IN DEVELOPMENT
IMPROVEMENTS:
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
(Aaron Bentley)
INTERNALS:
BUG FIXES:
bzr 0.13 2006-12-05
No changes from 0.13rc1
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
IMPROVEMENTS:
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
tree from a branch.
(Daniel Silverstone)
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
operations are substantially faster.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
tree from some other url. For example:
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
(Daniel Silverstone)
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
(Andrew Bennetts)
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
INTERNALS:
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
(Martin Pool)
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
Bennetts)
BUG FIXES:
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
#64789)
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
TESTING:
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
INTERNALS:
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
(John Arbash Meinel)
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
IMPROVEMENTS:
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
server, then you can write over the http connection.
(Andrew Bennetts)
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
Simó)
API INCOMPATABILITY:
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
INTERNALS:
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
(Robert Collins)
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
BUG FIXES:
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
#63360, #66349)
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
#32054)
TESTING:
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
BUG FIXES:
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
Arbash Meinel).
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
(Robert Collins)
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
Pool)
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
(John Arbash Meinel)
BUG FIXES:
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
PORTABILITY:
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
INTERNALS:
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
(Andrew Bennetts)
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
(Robert Collins)
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
TESTING:
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
Robert Collins)
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
IMPROVEMENTS:
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
BUG FIXES:
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
#54723)
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
INTERNALS:
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
SURPRISES:
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
specific one '.bzrignore'.
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
a more conservative list than the old default.
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
to more locations than just branch locations.
(Aaron Bentley)
IMPROVEMENTS:
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
revno:N:branch. For example,
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
the path of a file that has been versioned.
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
#42517, #42514)
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
(Malone #3507)
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
(Alexander Belchenko)
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
(Robert Collins).
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
grained analysis of performance.
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
file. (Robert Collins).
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
Matthieu Moy)
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
the same way you would apply another branch.
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
(Michael Ellerman)
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
(Aaron Bentley)
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
branch is as much as 4x faster.
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
BUG FIXES:
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik BÃ¥gfors, Michael Ellerman,
Martin Pool)
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
and y.
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
INTERNALS:
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
(Martin Pool)
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
instead. (Robert Collins)
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
BUG FIXES:
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
BUG FIXES:
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
Robert Collins, Erik BÃ¥gfors, #43959)
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
CHANGES:
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
CHANGES:
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
NEW FEATURES:
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
INTERNALS:
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
TESTING:
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
will keep the same format.
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
indicating the current revision of the branch.
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
arrangement.
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
convention. Paths now take the form:
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
or
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
Niedermann)
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik BÃ¥gfors)
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik BÃ¥gfors)
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
| xargs bzr re-sign
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
(Robert Collins)
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
'.moved'.
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
their own formatters. (Erik BÃ¥gfors)
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
Daniel Silverstone)
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
Martin Pool)
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik BÃ¥gfors, Robert Collins)
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
(Robert Collins)
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
specification by Martin Pool.
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
Belchenko)
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
(Robert Collins)
CHANGES:
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
(Olaf Conradi)
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
INTERNALS:
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
tried. (Martin Pool)
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
(Martin Pool)
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
paths. (Robert Collins)
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
needs. (Robert Collins)
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
* Progress bars are now nested - see
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
(Olaf Conradi)
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
(Olaf Conradi)
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
(Robert Collins)
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
check. (Robert Collins)
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
TESTING:
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
CHANGES:
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
(Johan Rydberg)
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
used. (Robert Collins)
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
(James Henstridge)
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
ignore list.
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
IMPROVEMENTS:
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
tree. (Robert Collins)
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
(Robert Collins)
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
that they be kept.
* Tweaks to short log printing
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
(Aaron Bentley)
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
occurs. (Martin Pool)
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
settings. (Magnus Therning)
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
requests.
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
(Denys Duchier)
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
BUG FIXES:
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
* Error when run with -OO
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
(Martin Pool)
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
* Change status to 3 for all errors
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
ignored by diff and status
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
email address. (Marien Zwart)
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
Meland)
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
Pool)
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
Heen, Martin Pool)
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
TESTING:
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
If adding a new test script please add that to
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
imported. (Martin Pool)
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
(Robert Collins)
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
(Robert Collins).
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
(Robert Collins).
INTERNALS:
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
function. (Robert Collins)
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
if needed). (Robert Collins)
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
version. (Robert Collins)
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
(Robert Collins)
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
add()
commit()
move()
rename_one()
unknowns()
(Robert Collins)
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
Pool)
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
query method. (Robert Collins)
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
(Denys Duchier)
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
(Michael Ellerman)
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
(Michael Ellerman)
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
IMPROVEMENTS:
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
(John A Meinel)
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
conflicts.
(Aaron Bentley)
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
a separator, not ':'.
(Aaron Bentley)
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
(Robert Collins)
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
has been added that suppresses all output.
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
Adams.
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
Goffredo Baroncelli.
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
a revision. (Robert Collins)
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
output directory, if one was supplied.
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
parameters. (Robert Collins)
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
(Aaron Bentley)
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
TESTING:
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
related questions. (Robert Collins)
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
is given. (Martin Pool)
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
file. (Robert Collins)
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
(Martin Pool)
INTERNALS:
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
representation. (Martin Pool).
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
(Robert Collins)
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
Magnus Therning.
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
python path. (Robert Collins)
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
Collins)
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
(Robert Collins)
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
(Robert Collins)
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
Collins)
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
(Robert Collins)
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
caller. (Robert Collins)
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
(Robert Collins).
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
BUG FIXES:
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
BUG FIXES:
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
allow directories to be listed.
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
upgrading branch format.
PERFORMANCE:
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
NOTES:
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
high-latency connections.
BUG FIXES:
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
Rob Weir.
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
for files with only a change to their executable status.
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
Robert Collins
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
different partial views of history.
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
IMPROVEMENTS:
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
'bzr upgrade'.
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
Niemeyer.
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
Gustavo Niemeyer.
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
Contributed by Robert Collins.
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
INTERNALS:
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
for your viewing pleasure.
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
handling of such circumstances.
TESTING:
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
(Robert Collins).
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
Robey Pointer
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
INTERNALS:
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
Michael Ellerman.
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
Nir Soffer.
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
for the operating system is still tried.
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
INTERNALS:
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
branch.
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
read.
PORTABILITY:
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
NEW FEATURES:
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
help with intelligent shell completion.
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
ENHANCEMENTS:
* Much better merge support.
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
like emacs smerge.
BUG FIXES:
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
mention revisions that are not present.
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
CHANGES:
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
--help themselves.
LIBRARY:
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
libraries.
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
NEW FEATURES:
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
FOO.
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
the Unix command.
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
ENHANCEMENTS:
* Faster working tree operations.
CHANGES:
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
standard plugins directory.
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
disk.
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
line options must come before the command name because they
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
it.
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
is available with ``--short``.
BUG FIXES:
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
CHANGES:
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
with the ``--forward`` option.
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
field.
ENHANCEMENTS:
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
either read or write mode.
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
affected that file.
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
suggested by LarstiQ.
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
a filename.
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
haven't changed since the previous time.
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
options through to an external GNU diff.
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
their contents.
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
from a branch.
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
metacharacters.
TESTING:
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
the tests.
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
under a different version.
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
INTERNAL:
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
Scott James Remnant.
* Better help messages for many commands.
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
* New AtomicFile class.
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
PORTABILITY:
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2.4 is now only recommended.
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
ENHANCEMENTS:
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
* More default ignore patterns.
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
by Jason Diamon.
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
CHANGES:
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
there are DNS problems.
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
BUG FIXES:
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
trailing newlines properly.
INTERNAL:
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
Matt Brubeck.
* More tests in test.sh.
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
directory and delete it when done.
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
PORTABILITY:
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
Bennetts.
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
from QuantumG.
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
ENHANCEMENTS:
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
in the tree.
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
and/or directory.
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
directory.
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
CHANGES:
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
will do for now.)
PORTABILITY:
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
Nielsen.
INTERNAL:
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
TESTING:
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
bzr-0.0.2.1
PORTABILITY:
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
ENHANCEMENTS:
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
rather than replacing it.
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
* More help topics.
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
branch.
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
* Performance improvements.
* New global --profile option.
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
the root directory only.
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
ENHANCEMENTS:
* More information from info command.
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
committing to stores.
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
BUG FIXES:
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
PORTABILITY:
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
installation easier.
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
supported).
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
ENHANCEMENTS:
* First public release.
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
diff, status, etc.
