- Released:
2007-06-18
Bugfixes¶

Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames. (Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
bzr 0.17rc1¶
- Released:
2007-06-12
Notes When Upgrading¶
The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This might impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know, particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read() and unlock() like so:
work_tree.lock_read() try: kind = work_tree.kind(...) finally: work_tree.unlock()
Internals¶
Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision object. In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when –show-ids is specified, and are labelled “revision-id:”, as per mainline revisions, instead of “merged:”. (Kent Gibson)
New
BranchBuilder
API which allows the construction of particular histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications too. (Robert Collins)
Improvements¶
There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
Added
bzr log --limit
to report a limited number of revisions. (Kent Gibson, #3659)Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
bzr log --short
now includes[merge]
for revisions which have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help understanding what changes have occurred (John Arbash Meinel, #83887)TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees, improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from 66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
New –create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins, #56322)
Bugfixes¶
bzr push
should only connect to the remote location one time. We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around the Transport object. This addsBzrDir.clone_on_transport()
, so that we can pass in the Transport that we already have. (John Arbash Meinel, #75721)DirState.set_state_from_inventory()
needs to properly order based on split paths, not just string paths. (John Arbash Meinel, #115947)Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout. (Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint into account. (Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
revision-info
now accepts dotted revnos, doesn’t require a tree, and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment. (Daniel Watkins, #111958)
bzr branch -r revid:foo
can be used to branch any revision in your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
