:2.3b1: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
21
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
22
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
31
* Check if both --diff-options and --using are set, and exit with error
32
in this case. (Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
34
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
35
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
37
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
40
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
41
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
64
:2.2rc1: NOT RELEASED YET
75
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
76
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
79
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
80
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
101
:Codename: Monkey Magic
105
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
106
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
107
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
108
stable and compatible plugin versions.
110
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
111
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
114
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
115
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
121
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
122
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
123
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
124
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
125
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
126
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
128
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
129
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
130
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
131
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
134
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
135
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
136
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
143
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
144
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
145
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
150
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
151
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
152
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
154
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
155
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
156
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
158
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
159
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
161
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
162
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
163
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
165
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
166
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
167
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
169
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
170
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
172
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
173
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
175
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
176
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
178
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
179
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
181
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
182
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
183
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
185
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
186
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
187
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
189
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
190
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
191
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
192
(Robert Collins, #177500)
194
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
195
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
196
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
198
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
200
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
201
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
203
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
204
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
206
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
207
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
210
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
211
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
212
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
213
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
214
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
216
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
217
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
218
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
219
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
221
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
222
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
224
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
225
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
226
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
227
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
232
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
233
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
234
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
236
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
237
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
238
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
239
(Robert Collins, #201613)
241
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
242
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
243
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
244
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
245
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
247
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
248
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
249
(Martin Pool, #340394)
251
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
252
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
253
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
254
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
260
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
262
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
263
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
264
development). (Robert Collins)
266
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
267
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
272
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
273
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
274
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
275
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
277
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
278
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
279
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
282
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
283
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
284
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
286
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
287
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
288
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
291
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
292
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
293
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
295
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
296
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
297
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
298
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
299
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
301
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
302
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
303
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
308
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
309
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
310
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
311
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
314
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
316
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
317
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
318
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
320
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
321
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
327
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
328
to test. (Martin Pool)
330
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.
331

:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
338
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
339
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
340
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
341
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
342
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
343
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
344
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
345
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
13
348
Compatibility Breaks
14
349
********************
351
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
352
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
353
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
354
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
355
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
356
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
359
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
360
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
361
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
363
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
364
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
365
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
367
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
368
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
369
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
31
386
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
388
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
389
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
390
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
392
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
393
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
394
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
395
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
396
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
398
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
399
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
400
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
401
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
403
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
404
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
405
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
412
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
413
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
414
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
36
416
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
417
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
419
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
421
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
422
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
423
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
425
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
426
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
41
428
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
429
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
433
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
434
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
435
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
436
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
437
(Robert Collins, #583667)
439
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
440
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
441
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
46
443
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
446
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
449
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
452
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
453
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
454
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
456
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
52
458
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
