:2.3.b2: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
20
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
23
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
26
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
28
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
45
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
46
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
47
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
59
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
60
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
61
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
62
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
64
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
65
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
66
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
67
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
68
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
69
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
70
through the 2.3 series.
72
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
79
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
80
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
81
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
82
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
83
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
85
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
86
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
87
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
89
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
90
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
92
(Martin Pool, #192859)
94
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
95
target of the symlink.
96
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
98
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
99
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
100
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
102
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
103
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
104
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
105
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
107
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
108
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
110
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
111
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
114
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
115
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
116
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
119
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
120
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
122
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
124
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
125
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
126
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
127
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
128
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
130
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
131
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
133
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
138
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
139
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
141
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
142
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
143
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
145
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
146
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
148
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
152
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
153
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
154
(Martin Pool, #192859)
156
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
157
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
158
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
159
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
161
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
162
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
163
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
164
(Martin [gz], #631350)
166
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
167
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
168
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
169
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
171
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
172
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
174
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
175
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
177
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
178
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
179
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
180
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
181
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
183
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
184
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
185
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
186
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
188
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
189
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
190
(Martin [gz], #254278)
192
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
193
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
194
macrobenchmark suite.
197
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
198
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
201
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
202
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
203
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
204
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
206
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
207
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
208
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
209
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
214
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
215
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
216
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
218
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
219
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
221
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
222
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
223
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
224
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
227
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
228
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
229
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
230
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
232
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
233
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
238
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
239
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
241
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
242
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
244
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
245
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
247
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
248
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
249
marked versioned too.
250
(Martin Pool, #192859)
252
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
253
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
255
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
257
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
258
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
259
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
261
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
262
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
264
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
265
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
267
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
268
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
270
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
271
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
272
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
273
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
274
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
276
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
277
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
279
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
280
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
281
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
283
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
284
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
286
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
287
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
289
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
290
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
291
(Martin Pool, #192859)
293
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
294
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
295
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
296
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
298
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
299
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
301
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
302
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
304
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
305
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
308
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
309
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
310
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
311
(Martin [gz], #631350)
313
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
314
(Martin Pool, #98735)
316
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
319
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
320
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
321
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
322
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
324
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
325
users to attach to their own processes by default.
326
(Martin Pool, #626679)
328
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
329
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
330
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
332
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
333
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
335
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
336
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
339
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
340
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
341
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``.
342
(Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
344
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
345
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
350
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
351
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
352
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
353
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
354
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
356
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
357
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
360
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
361
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
362
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
363
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
364
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
367
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
368
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
369
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
371
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
372
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
373
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
375
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
376
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
377
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
378
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
379
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
380
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
382
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
383
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
384
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
389
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
390
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
391
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
393
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
394
to make the tests conditional.
397
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
398
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
399
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
401
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
402
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
407
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
408
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
409
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
410
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
413
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
414
relative change in revno.
417
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
418
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
419
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
421
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
422
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
423
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
424
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
425
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
426
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
427
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
428
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
430
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
431
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
433
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
434
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
440
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
446
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
447
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
449
* Catch socket errors to avoid
450
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
451
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
453
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
454
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
456
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
457
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
459
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
460
possible to extend the reporting. (Marting [gz], #633462)
462
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
463
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
464
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
466
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
467
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
470
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
471
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
472
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
473
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
474
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
475
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
476
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
478
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
479
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
480
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
481
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
482
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
488
:2.2.2: NOT RELEASED YET
514
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
515
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
523
This is a bugfix release which also includes bugfixes from 2.0.6 and
524
2.1.3. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
525
earlier 2.2 releases.
530
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
531
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
532
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
534
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
535
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
536
marked versioned too.
537
(Martin Pool, #192859)
539
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
540
target of the symlink.
541
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
543
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
544
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
545
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
547
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
548
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
550
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
551
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
552
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
554
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
555
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
557
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
558
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
560
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
561
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
562
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
564
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
565
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
566
(Martin Pool, #192859)
568
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
569
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
570
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
571
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
573
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
574
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
575
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
576
(Martin [gz], #631350)
578
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
579
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
580
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
581
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
583
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
584
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
586
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
587
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
589
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
590
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
591
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
592
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
593
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
595
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
596
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
597
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
598
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
600
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
601
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
602
(Martin [gz], #254278)
604
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
605
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
606
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
607
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
609
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
610
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
611
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
612
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
617
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
618
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
619
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
624
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
630
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
631
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
633
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
634
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
635
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
636
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
637
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
646
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
647
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
648
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
649
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
650
supported for another 6 months.)
652
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
653
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
655
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
656
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
657
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
658
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
659
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
660
readonly operations).
662
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
667
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
668
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
669
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
670
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
671
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
673
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
674
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
675
macrobenchmark suite.
681
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
682
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
684
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
686
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
687
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
690
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
691
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
693
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
694
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
696
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
697
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
698
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
699
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
701
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
702
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
707
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
708
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
710
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
711
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
712
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
717
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
718
points to Python regular expression documentation.
719
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
724
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
729
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
730
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
731
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
736
:Codename: Monkey Magic
740
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
741
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
742
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
743
stable and compatible plugin versions.
745
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
746
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
749
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
750
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
756
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
757
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
758
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
759
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
760
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
761
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
763
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
764
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
765
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
766
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
769
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
770
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
771
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
778
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
779
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
780
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
785
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
786
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
787
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
789
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
790
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
791
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
793
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
794
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
796
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
797
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
798
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
800
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
801
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
802
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
804
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
805
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
807
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
808
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
810
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
811
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
813
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
814
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
816
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
817
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
818
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
820
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
821
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
822
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
824
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
825
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
826
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
827
(Robert Collins, #177500)
829
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
830
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
831
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
833
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
835
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
836
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
838
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
839
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
841
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
842
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
845
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
846
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
847
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
848
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
849
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
851
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
852
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
853
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
854
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
856
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
857
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
859
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
860
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
861
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
862
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
867
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
868
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
869
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
871
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
872
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
873
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
874
(Robert Collins, #201613)
876
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
877
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
878
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
879
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
880
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
882
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
883
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
884
(Martin Pool, #340394)
886
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
887
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
888
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
889
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
895
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
897
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
898
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
899
development). (Robert Collins)
901
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
902
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
907
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
908
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
909
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
910
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
912
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
913
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
914
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
917
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
918
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
919
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
921
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
922
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
923
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
926
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
927
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
928
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
930
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
931
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
932
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
933
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
934
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
936
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
937
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
938
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
943
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
944
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
945
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
946
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
949
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
951
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
952
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
953
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
955
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
956
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
962
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
963
to test. (Martin Pool)
965
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.
966

:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
973
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
974
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
975
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
976
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
977
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
978
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
979
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
980
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
13
983
Compatibility Breaks
14
984
********************
986
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
987
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
988
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
989
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
990
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
991
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
994
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
995
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
996
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
998
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
999
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
1000
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
1002
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
1003
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
