11
:Codename: Monkey Magic
12
:2.2b4: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
18
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
19
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
25
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
26
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
27
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
32
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
33
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
34
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
36
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
37
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
39
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
40
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
41
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
43
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
44
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
46
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
47
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
48
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
50
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
51
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
52
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
54
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
55
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
56
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
57
(Robert Collins, #177500)
59
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
60
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
62
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
63
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
65
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
66
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
69
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
70
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
71
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
72
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
73
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
78
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
79
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
80
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
82
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
83
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
84
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
85
(Robert Collins, #201613)
87
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
88
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
89
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
90
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
96
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
98
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
99
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
100
development). (Robert Collins)
105
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
106
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
107
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead.
110
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
111
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
112
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
113
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
114
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
116
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
117
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
118
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
123
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
11
:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
134
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
135
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
136
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
137
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
138
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
139
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
140
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
141
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
13
144
Compatibility Breaks
14
145
********************
147
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
148
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
149
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
150
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
151
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
152
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
155
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
156
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
158
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
160
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
161
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
162
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
164
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
165
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
166
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
31
183
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
185
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
186
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
187
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
189
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
190
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
191
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
192
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
193
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
195
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
196
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
197
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
198
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
200
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
201
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
202
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
209
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
210
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
211
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
36
213
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
214
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
216
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
218
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
219
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
220
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
222
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
223
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
41
225
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
226
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
230
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
231
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
232
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
233
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
234
(Robert Collins, #583667)
236
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
237
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
238
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
46
240
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
243
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
246
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
249
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
250
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
251
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
253
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
52
255
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
53
256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
56
259
versions before 1.6.
57
260
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
262
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
263
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
264
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
59
266
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
60
267
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
269
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
270
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
271
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
273
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
274
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
275
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
276
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
278
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
279
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
280
to support this efficiently.
281
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
62
283
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
63
284
more comprehensible.
64
285
(Martin Pool, #491763)
287
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
288
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
290
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
291
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
293
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
294
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
296
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
298
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
299
(Robert Collins, #558343)
301
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
302
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
303
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
304
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
349
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
350
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
351
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
352
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
353
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
354
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
356
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
357
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
358
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
359
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
360
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
361
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
362
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
367
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
368
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
369
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
370
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
372
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
102
375
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
103
376
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
104
377
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
238
526
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
534
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
535
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
536
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
537
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
539
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
540
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
541
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
542
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
543
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
544
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
545
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
546
through the 2.2 series.
548
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
549
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
550
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.

* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
848
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
529
:2.1.2: NOT RELEASED YET
870
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
871
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
872
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
877
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
878
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
879
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
534
881
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.

882
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
884
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
885

886
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of

1360
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1361
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1363
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1364
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
996
1366
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
997
1367
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
998
1368
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
999
1369
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1000
1370
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1372
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1373
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1374
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1375
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1377
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1378
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1379
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
