GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format gnu-=20 changelog``. Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight =20 Checkouts 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 a stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository =20 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 =20 focus on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered =20 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 =20= "--author" option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772) * New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer =20= Vernoij) * New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page =20 for that branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on =20 Launchpad at all. (Jonathan Lange) IMPROVEMENTS: * ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. =20 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 =20 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) =20= will stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing =20 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 =20 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 =20 explain the short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429) * ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it =20 cannot find a public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372) * ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the =20 location passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` =20 work as expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705) * ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric =20 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 =20 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()`` =20 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 =20= newline. (Beno=EEt PIERRE, #303569) * ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-=20 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 =20 'source_branch'" error branching from old repositories. (Martin Pool, #321695) * Make ``bzr push --quiet `` less chatty. (Kent Gibson, #221461) * Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr=20 +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 =20= 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), =20= the ftp transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary =20 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. =20 ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook`` is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins) * The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been =20 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 =20 whitespace was updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the =20= 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 =20= back we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in =20= 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 =20= 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 =20 passed to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify =20 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 =20 second. * The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp`` parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin =20= Pool) * The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on ``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent =20 (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 =20 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()``, =20 rather than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of =20= 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 =20 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`` =20 objects now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC =20 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 =20 ``apply_scenarios`` and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins) * ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the ``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult =20 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 =20 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 =20 servers. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins) * ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and ``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins) * ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature =20 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 =20 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``.
