
471
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
472
revno:N:branch. For example,
473
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
474
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
476
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
477
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
478
the path of a file that has been versioned.
479
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
480
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
481
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
482
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
483
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
486
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
487
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
488
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
491
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
492
(Alexander Belchenko)
494
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
496
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
499
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
500
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
501
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
502
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
503
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
506
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
507
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
508
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
509
grained analysis of performance.
510
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
512
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
513
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
515
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
516
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
517
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
518
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
519
file. (Robert Collins).
521
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
522
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
523
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
525
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
526
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
529
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
530
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
532
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
533
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
534
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
535
the same way you would apply another branch.
536
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
538
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
539
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
541
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
544
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
547
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
548
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
549
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
551
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
552
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
553
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
555
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
556
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
558
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
559
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
560
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
561
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
562
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
564
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
565
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
567
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
568
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
569
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
570
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
571
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
572
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
573
branch is as much as 4x faster.
574
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
576
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
577
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
578
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
582
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
583
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
586
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
587
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
589
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
590
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
592
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
593
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
595
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
597
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
600
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
601
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
603
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
604
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
607
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
608
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
610
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
611
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
613
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
614
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
615
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
616
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
618
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
619
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
621
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
623
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
624
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
626
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
628
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
630
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
631
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
633
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
634
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
636
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
637
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
638
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
640
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
641
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
642
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
644
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
645
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
647
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
648
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
650
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
651
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
653
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
654
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
656
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
657
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
659
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
660
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
661
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
663
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
665
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
666
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
670
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
671
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
672
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
674
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
675
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
677
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
678
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
679
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
681
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
682
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
684
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
685
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
688
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
689
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
690
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
692
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
693
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
694
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
696
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
697
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
698
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
700
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
701
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
702
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
704
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
705
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
706
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
708
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
709
instead. (Robert Collins)
711
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
717
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
723
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
724
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
726
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
727
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
729
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
730
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
731
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
735
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
737
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
738
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
740
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
744
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
745
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
746
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
747
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
751
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
752
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
753
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
757
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
758
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
759
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
763
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
764
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
768
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
770
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
771
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
772
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
773
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
774
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
775
will keep the same format.
777
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
778
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
779
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
780
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
781
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
783
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
784
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
785
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
786
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
787
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
788
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
789
indicating the current revision of the branch.
791
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
792
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
793
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
794
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
795
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
797
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
798
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
799
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
805
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
806
convention. Paths now take the form:
807
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
809
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
811
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
812
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
814
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
815
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
816
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
818
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
819
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
820
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
821
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
823
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
824
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
827
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
829
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
831
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
832
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
833
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
834
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
837
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
839
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
840
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
841
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
844
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
846
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
848
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
851
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
852
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
854
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
855
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
858
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
859
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
862
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
864
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
866
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
867
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
869
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
870
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
871
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
872
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
873
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
874
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
876
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
878
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
879
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
882
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
883
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
885
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
886
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
888
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
890
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
891
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
892
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
893
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
894
specification by Martin Pool.
895
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
897
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
900
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
901
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
903
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
904
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
905
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
907
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
909
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
910
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
915
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
916
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
918
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
920
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
922
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
925
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
926
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
927
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
928
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
932
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
933
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
934
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
935
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
937
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
938
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
941
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
944
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
946
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
947
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
948
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
950
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
951
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
953
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
954
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
955
paths. (Robert Collins)
957
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
958
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
959
needs. (Robert Collins)
961
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
962
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
963
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
965
* Progress bars are now nested - see
966
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
968
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
971
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
974
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
976
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
978
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
979
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
980
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
983
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
984
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
986
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
987
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
988
check. (Robert Collins)
990
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
991
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
995
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
996
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
998
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
999
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1000
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1001
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1003
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1004
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1005
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1006
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1007
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1009
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1010
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1011
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1013
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1015
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1016
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1022
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1023
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1025
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1026
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1027
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1030
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1031
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1033
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1034
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1035
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1036
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1037
(John Arbash Meinel)
1039
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1040
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1041
used. (Robert Collins)
1043
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1044
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1047
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1048
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1049
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1051
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1054
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1055
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1059
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1060
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1062
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1064
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1066
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1067
tree. (Robert Collins)
1069
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1070
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1071
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1074
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1077
* Tweaks to short log printing
1079
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1082
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1083
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1085
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1086
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1088
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1089
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1091
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1092
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1093
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1095
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1096
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1098
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1099
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1102
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1103
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1105
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1106
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1108
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1109
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1111
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1114
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1115
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1117
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1118
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1120
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1121
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1122
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1126
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1128
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1130
* Error when run with -OO
1132
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1135
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1137
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1139
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1140
ignored by diff and status
1142
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now

* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1147
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1149
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1150
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1152
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1153
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1155
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1158
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1159
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1161
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1163
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1164
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1166
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1169
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1172
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1176
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1177
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1179
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1181
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1183
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1185
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1186
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1187
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1189
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1191
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1192
(John Arbash Meinel)
1194
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1196
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1197
If adding a new test script please add that to
1198
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1200
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1201
imported. (Martin Pool)
1203
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1204
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1205
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1206
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1207
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1210
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1211
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1212
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1214
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1215
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1216
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1218
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1219
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1220
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1221
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1222
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1225
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1226
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1231
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1232
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1234
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1235
function. (Robert Collins)
1237
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1238
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1239
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1241
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1242
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1244
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1245
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1246
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1247
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1248
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1249
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1250
version. (Robert Collins)
1252
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1253
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1255
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1256
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1257
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1258
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1259
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1260
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1262
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1265
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1273
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1275
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1277
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1280
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1281
query method. (Robert Collins)
1283
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1286
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1289
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1293
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1294
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1295
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1296
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1298
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1299
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1300
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1301
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1303
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1304
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1310
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1313
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1317
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1318
a separator, not ':'.
1321
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1322
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1323
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1325
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1326
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1329
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1330
has been added that suppresses all output.
1332
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1335
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1336
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1338
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1339
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1341
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1342
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1344
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1345
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1346
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1347
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1349
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1351
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1352
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1354
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1355
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1357
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1358
output directory, if one was supplied.
1360
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1361
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1362
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1363
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1365
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1367
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1368
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1370
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1371
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1372
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1374
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1375
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1377
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1380
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1382
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1386
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1387
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1388
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1390
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1391
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1392
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1394
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1395
is given. (Martin Pool)
1397
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1398
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1399
file. (Robert Collins)
1401
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1406
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1407
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1408
representation. (Martin Pool).
1410
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1411
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1412
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1414
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1417
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1418
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1421
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1422
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1423
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1424
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1425
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1427
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1428
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1429
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1430
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1431
python path. (Robert Collins)
1433
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1434
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1435
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1436
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1438
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1439
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1441
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1442
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1445
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1446
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1447
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1449
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1450
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1451
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1453
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1454
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1456
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1457
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1458
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1461
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1462
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1463
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1464
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1467
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1470
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1471
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1474
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1475
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1476
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1478
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1479
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1480
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1482
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1483
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1484
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1486
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1487
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1489
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1490
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1491
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1492
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1493
caller. (Robert Collins)
1495
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1496
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1499
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1500
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1502
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1504
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1505
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1509
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1510
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1512
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1513
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1516
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1520
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1521
allow directories to be listed.
1523
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1524
upgrading branch format.
1528
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1535
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1536
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1537
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1538
high-latency connections.
1542
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1545
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1546
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1548
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1549
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1550
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1551
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1553
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1554
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1556
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1557
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1559
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1560
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1561
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1563
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1564
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1565
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1568
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1569
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1571
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1572
different partial views of history.
1574
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1575
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1579
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1580
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1581
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1583
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1584
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1587
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1588
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1590
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1593
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1594
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1596
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1597
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1598
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1599
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1601
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1603
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1604
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1607
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1608
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1610
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1611
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1612
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1617
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1618
for your viewing pleasure.
1620
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1621
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1623
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1624
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1625
handling of such circumstances.
1630
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1631
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1633
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1634
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1637
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1641
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1643
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1646
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1648
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1650
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1651
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1655
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1656
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1658
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1659
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1660
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1661
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1664
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1665
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1669
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1671
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1672
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1675
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1679
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1680
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1681
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1682
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1685
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1688
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1689
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1690
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1691
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1692
for the operating system is still tried.
1694
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1695
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1696
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1701
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1705
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1707
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1710
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1716
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1718
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1721
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1725
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1726
help with intelligent shell completion.
1728
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1733
* Much better merge support.
1735
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1736
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1742
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1743
mention revisions that are not present.
1745
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1747
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1749
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1750
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1755
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1757
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1758
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1764
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1765
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
