* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
10
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
25
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
29
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
30
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
32
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
33
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
34
(James Westby, #122656)
36
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
37
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
39
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
40
authentication header.
41
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
43
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
45
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
46
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
48
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
50
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
51
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
53
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
54
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
55
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
57
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
58
individually and as part of revision ranges.
61
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
62
(Martin Pool, #109169)
64
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
65
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
67
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
68
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
70
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
72
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
76
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
77
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
78
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
79
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
80
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
81
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
83
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
84
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
85
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
87
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
90
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
91
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
93
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
94
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
96
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
97
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
99
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
100
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
101
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
102
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
103
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
105
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
106
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
108
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
109
can be slow it is useful feedback).
110
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
112
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
113
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
115
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
117
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
118
output. (Aaron Bentley)
120
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
121
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
124
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
127
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
128
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
130
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
131
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
133
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
134
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
136
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
138
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
139
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
141
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
161
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
162
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
163
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
166
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
168
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
169
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
170
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
172
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
173
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
175
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
176
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
178
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
180
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
181
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
182
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
183
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
184
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
185
same location. (Robert Collins)
189
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
191
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
193
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
195
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
198
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
201
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
202
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
203
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
205
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
207
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
208
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
209
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
211
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
212
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
214
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
215
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
216
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
218
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
219
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
220
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
222
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
223
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
224
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
226
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
227
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
230
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
231
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
233
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
234
(Alexander Belchenko)
238
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
239
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
240
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
241
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
243
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
244
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
245
testing. (Robert Collins)
247
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
248
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
250
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
251
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
252
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
253
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
254
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
255
attribute during the test parameterisation in
256
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
258
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
259
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
260
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
261
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
263
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
264
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
266
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
267
avoid useless cloning.
268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
275
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
276
(Colin Watson, #120647)
278
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
279
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
284
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
286
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
287
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
288
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
289
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
290
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
291
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
292
and unlock() like so::
294
work_tree.lock_read()
296
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
301
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
302
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
304
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
305
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
306
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
308
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
309
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
310
too. (Robert Collins)
314
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
315
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
318
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
321
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
322
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
324
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
325
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
326
understanding what changes have occurred
327
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
329
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
330
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
331
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
333
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
334
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
335
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
336
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
338
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
343
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
344
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
345
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
346
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
347
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
349
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
350
based on split paths, not just string paths.
351
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
353
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
356
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
360
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
361
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
363
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
364
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
366
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
367
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
369
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
370
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
372
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
373
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
375
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
376
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
377
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
383
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
384
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
385
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
386
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
387
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
389
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
390
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
391
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
393
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
394
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
398
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
399
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
400
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
402
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
403
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
404
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
405
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
407
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
411
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
412
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
413
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
414
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
416
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
417
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
418
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
420
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
421
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
423
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
424
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
426
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
427
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
429
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
431
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
433
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
434
it could be recovered again.
435
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
436
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
437
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
439
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
441
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
442
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
446
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
447
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
449
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
450
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
451
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
452
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
454
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
455
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
457
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
458
tests with names that match that regular expression.
459
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
461
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
462
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
463
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
465
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
466
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
467
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
469
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
470
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
473
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
476
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
477
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
478
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
479
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
481
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
484
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
485
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
486
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
489
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
490
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
492
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
493
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
495
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
496
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
497
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
498
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
501
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
502
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
504
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
505
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
507
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
508
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
509
(Robert Collins, #107125).
511
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
512
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
513
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
515
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
516
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
517
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
519
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
520
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
521
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
522
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
524
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
525
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
526
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
527
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
529
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
530
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
531
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
532
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
533
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
534
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
535
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
536
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
542
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
543
code paths. (Robert Collins)
545
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
546
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
547
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
548
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
549
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
551
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
552
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
554
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
555
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
557
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
558
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
560
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
561
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
563
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
564
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
565
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
568
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
569
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
570
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
571
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
572
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
575
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
576
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
577
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
579
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
580
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
583
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
584
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
585
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
588
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
589
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
590
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
591
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
592
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
594
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
595
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
596
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
597
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
599
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
600
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
602
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
603
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
604
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
605
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
606
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
607
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
609
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
610
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
612
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
613
help. (Robert Collins)
615
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
616
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
618
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
619
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
620
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
621
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
624
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
625
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
626
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
627
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
628
useful. (Robert Collins)
630
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
635
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
636
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
638
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
639
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
641
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
642
properly and is no longer beneficial.
643
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
645
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
648
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
649
the file, and does it faster.
650
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
652
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
653
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
654
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
656
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
657
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
658
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
659
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
661
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
662
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
663
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
664
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
666
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
667
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
669
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
670
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
671
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
672
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
675
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
677
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
678
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
680
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
681
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
683
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
684
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
685
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
686
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
690
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
695
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
696
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
697
in running it. (Robert Collins)
699
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
700
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
702
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
703
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
704
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
705
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
706
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
707
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
708
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
709
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
711
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
712
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
713
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
715
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
716
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
717
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
718
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
719
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
721
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
723
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
724
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
725
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
727
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
728
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
735
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
738
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
739
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
742
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
746
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
747
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
752
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
753
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
754
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
755
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
756
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
757
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
758
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
759
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
764
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
765
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
766
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
768
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
769
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
772
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
773
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
776
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
777
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
778
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
779
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
780
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
784
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
787
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
788
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
790
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
791
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
793
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
794
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
795
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
797
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
798
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
800
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
801
last-changed-revision for directories. The
802
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
803
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
804
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
806
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
807
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
808
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
810
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
813
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
815
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
817
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
818
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
819
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
823
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
824
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
826
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
827
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
829
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
831
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
832
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
834
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
835
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
839
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
844
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
845
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
846
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
847
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
849
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
850
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
852
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
853
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
855
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
858
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
859
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
862
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
866
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
867
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
868
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
869
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
870
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
871
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
873
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
874
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
875
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
876
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
877
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
878
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
880
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
882
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
883
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
884
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
885
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
886
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
887
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
888
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
889
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
893
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
894
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
896
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
897
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
898
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
899
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
901
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
902
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
903
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
904
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
905
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
907
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
910
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
913
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
916
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
917
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
920
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
923
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
924
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
926
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
927
directory. (Martin Pool)
929
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
930
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
931
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
932
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
934
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
935
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
936
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
937
in docs/configuration.txt.
939
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
940
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
943
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
944
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
945
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
946
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
947
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
948
repositories. (Martin Pool)
950
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
951
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
953
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
954
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
956
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
961
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
962
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
963
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
964
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
965
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
968
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
969
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
972
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
973
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
976
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
977
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
978
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
979
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
980
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
981
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
983
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
984
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
985
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
987
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
988
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
989
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
990
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
992
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
994
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
995
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
996
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
997
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
999
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1000
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1001
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1002
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1004
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1005
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1006
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1008
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1009
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1010
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1012
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1013
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1014
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1015
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1017
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1018
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1019
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1021
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1022
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1023
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1025
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1026
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1027
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1028
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1029
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1030
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1031
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1032
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1033
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1034
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1035
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1039
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1040
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1041
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1043
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1046
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1047
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1048
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1049
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1051
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1052
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1055
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1056
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1058
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1060
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1061
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1062
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1064
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1065
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1067
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1070
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1073
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1074
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1076
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1078
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1079
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1083
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1084
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1091
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1095
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1096
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1097
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1099
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1100
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1101
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1104
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1108
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1109
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1110
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1111
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1113
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1116
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1117
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1118
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1120
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1121
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1123
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1126
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1127
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1128
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1129
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1130
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1131
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1133
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1134
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1135
should enable you to do::
1137
[/home/user/project]
1138
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1139
push_location:policy = appendpath
1141
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1142
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1145
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1146
for each file. For example::
1148
$ bzr status --short
1154
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1155
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1157
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1159
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1160
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1162
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1166
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1167
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1168
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1169
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1171
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1172
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1173
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1175
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1177
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1178
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1179
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1180
(Alexander Belchenko)
1182
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1185
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1186
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1188
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1192
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1193
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1195
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1196
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1197
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1198
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1199
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1201
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1202
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1204
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1205
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1207
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1209
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1211
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1212
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1213
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1214
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1215
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1217
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1218
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1219
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1220
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1222
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1223
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1225
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1226
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1228
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1229
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1231
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1232
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1237
No changes from 0.13rc1
1239
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1243
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1245
(Daniel Silverstone)
1247
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1248
operations are substantially faster.
1249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1251
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1252
tree from some other url. For example:
1253
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1254
(Daniel Silverstone)
1256
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1257
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1258
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1259
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1261
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1264
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1265
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1266
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1267
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1268
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1269
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1273
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1274
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1277
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1278
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1279
(John Arbash Meinel)
1281
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1282
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1283
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1284
(John Arbash Meinel)
1286
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1287
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1289
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1290
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1292
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1293
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1298
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1299
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1300
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1302
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1303
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1304
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1305
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1307
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1309
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1310
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1312
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1313
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1314
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1317
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1318
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1319
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1321
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1322
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1323
them as full references rather than integers.
1324
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1326
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1327
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1329
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1331
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1332
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1334
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1335
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1337
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1338
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1339
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1340
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1342
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1343
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1344
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1346
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1347
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1349
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1350
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1351
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1352
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1353
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1357
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1358
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1364
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1365
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1366
(John Arbash Meinel)
1368
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1372
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1373
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1374
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1375
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1377
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1378
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1380
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1382
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1383
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1384
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1385
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1387
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1388
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1389
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1390
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1391
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1393
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1395
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1396
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1400
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1401
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1402
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1404
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1405
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1406
(John Arbash Meinel)
1408
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1409
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1410
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1412
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1413
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1416
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1417
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1418
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1420
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1421
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1422
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1423
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1424
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1425
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1427
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1428
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1429
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1432
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1433
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1437
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1438
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1439
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1442
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1443
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1445
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1446
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1447
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1449
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1450
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1452
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1453
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1454
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1455
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1457
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1458
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1460
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1461
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1462
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1464
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1465
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1467
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1469
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1470
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1475
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1476
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1477
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1478
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1480
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1481
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1482
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1486
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1488
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1492
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1494
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1497
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1501
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1502
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1503
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1504
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1505
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1506
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1507
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1509
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1510
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1511
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1513
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1515
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1516
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1518
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1519
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1520
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1523
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1524
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1525
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1526
(John Arbash Meinel)
1528
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1529
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1530
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1531
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1534
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1535
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1536
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1537
(John Arbash Meinel)
1541
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1542
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1544
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1546
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1547
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1548
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1550
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1551
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1553
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1554
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1556
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1559
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1560
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1562
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1564
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1565
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1567
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1568
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1570
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1571
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1573
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1574
(John Arbash Meinel)
1576
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1577
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1578
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1580
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1581
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1583
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1584
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1585
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1586
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1588
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1589
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1590
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1592
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1593
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1597
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1601
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1602
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1603
(John Arbash Meinel)
1605
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1606
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1607
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1608
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1610
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1613
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1614
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1615
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1617
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1618
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1620
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1621
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1622
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1624
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1625
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1626
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1627
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1628
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1629
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1630
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1631
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1632
caller to repeat their request.
1633
(John Arbash Meinel)
1635
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1636
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1638
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1639
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1641
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1642
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1643
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1644
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1645
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1646
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1647
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1649
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1650
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1651
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1652
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1653
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1654
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1655
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1656
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1659
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1660
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1661
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1663
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1664
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1666
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1667
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1669
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1670
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1674
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1675
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1677
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1678
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1679
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1681
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1682
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1683
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1688
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1689
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1691
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1692
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1693
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1694
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1695
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1697
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1698
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1699
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1702
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1704
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1705
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1706
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1710
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1712
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1713
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1714
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1716
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1718
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1720
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1721
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1722
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1723
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1725
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1726
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1727
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1728
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1729
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1731
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1732
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1734
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1735
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1737
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1738
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1740
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1741
in handling of revision properties.
1742
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1744
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1745
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1749
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1750
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1751
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1752
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1753
(John Arbash Meinel)
1755
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1756
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1757
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1759
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1763
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1764
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1765
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1766
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1767
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1768
a more conservative list than the old default.
1769
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1770
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1771
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1772
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1774
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1775
to more locations than just branch locations.
1780
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1781
revno:N:branch. For example,
1782
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1783
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1785
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1786
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1787
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1788
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1789
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1790
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1791
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1792
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1795
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1796
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1797
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1800
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1801
(Alexander Belchenko)
1803
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1805
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1808
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1809
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1810
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1811
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1812
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1813
(John Arbash Meinel)
1815
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1816
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1817
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1818
grained analysis of performance.
1819
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1821
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1822
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1824
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1825
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1826
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1827
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1828
file. (Robert Collins).
1830
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1831
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1832
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1834
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1835
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1838
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1839
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1841
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1842
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1843
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1844
the same way you would apply another branch.
1845
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1847
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1848
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1850
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1853
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1856
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1857
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1858
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1860
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1861
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1862
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1864
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1865
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1867
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1868
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1869
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1870
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1871
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1873
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1874
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1876
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1877
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1878
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1879
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1880
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1881
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1882
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1883
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1885
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1886
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1887
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1891
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1893
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1895
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1896
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1898
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1899
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1901
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1902
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1904
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1906
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1907
(John Arbash Meinel)
1909
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1910
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1912
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1913
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1916
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1917
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1919
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1920
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1922
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1923
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1924
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1925
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1927
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1928
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1930
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1932
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1933
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1935
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1937
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1939
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1940
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1942
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1943
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1945
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1946
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1947
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1949
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1950
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1951
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1953
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1954
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1956
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1957
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1959
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1960
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1962
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1963
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1965
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1966
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1968
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1969
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1970
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1972
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1974
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1975
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1979
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1980
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1981
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1983
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1984
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1986
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1987
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1988
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1990
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1991
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1993
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1994
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1997
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1998
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1999
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2001
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2002
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2003
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2005
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2006
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2007
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2009
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2010
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2011
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2013
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2014
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2015
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2017
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2018
instead. (Robert Collins)
2020
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2022
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2026
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2028
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2032
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2033
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2035
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2036
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2038
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2039
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2040
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2044
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2046
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2047
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2049
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2053
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2054
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2055
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2056
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2060
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2061
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2062
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2066
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2067
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2068
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2072
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2073
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2077
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2079
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2080
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2081
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2082
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2083
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2084
will keep the same format.
2086
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2087
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2088
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2089
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2090
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2092
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2093
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2094
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2095
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2096
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2097
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2098
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2100
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2101
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2102
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2103
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2104
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2106
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2107
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2108
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2114
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2115
convention. Paths now take the form::
2117
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2119
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2121
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2122
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2124
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2125
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2126
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2128
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2129
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2130
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2131
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2133
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2134
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2135
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2137
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2139
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2141
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2142
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2145
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2146
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2149
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2151
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2152
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2153
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2156
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2158
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2160
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2163
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2164
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2166
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2167
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2170
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2171
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2174
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2176
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2178
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2179
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2181
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2182
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2183
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2184
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2185
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2186
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2188
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2191
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2194
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2195
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2197
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2198
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2200
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2202
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2203
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2204
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2205
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2206
specification by Martin Pool.
2207
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2209
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2212
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2213
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2215
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2216
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2217
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2219
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2221
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2222
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2227
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2228
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2230
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2232
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2234
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2237
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2238
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2239
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2240
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2244
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2245
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2246
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2247
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2249
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2250
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2251
tried. (Martin Pool)
2253
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2256
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2258
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2259
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2260
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2262
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2263
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2265
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2266
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2267
paths. (Robert Collins)
2269
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2270
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2271
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2273
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2274
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2275
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2277
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2278
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2279
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2281
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2284
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2287
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2289
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2291
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2292
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2293
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2296
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2297
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2299
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2300
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2301
check. (Robert Collins)
2303
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2304
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2308
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2309
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2311
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2312
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2313
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2314
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2316
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2317
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2318
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2319
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2320
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2322
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2323
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2324
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2326
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2328
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2329
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2335
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2336
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2338
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2339
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2340
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2343
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2344
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2346
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2347
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2348
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2349
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2350
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2352
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2353
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2354
used. (Robert Collins)
2356
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2357
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2360
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2361
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2362
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2364
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2367
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2368
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2372
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2373
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2375
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2377
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2379
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2380
tree. (Robert Collins)
2382
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2383
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2384
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2387
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2390
* Tweaks to short log printing
2392
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2395
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2396
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2398
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2399
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2401
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2402
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2404
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2405
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2406
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2408
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2409
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2411
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2412
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2415
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2416
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2418
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2419
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2421
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2422
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2424
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2427
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2428
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2430
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2431
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2433
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2434
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2435
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2439
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2441
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2443
* Error when run with -OO
2445
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2448
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2450
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2452
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2453
ignored by diff and status
2455
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2456
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2458
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2460
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2462
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2463
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2465
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2466
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2468
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2471
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2472
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2474
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2476
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2477
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2479
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2482
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2483
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2485
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2489
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2490
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2492
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2494
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2496
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2498
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2499
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2500
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2502
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2504
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2505
(John Arbash Meinel)
2507
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2509
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2510
If adding a new test script please add that to
2511
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2513
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2514
imported. (Martin Pool)
2516
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2517
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2518
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2519
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2520
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2523
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2524
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2525
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2527
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2528
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2529
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2531
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2532
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2533
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2534
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2535
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2538
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2539
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2544
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2545
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2547
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2548
function. (Robert Collins)
2550
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2551
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2552
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2554
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2555
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2558
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2559
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2560
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2561
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2562
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2563
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2564
version. (Robert Collins)
2566
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2567
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2569
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2570
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2571
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2572
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2573
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2574
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2576
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2579
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2589
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2591
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2593
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2596
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2597
query method. (Robert Collins)
2599
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2602
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2605
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2608
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2609
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2610
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2611
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2613
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2614
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2615
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2616
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2618
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2619
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2625
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2628
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2632
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2633
a separator, not ':'.
2636
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2637
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2638
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2640
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2641
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2644
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2645
has been added that suppresses all output.
2647
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2650
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2651
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2653
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2654
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2656
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2657
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2659
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2660
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2661
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2662
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2664
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2666
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2667
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2669
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2670
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2672
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2673
output directory, if one was supplied.
2675
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2676
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2677
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2678
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2680
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2682
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2683
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2685
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2686
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2687
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2689
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2690
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2692
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2695
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2697
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2701
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2702
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2703
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2705
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2706
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2707
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2709
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2710
is given. (Martin Pool)
2712
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2713
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2714
file. (Robert Collins)
2716
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2721
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2722
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2723
representation. (Martin Pool).
2725
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2726
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2727
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2729
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2732
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2733
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2736
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2737
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2738
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2739
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2740
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2742
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2743
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2744
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2745
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2746
python path. (Robert Collins)
2748
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2749
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2750
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2751
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2753
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2754
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2756
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2757
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2760
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2761
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2762
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2764
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2765
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2766
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2768
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2769
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2771
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2772
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2773
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2776
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2777
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2778
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2779
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2782
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2785
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2786
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2789
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2790
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2791
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2793
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2794
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2795
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2797
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2798
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2799
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2801
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2802
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2804
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2805
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2806
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2807
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2808
caller. (Robert Collins)
2810
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2811
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2814
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2815
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2818
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2820
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2821
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2825
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2826
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2828
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2829
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2832
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2836
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2837
allow directories to be listed.
2839
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2840
upgrading branch format.
2844
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2851
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2852
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2853
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2854
high-latency connections.
2858
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2861
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2862
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2864
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2865
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2866
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2867
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2869
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2870
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2872
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2873
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2875
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2876
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2877
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2879
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2880
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2881
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2884
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2885
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2887
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2888
different partial views of history.
2890
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2891
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2895
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2896
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2897
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2899
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2900
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2903
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2904
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2906
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2909
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2910
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2912
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2913
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2914
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2915
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2917
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2919
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2920
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2923
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2924
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2926
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2927
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2928
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2933
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2934
for your viewing pleasure.
2936
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2937
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2939
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2940
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2941
handling of such circumstances.
2943
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2944
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2945
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2947
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2949
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2950
we call them revisions not patches.
2952
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2953
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2955
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2956
giving the revision *of that file*.
2958
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2959
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2960
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2964
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2965
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2967
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2968
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2971
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2975
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2977
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2980
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2982
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2984
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2985
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2989
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2990
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2992
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2993
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2994
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2995
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2998
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2999
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3003
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3005
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3006
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3009
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3013
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3014
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3015
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3016
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3019
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3022
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3023
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3024
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3025
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3026
for the operating system is still tried.
3028
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3029
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3030
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3035
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3039
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3041
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3044
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3050
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3052
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3055
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3059
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3060
help with intelligent shell completion.
3062
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3067
* Much better merge support.
3069
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3070
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3076
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3077
mention revisions that are not present.
3079
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3081
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3083
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3084
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3089
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3091
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3092
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3098
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3099
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3104
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18

* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3109
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
