:2.3.b2: NOT RELEASED YET
16
* The ``bzr tags`` command sorts tag names using a natural sort by
17
default (so tag2 sorts before tag10). The previous default was
18
strictly "asciibetical". That behavior is still available as ``bzr tags
19
--sort=alpha``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #640760)
24
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
25
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
27
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
28
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
30
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
31
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
33
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
35
* GNU lsh is now a supported lsh client; just set BZR_SSH to 'lsh'.
36
Also, bzr will recognize if the 'ssh' comand is a symlink to lsh.
37
(Matthew Gordon, #374700)
42
* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
43
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
44
(Martin Pool, #397315)
46
* Print junk rather than throwing a UnicodeDecodeError from ``bzr version-info``
47
when using the rio format (with non-ascii information) on a non-utf-8 terminal.
48
(Andrej A Antonov, #518609)
50
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
51
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
52
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
54
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
55
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
57
* ``unshelve --preview`` now can show diff in a non-ascii encoding.
58
(Andrej A Antonov, #518916)
63
* ``bzr remove`` now takes a ``--no-backup`` option for when you don't want it
64
to backup anything, just delete it. This option used to be called ``--force``
65
which is now deprecated.
66
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
71
* Provide more detailed help on the Launchpad plugin at "bzr help
72
plugins/launchpad". (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #589379)
80
* Small change to GroupCompressBlock to work more in terms of 'chunks'
81
rather than 'content' for its compressed storage. (John Arbash Meinel)
83
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
84
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
85
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
90
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
91
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
93
* Use tests.TestCaseInTempDir for tests that requires disk resources.
94
(Vincent Ladeuil, #650001)
101
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
102
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
103
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
104
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
106
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
107
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
108
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
109
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
110
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
111
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
112
through the 2.3 series.
114
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
121
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
122
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
123
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
124
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
125
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
127
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
128
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
129
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
131
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
132
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
133
marked versioned too.
134
(Martin Pool, #192859)
136
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
137
target of the symlink.
138
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
140
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
141
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
142
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
144
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
145
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
146
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
147
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
149
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
150
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
152
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
153
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
156
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
157
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
158
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
161
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
162
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
164
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
166
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
167
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
168
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
169
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
170
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
172
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
173
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
175
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
180
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
181
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
183
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
184
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
185
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
187
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
188
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
190
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
194
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
195
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
196
(Martin Pool, #192859)
198
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
199
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
200
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
201
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
203
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
204
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
205
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
206
(Martin [gz], #631350)
208
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
209
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
210
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
211
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
213
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
214
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
216
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
217
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
219
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
220
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
221
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
222
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
223
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
225
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
226
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
227
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
228
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
230
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
231
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
232
(Martin [gz], #254278)
234
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
235
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
236
macrobenchmark suite.
239
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
240
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
243
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
244
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
245
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
246
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
248
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
249
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
250
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
251
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
256
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
257
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
258
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
260
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
261
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
263
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
264
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
265
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
266
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
269
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
270
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
271
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
272
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
274
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
275
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
277
* The ``pull`` and ``update`` commands now take a ``-show-base``
278
option that, in the case of conflicts, shows the base revision text.
279
(Rory Yorke, #202374)
284
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
285
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
287
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
288
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
290
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
291
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
293
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
294
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
295
marked versioned too.
296
(Martin Pool, #192859)
298
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
299
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
301
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
303
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
304
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
305
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
307
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
308
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
310
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
311
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
313
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
314
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
316
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
317
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
318
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
319
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
320
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
322
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
323
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
325
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
326
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
327
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
329
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
330
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
332
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
333
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
335
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
336
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
337
(Martin Pool, #192859)
339
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
340
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
341
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
342
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
344
* Fix signature of RemoteBzrDir.create_workingtree to match that of its
345
superclass. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Martin Pool, #524627)
347
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
348
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
350
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
351
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
353
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
354
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
355
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
357
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
358
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
359
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
360
(Martin [gz], #631350)
362
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
363
(Martin Pool, #98735)
365
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
368
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
369
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
370
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
371
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
373
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
374
users to attach to their own processes by default.
375
(Martin Pool, #626679)
377
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
378
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
379
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
381
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
382
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
384
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
385
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
388
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
389
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
390
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``.
391
(Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
393
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
394
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
399
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
400
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
401
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
402
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
403
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
405
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
406
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
409
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
410
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
411
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
412
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
413
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
416
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
417
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
418
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
420
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
421
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
422
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
424
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
425
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
426
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
427
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
428
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
429
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
431
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
432
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
433
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
438
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
439
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
440
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
442
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
443
to make the tests conditional.
446
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
447
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
448
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
450
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
451
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
456
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
457
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
458
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
459
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
462
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
463
relative change in revno.
466
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
467
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
468
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
470
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
471
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
472
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
473
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
474
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
475
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
476
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
477
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
479
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
480
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
482
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
483
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
486
* ``WorkingTree`` methods ``pull``, ``update``, and ``_update_tree``
487
now have an optional argument, ``show_base``, which is by default
488
False. This is flag is ultimately passed to ``merge.merge_inner``
489
in each case. (Rory Yorke, #202374)
494
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
500
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
501
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
503
* Catch socket errors to avoid
504
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
505
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
507
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
508
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
510
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
511
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
513
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
514
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
516
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
517
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
518
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
520
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
521
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
524
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
525
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
526
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
527
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
528
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
529
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
530
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
532
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
533
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
534
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
535
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
536
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
542
:2.2.2: NOT RELEASED YET
553
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
554
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
557
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
575
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
576
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
584
This is a bugfix release which also includes bugfixes from 2.0.6 and
585
2.1.3. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
586
earlier 2.2 releases.
591
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
592
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
593
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
595
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
596
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
597
marked versioned too.
598
(Martin Pool, #192859)
600
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
601
target of the symlink.
602
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
604
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
605
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
606
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
608
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
609
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
611
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
612
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
615
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
616
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
618
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
619
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
621
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
622
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
623
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
625
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
626
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
627
(Martin Pool, #192859)
629
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
630
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
631
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
632
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
634
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
635
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
636
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
637
(Martin [gz], #631350)
639
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
640
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
641
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
642
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
644
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
645
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
647
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
648
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
650
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
651
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
652
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
653
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
654
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
656
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
657
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
658
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
659
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
661
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
662
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
663
(Martin [gz], #254278)
665
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
666
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
667
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
668
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
670
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
671
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
672
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
673
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
678
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
679
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
680
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
685
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
691
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
692
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
694
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
695
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
696
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
697
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
698
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
704
:2.1.4: NOT RELEASED YET
715
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
716
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
719
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.

(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
906
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
907
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
908
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
909
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
910
supported for another 6 months.)
912
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
913
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
915
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
916
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
917
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
918
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
919
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
920
readonly operations).
922
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
927
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
928
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
929
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
930
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
931
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
933
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
934
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
935
macrobenchmark suite.
941
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
942
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
944
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
946
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
947
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
950
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
951
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
953
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
954
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
956
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
957
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
958
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
959
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
961
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
962
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
967
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
968
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
970
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
971
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
972
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
977
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
978
points to Python regular expression documentation.
979
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
984
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
989
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
990
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
991
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
996
:Codename: Monkey Magic
1000
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
1001
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
1002
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
1003
stable and compatible plugin versions.
1005
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
1006
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
1009
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
1010
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
1011
bugfixes over 2.2b3.
1013
Compatibility Breaks
1014
********************
1016
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
1017
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
1018
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
1019
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
1020
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
1021
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
1023
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
1024
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
1025
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
1026
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
1029
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
1030
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
1031
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
1038
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1039
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
1040
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1045
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
1046
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
1047
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
1049
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
1050
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
1051
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
1053
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
1054
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
1056
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
1057
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
1058
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
1060
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
1061
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
1062
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
1064
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
1065
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
1067
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
1068
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1070
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
1071
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1073
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
1074
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
1076
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
1077
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
1078
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
1080
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
1081
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
1082
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
1084
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
1085
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
1086
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
1087
(Robert Collins, #177500)
1089
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
1090
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
1091
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1093
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
1095
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1096
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1098
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
1099
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
1101
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
1102
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
1105
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
1106
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
1107
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
1108
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
1109
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
1111
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
1112
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
1113
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
1114
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
1116
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
1117
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
1119
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
1120
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
1121
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
1122
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
1127
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
1128
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
1129
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
1131
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
1132
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
1133
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
1134
(Robert Collins, #201613)
1136
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
1137
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
1138
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
1139
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
1140
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
1142
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
1143
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
1144
(Martin Pool, #340394)
1146
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
1147
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
1148
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
1149
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
1155
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
1157
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
1158
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
1159
development). (Robert Collins)
1161
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
1162
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
1167
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
1168
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
1169
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
1170
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
1172
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
1173
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
1174
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
1177
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
1178
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
1179
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1181
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
1182
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
1183
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
1186
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
1187
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
1188
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
1190
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
1191
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
1192
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
1193
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
1194
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
1196
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
1197
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
1198
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
1203
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
1204
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
1205
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
1206
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
1209
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
1211
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
1212
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
1213
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
1215
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
1216
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
1222
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
1223
to test. (Martin Pool)
1225
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.

:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
1233
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
1234
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
1235
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
1236
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
1237
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
1238
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
1239
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
1240
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test

Compatibility Breaks
14
1244
********************
1246
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
1247
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
1248
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
1249
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
1250
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
1251
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
1254
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
1255
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
1256
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
1258
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
1259
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
1260
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
1262
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
1263
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
