Compatibility Breaks
14
14
********************
16
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
17
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
18
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
19
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
20
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
21
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
24
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
25
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
27
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
29
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
30
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Robert Collins)
31
47
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
49
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
50
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
51
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
53
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
54
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
55
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
56
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
57
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
59
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
60
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
61
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
62
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
67
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
68
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
69
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
36
71
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
72
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
74
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
76
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
77
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
78
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
80
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
81
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
41
83
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
84
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
86
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
88
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
89
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
90
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
91
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
92
(Robert Collins, #583667)
94
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
95
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
96
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
46
98
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
99
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
101
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
104
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
52
107
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
53
108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
56
111
versions before 1.6.
57
112
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
114
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
115
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
116
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
59
118
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
60
119
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
121
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
122
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
123
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
125
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
126
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
127
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
128
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
130
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
131
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
132
to support this efficiently.
133
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
62
135
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
63
136
more comprehensible.
64
137
(Martin Pool, #491763)
139
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
140
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
142
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
143
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
145
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
146
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
148
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
150
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
151
(Robert Collins, #558343)
153
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
154
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
155
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
156
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
74
166
(case-sensitive) as false.
75
167
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
169
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
170
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
171
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
77
173
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
78
174
be interpreted as a boolean.
195
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
196
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
197
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
198
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
199
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
200
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
202
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
203
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
204
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
205
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
206
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
207
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
208
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
213
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
214
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
215
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
216
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
218
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
102
221
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
103
222
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
104
223
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
111
230
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
112
231
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
233
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
234
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
235
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #66923)
240
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
241
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
117
244
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
118
245
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
544
682
errors after two window resizes.
545
683
(Andrew Bennetts)
685
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
686
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
688
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
689
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
691
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
692
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
693
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
694
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
993
1142
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
994
1143
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1145
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1146
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
996
1148
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
997
1149
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
998
1150
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
999
1151
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1000
1152
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1154
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1155
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1156
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1157
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1159
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1160
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1161
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
