:2.3b1: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
18
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
19
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
20
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
21
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
23
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
24
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
25
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
26
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
28
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
29
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
31
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
35
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
36
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
39
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
40
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
41
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
44
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
45
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
47
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
49
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
50
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
51
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
52
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
53
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
55
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
56
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
58
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
63
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
64
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
71
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
72
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
73
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
75
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
76
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
78
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
79
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
80
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
81
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
82
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
84
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
85
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
86
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
87
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
89
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
90
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
95
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
96
(MatthƤus G. Chajdas, #234708)
98
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
99
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
101
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
102
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
103
marked versioned too.
104
(Martin Pool, #192859)
106
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
107
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
109
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
111
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
112
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
113
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
115
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
116
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
118
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
119
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
121
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
122
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
124
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
125
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
126
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
127
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
128
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
130
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
131
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
133
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
134
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
135
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
137
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
138
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
140
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
141
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
143
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
144
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
145
(Martin Pool, #192859)
147
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
148
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
149
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
150
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
152
* Fix signature of RemoteBzrDir.create_workingtree to match that of its
153
superclass. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #524627)
155
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
156
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
158
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
159
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
161
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
162
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
165
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
166
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
167
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
168
(Martin [gz], #631350)
170
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
171
(Martin Pool, #98735)
173
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
176
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
177
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
178
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
179
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
181
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
182
users to attach to their own processes by default.
183
(Martin Pool, #626679)
185
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
186
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
187
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
189
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
190
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
193
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
194
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
199
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
200
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
201
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
202
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
203
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
205
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
206
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
209
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
210
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
211
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
212
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
213
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
216
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
217
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
218
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
220
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
221
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
222
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
224
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
225
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
226
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
227
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
228
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
229
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
231
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
232
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
233
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
238
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
239
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
240
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
242
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
243
to make the tests conditional.
246
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
247
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
248
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
253
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
254
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
255
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
256
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
259
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
260
relative change in revno.
263
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
264
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
265
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
267
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
268
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
269
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
270
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
271
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
272
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
273
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
274
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
276
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
277
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
279
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
280
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
286
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
292
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
293
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
295
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
296
possible to extend the reporting. (Marting [gz], #633462)
298
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
299
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
302
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
303
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
304
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
305
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
306
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
307
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
308
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
315
:2.2.1: NOT RELEASED YET
320
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
321
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
322
marked versioned too.
323
(Martin Pool, #192859)
325
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
326
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
328
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
329
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
331
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
332
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
333
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
335
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
336
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
337
(Martin Pool, #192859)
339
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
340
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
341
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
342
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
344
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
345
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
346
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
347
(Martin [gz], #631350)
355
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
356
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
357
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
362
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
372
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
373
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
374
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
375
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
376
supported for another 6 months.)
378
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
379
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
381
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
382
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
383
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
384
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
385
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
386
readonly operations).
388
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
393
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
394
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
395
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
396
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
397
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
399
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
400
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
401
macrobenchmark suite.
407
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
408
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
410
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
412
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
413
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
416
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
417
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
419
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
420
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
422
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
423
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
424
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
425
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
427
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
428
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
433
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
434
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
436
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
437
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
438
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
443
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
444
points to Python regular expression documentation.
445
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
450
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
455
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
456
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
457
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
462
:Codename: Monkey Magic
466
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
467
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
468
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
469
stable and compatible plugin versions.
471
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
472
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
475
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
476
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
482
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
483
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
484
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
485
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
486
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
487
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
489
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
490
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
491
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
492
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
495
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
496
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
497
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
504
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
505
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
506
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
511
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
512
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
513
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
515
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
516
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
517
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
519
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
520
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
522
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
523
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
524
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
526
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
527
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
528
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
530
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
531
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
533
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
534
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
536
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
537
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
539
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
540
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
542
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
543
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
544
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
546
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
547
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
548
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
550
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
551
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
552
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
553
(Robert Collins, #177500)
555
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
556
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
557
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
559
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
561
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
562
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
564
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
565
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
567
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
568
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
571
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
572
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
573
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
574
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
575
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
577
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
578
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
579
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
580
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
582
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
583
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
585
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
586
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
587
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
588
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
593
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
594
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
595
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
597
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
598
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
599
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
600
(Robert Collins, #201613)
602
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
603
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
604
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
605
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
606
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
608
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
609
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
610
(Martin Pool, #340394)
612
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
613
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
614
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
615
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
621
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
623
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
624
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
625
development). (Robert Collins)
627
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
628
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
633
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
634
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
635
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
636
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
638
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
639
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
640
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
643
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
644
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
645
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
647
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
648
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
649
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
652
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
653
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
654
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
656
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
657
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
658
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
659
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
660
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
662
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
663
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
664
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
669
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
670
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
671
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
672
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
675
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
677
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
678
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
679
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
681
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
682
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
688
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
689
to test. (Martin Pool)
691
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.
692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #595587)
699
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
700
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
701
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
702
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
703
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
704
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
705
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
706
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
712
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
713
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
714
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
715
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
716
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
717
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
720
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
721
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
722
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
724
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
725
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
726
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
728
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
729
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
730
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
735
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
737
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
739
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
740
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
741
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
742
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
744
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
745
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
747
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
749
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
750
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
751
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
753
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
754
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
755
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
756
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
757
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
759
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
760
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
761
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
762
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
764
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
765
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
766
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
773
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
774
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
775
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
777
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
778
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
780
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
782
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
783
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
784
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
786
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
787
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
789
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
790
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
794
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
795
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
796
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
797
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
798
(Robert Collins, #583667)
800
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
801
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
802
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
804
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
807
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
810
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
813
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
814
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
815
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
817
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
819
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
822
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
824
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
826
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
827
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
828
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
830
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
831
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
833
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
834
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
835
(Andrew Bennetts, ŠŠ°Š½ŠøŠ»Š¾ ŠØŠµŠ³Š°Š½, #582781)
837
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
838
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
839
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
840
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
842
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
843
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
844
to support this efficiently.
845
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
847
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
849
(Martin Pool, #491763)
851
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
852
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
854
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
855
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
857
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
858
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
860
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
862
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
863
(Robert Collins, #558343)
865
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
866
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
867
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
868
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
873
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
874
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
875
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
876
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
877
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
878
(case-sensitive) as false.
879
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
881
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
882
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
883
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
885
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
886
be interpreted as a boolean.
889
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
890
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
891
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
892
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
893
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
898
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
899
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
902
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
903
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
904
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
905
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
906
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
910
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
911
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
912
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
913
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
914
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
915
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
917
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
918
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
919
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
920
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
921
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
922
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
923
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
928
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
929
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
930
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
931
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
933
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
936
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
937
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
938
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
939
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
941
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
943
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
944
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
945
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
946
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
948
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
949
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
950
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)
955
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
956
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
959
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
960
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
962
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
963
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
966
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
967
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
975
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
976
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
977
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
978
of these would be welcome.
984
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
985
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
990
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
991
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
992
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
993
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
996
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
997
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
998
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
999
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
1001
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1002
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1004
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
1005
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
1006
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
1008
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
1009
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
1011
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
1012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
1014
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
1017
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
1018
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
1019
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
1021
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
1022
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
1023
which is not installed any more" error.
1024
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
1026
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1027
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1028
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1029
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1032
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1033
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
1037
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
1038
(Martin von Gagern, #387117)
1043
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1044
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1045
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1047
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1048
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1051
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1054
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1057
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1058
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1059
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1060
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1061
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1063
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1064
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1065
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1067
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
1069
(Martin Pool, #553017)
1074
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
1075
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1078
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
1079
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1084
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1085
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1086
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1087
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
1095
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1096
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1097
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1098
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1100
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1101
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1102
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1103
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1104
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1105
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1106
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1107
through the 2.2 series.
1109
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1110
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1111
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1113
Compatibility Breaks
1114
********************
1116
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1117
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
17
1119
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
18
1120
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
21
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` has been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1123
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1124
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
23
* ``Repository.get_revision_xml()`` has been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1126
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1127
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
25
1129
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
26
1130
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
75
1276
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
76
1277
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1279
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1280
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1282
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1283
the debugger won't kill the session.
1284
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1286
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1287
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1289
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1290
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1291
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1293
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
1294
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1299
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1300
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1303
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1304
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1306
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1307
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1309
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1310
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1311
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1312
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
81
1314
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
82
1315
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
83
1316
to be done separately.
84
1317
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1319
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1320
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1323
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1324
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1326
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1327
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
1329
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
86
1332
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
1338
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1339
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1341
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1342
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1343
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1345
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1346
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1347
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1348
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1351
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1352
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1354
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1355
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1357
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1358
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
92
* New `bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff` can make assertions about what
1364
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1365
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1366
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1368
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1371
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1372
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1375
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
93
1376
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
94
1377
dependency regressions.
1380
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1381
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
97
1383
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
98
1384
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1386
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1387
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1388
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1389
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1390
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1391
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)

Compatibility Breaks
1400
********************
1408
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1409
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1410
marked versioned too.
1411
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1413
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
1414
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
1415
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
1417
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1418
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1420
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
1421
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
1422
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
1424
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1425
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1426
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1428
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1429
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1430
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1431
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1433
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
1434
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
1435
and the progress message. (Martin Pool)
1437
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1438
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1440
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
1441
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
1446
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
1447
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1452
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
1453
points to Python regular expression documentation.
1454
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
1459
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
1467
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
1468
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
1469
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
1476
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
1477
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
1478
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
1483
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1484
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1485
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1487
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1488
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1490
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1491
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1492
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1494
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1496
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1497
versions before 1.6.
1498
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1500
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1501
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1502
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1503
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1506
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1507
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1509
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1510
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1512
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1513
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1514
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1515
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1520
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1521
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1522
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1523
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1525
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1533
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
1534
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
1539
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1540
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1541
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1542
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1544
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1545
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1547
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1549
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1552
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1553
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1555
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1557
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1558
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1559
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1561
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1562
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1563
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1564
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1565
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1567
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1568
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1570
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1571
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
1572
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
1577
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1579
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
1581
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
1582
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
1587
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1588
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1589
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
