and Stacked Branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
The Bazaar team is happy to announce availability of a new release of the bzr adaptive version control system. Thanks to everyone who contributed patches, suggestions, and feedback. Bazaar is now available for download from http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download as a source tarball; packages for various systems will be available soon. bzr 1.13 "paraskavedekatriaphobia" 2009-03-14 ----------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES FROM bzr 1.13rc1 2009-03-10: BUG FIXES: * Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing astackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
command may need to be adjusted.
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
NEW FEATURES:
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
(Martin Pool)
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can
focus
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered
views``
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format
gnu-changelog``. (Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
(John Arbash Meinel)
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the
"--author"
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer
Vernoij)
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
(Jonathan Lange)
IMPROVEMENTS:
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success.
Failure
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch
statistic,
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc)
will
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing
roundtrips
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a
separate
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
(Jelmer Vernooij)
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to
explain the
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it
cannot find a
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the
location
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo``
work as
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric
Gillespie)
BUG FIXES:
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example
because
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()``
rather
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
Vernooij, #315048)
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating
newline.
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-
integer
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
(James Westby, #174539)
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument
'source_branch'"
error branching from old repositories.
(Martin Pool, #321695)
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr
+ssh://``
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when
TERM
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it),
the ftp
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary
mode except
when needed.
(Vincent Ladeuil)
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
DOCUMENTATION:
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* Hooks can now be self documenting.
``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been
clarified.
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
API CHANGES:
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing
whitespace was
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the
other
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while
back
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in
the
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the
old
"author" argument being deprecated.
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be
passed
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify
exactly
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
now returns the first item that would be returned from the
second.
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin
Pool)
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent
(they
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
INTERNALS:
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
free of virtual file system methods.
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly
used
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
(Robert Collins, #334187)
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
stream the operation.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``,
rather
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of
the
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
branch object. (Robert Collins)
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
(Robert Collins)
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format
string.
(Robert Collins)
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat``
objects
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC
calls.
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs
``apply_scenarios``
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult
objects,
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is
compatible
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart
servers.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature
change
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
to access private data in record to obtain content more
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree
during
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
(Robert Collins)
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
--------------------------------
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
by showing the rate of network IO.
BUG FIXES:
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
DOCUMENTATION:
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
