: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
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
73
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
74
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
76
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
77
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
78
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
79
(Robert Collins, #201613)
81
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
82
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
83
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
84
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
90
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
92
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
93
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
94
development). (Robert Collins)
99
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
100
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
101
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
102
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
104
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
105
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
106
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
108
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
109
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
110
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
111
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
112
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
114
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
115
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
116
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
121
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
11
:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
132
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
133
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
134
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
135
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
136
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
137
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
138
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
139
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
13
142
Compatibility Breaks
14
143
********************
145
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
146
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
147
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
148
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
149
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
150
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
153
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
154
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
156
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
158
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
159
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
160
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
162
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
163
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
164
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
31
181
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
183
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
184
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
185
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
187
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
188
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
189
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
190
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
191
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
193
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
194
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
195
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
196
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
198
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
199
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
200
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
207
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
208
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
209
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
36
211
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
212
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
214
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
216
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
217
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
218
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
220
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
221
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
41
223
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
224
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
226
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
228
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
229
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
230
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
231
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
232
(Robert Collins, #583667)
234
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
235
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
236
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
46
238
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
241
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
242
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
244
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
247
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
248
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
249
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
251
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
52
253
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
53
254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
56
257
versions before 1.6.
57
258
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
260
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
261
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
262
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
59
264
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
60
265
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
267
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
268
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
269
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
271
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
272
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
273
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
274
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
276
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
277
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
278
to support this efficiently.
279
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
62
281
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
63
282
more comprehensible.
64
283
(Martin Pool, #491763)
285
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
286
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
288
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
289
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
291
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
292
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
294
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
296
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
297
(Robert Collins, #558343)
299
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
300
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
301
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
302
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
347
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
348
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
349
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
350
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
351
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
352
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
354
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
355
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
356
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
357
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
358
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
359
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
360
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
365
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
366
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
367
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
368
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
370
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
102
373
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
103
374
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
104
375
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
242
524
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
532
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
533
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
534
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
535
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
537
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
538
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
539
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
540
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
541
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
542
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
543
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
544
through the 2.2 series.
546
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
547
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
548
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.

:2.1.3: NOT RELEASED YET
845
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
846
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
533
:2.1.2: NOT RELEASED YET
868
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
869
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
870
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
875
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
876
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
877
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
538
879
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
539
880
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
882
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
883
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
884
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
886
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
541

* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
542
889
versions before 1.6.

1356
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1358
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1359
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1361
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1362
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1000
1364
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1001
1365
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1002
1366
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1003
1367
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1004
1368
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1370
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1371
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1372
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1373
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1375
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1376
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1377
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
