:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
or until the following stable release.
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
New Features
************
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
(Martin Pool, #391411)
Bug Fixes
*********
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
(Martin Pool, #123688)
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
(Robert Collins, #282402)
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
(Martin Pool, #408201)
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
(Robert Collins, #187207)
Improvements
************
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
(Marius Kruger)
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
(John Arbash Meinel)
Documentation
*************
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
API Changes
***********
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
passwords. (Martin Pool)
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
(Martin Pool)
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
UIFactory.
(Martin Pool)
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
Internals
*********
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
paths. (Robert Collins)
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
disk. (Robert Collins)
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
it. (Robert Collins)
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
(Alexander Belchenko)
Testing
*******
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
(Martin Pool, #409684)
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
(Martin Pool, #408199)
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.16.1 2009-06-26
#####################
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
intermittently.
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
Bug Fixes
*********
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
converted data. (Robert Collins)
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
that. (Robert Collins)
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
repository. (Robert Collins)
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
bug fixes and improvements.
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
*********************************
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
2a can work correctly.
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
Compatibility Breaks
********************
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
New Features
************
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
in bzr 2.0.
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
and more concisely repacks the full history.
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
before the stacked-on branches. (See \
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
Improvements
************
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
* diff (2X faster)
* tags (70X faster)
(Ian Clatworthy)
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
Bug Fixes
*********
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
bug-free) methods.
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
Documentation
*************
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
API Changes
***********
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
Internals
*********
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
repositories. (Martin Pool)
Testing
*******
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)

:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
:1.15: 2009-05-22
:1.15.1: 2009-06-09
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
revisions introduce the exact same line.
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
*****************************
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
(Alexander Belchenko)
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
*********************************
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
*********************************
* No changes
Compatibility Breaks
********************
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
New Features
************
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
(Jelmer Vernooij)
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
(Jelmer Vernooij)
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
Improvements
************
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
server. (Jonathan Lange)
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
Bug Fixes
*********
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
(Robert Collins, #368921)
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
Documentation
*************
API Changes
***********
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
(Alexander Belchenko)
Internals
*********
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
encoding. (Robert Collins)
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
(Robert Collins)
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
configuration. (Robert Collins)
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
branches. (Robert Collins)
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
Testing
*******
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
Changes from 1.14rc1 to 1.14rc2
*******************************
* Fix for bug 358037 Revision not in
bzrlib.groupcompress.GroupCompressVersionedFiles (Brian de Alwis,
John A Meinel)
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* Fix for bug 355280 eol content filters are never loaded and thus never
applied (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)
* bzr.dev -r4280 Change _fetch_uses_deltas = False for CHK repos until we can
write a better fix. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins)
* Fix for bug 361574 uncommit recommends undefined --levels and -n options
(Marius Kruger, Ian Clatworthy)
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
Compatibility Breaks
********************
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
New Features
************
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
directory, not just the directory object itself.
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
(Aaron bentley)
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
(Aaron Bentley)
Improvements
************
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
the data when the target repository does not need topological
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
#294479)
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
(Jonathan Lange)
Bug Fixes
*********
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
#313028)
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
(Andrea Bolognani)
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
(James Westby, #341558)
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
Documentation
*************
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
(James Westby, #336998)
API Changes
***********
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
(Martin Pool)
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
(Robert Collins)
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
(Jelmer Vernooij)
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
Meinel, Robert Collins)
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
(Jean-Francois Roy)
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
(Martin Pool)
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
Testing
*******
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
(Vincent Ladeuil)
Internals
*********
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
dependency. (Robert Collins)
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
(Robert Collins)
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
(Jelmer Vernooij)
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
(Andrew Bennetts)
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
Vincent Ladeuil)
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
desired. (Robert Collins)
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
