: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".
72
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
73
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
74
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
75
(Robert Collins, #201613)
77
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
78
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
79
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
80
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
86
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
88
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
89
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
90
development). (Robert Collins)
95
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
96
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
97
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead.
103
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
11
:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
114
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
115
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
116
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
117
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
118
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
119
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
120
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
121
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
13
124
Compatibility Breaks
14
125
********************
127
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
128
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
129
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
130
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
131
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
132
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
135
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
136
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
138
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
140
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
141
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
142
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
144
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
145
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
146
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
31
163
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
165
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
166
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
167
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
169
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
170
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
171
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
172
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
173
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
175
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
176
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
177
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
178
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
180
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
181
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
182
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
189
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
190
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
191
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
36
193
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
194
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
196
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
198
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
199
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
200
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
202
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
203
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
41
205
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
206
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
210
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
211
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
212
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
213
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
214
(Robert Collins, #583667)
216
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
217
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
218
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
46
220
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
223
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
226
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
229
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
230
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
231
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
233
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
52
235
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
53
236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
56
239
versions before 1.6.
57
240
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
242
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
243
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
244
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
59
246
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
60
247
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
249
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
250
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
251
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
253
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
254
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
255
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
256
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
258
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
259
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
260
to support this efficiently.
261
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
62
263
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
63
264
more comprehensible.
64
265
(Martin Pool, #491763)
267
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
268
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
270
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
271
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
273
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
274
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
276
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
278
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
279
(Robert Collins, #558343)
281
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
282
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
283
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
284
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
74
294
(case-sensitive) as false.
75
295
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
297
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
298
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
299
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
77
301
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
78
302
be interpreted as a boolean.
305
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
306
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
307
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
308
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
309
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
329
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
330
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
331
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
332
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
333
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
334
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
336
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
337
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
338
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
339
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
340
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
341
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
342
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
347
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
348
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
349
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
350
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
352
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
102
355
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
103
356
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
104
357
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
242
506
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
514
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
515
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
516
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
517
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
519
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
520
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
521
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
522
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
523
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
524
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
525
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
526
through the 2.2 series.
528
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
529
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
530
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.

533
:2.1.2: NOT RELEASED YET
850
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
851
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
852
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
857
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
858
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.

542
871
versions before 1.6.
543
872
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
545
874
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
546
875
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
547
876
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
548
errors after two window resizes.
877
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.

1000
1346
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1001
1347
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1002
1348
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1003
1349
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1004
1350
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1352
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1353
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1354
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1355
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1357
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1358
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
