IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
12
13
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
14
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
15
command may need to be adjusted.
16
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
17
18
NEW FEATURES:
19
20
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
21
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
22
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
23
24
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
25
(John Arbash Meinel)
26
27
IMPROVEMENTS:
28
29
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
30
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
31
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
32
33
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
34
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
35
36
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
37
(Jelmer Vernooij)
38
39
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
40
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
41
42
BUG FIXES:
43
44
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
45
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
46
47
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
48
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
49
Vernooij, #315048)
50
51
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
52
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
53
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
54
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
55
56
DOCUMENTATION:
57
58
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
59
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
60
61
API CHANGES:
62
63
INTERNALS:
64
65
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
66
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
67
68
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
69
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
70
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
71
72
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
73
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
74
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
75

77
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
78
--------------------------------
79
80
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
81
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
82
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
83
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
84
by showing the rate of network IO.
85
86
BUG FIXES:
87
88
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
89
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
90
91
DOCUMENTATION:
92
93
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
94
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
95
96
97
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
98
-----------------------------------
99
100
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
101
102
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
103
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
104
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
105
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
106
107
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
108
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
109
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
110
(Ian Clatworthy)
111
112
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
113
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
114
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
115
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
116
117
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
118
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
119
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
120
(Ian Clatworthy)
121
122
NEW FEATURES:
123
124
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
125
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
126
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
127
(Marius Kruger)
128
129
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
130
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
131
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
132
133
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
134
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
135
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
136
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
137
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
138
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
139
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
140
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
141
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
142
(Ian Clatworthy)
143
144
IMPROVEMENTS:
145
146
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
147
(Daniel Watkins)
148
149
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
150
(Marius Kruger)
151
152
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
153
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
154
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
155
156
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
157
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
158
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
159
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
160
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
161
162
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
163
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
164
165
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
166
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
167
level for better precision.
168
(Vincent Ladeuil)
169
170
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
171
rules. (Marius Kruger)
172
173
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
174
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
175
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
176
177
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
178
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
179
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
180
(Andrew Bennetts)
181
182
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
183
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
184
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
185
186
BUG FIXES:
187
188
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
189
anymore.
190
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
191
192
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
193
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
194
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
195
196
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
197
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
198
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
199
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
200
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
201
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
202
203
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
204
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
205
206
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
207
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
208
209
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
210
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
211
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
212
213
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
214
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
215
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
216
(Andrew Bennetts)
217
218
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
219
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
220
221
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
222
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
223
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
224
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
225
226
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
227
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
228
handled.
229
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
230
231
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
232
233
DOCUMENTATION:
234
235
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
236
237
API CHANGES:
238
239
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
240
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
241
(Martin Pool)
242
243
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
244
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
245
246
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
247
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
248
249
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
250
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
251
252
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
253
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
254
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
255
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
256
257
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
258
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
259
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
260
261
INTERNALS:
262
263
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
264
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
265
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
266
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
267
compile buffers, are such an example).
268
(Vincent Ladeuil)
269
270
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
271
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
272
(Ian Clatworthy)
273
274
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
275
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
276
efficient way of doing the mapping.
277
(Ian Clatworthy)
278
279
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
280
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
281
282
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
283
formatters to retrict the output.
284
(Vincent Ladeuil)

bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
288
------------------------------
289
290
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
291
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
292
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
293
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
294
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
295
296
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
297
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
298
advice.
299
300
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
301
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
302
303
BUG FIXES:
304
305
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
306
(Vincent Ladeuil)
307
308
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
309
(John Arbash Meinel)
310
311
312
313
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
314
---------------------------------
315
316
CHANGES:
317
318
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
319
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
320
321
NEW FEATURES:
322
323
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
324
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
325
326
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
327
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
328
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
329
implement other plugins.
330
(Vincent Ladeuil)
331
332
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
333
(Aaron Bentley)
334
335
IMPROVEMENTS:
336
337
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
338
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
339
340
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
341
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
342
343
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
344
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
345
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
346
processes which drag in shell extensions.
347
(Mark Hammond)
348
349
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
350
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
351
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
352
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
353
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
354
355
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
356
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
357
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
358
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
359
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
360
361
BUG FIXES:
362
363
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
364
control directory. (#139691)
365
366
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
367
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
368
369
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
370
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
371
372
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
373
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
374
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
375
376
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
377
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
378
379
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
380
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
381
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
382
383
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
384
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
385
386
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
387
(Jari Aalto)
388
389
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
390
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
391
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
392
393
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
394
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
395
396
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
397
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
398
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
399
400
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
401
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
402
in the appropriate sections.
403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
404
405
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
406
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
407
(John Arbash meinel)
408
409
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
411
412
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
414
415
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
416
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
417
418
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
419
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
420
work better with how it splits its requests.
421
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
422
423
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
424
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
425
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
426
427
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
428
(Aaron Bentley)
429
430
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
431
432
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
434
435
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
436
Duffy, #314251)
437
438
DOCUMENTATION:
439
440
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
441
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
442
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
443
(Ian Clatworthy)
444
445
API CHANGES:
446
447
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
448
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
449
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
450
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
451
452
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
453
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
454
455
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
456
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
457
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
458
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
459
460
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
461
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
462
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
463
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
464
465
TESTING:
466
467
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
468
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
469
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
470
471
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
472
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
473
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
474
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
475
476
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
477
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
478
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
479
(Ian Clatworthy)
480
481
INTERNALS:
482
483
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
484
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
485
(John Arbash Meinel)
486
487
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
488
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
489
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
490
(John Arbash Meinel)
491
492
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
493
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
494
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
495
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
496
497
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
498
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
499
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
500
501
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
502
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
503
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
504
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
505
506
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
507
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
508
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
509
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
510
(John Arbash Meinel)
511
512
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
513
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
514
515
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
516
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
517
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
518
519
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
520
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
521
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
522
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
523
524
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
525
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
526
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
527
(John Arbash Meinel)
528
529
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
530
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
531
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
532
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
533
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
534
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
535
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
536
537
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
538
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
539
540
541
542
bzr 1.10 2008-12-05
543
-------------------
544
545
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
546
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
547
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
548
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
549
implementation.
550
551
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
552
553
BUG FIXES:
554
555
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
556
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
557
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
558
(Martin Pool, #303856)
559
560
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
561
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
562
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
563
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
564
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
565
566
567
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
568
----------------------
569
570
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
571
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
572
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
573
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
574
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
575
576
NEW FEATURES:
577
578
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
579
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
580
581
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
582
(Aaron Bentley)
583
584
IMPROVEMENTS:
585
586
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
587
history just to set the last revision info.
588
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
589
590
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
591
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
592
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
593
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
594
595
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
596
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
597
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
598
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
599
(John Arbash Meinel)
600
601
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
602
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
603
604
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
605
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
606
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
607
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
608
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
609
610
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
611
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
612
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
613
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
614
615
BUG FIXES:
616
617
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
618
(Martin Pool, #289148)
619
620
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
621
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
622
623
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
624
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
625
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
626
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
627
628
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
629
starting with a dotted revno.
630
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
631
632
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
633
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
634
(Martin Pool, #288751)
635
636
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
637
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
638
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
639
640
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
641
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
642
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
643
644
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
645
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
646
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
647
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
648
649
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
650
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
651
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
652
653
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
654
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
655
656
API CHANGES:
657
658
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
659
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
660
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
661
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
662
663
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
664
have changed incompatibly.
665
666
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
667
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
668
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
669
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
670
don't need to change.
671
672
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
673
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
674
675
TESTING:
676
677
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
678
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
679
680
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
681
682
683
bzr 1.9 2008-11-07
684
------------------
685
686
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
687
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
688
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
689
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
690
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
691
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
692
693
BUG FIXES:
694
695
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
696
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
697
698
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
699
700
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
701
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
702
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
703
704
705
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
706
---------------------
707
708
NEW FEATURES:
709
710
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
711
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
712
713
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
714
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
715
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
716
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
717
718
IMPROVEMENTS:
719
720
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
721
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
722
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
723
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
724
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
725
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
726
727
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
728
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
729
730
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
731
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
732
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
733
734
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
735
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
736
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
737
(Andrew Bennetts)
738
739
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
740
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
741
742
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
743
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
744
745
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
746
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
747
748
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
749
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
750
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
751
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
752
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
753
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
754
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
755
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
756
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
757
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
758
759
BUG FIXES:
760
761
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
762
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
763
764
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
765
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
766
767
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
768
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
769
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
770
771
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
772
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
773
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
774
775
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
776
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
777
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
778
779
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
780
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
781
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
782
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
783
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
784
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
785
786
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
787
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
788
789
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
790
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
791
792
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
793
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
794
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
795
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
796
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
797
798
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
799
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
800
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
801
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
802
803
DOCUMENTATION:
804
805
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
806
807
API CHANGES:
808
809
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
810
811
INTERNALS:
812
813
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
814
configuration of authetication credentials.
815
816
817
bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
818
------------------
819
820
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
821
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
822
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
823
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
824
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
825
826
BUG FIXES:
827
828
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
829
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
830
831
PORTABILITY:
832
833
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
834
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
835
836
837
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
838
---------------------
839
840
CHANGES:
841
842
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
843
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
844
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
845
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
846
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
847
848
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
849
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
850
851
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
852
server. (Marius Kruger)
853
854
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
855
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
856
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
857
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
858
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
859
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
860
861
FEATURES:
862
863
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
864
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
865
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
866
welcome.
867
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
868
869
IMPROVEMENTS:
870
871
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
872
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
873
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
874
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
875
876
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
877
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
878
(Daniel Watkins)
879
880
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
881
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
882
(Andrew Bennetts)
883
884
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
885
(Robert Collins)
886
887
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
888
889
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
890
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
891
892
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
893
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
894
895
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
896
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
897
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
898
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
899
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
900
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
901
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
902
operations. (Robert Collins)
903
904
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
905
906
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
907
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
908
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
909
910
BUG FIXES:
911
912
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
913
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
914
(Martin Pool, #279381)
915
916
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
917
repository now preserves the repository format.
918
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
919
920
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
922
923
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
925
926
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
927
it's not there.
928
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
929
930
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
931
(Andrew Bennetts)
932
933
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
934
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
935
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
936
937
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
938
is in a different repository than the current one.
939
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
940
941
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
942
(David Futcher, #242106)
943
944
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
945
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
946
947
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
948
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
949
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
950
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
951
952
* Trivial documentation fix.
953
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
954
955
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
956
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
957
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
958
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
959
960
DOCUMENTATION:
961
962
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
963
964
API CHANGES:
965
966
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
967
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
968
to use. (Robert Collins)
969
970
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
971
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
972
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
973
974
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
975
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
976
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
977
they want. (Robert Collins)
978
979
TESTING:
980
981
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
982
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
983
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
984
985
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
986
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
987
(Mark Hammond)
988
989
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
990
(Aaron Bentley)
991
992
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
993
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
994
995
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
996
(Andrew Bennetts)
997
998
INTERNALS:
999
1000
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1001
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1002
1003
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1004
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1005
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1006
1007
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1008
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1009
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1010
1011
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1012
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1013
1014
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1015
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1016
1017
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1018
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1019
1020
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1021
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1022
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1023
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1024
parameters anymore.

1034
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1035
-----------------------
1036
1037
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1038
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1039
1040
FEATURES:
1041
1042
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1043
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1044
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1045
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
1050
------------------
1051
1052
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1053
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1054
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1055
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1056
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1057
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1058
1059
FEATURES
1060
1061
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1062
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1063
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1064
1065
1066
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1067
---------------------
1068
1069
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1070
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1071
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1072
connect to the stacked-on location.
1073
1074
BUG FIXES:
1075
1076
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1077
repository now preserves the repository format.
1078
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1079
1080
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1081
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1082
1083
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1084
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1085
1086
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1091
---------------------
1092
1093
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1094
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1095
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1096
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1097
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1098
it in a future repository format.
1099
1100
1101
CHANGES:
1102
1103
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1104
(Robert Collins)
1105
1106
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1107
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1108
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1109
1110
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1111
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1112
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1113
1114
FEATURES
1115
1116
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1117
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1118
1119
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1120
1121
IMPROVEMENTS:
1122
1123
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1124
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1125
(Martin Pool)
1126
1127
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1128
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1129
1130
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1131
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1132
(Marius Kruger)
1133
1134
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1135
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1136
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1137
(John Arbash Meinel)
1138
1139
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1140
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1141
1142
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1143
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1144
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1145
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1146
(John Arbash Meinel)
1147
1148
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1149
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1150
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1151
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1152
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1153
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1154
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1155
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1156
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1157
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1158
1159
BUG FIXES:
1160
1161
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1162
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1163
1164
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1165
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1166
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1167
1168
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1169
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1170
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1171
1172
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1173
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1174
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1175
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1176
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1177
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1178
1179
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1180
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1181
1182
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1183
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1184
1185
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1186
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1187
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1188
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1189
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1190
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1191
1192
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1193
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1194
1195
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1196
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1197
1198
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1199
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1200
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1201
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1202
1203
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1204
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1205
1206
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1207
assuming the host name is ascii.
1208
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1209
1210
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1211
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1212
1213
DOCUMENTATION:
1214
1215
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1216
1217
API CHANGES:
1218
1219
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1220
1221
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1222
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1223
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1224
(Robert Collins)
1225
1226
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1227
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1228
1229
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1230
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1231
1232
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1233
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1234
1235
TESTING:
1236
1237
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1238
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1239
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1240
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1241
1242
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1243
still in use.
1244
(Mark Hammond)
1245
1246
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1247
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1248
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1249
1250
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1251
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1252
1253
INTERNALS:
1254
1255
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1256
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1257
(Robert Collins)
1258
1259
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1260
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1261
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1262
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1263
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1264
1265
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1266
is unknown in both source and target.
1267
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1268
1269
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1270
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1271
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1272
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1273
1274
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1275
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1276
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1277
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1281
--------------------
1282
1283
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1284
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1285
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1286
1287
1288
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1289
-----------------------
1290
1291
BUG FIXES:
1292
1293
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1294
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1295
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1296
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1297
1298
1299
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1300
-----------------------
1301
1302
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1303
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1304
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1305
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1306
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1307
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1308
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1309
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1310
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1311
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1312
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1313
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1314
1315
BUG FIXES:
1316
1317
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1318
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1319
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1320
start of the string (causing more copies).
1321
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1322
especially for projects with large files.
1323
(John Arbash Meinel)
1324
1325
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1326
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1327
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1328
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1329
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1330
1331
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1332
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1333
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1334
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1335
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
1340
------------------
1341
1342
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1343
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1344
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1345
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1346
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1347
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1348
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1349
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1350
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

1353
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1354
---------------------
1355
1356
BUG FIXES:
1357
1358
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1359
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1360
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1361
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)

1366
---------------------
1367
1368
BUG FIXES:
1369
1370
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1371
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1372
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)

---------------------
1377
1378
CHANGES:
1379
1380
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1381
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1382
(Robert Collins)
1383
1384
IMPROVEMENTS:
1385
1386
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1387
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1388
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1389
(Mark Hammond)
1390
1391
BUG FIXES:
1392
1393
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1394
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1395
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1396
1397
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1398
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1399
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1400
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1401
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1402
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1403
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1407
---------------------
1408
1409
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1410
fixes for Windows.
1411
1412
BUG FIXES:
1413
1414
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1415
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1416
1417
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1418
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1419
(Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1422
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1423
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1424
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1425
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1426
1427
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1428
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1429
1430
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1431
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1432
1433
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1434
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1435
1436
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1437
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1438
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1439
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1440
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1441
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1442
1443
1444
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1445
---------------------
1446
1447
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1448
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1449
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1450
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1451
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1452
1453
CHANGES:
1454
1455
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1456
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1457
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1458
1459
IMPROVEMENTS:
1460
1461
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1462
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1463
1464
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1465
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1466
1467
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1468
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1469
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1470
1471
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1472
(James Westby)
1473
1474
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1475
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1476
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1477
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1478
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1479
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1480
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1481
1482
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1483
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1484
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1485
1486
BUG FIXES:
1487
1488
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1489
physical repository boundaries.
1490
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1491
1492
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1493
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1494
1495
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1496
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1497
(Martin Pool)
1498
1499
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1500
(Ian Clatworthy)
1501
1502
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1503
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1504
that Python is running from.
1505
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1506
1507
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1508
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1509
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1510
1511
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1513
1514
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1515
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1516
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1517
1518
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1519
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1520
1521
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1522
(James Westby, #248448)
1523
1524
API CHANGES:
1525
1526
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1527
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1528
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1529
(Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1532
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1533
(Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1536
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1537
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1538
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1539
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1540
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1541
(Robert Collins)
1542
1543
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1544
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1545
1546
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1547
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1548
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1549
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1550
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1551
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1552
1553
INTERNALS:
1554
1555
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1556
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1557
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1558
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1559
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1560
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1561
1562
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1563
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1564
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1565
1566
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1567
(Ian Clatworthy)
1568
1569
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1570
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1571
1572
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1573

1576
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1577
-----------------------
1578
1579
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1580
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1581
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1582
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1583
bug fixes.
1584
1585
FEATURES:
1586
1587
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1588
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1589
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1590
1591
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1592
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1593
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1594
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1595
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1596
(Ian Clatworthy)
1597
1598
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1599
1600
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1601
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1602
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1603
(Robert Collins)
1604
1605
IMPROVEMENTS:
1606
1607
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1608
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1609
(Martin Pool)
1610
1611
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1612
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1613
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1614
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1615
1616
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1617
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1618
(Christophe Troestler)
1619
1620
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1621
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1622
1623
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1624
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1625
faster. The new request method name is
1626
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1627
1628
BUG FIXES:
1629
1630
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1631
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1632
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1633
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1634
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1635
1636
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1637
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1638
1639
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1640
requires a branch to be present.
1641
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1642
1643
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1644
loaded.
1645
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1646
1647
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1648
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1649
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1650
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1651
1652
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1653
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1654
1655
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1656
name contains an @.
1657
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1658
1659
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1660
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1661
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1662
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1663
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1664
1665
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1666
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1667
1668
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1669
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1670
1671
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1672
Cygwin Bazaar.
1673
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1674
1675
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1676
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1677
1678
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1679
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1680
1681
DOCUMENTATION:
1682
1683
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1684
(Ian Clatworthy)
1685
1686
* Updated developer documentation.
1687
(Martin Pool)
1688
1689
TESTING:
1690
1691
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1692
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1693
1694
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1695
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1696
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1697
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1698
1699
API CHANGES:
1700
1701
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1702
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1703
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1704
Repository docstring for more details.
1705
(Robert Collins)
1706
1707
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1708
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1709
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1710
1711
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1712
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1713
(Daniel Watkins)
1714
1715
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1716
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1717
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1718
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1719
1720
INTERNALS:
1721
1722
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1723
(Alexander Belchenko)
1724
1725
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1726
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1727
containing a given location.
1728
(Daniel Watkins)
1729
1730
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1731
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1732
storage. (Robert Collins)
1733
1734
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1735
(Robert Collins)
1736
1737
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1738
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1739
(Robert Collins)
1740
1741
1742
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1743
-----------------------
1744
1745
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1746
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1747
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1748
now faster.
1749
1750
BUG FIXES:
1751
1752
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1753
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1754
reading from the repository.)
1755
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1756
1757
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1758
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1759
1760
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1761
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1762
(Andrew Bennetts)
1763
1764
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1765
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1766
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1767
1768
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1769
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1770
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1771
1772
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1773
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1774
1775
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1776
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1777
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1778
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1779
1780
IMPROVEMENTS:
1781
1782
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1783
1784
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1785
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1786
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1787
(Adrian Wilkins)
1788
1789
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1790
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1791
1792
DOCUMENTATION:
1793
1794
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1795
1796
TESTING:
1797
1798
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1799
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1800
1801
API CHANGES:
1802
1803
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1804
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1805
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1806
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1807
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1808
1809
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1810
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1811
1812
INTERNALS:
1813
1814
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1815
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1816
1817
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1818
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1819
1820
1821
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1822
-----------------------
1823
1824
1825
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1826
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1827
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1828
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1829
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1830
and future extensions.
1831
1832
1833
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1834
1835
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1836
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1837
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1838
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1839
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1840
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1841
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

1844
CHANGES:
1845
1846
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1847
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1848
(John Arbash Meinel)
1849
1850
FEATURES:
1851
1852
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1853
load. (James Westby)
1854
1855
IMPROVEMENTS:
1856
1857
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1858
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1859
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1860
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1861
1862
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1863
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1864
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1865
1866
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1867
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1868
1869
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1870
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1871
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1872
1873
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1874
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1875
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1876
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1877
step closer to not using full revision history.
1878
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1879
1880
BUGFIXES:
1881
1882
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1883
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1884
1885
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1886
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1887
1888
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1889
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1890
1891
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1892
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1893
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1894
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1895
1896
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1897
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1898
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1899
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1900
1901
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1902
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1903
in use by another process.
1904
(Martin Pool)
1905
1906
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1907
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1908
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1909
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1910
1911
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1912
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1913
1914
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1915
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1917
1918
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1919
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1921
1922
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1923
them.
1924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1925
1926
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1927
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1928
1929
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1930
under vim on Mac OS X.
1931
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1932
1933
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1934
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1935
1936
DOCUMENTATION:
1937
1938
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1939
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1940
1941
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1942
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1943
(Ian Clatworthy)
1944
1945
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1946
and about use of Python reprs.
1947
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1948
1949
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1950
1951
TESTING:
1952
1953
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1954
(Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1957
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1958
1959
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1960
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1961
1962
INTERNALS:
1963
1964
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1965
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1966
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1967
(John Arbash Meinel)
1968
1969
API CHANGES:
1970
1971
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1972
instead. (Martin Pool)
1973
1974
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1975
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1976
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1977
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1978
1979
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1980
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1981
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1982
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1983
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1984
1985
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1986
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1987
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1988
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1989
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1990
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1991
1992
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1993
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1994
(Martin Pool)
1995
1996
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1997
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1998
(Robert Collins)
1999
2000
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2001
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2002
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2003
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2004
2005
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2006
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2007
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2008
2009
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2010
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2011
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2012
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2013
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2014
(Martin Pool)
2015
2016
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2017
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2018
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2019
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2020
(Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2023
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2024
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2025
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2026
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2027
2028
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

------------------
2034
2035
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2036
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2037
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2038
2039
CHANGES:
2040
2041
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2042
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2043
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2044

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2056
2057
CHANGES:
2058
2059
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2060
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2061
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2062
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2063
2064
FEATURES:
2065
2066
IMPROVEMENTS:
2067
2068
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2069
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2070
2071
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2072
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2073
2074
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2075
(Aaron Bentley)
2076
2077
BUGFIXES:
2078
2079
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2081
2082
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2083
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2084
2085
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2086
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2087
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2088
2089
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2090
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2091
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2092
2093
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2094
(Andreas Deininger)
2095
2096
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2097
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2098
2099
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2100
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2101
2102
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2103
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2104
2105
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2106
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2107
2108
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2109
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2110
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2111
2112
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2113
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2114
2115
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2116
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2117
2118
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2119
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2120
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2121
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2122
2123
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2124
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2125
(Martin Pool)
2126
2127
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2128
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2129
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2130
2131
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2132
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2133
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2134
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2135
every revision each side had in common.
2136
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2137
2138
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2139
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2140
2141
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2142
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2143
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2144
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2145
2146
DOCUMENTATION:
2147
2148
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2149
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2150
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2151
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2152
2153
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2154
2155
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2156
2157
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2159
2160
TESTING:
2161
2162
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2163
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2164
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2165
2166
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2167
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2168
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2169
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2170
2171
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2172
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2173
2174
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2175
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2176
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2177
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2178
2179
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2180
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2181
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2182
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2183
2184
INTERNALS:
2185
2186
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2187
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2188
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2189
2190
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2191
2192
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2193
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2194
2195
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2196
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2197
2198
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2199
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2200
2201
API CHANGES:
2202
2203
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2204
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2205
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2206
2207
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2208
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2209
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2210
(Aaron Bentley)
2211
2212
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2213
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2214
(Martin Pool)
2215
2216
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

------------------
2222
2223
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2224
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2225
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2226
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2227
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2228
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2229
and faster performance.
2230
2231
BUG FIXES:
2232
2233

2246
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)

2250
2251
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".

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

2271
2272
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2273
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2274
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2275
2276
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2277
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2278
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2279
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2280
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2281
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2282
Andrew Cowie)
2283
2284
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2285
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2286
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.

* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2292
2293
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2294
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2295
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2296
2297
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2298
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2299
See the User Reference for signature details.
2300
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2301
2302
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2303
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2304
2305
IMPROVEMENTS:
2306
2307
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2308
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2309
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2310
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2311
2312
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2313
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2314
2315
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2316
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2317
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2318
Wouter van Heyst)
2319
2320
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2321
(Chad Miller)
2322
2323
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2324
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2325
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2326
2327
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2328
(Aaron Bentley)
2329
2330
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2331
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2332
2333
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2334
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2335
2336
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2337
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2338
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2339
2340
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2341
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2342
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2343
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2344
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2345
2346
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2347
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2348
2349
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2350
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2351
2352
BUGFIXES:
2353
2354
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2355
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2356
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2357
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2358
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2359
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2360
2361
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2362
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2363
2364
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2365
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2366
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2367
2368
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2369
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2370
2371
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2372
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2373
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2374
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2377
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2378
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2379
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2380
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2381
2382
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2383
2384
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2385
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2386
2387
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2388
2389
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2390
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2391
2392
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2393
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2394
2395
DOCUMENTATION:
2396
2397
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2398
2399
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2400
2401
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2402
2403
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2404
2405
API BREAKS:
2406
2407
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2408
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2409
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2410
2411
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2412
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2413
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2414
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2417
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2418
release. (James Westby)
2419
2420
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2421
(Andrew Bennetts)
2422
2423
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2424
2425
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2426
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2427
2428
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2429
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2430
2431
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2432
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2433
2434
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2435
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2436
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2437
2438
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2439
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2440
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2441
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2444
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2445
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2446
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2447
2448
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2449
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2450
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2451
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2452
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2453
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2456
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2457
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2458
2459
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2460
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2461
2462
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2463
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2464
(Robert Collins)
2465
2466
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2467
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2468
2469
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2470
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2471
2472
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2473
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2474
2475
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2476
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2477
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2480
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2481
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2482
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2483
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2484
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2485
2486
TESTING:
2487
2488
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2489
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2490
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2491
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2492
2493
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2494
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2495
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2496
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2497
implement this).
2498
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2499
2500
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2501
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2502
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2503
2504
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2505
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2506
2507
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2508
2509
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2510
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2511
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2512
2513
INTERNALS:
2514
2515
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2516
2517
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2518
(Martin Albisetti)
2519
2520
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2521
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2522
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2523
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2524
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2525
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2526
2527
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2528
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2529
2530
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2531
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2532
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2533
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2534
2535
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2536
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2537
2538
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2539
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

2560
------------------
2561
2562
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2563
2564
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2565
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2566
features have been added.
2567
2568
TESTING:

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2579
2580
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2581
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2582
2583
CHANGES:
2584
2585
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2586
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2587
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2588
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2589
(Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2592
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2593
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2594
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2595
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2596
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2597
2598
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2599
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2600
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2601
(Alexander Belchenko)
2602
2603
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2604
2605
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2606
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2607
2608
FEATURES:
2609
2610
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2611
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2612
2613
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2614
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2615
(Jelmer Vernooij)
2616
2617
IMPROVEMENTS:
2618
2619
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2620
2621
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2622
2623
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2624
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2625
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2626
2627
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2628
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2629
2630
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2631
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2632
2633
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2634
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2635
(Alexander Belchenko)
2636
2637
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2638
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2639
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2640
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2641
2642
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2643
(Daniel Watkins)
2644
2645
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2646
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2647
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2648
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2649
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2650
2651
BUGFIXES:
2652
2653
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2654
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2655
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2656
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2657
2658
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2659
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2660
2661
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2662
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2663

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2665

2668
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.

2670
2671
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,

2674
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2675
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2676
2677
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2678
2679
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2680
2681
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2682
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2683
2684
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2685
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2686
2687
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2688
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2689
2690
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2691
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2692
2693
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2694
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2695
2696
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2697
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)

(Alexander Belchenko)
2709
2710
TESTING:
2711
2712
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2713
2714
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2715
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2716
(Robert Collins)
2717
2718
INTERNALS:
2719
2720
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2721
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2722
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2723
2724
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2725
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2726
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2727
(Alexander Belchenko)
2728
2729
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2730
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2731
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2732
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2735
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2736
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2737
(Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2740
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2741
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2742
2743
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2744
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2745
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2746
2747
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2748
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2749

2764
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2765
2766
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2767
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2768
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2769
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2770
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2771
(Andrew Bennetts)
2772
2773
CHANGES:
2774
2775
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2776
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2777
2778
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2779
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2780
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2781
2782
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2783
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2784
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2785
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2786
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2787
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2788
(Aaron Bentley)
2789
2790
FEATURES:
2791
2792
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2793
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2794
2795
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2796
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2797
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2798
(Robert Collins)
2799
2800
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2801
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2802
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2803
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2804
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2805
2806
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2807
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2808
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2809
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2810
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2811
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2812
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2813
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2814
2815
IMPROVEMENTS:
2816
2817
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2818
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2819
2820
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2821
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2822
2823
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2824
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2825
2826
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2827
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2828
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2829
2830
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2831
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2832
(John Arbash Meinel)
2833
2834
BUGFIXES:
2835
2836
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2837
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2838
2839
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2840
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2841
2842
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2843
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2844
2845
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2846
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2847
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2848
2849
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2850
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2851
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2852
2853
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2854
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2855
2856
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2857
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2858
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2859
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2860
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2861
unittest runner.
2862
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2863
2864
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2865
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2866
#185907)
2867
2868
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2869
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2870
2871
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2872
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2873
2874
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2875
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2876
2877
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2878
more characters which should be considered valid.
2879
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2880
2881
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2882
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2883
2884
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2885
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2886
2887
API BREAKS:
2888
2889
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2890
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2891
2892
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2893
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2894
(Martin Pool)
2895
2896
TESTING:
2897
2898
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2899
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2900
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2901
2902
INTERNALS:
2903
2904
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2905
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2906
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2907
2908
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2909
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2910
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2911
2912
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2913
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2914
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2915
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2916
2917
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2918
2919
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2920
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2921
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2922
server. (Robert Collins)
2923
2924
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2925
operate. (Robert Collins)
2926
2927
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2928
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2929
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2930
2931
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2932
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2933
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2934
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2935
2936
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2937
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2938
2939
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2940
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2941
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2942
2943
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2944
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2945
2946
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2947
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2948
2949
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2950
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2951
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2952
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

2959
2960
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2961
---------------------
2962
2963
CHANGES:
2964
2965
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2966
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2967
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2968
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2969
2970
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2971
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2972
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2973
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2974
2975
FEATURES:
2976
2977
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2978
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2979
2980
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2981
(Aaron Bentley)
2982
2983
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2984
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2985
2986
IMPROVEMENTS:
2987
2988
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2989
#90049)
2990
2991
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2992
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2993
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2994
2995
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2996
2997
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2998
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2999
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3000
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3001
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3002
3003
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3004
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3005
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3006
3007
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3008
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3009
3010
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3011
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3012
3013
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3014
3015
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3016
3017
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3018
(Aaron Bentley)
3019
3020
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3021
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3022
3023
BUGFIXES:
3024
3025
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3026
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3027
3028
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3030
3031
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3032
(Aaron Bentley)
3033
3034
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3035
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3036
3037
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3038
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3039
3040
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3041
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3042
3043
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3044
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3045
3046
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3047
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3048
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3049
3050
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3051
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3052
3053
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3054
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3055
(Aaron Bentley)
3056
3057
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3058
3059
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3060
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3062
3063
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3064
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3065
3066
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3067
(Aaron Bentley)
3068
3069
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3070
#148087)
3071
3072
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3073
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3074
3075
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3076
#137681)
3077
3078
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3079
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3080
(Aaron Bentley)
3081
3082
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3083
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3085
3086
DOCUMENTATION:
3087
3088
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3089
(Ian Clatworthy)
3090
3091
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3092
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3093
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3094
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3095
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3096
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3097
3098
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3099
3100
INTERNALS:
3101
3102
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

3105
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3106
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3107
3108
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3109
3110
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3111
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3112
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3113
Robert Collins)
3114
3115
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3116
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3117
3118
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3119
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3120
3121
API BREAKS:
3122
3123
TESTING:
3124
3125
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3126
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3127
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3128
3129
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3130
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3131
(Robert Collins)
3132
3133
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3134
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3135
3136
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3137
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3138
3139
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3140
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3141
3142
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3143
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3144
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3147
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3148
3149
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3150
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3151
3152
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3153
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3154
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3155
3156
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3157
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3158
3159
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3160
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

3194
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3195
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3196
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3197
feedback but also incur more latency.

Nordhoff, #172612)
3230
3231
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3232
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3233
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3234
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3235
3236
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3237
(Kent Gibson)
3238
3239
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3240
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3241
3242
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3243
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3244
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3245
3246
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3247
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3248
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3249
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3250
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3251
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3252
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3253
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3254
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3255

INTERNALS:
3257
3258
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3259
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3260
3261
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3262
3263
BUGFIXES:
3264
3265
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3266
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3267
3268
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3269
filename to user.
3270
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3271
3272
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3273
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3274
required.
3275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3276
3277
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3279
3280
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3281
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3282
3283
API BREAKS:
3284
3285
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3286
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3290
---------------------
3291
3292
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3293
3294
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3295
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3296
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3297
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3298
3299
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3300
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3301
3302
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3303
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3304
3305
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3306
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3307
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3308
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3309
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3310
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3311
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3312
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3313
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3314
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3315
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3316
from any tree without problems.
3317
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3318
3319
CHANGES:
3320
3321
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3322
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3323
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3324
3325
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3326
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3327
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3328
(Martin Pool)
3329
3330
FEATURES:
3331
3332
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3333
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3334
supported transports.
3335
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3336
3337
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3338
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3339
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3340
3341
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3342
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3343
3344
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3345
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3346
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3347
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3348
3349
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3350
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3351
3352
PERFORMANCE:
3353
3354
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3355
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3356
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3357
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3358
3359
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3360
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3361
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3362
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3363
3364
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3365
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3366
3367
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3368
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3369
3370
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3371
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3372
3373
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3374
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3375
(Aaron Bentley)
3376
3377
IMPROVEMENTS:
3378
3379
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3380
(Aaron Bentley)
3381
3382
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3383
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3384
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3385
3386
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3387
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3388
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3389
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3390
3391
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3392
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3393
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3394
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3401
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3402
3403
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3404
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3405
3406
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3407
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3408
3409
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3411
3412
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3413
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3414
3415
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3416
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3417
3418
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3419
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3420
3421
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3422
(Aaron Bentley)
3423
3424
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3426
3427
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3428
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3430
3431
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3432
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3433
3434
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3435
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3436
3437
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3438
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3439
3440
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3442
3443
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3444
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3445
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3446
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3447
on them.
3448
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3449
3450
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3451
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3452
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3453
3454
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3455
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3456
3457
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3458
to be reconciled.
3459
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3460
3461
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3462
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3463
3464
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3465
specify a port in urls.
3466
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3467
3468
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3469
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3470
3471
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3472
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3473
3474
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3475
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3476
3477
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3478
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3479
3480
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3481
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3482
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3483
3484
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3485
3486
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3487
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3488
3489
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3490
Watkins, #152811)
3491
3492
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3493
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3494
3495
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3496
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3497
3498
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3499
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3500
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3501
3502
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3503
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3504
3505
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3506
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3507
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3508
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3509
3510
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3511
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3512
3513
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3514
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3515
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3516
3517
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3518
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3519
3520
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3521
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3522
3523
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3524
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3525
3526
API BREAKS:
3527
3528
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3529
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3530
3531
* The return value of
3532
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3533
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3534
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3535
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3538
(Robert Collins)
3539
3540
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3541
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3542
format.
3543
(Martin Pool)
3544
3545
INTERNALS:
3546
3547
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3548
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3549
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3550
Bennetts)
3551
3552
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3553
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3554
3555
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

3571
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3572
3573
CHANGES:
3574
3575
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3576
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3577
3578
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3579
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3580
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3581
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3582
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3583
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3584
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3585
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3586
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3587
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3588
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3589
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3590
(Robert Collins)
3591
3592
FEATURES:
3593
3594
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3595
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3596
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3597
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3598
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3599
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3600
3601
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3602
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3603
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3604
(Robert Collins)
3605
3606
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3607
3608
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3609
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3610
3611
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3612
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3613
(Aaron Bentley)
3614
3615
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3616
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3617
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3618
3619
PERFORMANCE:
3620
3621
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3622
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3623
3624
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3625
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3628
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3629
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3630
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3631
3632
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3633
(Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3636
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3637
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3638
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3639
3640
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3641
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3642
3643
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3644
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3645
3646
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3647
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3648
3649
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3650
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3651
3652
IMPROVEMENTS:
3653
3654
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3655
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3656
3657
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3658
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3659
3660
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3661
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3662
3663
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3664
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3665
3666
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3667
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3668
3669
DOCUMENTATION:
3670
3671
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3672
3673
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3674
(Ian Clatworthy)
3675
3676
BUG FIXES:
3677
3678
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3679
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3680
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3681
3682
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3683
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3684
3685
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3686
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3687
3688
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3689
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3690
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3691
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3692
3693
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3694
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3695
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3696
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3697
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3698
3699
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3700
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3701
paramiko.
3702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3703
3704
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3705
3706
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3707
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3708
3709
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3711
3712
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3714
3715
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3716
contains a symbolic link.
3717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3718
3719
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3720
(James Westby, #140615)
3721
3722
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3723
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3724
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3725
3726
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3727
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3728
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3729
3730
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3731
3732
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3733
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3734
3735
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3736
will remain opened.
3737
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3738
3739
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3740
directory to detect leaking tests.
3741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3742
3743
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3744
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3745
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3746
3747
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3748
(Rob Weir, #141629)
3749
3750
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3751
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3752
3753
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3754
Merwe)
3755
3756
API BREAKS:
3757
3758
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3759
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3760
3761
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3762
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3763
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3764
3765
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3766
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3767
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3768
3769
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3770
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3771
3772
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3773
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3774
3775
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3776
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3777
(Martin Pool)
3778
3779
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3780
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3781
3782
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3783
class that needs it.
3784
(Martin Pool)
3785
3786
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3787
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3788
3789
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3790
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3791
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3792
3793
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3794
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3795
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3796
(Robert Collins)
3797
3798
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3799
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3800
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3801
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3802
(Robert Collins)
3803
3804
INTERNALS:
3805
3806
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3807
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3808
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3809
3810
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3811
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3812
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3813
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3814
3815
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3816
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3817
(Robert Collins)
3818
3819
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3820
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3821
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3822
3823
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3824
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3825
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3826
3827
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3828
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3829
3830
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3831
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3832
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3833
3834
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3835
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3836
3837
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3838
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3839
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3840
3841
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3842
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3843
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3844
3845
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3846
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3847
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3848
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3849
3850
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3851
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3852
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3853
returned. (Robert Collins)
3854
3855
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3856
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3857
3858
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3859
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3860
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3861
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3862
(Robert Collins)
3863
3864
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3865
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3866
3867
TESTING:
3868
3869
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3870
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3871
3872
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3873
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3874
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3875
makes this behavior available to other users.
3876
(Martin Pool)
3877
3878
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3879
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3880
3881
3882
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3883
-------------------
3884
3885
BUG FIXES:
3886
3887
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3888
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3889
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3890
3891
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3892
3893
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3894
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3895
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3896
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3897
3898
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3899
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3900
(Andrew Bennetts)
3901
3902
3903
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3904
----------------------
3905
3906
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3907
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3908
3909
3910
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3911
----------------------
3912
3913
CHANGES:
3914
3915
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3916
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3917
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3918
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3919
(Martin Pool)
3920
3921
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3922
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3923
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3924
(Ian Clatworthy)
3925
3926
FEATURES:
3927
3928
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3929
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3930
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3931
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3932
3933
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3934
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3935
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3936
3937
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3938
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3939
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3940
3941
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3942
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3943
3944
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3945
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3946
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3947
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3948
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3949
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3950
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3951
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3952
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3953
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3954
3955
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3956
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3957
3958
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3959
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3960
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3961
3962
BUG FIXES:
3963
3964
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3965
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3966
3967
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3968
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3969
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3970
3971
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3972
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3973
3974
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3975
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3976
3977
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3978
(Aaron Bentley)
3979
3980
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3981
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3982
3983
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3984
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3985
3986
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3987
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3988
3989
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3990
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3991
3992
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3993
3994
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3995
Watkins, #106726)
3996
3997
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3998
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3999
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4000
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4001
4002
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4003
4004
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4005
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4006
#133548)
4007
4008
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4009
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4010
4011
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4012
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4013
#116143)
4014
4015
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4016
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4017
4018
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4019
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4020
4021
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4022
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4023
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4024
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4025
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4026
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4027
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4028
4029
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4030
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4031
4032
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4033
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4034
4035
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4036
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4037
4038
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4040
4041
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4042
connections.
4043
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4044
4045
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4046
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4047
4048
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4049
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4050
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4051
4052
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4053
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4054
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4055
4056
IMPROVEMENTS:
4057
4058
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4059
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4060
4061
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4062
(Aaron Bentley)
4063
4064
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4065
(Aaron Bentley)
4066
4067
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4068
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4069
4070
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4071
4072
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4073
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4074
4075
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4076
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4077
4078
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4079
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4080
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4081
space). (Robert Collins)
4082
4083
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4084
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4085
(Ian Clatworthy)
4086
4087
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4088
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4089
4090
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4091
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4092
4093
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4094
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4095
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4096
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4097
4098
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4099
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4100
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4101
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4102
4103
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4104
(Ian Clatworthy)
4105
4106
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4107
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4108
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4109
4110
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4111
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4112
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4113
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4114
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4115
4116
API BREAKS:
4117
4118
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4119
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4120
4121
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4122
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4123
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4124
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4125
affected. (Robert Collins)
4126
4127
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4128
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4129
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4130
(Robert Collins)
4131
4132
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4133
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4134
4135
TESTING:
4136
4137
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4138
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4139
4140
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4141
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4142
4143
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4144
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4145
4146
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4147
(Aaron Bentley)
4148
4149
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4150
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4151
4152
INTERNALS:
4153
4154
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4155
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4156
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4157
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4158
4159
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4160
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4161
4162
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4163
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4164
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4165
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4166
4167
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4168
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4169
present. (Robert Collins)
4170
4171
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4172
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4173
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4174
API. (Robert Collins)
4175
4176
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4177
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4178
(Robert Collins)
4179
4180
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4181
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4182
4183
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4184
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4185
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4186
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4187
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4188
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4189
4190
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4191
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4192
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4193
4194
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4195
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4196
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4197
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4198
protocol.
4199
4200
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4201
(Aaron Bentley)
4202
4203
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4204
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4205
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4206
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4207
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4208
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4209
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4210
4211
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4212
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4213
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4214
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4215
4216
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4217
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4218
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4219
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4220
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4221
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4222
4223
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4224
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4225
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4226
4227
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4228
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
4233
4234
IMPROVEMENTS:
4235
4236
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4237
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4238
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4239
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4240
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4241
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4242
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

4245
4246
API CHANGES:
4247
4248
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4249
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4250
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4251

4253
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4254
----------------------
4255
4256
BUGFIXES:
4257
4258
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4259
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4260
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4261
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4262
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4263
4264
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4266
4267
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4268
anymore.
4269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4270
4271
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4272
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4273
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4274
4275
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4276
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4277
#111664)
4278
4279
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4280
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4281
4282
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4283
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4284
4285
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4286
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4287
4288
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4289
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4290
4291
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4292
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4293
4294
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4295
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4296
4297
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4298
(Aaron Bentley)
4299
4300
IMPROVEMENTS:
4301
4302
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4303
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4304
4305
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4306
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4307
4308
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4309
the repository (Robert Collins)
4310
4311
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4312
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4313
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4314
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4315
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4316
4317
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4318
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4319
4320
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4321
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4322
(John Arbash Meinel)
4323
4324
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4325
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4326
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4327
about 10%).
4328
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4329
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4330
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4331
(John Arbash Meinel)
4332
4333
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4334
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4335
(Robert Collins)
4336
4337
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4338
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4339
4340
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4341
(Ian Clatworthy)
4342
4343
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4344
4345
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4346
4347
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4348
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4349
4350
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4351
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4352
Meinel)
4353
4354
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4355
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4356
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4357
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4358
4359
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4360
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4361
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4362
4363
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4364
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4365
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4366
4367
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4368
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4369
4370
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4371
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4372
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4373
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4374
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4375
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4376
(Ian Clatworthy)
4377
4378
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4379
(Alexander Belchenko)
4380
4381
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4382
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4383
4384
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4385
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4386
4387
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4388
4389
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4390
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4391
4392
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4393
4394
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4395
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4396
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4397
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4398
4399
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4400
4401
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4402
(Robert Collins)
4403
4404
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4405
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4406
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4407
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4408
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4409
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4410
4411
INTERNALS:
4412
4413
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4414
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4415
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4416
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4417
4418
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4419
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4420
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4421
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4422
tests have been refactored too.
4423
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4424
4425
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4426
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4427
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4428
list, it will.
4429
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4430
4431
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4432
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4433
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4434
4435
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4436
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4437
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4438
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4439
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4440
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4441
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4444
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4445
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4446
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4447
(John Arbash Meinel)
4448
4449
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4450
functionality for testing.
4451
4452
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4453
4454
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4455
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4456
4457
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4458
4459
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4460
(Robert Collins)
4461
4462
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4463
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4464
4465
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4466
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4467
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4468
4469
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4470
(Aaron Bentley)
4471
4472
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4473
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4474
4475
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4476
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4477
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4478
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4479
4480
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4481
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4484
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4485
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4486
4487
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4488
(Marius Kruger)
4489
4490
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4491
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4492
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4493
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4494
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4495
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4496
4497
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4498
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4499
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4500
many files. (Robert Collins)
4501
4502
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4503
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4504
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4505
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4506
4507
TESTING:
4508
4509
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4510
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4511
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4512
4513
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4514
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4515
4516
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4517
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4518
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

4534
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4535
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4536
4537
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4538
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4539
(James Westby, #122656)
4540
4541
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4542
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)

4546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4547
4548
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

4559
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4561

4563
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4564
(Kent Gibson, #4663)

4566
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4567
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4568
4569
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4571
4572
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4573
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4574
4575
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4576
4577
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4578
4579
IMPROVEMENTS:
4580
4581
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4582
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4583
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4584
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4585
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4586
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4587
4588
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4589
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4590
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4591
4592
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4593
(Elliot Murphy)
4594
4595
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4596
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4597
4598
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4599
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4600
4601
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4602
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4603
4604
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4605
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4606
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4607
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4608
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4609
4610
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4611
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4612
4613
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4614
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4615
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4616
4617
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4618
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4619
4620
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4621
4622
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4623
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4624
4625
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4626
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4627
(Robert Collins)
4628
4629
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4630
(Martin Pool)
4631
4632
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4633
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4634
4635
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4636
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4637
4638
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4639
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4640
4641
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4642
4643
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4644
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4645
4646
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

LIBRARY API BREAKS:
4650
4651
* Testing cleanups -
4652
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4653
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4654
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4655
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4656
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4657
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4658
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4659
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4660
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4661
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4662
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4663
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4664
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4665
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4666
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4667
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4668
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4669
(Robert Collins)
4670
4671
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4672
4673
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4674
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4675
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4676
4677
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4678
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4679
4680
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4681
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4682
4683
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4684
4685
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4686
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4687
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4688
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4689
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4690
same location. (Robert Collins)
4691
4692
INTERNALS:
4693
4694
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4695
4696
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4697
4698
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4699
4700
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4701
(Martin Pool)
4702
4703
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4704
(Martin Pool)
4705
4706
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4707
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4708
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4709
4710
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4711
4712
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4713
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4714
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4715
4716
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4717
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4718
4719
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4720
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4721
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4722
4723
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4724
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4725
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4726
4727
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4728
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4729
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4730
4731
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4732
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4733
Martin Pool)
4734
4735
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4736
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4737
4738
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4739
(Alexander Belchenko)
4740
4741
TESTING:
4742
4743
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4744
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4745
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4746
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4747
4748
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4749
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4750
testing. (Robert Collins)
4751
4752
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4753
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4754
4755
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4756
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4757
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4758
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4759
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4760
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4761
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4762
4763
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4764
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4765
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4766
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4767
4768
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4769
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4770
4771
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4772
avoid useless cloning.

4791
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4792
4793
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4794
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4795
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4796
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4797
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4798
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4799
and unlock() like so::
4800
4801
work_tree.lock_read()
4802
try:
4803
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4804
finally:
4805
work_tree.unlock()
4806
4807
INTERNALS:
4808
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4809
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4810
object.
4811
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4812
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4813
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4814
4815
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4816
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4817
too. (Robert Collins)
4818
4819
IMPROVEMENTS:
4820
4821
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4822
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4823
Aaron Bentley)
4824
4825
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4826
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4827
4828
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4829
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4830
4831
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4832
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4833
understanding what changes have occurred
4834
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4835
4836
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4837
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4838
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4839
4840
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4841
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4842
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4843
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4844
4845
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4846
#56322)
4847
4848
BUGFIXES:
4849
4850
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4851
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4852
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4853
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4854
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4855
4856
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4857
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4858
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4859
4860
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4861
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4862
4863
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4864
into account.
4865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4866
4867
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4868
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4869
4870
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4871
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4872
4873
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4874
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4875
4876
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4877
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4878
4879
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4880
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4881
4882
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4883
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4884
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4887
--------------------
4888
4889
BUGFIXES:
4890
4891
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4892
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4893
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4894
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4895
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4896
4897
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4898
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4899
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4900
4901
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4902
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4903
4904
IMPROVEMENTS:
4905
4906
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4907
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4908
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4909
4910
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4911
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4912
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4913
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4917
4918
BUGFIXES:
4919
4920
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4921
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4922
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4923
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4924
4925
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4926
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4927
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4928
4929
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4930
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4931
4932
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4933
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4934
4935
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4936
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

4939
-----------------------
4940
4941
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4942
4943
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4944
it could be recovered again.
4945
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4946
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4947
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4948
but not delete it.
4949
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4950
files.
4951
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4952
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4953
4954
IMPROVEMENTS:
4955
4956
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4957
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4958
4959
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4960
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4961
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4962
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4963
4964
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4965
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4966
4967
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4968
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4969
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4970
4971
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4972
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4973
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4974
4975
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4976
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4977
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4978
4979
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4980
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4981
Robert Collins)
4982
4983
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4984
Pool)
4985
4986
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4987
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4988
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4989
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4990
4991
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4992
(Robert Collins)
4993
4994
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4995
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4996
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4997
(Robert Collins)
4998
4999
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5000
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5001
5002
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5003
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5004
5005
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5006
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5007
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5008
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5009
(Robert Collins)
5010
5011
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5012
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5013
5014
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5015
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5016
5017
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5018
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5019
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5020
5021
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5022
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5023
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5024
5025
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5026
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5027
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5030
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5031
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5032
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5033
5034
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5035
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5036
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5037
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5038
5039
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5040
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5041
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5042
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5043
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5044
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5045
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5046
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5047
header(s).

5051
5052
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5053
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5054
5055
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5056
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5057
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5058
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5059
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5060
5061
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5062
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5063
5064
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5065
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5066
5067
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5068
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5069
5070
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5071
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5072
5073
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5074
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5075
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5076
(Robert Collins).
5077
5078
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5079
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5080
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5081
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5082
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5083
(Robert Collins)
5084
5085
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5086
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5087
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5088
5089
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5090
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5091
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5092
5093
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5094
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5095
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5096
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5097
5098
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5099
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5100
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5101
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5102
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5103
5104
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5105
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5106
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5107
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5108
5109
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5110
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5111
5112
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5113
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5114
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5115
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5116
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5117
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5118
5119
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5120
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5121
5122
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5123
help. (Robert Collins)
5124
5125
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5126
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5127
5128
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5129
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5130
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5131
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5132
(John Arbash Meinel)
5133
5134
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5135
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5136
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5137
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5138
useful. (Robert Collins)
5139
5140
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5141
(Andrew Bennetts)
5142
5143
BUGFIXES:
5144
5145
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5146
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5147
5148
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5149
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5150
5151
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5152
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5153
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5154
5155
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5156
(Aaron Bentley)
5157
5158
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5159
the file, and does it faster.
5160
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5161
5162
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5163
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5164
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5165
5166
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5167
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5168
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5169
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5170
5171
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5172
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5173
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5174
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5175
5176
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5177
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5178
5179
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5180
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5181
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5182
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5183
Arbash Meinel)
5184
5185
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5186
5187
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5188
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5189
5190
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5191
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5192
5193
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5194
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5195
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5196
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5197
security hole.
5198
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5199
5200
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5202
5203
TESTING:
5204
5205
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5206
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5207
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5208
5209
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5210
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5211
5212
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5213
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5214
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5215
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5216
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5217
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5218
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5219
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5220
5221
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5222
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5223
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5224
5225
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5226
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5227
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5228
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5229
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5230
access.
5231
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5232
5233
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5234
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5235
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5236
5237
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5238
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

5256
CHANGES:
5257
5258
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5259
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5260
(Martin Pool)
5261
5262
IMPROVEMENTS:
5263
5264
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5265
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5266
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5267
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5268
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5269
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5270
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5271
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5272
path. (vila)
5273
5274
INTERNALS:
5275
5276
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5277
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5278
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5279
5280
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5281
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5282
(Martin Pool)
5283
5284
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5285
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5286
(John Arbash Meinel)
5287
5288
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5289
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5290
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5291
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5292
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5293
5294
BUGFIXES:
5295
5296
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5297
(vila, #92195)
5298
5299
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5300
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5301
5302
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5303
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5304
5305
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5306
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5307
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5308
5309
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5310
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5311
5312
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5313
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5314
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5315
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5316
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5317
5318
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5319
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5320
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5321
5322
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

5326
-----------------------
5327
5328
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5329
5330
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5331
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5332
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5333
5334
IMPROVEMENTS:
5335
5336
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5337
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5338
5339
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5340
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5341
5342
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5343
5344
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5345
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5346
5347
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5348
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5349
5350
INTERNALS:
5351
5352
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5353
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
5354
5355
BUGFIXES:
5356
5357
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5358
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5359
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5360
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5361
5362
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5363
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5364
5365
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5366
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5367
5368
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5369
(Marien Zwart)
5370
5371
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

5375
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5376
-----------------------
5377
5378
SURPRISES:
5379
5380
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5381
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5382
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5383
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5384
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5385
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5386
5387
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5388
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5389
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5390
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5391
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5392
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5393
development.
5394
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5395
5396
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5397
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5398
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5399
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5400
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5401
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5402
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5403
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5404
5405
IMPROVEMENTS:
5406
5407
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5408
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5409
5410
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5411
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5412
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5413
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5414
does exist.
5415
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5416
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5417
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5418
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5419
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5420
5421
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5422
(Aaron Bentley)
5423
5424
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5425
(Aaron Bentley)
5426
5427
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5428
(Robert Collins)
5429
5430
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5431
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5432
(Aaron Bentley)
5433
5434
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5435
(Aaron Bentley)
5436
5437
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5438
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5439
5440
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5441
directory. (Martin Pool)
5442
5443
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5444
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5445
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5446
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5447
5448
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5449
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5450
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5451
in docs/configuration.txt.
5452
5453
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5454
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5455
bind location.
5456
5457
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5458
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5459
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5460
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5461
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5462
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5463
5464
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5465
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5466
5467
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5468
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5469
5470
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5471
(Aaron Bentley)
5472
5473
INTERNALS:
5474
5475
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5476
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5477
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5478
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5479
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5480
(John Arbash Meinel)
5481
5482
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5483
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5484
(Aaron Bentley)
5485
5486
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5487
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5488
(John Arbash Meinel)
5489
5490
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5491
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5492
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5493
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5494
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5495
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5496
5497
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5498
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5499
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5500
5501
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5502
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5503
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5504
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5505
repository.
5506
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5507
5508
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5509
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5510
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5511
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5512
5513
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5514
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5515
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5516
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5517
5518
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5519
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5520
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5521
5522
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5523
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5524
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5525
5526
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5527
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5528
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5529
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5530
5531
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5532
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5533
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5534
5535
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5536
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5537
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5538
5539
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5540
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5541
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5542
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5543
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5544
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5545
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5546
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5547
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

5551
BUGFIXES:
5552
5553
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5554
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5555
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5556
5557
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5558
(Aaron Bentley)
5559
5560
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5561
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5562
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5563
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5564
5565
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5566
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5567
#83954).
5568
5569
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5570
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5571
5572
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5573
5574
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5575
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5576
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5577
5578
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5579
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5580
5581
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5583
5584
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

5587
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5588
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5589

5593
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5594

TESTING:
5596
5597

5606
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5607
5608
BUG FIXES:
5609
5610
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5611
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5612
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5613
5614
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5615
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5616
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5620
-----------------------
5621
5622
IMPROVEMENTS:
5623
5624
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5625
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5626
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5627
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5628
5629
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5630
(Marius Kruger)
5631
5632
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5633
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5634
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5635
5636
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5637
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5638
5639
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5640
(Aaron Bentley)
5641
5642
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5643
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5644
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5645
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5646
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5647
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5648
5649
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5650
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5651
should enable you to do::
5652
5653
[/home/user/project]
5654
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5655
push_location:policy = appendpath
5656
5657
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5658
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5659
(James Henstridge)
5660
5661
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5662
for each file. For example::
5663
5664
$ bzr status --short
5665
A foo
5666
A bar
5667
D baz
5668
? wooley
5669
5670
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5671
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5672
5673
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5674
5675
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5676
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5677
5678
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5679
5680
INTERNALS:
5681
5682
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5683
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5684
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5685
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5686
5687
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5688
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5689
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5690
5691
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5692
5693
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5694
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5695
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5696
(Alexander Belchenko)
5697
5698
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5699
Pool)
5700
5701
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5702
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5703
5704
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5705
5706
BUG FIXES:
5707
5708
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5709
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5710
5711
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5712
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5713
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5714
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5715
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5716
5717
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5718
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5719
5720
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5721
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5722
5723
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5724
matcher.
5725
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5726
5727
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5728
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5729
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5730
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5731
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5732
5733
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5734
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5735
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5736
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5737
5738
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5739
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5740
5741
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5742
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5743
5744
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5745
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
5760
5761
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5762
tree from a branch.
5763
(Daniel Silverstone)
5764
5765
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5766
operations are substantially faster.
5767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5768
5769
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5770
tree from some other url. For example:
5771
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5772
(Daniel Silverstone)
5773
5774
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5775
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5776
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5777
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5778
5779
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5780
(Andrew Bennetts)
5781
5782
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5783
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5784
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5785
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5786
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5787
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5788
5789
INTERNALS:
5790
5791
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5792
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5793
(Martin Pool)
5794
5795
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5796
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5797
(John Arbash Meinel)
5798
5799
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5800
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5801
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5802
(John Arbash Meinel)
5803
5804
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5805
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5806
5807
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5808
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5809
5810
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5811
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5812
Bennetts)
5813
5814
BUG FIXES:
5815
5816
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5817
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5818
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5819
5820
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5821
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5822
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5823
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5824
5825
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5826
5827
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5828
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5829
5830
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5831
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5832
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5834
5835
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5836
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5837
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5838
5839
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5840
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5841
them as full references rather than integers.
5842
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5843
5844
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5845
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5846
5847
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5848
5849
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5850
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5851
5852
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5853
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5854
5855
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5856
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5857
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5858
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5859
5860
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5861
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5862
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5863
5864
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5865
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5866
5867
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5868
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5869
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5870
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5871
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5872
5873
TESTING:
5874
5875
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5876
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

5888
-----------------------
5889
5890
IMPROVEMENTS:
5891
5892
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5893
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5894
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5895
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5896
5897
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5898
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5899
5900
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5901
5902
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5903
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5904
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5905
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5906
5907
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5908
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5909
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5910
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5911
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5912
5913
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5914
5915
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5916
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5917
5918
INTERNALS:
5919
5920
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5921
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5922
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5923
5924
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5925
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5926
(John Arbash Meinel)
5927
5928
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5929
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5930
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5931
5932
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5933
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5934
(Aaron Bentley)
5935
5936
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5937
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5938
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5939
5940
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5941
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5942
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5943
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5944
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5945
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5946
5947
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5948
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5949
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5950
(Robert Collins)
5951
5952
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5953
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
5956
5957
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5958
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5959
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5960
#63360, #66349)
5961
5962
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5963
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5964
5965
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5966
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5967
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5968
5969
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5970
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5971
5972
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5973
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5974
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5975
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5976
5977
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5978
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5979
5980
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5981
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5982
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5983
5984
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5985
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5986
5987
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5988
5989
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5990
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5991
#32054)
5992
5993
TESTING:
5994
5995
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5996
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5997
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5998
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5999
6000
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6001
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6002
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6003
6004
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
6005
--------------------
6006
6007
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
6008
6009
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
6010
-----------------------
6011
6012
BUG FIXES:
6013
6014
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
6015
6016
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
6017
Arbash Meinel).
6018
6019
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
6020
-----------------------
6021
6022
IMPROVEMENTS:
6023
6024
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6025
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6026
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6027
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6028
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6029
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6030
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6031
6032
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6033
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6034
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6035
6036
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6037
6038
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6039
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6040
6041
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6042
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6043
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6044
(Robert Collins)
6045
6046
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6047
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6048
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6049
(John Arbash Meinel)
6050
6051
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6052
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6053
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6054
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6055
Pool)
6056
6057
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6058
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6059
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6060
(John Arbash Meinel)
6061
6062
BUG FIXES:
6063
6064
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6065
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6066
6067
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6068
6069
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6070
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6071
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6072
6073
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6074
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6075
6076
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6077
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6078
6079
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6081
6082
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6083
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6084
6085
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6086
6087
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6088
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6089
6090
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6091
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6092
6093
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6094
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6095
6096
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6097
(John Arbash Meinel)
6098
6099
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6100
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6101
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6102
6103
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6104
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6105
6106
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6107
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6108
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6109
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6110
6111
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6112
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6113
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6114
6115
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6116
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6117
6118
PORTABILITY:
6119
6120
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6121
6122
INTERNALS:
6123
6124
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6125
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6126
(John Arbash Meinel)
6127
6128
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6129
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6130
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6131
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6132
6133
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6134
(Andrew Bennetts)
6135
6136
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6137
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6138
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6139
6140
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6141
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6142
6143
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6144
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6145
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6146
6147
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6148
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6149
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6150
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6151
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6152
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6153
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6154
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6155
caller to repeat their request.
6156
(John Arbash Meinel)
6157
6158
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6159
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6160
6161
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6162
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6163
6164
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6165
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6166
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6167
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6168
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6169
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6170
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6171
6172
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6173
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6174
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6175
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6176
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6177
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6178
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6179
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6180
(Robert Collins)
6181
6182
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6183
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6184
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6185
6186
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6187
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6188
6189
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6190
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6191
6192
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6193
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6194
6195
TESTING:
6196
6197
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6198
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6199
6200
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6201
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6202
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6203
6204
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6205
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6206
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6207
6208
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
6209
--------------------
6210
6211
IMPROVEMENTS:
6212
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6213
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6214
6215
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6216
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6217
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6218
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6219
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6220
6221
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6222
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6223
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6224
6225
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6226
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6227
6228
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6229
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6230
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6231
6232
BUG FIXES:
6233
6234
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6235
6236
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6237
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6238
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6239
6240
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6241
6242
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6243
6244
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6245
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6246
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6247
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6248
6249
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6250
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6251
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6252
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6253
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6254
6255
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6256
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6257
6258
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6259
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6260
6261
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6262
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6263
6264
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6265
in handling of revision properties.
6266
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6267
6268
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6269
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6270
6271
INTERNALS:
6272
6273
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6274
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6275
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6276
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6277
(John Arbash Meinel)
6278
6279
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6280
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6281
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6282
6283
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6284
---------------------
6285
6286
SURPRISES:
6287
6288
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6289
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6290
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6291
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6292
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6293
a more conservative list than the old default.
6294
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6295
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6296
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6297
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6298
6299
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6300
to more locations than just branch locations.
6301
(Aaron Bentley)
6302
6303
IMPROVEMENTS:
6304
6305
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6306
revno:N:branch. For example,
6307
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6308
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6309
6310
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6311
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6312
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6313
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6314
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6315
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6316
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6317
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6318
#42517, #42514)
6319
6320
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6321
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6322
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6323
(Malone #3507)
6324
6325
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6326
(Alexander Belchenko)
6327
6328
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6329
6330
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6331
(Robert Collins).
6332
6333
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6334
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6335
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6336
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6337
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6338
(John Arbash Meinel)
6339
6340
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6341
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6342
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6343
grained analysis of performance.
6344
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6345
6346
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6347
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6348
6349
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6350
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6351
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6352
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6353
file. (Robert Collins).
6354
6355
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6356
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6357
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6358
6359
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6360
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6361
Matthieu Moy)
6362
6363
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6364
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6365
6366
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6367
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6368
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6369
the same way you would apply another branch.
6370
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6371
6372
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6373
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6374
6375
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6376
(Michael Ellerman)
6377
6378
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6379
(Aaron Bentley)
6380
6381
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6382
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6383
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6384
6385
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6386
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6387
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6388
6389
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6390
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6391
6392
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6393
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6394
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6395
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6396
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6397
6398
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6399
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6400
6401
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6402
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6403
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6404
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6405
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6406
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6407
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6408
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6409
6410
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6411
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6412
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6413
6414
BUG FIXES:
6415
6416
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6417
tests not to run.
6418
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6419
6420
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6421
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6422
6423
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6424
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6425
6426
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6427
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6428
6429
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6430
6431
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6432
(John Arbash Meinel)
6433
6434
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6435
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6436
6437
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6438
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6439
and y.
6440
6441
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6442
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6443
6444
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6445
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6446
6447
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6448
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6449
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6450
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6451
6452
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6453
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6454
6455
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6456
6457
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6458
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6459
6460
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6461
6462
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6463
6464
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6465
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6466
6467
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6468
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6469
6470
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6471
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6472
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6473
6474
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6475
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6476
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6477
6478
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6479
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6480
6481
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6482
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6483
6484
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6485
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6486
6487
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6488
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6489
6490
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6491
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6492
6493
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6494
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6495
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6496
6497
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6498
6499
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6500
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6501
6502
INTERNALS:
6503
6504
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6505
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6506
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6507
6508
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6509
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6510
6511
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6512
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6513
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6514
6515
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6516
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6517
6518
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6519
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6520
(Martin Pool)
6521
6522
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6523
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6524
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6525
6526
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6527
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6528
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6529
6530
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6531
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6532
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6533
6534
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6535
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6536
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6537
6538
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6539
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6540
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6541
6542
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6543
instead. (Robert Collins)
6544
6545
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

6560
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6561
6562
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6563
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6564
6565
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6566
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
6579
6580
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6581
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

6583
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6584
6585
NEW FEATURES:
6586
6587
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

6602
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
6603
-------------------
6604
6605
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6606
6607
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6608
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6609
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6610
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6611
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6612
will keep the same format.
6613
6614
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6615
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6616
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6617
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6618
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6619
6620
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6621
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6622
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6623
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6624
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6625
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6626
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6627
6628
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6629
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6630
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6631
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6632
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6633
6634
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6635
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6636
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6637
arrangement.
6638
6639
6640
IMPROVEMENTS:
6641
6642
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6643
convention. Paths now take the form::
6644
6645
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6646
or
6647
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6648
6649
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6650
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6651
6652
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6653
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6654
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6655
6656
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6657
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6658
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6659
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6660
6661
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6662
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6663
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6664
6665
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6666
6667
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6668
6669
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6670
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6671
commits::
6672
6673
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6674
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6675
| xargs bzr re-sign
6676
6677
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6678
6679
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6680
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6681
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6682
(Robert Collins)
6683
6684
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6685
6686
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6687
6688
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6689
'.moved'.
6690
6691
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6692
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6693
6694
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6695
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6696
Daniel Silverstone)
6697
6698
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6699
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6700
Martin Pool)
6701
6702
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6703
6704
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6705
6706
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6707
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6708
6709
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6710
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6711
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6712
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6713
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6714
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6715
6716
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6717
6718
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6719
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6720
(Robert Collins)
6721
6722
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6723
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6724
6725
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6726
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6727
6728
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6729
6730
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6731
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6732
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6733
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6734
specification by Martin Pool.
6735
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6736
6737
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6738
Belchenko)
6739
6740
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6741
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6742
6743
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6744
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6745
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6746
6747
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6748
6749
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6750
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6751
(Robert Collins)
6752
6753
CHANGES:
6754
6755
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6756
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6757
6758
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6759
6760
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6761
6762
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6763
(Olaf Conradi)
6764
6765
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6766
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6767
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6768
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6769
6770
INTERNALS:
6771
6772
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6773
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6774
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6775
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6776
6777
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6778
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6779
tried. (Martin Pool)
6780
6781
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6782
(Martin Pool)
6783
6784
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6785
6786
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6787
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6788
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6789
6790
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6791
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6792
6793
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6794
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6795
paths. (Robert Collins)
6796
6797
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6798
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6799
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6800
6801
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6802
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6803
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6804
6805
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6806
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6807
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6808
6809
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6810
(Olaf Conradi)
6811
6812
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6813
(Olaf Conradi)
6814
6815
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6816
6817
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6818
6819
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6820
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6821
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6822
(Robert Collins)
6823
6824
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6825
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6826
6827
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6828
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6829
check. (Robert Collins)
6830
6831
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6832
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6833
6834
TESTING:
6835
6836
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6837
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6838
6839
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6840
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6841
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6842
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6843
6844
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6845
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6846
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6847
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6848
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6849
6850
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6851
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6852
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6853
6854
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6855
6856
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6857
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

6860
------------------
6861
6862
CHANGES:
6863
6864
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6865
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6866
6867
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6868
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6869
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6870
(Johan Rydberg)
6871
6872
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6873
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6874
6875
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6876
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6877
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6878
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6879
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6880
6881
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6882
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6883
used. (Robert Collins)
6884
6885
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6886
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6887
(James Henstridge)
6888
6889
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6890
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6891
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6892
6893
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6894
ignore list.
6895
6896
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6897
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6898
6899
IMPROVEMENTS:
6900
6901
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6902
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6903
6904
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6905
6906
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6907
6908
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6909
tree. (Robert Collins)
6910
6911
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6912
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6913
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6914
(Robert Collins)
6915
6916
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6917
that they be kept.
6918
6919
* Tweaks to short log printing
6920
6921
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6922
(Aaron Bentley)
6923
6924
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6925
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6926
6927
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6928
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6929
6930
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6931
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6932
6933
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6934
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6935
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6936
6937
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6938
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6939
6940
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6941
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6942
requests.
6943
6944
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6945
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6946
6947
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6948
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6949
6950
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6951
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6952
6953
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6954
(Denys Duchier)
6955
6956
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6957
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6958
6959
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6960
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6961
6962
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6963
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6964
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6965
6966
BUG FIXES:
6967
6968
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6969
6970
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
6971
6972
* Error when run with -OO
6973
6974
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
6975
(Martin Pool)
6976
6977
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
6978
6979
* Change status to 3 for all errors
6980
6981
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
6982
ignored by diff and status
6983
6984
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
6985
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
6986
6987
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
6988
6989
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
6990
6991
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
6992
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
6993
6994
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
6995
email address. (Marien Zwart)
6996
6997
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
6998
(Harald Meland)
6999
7000
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7001
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7002
7003
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7004
7005
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7006
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7007
7008
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7009
(Martin Pool)
7010
7011
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7012
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7013
7014
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7015
7016
TESTING:
7017
7018
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7019
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7020
7021
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7022
7023
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7024
7025
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7026
7027
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7028
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7029
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7030
7031
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7032
7033
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7034
(John Arbash Meinel)
7035
7036
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7037
7038
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7039
If adding a new test script please add that to
7040
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7041
7042
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7043
imported. (Martin Pool)
7044
7045
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7046
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7047
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7048
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7049
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7050
(Robert Collins)
7051
7052
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7053
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7054
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7055
7056
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7057
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7058
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7059
7060
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7061
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7062
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7063
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7064
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7065
(Robert Collins).
7066
7067
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7068
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7069
(Robert Collins).
7070
7071
INTERNALS:
7072
7073
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7074
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7075
7076
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7077
function. (Robert Collins)
7078
7079
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7080
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7081
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7082
7083
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7084
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7085
(Robert Collins)
7086
7087
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7088
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7089
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7090
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7091
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7092
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7093
version. (Robert Collins)
7094
7095
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7096
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7097
7098
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7099
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7100
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7101
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7102
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7103
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7104
7105
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7106
(Robert Collins)
7107
7108
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7109
7110
add()
7111
commit()
7112
move()
7113
rename_one()
7114
unknowns()
7115
7116
(Robert Collins)
7117
7118
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7119
7120
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7121
7122
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7123
Pool)
7124
7125
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7126
query method. (Robert Collins)
7127
7128
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7129
(Denys Duchier)
7130
7131
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7132
(Michael Ellerman)
7133
7134
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7135
(Michael Ellerman)
7136
7137
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7138
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7139
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7140
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7141
7142
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7143
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7144
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7145
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7146
7147
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7148
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7149
7150
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
7151
------------------
7152
7153
IMPROVEMENTS:
7154
7155
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7156
(John A Meinel)
7157
7158
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7159
conflicts.
7160
(Aaron Bentley)
7161
7162
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7163
a separator, not ':'.
7164
(Aaron Bentley)
7165
7166
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7167
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7168
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7169
7170
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7171
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7172
(Robert Collins)
7173
7174
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7175
has been added that suppresses all output.
7176
7177
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7178
Adams.
7179
7180
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7181
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7182
7183
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7184
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7185
7186
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7187
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7188
7189
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7190
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7191
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7192
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7193
7194
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7195
7196
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7197
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7198
7199
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7200
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7201
7202
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7203
output directory, if one was supplied.
7204
7205
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7206
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7207
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7208
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7209
7210
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7211
7212
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7213
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7214
7215
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7216
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7217
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7218
7219
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7220
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7221
7222
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7223
(Aaron Bentley)
7224
7225
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7226
7227
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7228
7229
TESTING:
7230
7231
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7232
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7233
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7234
7235
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7236
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7237
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7238
7239
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7240
is given. (Martin Pool)
7241
7242
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7243
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7244
file. (Robert Collins)
7245
7246
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7247
(Martin Pool)
7248
7249
INTERNALS:
7250
7251
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7252
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7253
representation. (Martin Pool).
7254
7255
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7256
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7257
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7258
7259
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7260
(Robert Collins)
7261
7262
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7263
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7264
Magnus Therning.
7265
7266
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7267
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7268
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7269
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7270
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7271
7272
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7273
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7274
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7275
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7276
python path. (Robert Collins)
7277
7278
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7279
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7280
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7281
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7282
7283
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7284
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7285
7286
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7287
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7288
(Robert Collins)
7289
7290
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7291
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7292
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7293
7294
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7295
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7296
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7297
7298
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7299
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7300
7301
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7302
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7303
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7304
(Robert Collins)
7305
7306
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7307
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7308
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7309
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7310
(Robert Collins)
7311
7312
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7313
(Robert Collins)
7314
7315
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7316
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7317
(Robert Collins)
7318
7319
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7320
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7321
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7322
7323
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7324
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7325
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7326
7327
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7328
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7329
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7330
7331
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7332
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7333
7334
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7335
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7336
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7337
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7338
caller. (Robert Collins)
7339
7340
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7341
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7342
(Robert Collins).
7343
7344
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7345
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7346
(Aaron Bentley)
7347
7348
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7349
7350
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7351
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7352
7353
BUG FIXES:
7354
7355
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7356
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7357
7358
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7359
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7363
--------------------
7364
7365
BUG FIXES:
7366
7367
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7368
allow directories to be listed.
7369
7370
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7371
upgrading branch format.
7372
7373
PERFORMANCE:
7374
7375
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
7379
------------------
7380
7381
NOTES:
7382
7383
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7384
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7385
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7386
high-latency connections.
7387
7388
BUG FIXES:
7389
7390
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7391
Rob Weir.
7392
7393
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7394
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7395
7396
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7397
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7398
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7399
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7400
7401
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7402
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7403
7404
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7405
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7406
7407
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7408
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7409
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7410
7411
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7412
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7413
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7414
Robert Collins
7415
7416
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7417
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7418
7419
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7420
different partial views of history.
7421
7422
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7423
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7424
7425
IMPROVEMENTS:
7426
7427
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7428
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7429
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7430
7431
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7432
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7433
'bzr upgrade'.
7434
7435
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7436
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7437
7438
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7439
Niemeyer.
7440
7441
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7442
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7443
7444
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7445
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7446
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7447
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7448
7449
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7450
7451
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7452
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7453
Gustavo Niemeyer.
7454
7455
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7456
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7457
7458
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7459
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7460
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7461
7462
7463
INTERNALS:
7464
7465
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7466
for your viewing pleasure.
7467
7468
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7469
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7470
7471
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7472
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7473
handling of such circumstances.
7474
7475
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7476
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7477
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7478
7479
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7480
7481
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7482
we call them revisions not patches.
7483
7484
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7485
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7486
7487
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7488
giving the revision *of that file*.
7489
7490
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7491
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7492
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7493
7494
TESTING:
7495
7496
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7497
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7498
7499
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7500
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

7503
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7504
--------------------
7505
7506
BUG FIXES:
7507
7508
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7509
7510
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7511
(Robert Collins).
7512
7513
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7514
7515
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7516
7517
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7518
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7519
7520
IMPROVEMENTS:
7521
7522
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7523
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7524
7525
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7526
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7527
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7528
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7529
Robey Pointer
7530
7531
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7532
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7533
7534
INTERNALS:
7535
7536
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7537
7538
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7539
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

7541
7542
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7543
--------------------
7544
7545
IMPROVEMENTS:
7546
7547
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7548
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7549
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7550
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7551
Michael Ellerman.
7552
7553
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7554
(Nir Soffer)
7555
7556
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7557
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7558
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7559
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7560
for the operating system is still tried.
7561
7562
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7563
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7564
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7565
7566
7567
INTERNALS:
7568
7569
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7570
7571
BUG FIXES:
7572
7573
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7574
7575
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7576
branch.
7577
7578
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7579
read.
7580
7581
7582
PORTABILITY:
7583
7584

7594
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7595
help with intelligent shell completion.
7596
7597
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7598
7599
7600
ENHANCEMENTS:
7601
7602
* Much better merge support.
7603
7604
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7605
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7606
like emacs smerge.
7607
7608
7609
BUG FIXES:
7610
7611
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7612
mention revisions that are not present.
7613
7614
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7615
7616
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7617
7618
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7619
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7620
7621
7622
CHANGES:
7623
7624
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7625
7626
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7627
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7628
--help themselves.
7629
7630
7631
LIBRARY:
7632
7633
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging

7658
the Unix command.

7661
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7662
7663

7664
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7665
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)

7677
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7678
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7679
7680
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7681
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7682
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7683
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the

7704
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7705
line options must come before the command name because they
7706
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7707
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7708
it.
7709
7710
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
