:2.3b1: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
18
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
19
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
20
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
21
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
23
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
24
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
25
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
26
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
28
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
29
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
31
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
35
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
36
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
39
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
40
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
41
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
44
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
45
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
47
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
49
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
50
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
51
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
52
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
53
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
55
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
56
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
58
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
63
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
64
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
71
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
72
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
73
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
75
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
76
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
78
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
79
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
80
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
81
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
82
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
84
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
85
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
86
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
87
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
89
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
90
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
95
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
96
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
98
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
99
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
101
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
102
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
103
marked versioned too.
104
(Martin Pool, #192859)
106
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
107
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
109
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
111
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
112
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
113
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
115
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
116
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
118
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
119
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
121
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
122
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
124
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
125
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
126
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
127
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
128
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
130
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
131
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
133
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
134
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
135
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
137
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
138
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
140
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
141
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
143
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
144
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
145
(Martin Pool, #192859)
147
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
148
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
149
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
150
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
152
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
153
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
155
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
156
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
158
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
159
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
162
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
163
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
164
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
165
(Martin [gz], #631350)
167
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
168
(Martin Pool, #98735)
170
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
173
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
174
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
175
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
176
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
178
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
179
users to attach to their own processes by default.
180
(Martin Pool, #626679)
182
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
183
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
184
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
186
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
187
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
190
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
191
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
196
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
197
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
198
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
199
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
200
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
202
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
203
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
206
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
207
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
208
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
209
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
210
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
213
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
214
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
215
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
217
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
218
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
219
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
221
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
222
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
223
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
224
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
225
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
226
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
228
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
229
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
230
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
235
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
236
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
237
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
239
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
240
to make the tests conditional.
243
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
244
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
245
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
250
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
251
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
252
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
253
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
256
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
257
relative change in revno.
260
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
261
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
262
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
264
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
265
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
266
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
267
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
268
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
269
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
270
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
271
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
273
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
274
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
276
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
277
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
283
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
289
* Blank output section in scriptrunner tests no longer match any output.
290
Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.
291
(Martin Pool, #637830)
293
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
294
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
296
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
297
possible to extend the reporting. (Marting [gz], #633462)
299
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
300
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
303
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
304
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
305
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
306
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
307
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
308
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
309
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
316
:2.2.1: NOT RELEASED YET
321
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
322
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
323
marked versioned too.
324
(Martin Pool, #192859)
326
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
327
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
329
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
330
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
332
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
333
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
334
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
336
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
337
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
338
(Martin Pool, #192859)
340
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
341
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
342
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
343
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
345
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
346
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
347
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
348
(Martin [gz], #631350)
356
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
357
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
358
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
363
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
373
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
374
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
375
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
376
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
377
supported for another 6 months.)
379
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
380
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
382
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
383
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
384
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
385
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
386
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
387
readonly operations).
389
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
394
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
395
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
396
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
397
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
398
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
400
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
401
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
402
macrobenchmark suite.
408
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
409
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
411
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
413
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
414
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
415
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
417
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
418
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
420
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
421
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
423
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
424
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
425
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
426
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
428
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
429
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
434
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
435
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
437
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
438
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
439
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
444
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
445
points to Python regular expression documentation.
446
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
451
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
456
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
457
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
458
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
463
:Codename: Monkey Magic
467
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
468
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
469
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
470
stable and compatible plugin versions.
472
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
473
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
476
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
477
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
483
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
484
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
485
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
486
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
487
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
488
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
490
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
491
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
492
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
493
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
496
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
497
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
498
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
505
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
506
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
507
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
512
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
513
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
514
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
516
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
517
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
518
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
520
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
521
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
523
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
524
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
525
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
527
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
528
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
529
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
531
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
532
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
534
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
535
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
537
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
538
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
540
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
541
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
543
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
544
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
545
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
547
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
548
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
549
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
551
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
552
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
553
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
554
(Robert Collins, #177500)
556
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
557
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
558
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
560
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
562
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
563
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
565
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
566
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
568
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
569
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
572
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
573
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
574
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
575
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
576
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
578
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
579
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
580
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
581
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
583
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
584
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
586
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
587
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
588
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
589
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
594
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
595
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
596
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
598
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
599
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
600
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
601
(Robert Collins, #201613)
603
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
604
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
605
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
606
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
607
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
609
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
610
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
611
(Martin Pool, #340394)
613
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
614
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
615
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
616
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
622
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
624
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
625
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
626
development). (Robert Collins)
628
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
629
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
634
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
635
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
636
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
637
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
639
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
640
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
641
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
644
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
645
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
646
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
648
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
649
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
650
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
653
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
654
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
655
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
657
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
658
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
659
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
660
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
661
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
663
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
664
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
665
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
670
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
671
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
672
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
673
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
676
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
678
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
679
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
680
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
682
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
683
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
689
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
690
to test. (Martin Pool)
692
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
700
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
701
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
702
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
703
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
704
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
705
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
706
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
707
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test

Compatibility Breaks
14
711
********************
713
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
714
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
715
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
716
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
717
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
718
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
721
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
722
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
723
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
725
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
726
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
727
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
729
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
730
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
