:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
21
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
23
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
24
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
25
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
26
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
28
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
29
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
31
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
36
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
41
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
46
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
52
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
55
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
57
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
59
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
60
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
62
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
64
(Martin Pool, #491763)
69
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
70
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
71
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
72
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
73
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
74
(case-sensitive) as false.
75
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
77
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
78
be interpreted as a boolean.
87
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
88
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
91
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
92
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
93
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
94
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
95
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
102
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
103
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
104
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
105
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
107
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
109
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
110
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
111
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
112
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
117
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
118
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
121
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
122
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
124
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
125
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
133
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
134
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
135
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
136
of these would be welcome.

:2.2b2: NOT RELEASED YET
151
28
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
152
29
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
154
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
155
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
156
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
157
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
159
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
160
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
162
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
163
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
164
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
166
31
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
167
32
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
169
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
172
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
175
34
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
176
35
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.

which is not installed any more" error.

41
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
184
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
185
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
186
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
187
errors after two window resizes.
190
43
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
191
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
44
that are not part of the ancestry anymore.
193
45
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
195
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.

happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
528
377
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
533
:2.1.2: NOT RELEASED YET
538
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
539
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
541
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
543
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
545
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
546
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
547
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
548
errors after two window resizes.
554
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
555
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
556
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
557
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor

788
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
983
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
988
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
989
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
990
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
992
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
993
both working tree and branch.
994
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
996
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
997
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
998
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1000
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1001
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1002
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1003
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1004
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1011
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1012
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1013
earlier 2.0 releases.
