*****************************
16
.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
21
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
26
.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
27
or memory usage, or better results.
29
* When using ``bzr switch`` to switch to a sibling of the current
30
branch, the relative branch name should no longer be url-encoded.
33
* ``bzr switch`` now accepts colocated branch names to switch to.
34
(Jelmer Vernooij, #826814)
36
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` now only makes a single connection to the remote
37
server rather than three. (Jelmer Vernooij, #444293)
42
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
43
or undesirable results.
45
* Allow lazy compiled patterns from ``bzrlib.lazy_regex`` to be
46
pickled. (Jelmer Vernooij, #893149)
48
* A new section local option ``basename`` is available to help support some
49
``bzr-pipeline`` workflows and more generally help mapping local paths to
50
remote ones. See ``bzr help configuration`` for more details.
51
(Vincent Ladeuil, #843211)
53
* Add HPSS call for looking up revision numbers from revision ids on
54
remote repositories. (Jelmer Vernooij, #640253)
56
* Add HPSS call for retrieving file contents from remote repositories.
57
Should improve performance for lightweight checkouts and exports of
58
from remote repositories. (Jelmer Vernooij, #368717, #762330,
61
* Cope with missing revision ids being specified to
62
``Repository.gather_stats`` HPSS call. (Jelmer Vernooij, #411290)
64
* Fix test failures on windows related to locations.conf handling.
65
(Vincent Ladeuil, #892992)
67
* Fixed parsing of the timestamp given to ``commit --commit-time``. Now
68
prohibits several invalid strings, reads the correct number of seconds,
69
and gives a better error message if the time zone offset is not given.
72
* Resolve regression from colocated branch path handling, by ensuring that
73
unreserved characters are unquoted in URLs. (Martin Packman, #842223)
75
* Split segments from URLs for colocated branches without assuming the
76
combined form is a valid. (Martin Packman, #842233)
78
* Support looking up revision numbers by revision id in empty branches.
79
(Jelmer Vernooij, #535031)
81
* Support verifying signatures on remote repositories.
82
(Jelmer Vernooij, #889694)
84
* Fixed parsing of the timestamp given to ``commit --commit-time``. Now
85
prohibits several invalid strings, reads the correct number of seconds,
86
and gives a better error message if the time zone offset is not given.
89
* When a remote format is unknown, bzr will now print a single-line error
90
message rather than a backtrace. (Jelmer Vernooij, #687226)
95
.. Improved or updated documentation.
100
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
103
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` and ``BranchFormat.open`` now take an optional
104
``possible_transports`` argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
106
* ``Repository.verify_revision`` has been renamed to
107
``Repository.verify_revision_signature``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
109
* ``Tree.get_file_by_path`` is now deprecated. Use ``Tree.get_file`` instead.
110
(Jelmer Vernooij, #666897)
112
* Some global options for use with commands have been removed, construct
113
an ``Option`` with the name instead. (Martin Packman)
118
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
119
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
121
* ``bzr config`` uses the new configuration implementation.
124
* ``RemoteBranch.get_config_stack`` and ``RemoteBzrDir.get_config_stack``
125
will now use HPSS calls where possible. (Jelmer Vernooij)
127
* New HPSS calls ``Repository.has_signature_for_revision_id``,
128
``Repository.make_working_trees``, ``BzrDir.destroy_repository``,
129
``BzrDir.has_workingtree``, ``Repository.get_physical_lock_status``,
130
``Branch.get_physical_lock_status``,
131
``Branch.put_config_file``, ``Branch.break_lock``,
132
``BzrDir.destroy_branch``, ``Repository.break_lock``,
133
``VersionedFileRepository.get_serializer_format``,
134
``Repository.all_revision_ids``, ``Repository.start_write_group``,
135
``Repository.commit_write_group``, ``Repository.abort_write_group``
136
``Repository.check_write_group``, ``Repository.iter_revisions``,
137
``Repository.add_signature_revision_text`` and
138
``Repository.get_revision_signature_text``.
141
* Add HPSS call for ``Repository.pack``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #894461)
143
* Custom HPSS error handlers can now be installed in the smart server client
144
using the ``error_translators`` and ``no_context_error_translators``
145
registries. (Jelmer Vernooij)
150
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
151
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
152
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
154
* Avoid failures in test_transform when OS error messages are localised.
155
(Martin Packman, #891582)
162
This is the third beta of the 2.5 series, leading to a 2.5.0 release in
163
February 2012. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause
164
some incompatibilities with plugins.
166
This release includes log options for ``push`` and ``pull``, more UI polish
167
for colocated branches, a better and more coherent implementation for UI
168
dialogs, enhancements to the config framework and more.
170
This release includes all bug fixed in previous series known at the time of
173
External Compatibility Breaks
174
*****************************
181
* The ``log_format`` configuration can be used with ``-Olog_format=line`` to
182
change the format ``push`` and ``pull`` use to display the
183
revisions. I.e.: ``bzr pull -v -Olog_format=short`` will use the ``short``
184
format instead of the default ``long`` one. (Vincent Ladeuil, #861472)
186
* The new config scheme allows an alternative syntax for the 'appenpath'
187
policy relying on option expansion and defining a new 'relpath' option
188
local to a section. Instead of using '<option>:policy=appendpath', the
189
option value can de defined as 'option=xxxx/{relpath}'.
190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #832013)
195
* ``bzr info -v`` now shows the number of colocated branches
196
for control directories that support them.
197
(Jelmer Vernooij, #863285)
199
* ``bzr version-info`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument.
200
(Jelmer Vernooij, #238705)
202
* ``bzr revno`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument.
203
(Jelmer Vernooij, #870649)
205
* ``bzr rmbranch`` can now remove colocated branches.
206
(Jelmer Vernooij, #831464)
208
* ``bzr serve`` now can serve from URLs rather than just from the
209
file system. I.e.: ``bzr serve -d lp:bzr`` or
210
``bzr serve -d file:///data/bzr`` (Jelmer Vernooij)
212
* all input prompts are now char-based when possible, and can be forced to
213
line-based mode by setting the ``BZR_TEXTUI_INPUT`` environment variable
214
to 'line-based'. This replace the previous shelf UI only patch using
215
``INSIDE_EMACS``. (Benoît Pierre)
220
* ``bzr info`` now shows the master branch location too for
221
treeless local branches. (Jelmer Vernooij, #258355)
223
* ``bzr info`` no longer shows empty output if only a control
224
directory is present. (Jelmer Vernooij, #159098)
226
* ``bzr mkdir --quiet`` now does not print a line for every created
227
directory. (Martin von Gagern, #869915)
229
* ``bzr mv`` does not crash when attempting to move the root of a
230
branch. (Jonathan Riddell, #809728)
232
* ``bzr shelve`` now use ``UIFactory.choose`` for input handling, making
233
it usable when creating a custom ``UIFactory`` implementation. (Benoît
236
* ``bzr clean-tree`` now use ``UIFactory.get_boolean`` for confirmation
237
prompt, making it usable when using a custom ``UIFactory``
238
implementation. (Benoît Pierre)
240
* If sending a crash through Apport fails report the Apport failure to
241
bzr.log rather than stderr. (Jonathan Riddell, #766735)
243
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer treats 'already up-to-date' exceptions as
244
errors. (Benoît Pierre, #716560).
246
* ``bzr version-info`` no longer populates the clean state for custom
247
templates unless {clean} is explicitly asked for.
248
(Lawrence Mitchell, #882541)
250
* Fix finding the CPU count when using Python >= 2.6 on BSD-based systems.
251
(Jelmer Vernooij, #887151)
253
* ``WorkingTree.clone()`` now supports its ``revision_id`` being set
254
to the null revision. (Jelmer Vernooij, #876423)
256
* ``WorkingTree.pull`` can now pull ``NULL_REVISION``.
257
(Jelmer Vernooij, #887556)
262
* ``Branch.revision_history`` is now deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #799519)
264
* Methods ``add`` and ``items`` of ``LRUCache`` and ``LRUSizeCache`` are
265
deprecated. Use normal dict-style access instead. (Martin Packman)
267
* New flag ``RepositoryFormat.supports_unreferenced_revisions`` which
268
indicates whether revisions can be present in a repository without
269
being referenced from e.g. a branch history at the same time.
272
* New method ``Transport.set_segment_parameter``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
274
* ``UIFactory.choose`` has been added: prompt the user for a list of
275
choices. (Benoît Pierre)
280
* ``ControlDirFormat`` now has a new method ``supports_transport``
281
which format implementations can use whether or not they can access
282
a control dir over a particular transport. (Jelmer Vernooij)
284
* ``BranchBuilder.build_commit`` now take ``parent_ids`` and
285
``allow_leftmost_as_ghost`` arguments. (Jelmer Vernooij)
290
* Ensure TestCase instances are deallocated immediately after running where
291
possible. This greatly reduces the peak resource needs of a full test suite
292
run. The new ``-Euncollected_cases`` selftest flag will add failures if any
293
case which persists pasts its expected lifetime. (Martin Packman, #613247)
295
* Report exceptions from child processes during fork instead of swallowing the
296
error and reporting that everything went okay. (Martin Packman, #804130)
302
This is the second beta of the 2.5 series, leading to a 2.5.0 release in
303
February 2012. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
304
incompatibilities with plugins.
306
This release includes more filtering options for ``bzr log``, idle
307
connections handling for ``bzr serve``, a ``development-colo`` experimental
308
format to flesh out the colocated branches UI, better support for foreign
309
formats, enhancements to the config framework and more.
311
This release includes all bug fixed in previous series known at the time of
316
External Compatibility Breaks
317
*****************************
324
* A new ``-O`` standard option (common to all commands) have been added. It
325
provides a value for a config option in the ``-Oname=value`` form that
326
takes precedence over all definitions found in config files. It can be
327
used multiple times to override different options.
328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #491196)
330
* ``bzr log`` now has an option called ``--omit-merges`` to omit
331
those commits that merged branches, i.e. those having more than one
333
In order to avoid confusion, the previous command line option
334
``--include-merges`` has been renamed to ``--include-merged``.
335
The old name of the command line option will still be accepted.
336
The name change also affects ``bzr missing``.
339
* ``bzr serve`` will now disconnect clients if they have not issued an RPC
340
request after 5minutes. On POSIX platforms, this will also happen for
341
``bzr serve --inet``. This can be overridden with the configuration
342
variable ``serve.client_timeout`` or in the command line parameter
343
``bzr serve --client-timeout=X``. Further, it is possible to request
344
``bzr serve [--inet]`` to shutdown gracefully by sending SIGHUP. It will
345
finish the current request, and then close the connection.
346
(John Arbash Meinel, #824797, #795025)
348
* The new experimental format ``development-colo`` supports colocated
349
branches. This format will eventually be merged back into the ``2a``
350
format when it has stabilized and there is adequate UI support for
352
(Jelmer Vernooij, #831481)
357
* Fixed a bug where ``bzr tags -r x..y`` loaded the branch history once for
358
every revision in the range; it's now much faster. (Vincent Ladeuil, #857335)
360
* ``bzr info -v`` can now be run against branches that don't support
361
``last_revision_info``, in which case the branch information will simply
362
not be displayed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
367
* ``bzr shelve`` can now be used in emacs shells as the input handling is
368
turned into a line-based one when ``INSIDE_EMACS`` is set (which is the
369
case for all recent emacs versions). (Vincent Ladeuil, #856261)
371
* ``bzr tags`` can now be used against remote repositories that do
372
not provide access to the revision graph. (Jelmer Vernooij, #858942)
374
* ``bzr update PATH`` will stop if you seem to be asking it to update
375
anything less than a whole tree, because that's not supported by ``bzr``'s
376
concept that the whole tree has a single basis revision. Previously, it
377
would go ahead and update the whole tree, which was surprising.
378
(Martin Pool, #557886)
380
* Don't crash if ``bzrlib.initialize()`` has not been called while accessing
381
configs. (Vincent Ladeuil, #863401)
383
* Redirects between http and https no longer discard path information
384
in some cases. (Jelmer Vernooij, #853765)
386
* The ``--overwrite`` argument to ``bzr push`` and ``bzr pull`` no longer
387
reports all tags as changed. (Jelmer Vernooij, #845396)
389
* ``WorkingTree.get_file_mtime`` now raises NoSuchId if a file id is
390
specified that is unknown. (Jelmer Vernooij, #847435)
396
* ``Branch.get_revision_delta`` has been deprecated. Use
397
``Repository.get_revision_delta`` instead. (Jelmer Vernooij, #859712)
399
* Plugins that implement custom protocols for ``bzr serve`` should now
400
also take an argument ``timeout``. This is used by the the bzr protocol
401
to close a connection if a client has been idle for more than X seconds.
402
(Default 5minutes). (John Arbash Meinel)
404
* ``Repository.fileids_altered_by_revision_ids`` has been moved to
405
``VersionedFileRepository`` and is no longer part of the standard
406
``Repository`` interface. (Jelmer Vernooij)
408
* The argument ``include_merges`` to ``missing.find_unmerged`` has
409
been renamed to ``include_merged``. The old name is still supported
410
for now but will cause a deprecation warning. (Martin von Gagern)
412
* The new method ``ControlDirFormat.is_initializable()`` returns a boolean
413
indicating whether or not it is possible to use any of the
414
initialization methods of that format to create a new control dir.
420
* ``Branch`` objects can now use a config stack with the newly introduced
421
``get_config_stack()``. Both ``get_config`` and ``get_config_stack`` can
422
be used for the same branch but it's recommended to stick to one for a
428
* Test scripts can now use ``bzr shelve`` and provide their input as
429
complete lines. (Vincent Ladeuil, #856261)
431
* Really corrupt the pack file without depending on a special length or value.
432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #807032)
440
This is the first beta of the 2.5 series, leading up to a 2.5.0
441
release in February 2012.
443
This release includes better support for gpg signing, better support for
444
i18n (mostly command help and error messages), more options to filter ``bzr
445
log`` output, more support for colocated branches ("location,branch=XXX"
446
syntax), better feedback on updated tags for various commands, faster
447
branching into an empty repository, enhancements to the config framework and
450
Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
451
incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need small updates to work
454
External Compatibility Breaks
455
*****************************
462
* A ``from_unicode`` parameter can be specified when registering a config
463
option. This implements boolean, integer and list config options when the
464
provided ``bool_from_store``, ``int_from_store`` and ``list_from_store``
465
are used for this parameter. (Vincent Ladeuil)
467
* Accessing a packaging branch on Launchpad (eg, ``lp:ubuntu/bzr``) now
468
checks to see if the most recent published source package version for
469
that project is present in the branch tags. This should help developers
470
trust whether the packaging branch is up-to-date and can be used for new
471
changes. The level of verbosity is controlled by the config item
472
``launchpad.packaging_verbosity``. It can be set to one of
479
only display if the branch is out-of-date
482
also display single-line up-to-date and missing,
486
(default) display multi-line content for all states
489
(John Arbash Meinel, #609187, #812928)
491
* Add a config option gpg_signing_key for setting which GPG key should
492
be used to sign commits. Also default to using the gpg user identity
493
which matches user_email() as set by whoami.
494
(Jonathan Riddell, #68501)
496
* An ``invalid`` parameter can be specified when registering a config option
497
to decide what should be done when invalid values are
498
encountered. 'warning' and 'error' will respectively emit a warning and
499
ignore the value or errors out. (Vincent Ladeuil)
501
* bzr add now skips large files in recursive mode. The default "large"
502
size is 20MB, and is configurable via the add.maximum_file_size
503
option. A value of 0 disables skipping. Named items passed to add are
504
never skipped. (Shannon Weyrick, #54624)
506
* ``bzr help configuration/<option>`` display the help for ``option`` for
507
all registered configuration options. (Vincent Ladeuil, #747050)
509
* ``bzr log -m`` now matches message, author, committer and bugs instead
510
of just matching the message. ``--message`` keeps its original meaning,
511
while ``--match-message, --match-author, --match-committer`` and
512
``--match-bugs`` match each of those fields. (Jacek Sieka)
514
* ``config.Option`` can now declare ``default_from_env``, a list of
515
environment variables to get a default value from. (Vincent Ladeuil)
517
* ``config.NameMatcher`` can be used to implement config stores and stacks
518
that need to provide specific option values for arbitrary unique IDs (svn
519
repository UUIDs, etc). (Vincent Ladeuil, #843638)
521
* New builtin ``bzr branches`` command, which lists all colocated branches
522
in a directory. (Jelmer Vernooij, #826820)
524
* Relative local paths can now be specified in URL syntax by using the
525
"file:" prefix. (Jelmer Vernooij)
527
* Report commits signed with expired keys in ``verify-signatures``.
528
(Jonathan Riddell, #804254)
530
* Translations are now enabled for command help, errors and globally
531
for any message using ``gettext`` given on output. (Jonathan Riddell,
537
* ``bzr add`` will now warn about nested subtrees that are skipped.
538
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187342)
540
* ``bzr commit -m ''`` can now be used to force an empty commit message.
541
Entering an empty commit message in the message editor still triggers
542
an error. (Jelmer Vernooij)
544
* ``bzr pull`` will now mention how many tags it has updated.
545
(Jelmer Vernooij, #164450)
547
* ``bzr tag`` no longer errors if a tag already exists but refers to the
548
same revision, and will mention when a tag has been updated
549
rather than created. (Jelmer Vernooij, #381203)
551
* ``bzr uncommit`` will now remove tags that refer to removed revisions.
552
The ``--keep-tags`` option can be used to prevent this behaviour.
553
(Jelmer Vernooij, #605814)
555
* Do not run i18n initialisation twice. (Jonathan Riddell)
557
* Install translation .mo files. (Jonathan Riddell)
559
* Locations printed by ``bzr upgrade`` are now formatted before display.
562
* ``Repository.get_parent_map`` now estimates the size of the returned
563
content more accurately. This means that we get closer to the desired
564
64kB/request. For repositories converted from svn, this can be an
565
improvement of approx 5:1 in round trips to discover the whole history.
568
* Support a ``bugtracker`` option which is used by ``bzr commit --fixes``
569
if no bug tracker was specified on the command line.
570
(Jelmer Vernooij, #334860)
572
* Use ``gettext.NullTranslations`` in i18n to allow use of i18n even when
573
translations are not turned on. (Jonathan Riddell)
578
* ``bzr commit`` now correctly reports missing files as "removed", not
579
"modified". (Jelmer Vernooij, #553955)
581
* ``bzr reconfigure`` will now allow multiple non-conflicting requests
582
in a single invocation, e.g. ``--branch`` and ``--use-shared``.
583
(Martin von Gagern, #842993)
585
* A call to CHKInventory's filter-method will not result in a
586
DuplicateFileId error, if you move a subfolder and change a file in
588
(Bastian Bowe, #809901)
590
* Branching from a stacked branch no longer does a ``get_parent_map``
591
request for each revisions that is in the stacked-on repository while
592
determining what revisions need to be fetched. This mostly impacts
593
branching initialy into an empty shared repository when the source is
594
not the development focus. (John Arbash Meinel, #388269)
596
* Decode ``BZR_HOME`` with fs encoding on posix platforms to avoid unicode
597
errors. (Vincent Ladeuil, #822571)
599
* Fix fallout from URL handling changes in 2.5 that caused an IndexError to be
600
raised whenever a transport at the drive root was opened on windows.
601
(Martin [gz], #841322)
603
* Fixed loading of external merge tools from config to properly decode
604
command-lines which contain embedded quotes. (Gordon Tyler, #828803)
606
* Rather than an error being raised, a warning is now printed when the
607
current user does not have permission to read a configuration file.
608
(Jelmer Vernooij, #837324)
610
* The pull command will now always use separate connections for the
611
case where the destination is a heavyweight checkout of some remote
612
branch on the same host as the source branch.
613
(Martin von Gagern, #483661)
615
* TreeTransformBase.fixup_new_roots no longer forces trees to have a root, so
616
operations that use it, like merge, can now create trees without a root.
619
* Raise BadIndexKey exception in btree_index when a key is too large, fixing
620
an infinite recursion issue. (Shannon Weyrick, #720853)
625
* Release instructions refreshed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
630
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes a ``append_revisions_only``
631
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
633
* ``Branch._get_checkout_format`` now takes a ``lightweight`` argument
634
which indicates if the format should be for a lightweight or a
635
heavyweight checkout. (Jelmer Vernooij)
637
* ``ControlDir.create_branch`` now takes a ``append_revisions_only`` argument.
640
* New class ``URL`` in ``bzrlib.utils`` for managing parsed URLs.
643
* New method ``Config.get_user_option_as_int_from_SI`` added for expanding a
644
value in SI format (i.e. "20MB", "1GB") into its integer equivalent.
647
* New method ``InterTree.file_content_matches`` which checks that
648
two files in different trees have the same contents.
651
* New method ``Tree.get_file_verifier`` which allows tree implementations
652
to return non-sha1 checksums to verify files.
653
(Jelmer Vernooij, #720831)
655
* New methods ``get_transport_from_path`` and ``get_transport_from_url``
656
have been added that only support opening from a path or a URL,
657
unlike ``get_transport``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
659
* New registry ``OptionRegistry`` specialized for configuration options.
662
* Remove ``AtomicFile.closed`` which has been deprecated in bzr 0.10.
665
* Remove ``commands._builtin_commands``, ``commands.shlex_split_unicode``,
666
``Command._maybe_expand_globs`` and ``Command.run_direct`` deprecated in
667
2.10 and 2.2.0. (Vincent Ladeuil)
669
* Remove ``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` deprecated in 2.2.0.
671
* Remove ``log.calculate_view_revisions``, ``log._filter_revision_range``,
672
``log.get_view_revisions`` which have been deprecated in bzr 2.1.0. Also
673
remove ``log.show_one_log`` which was never properly deprecated but wasn't
674
used and is easy to inline if needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
676
* Remove ``trace.info``, ``trace.error`` and ``trace.show_log_error``
677
deprecated in 2.1.0. (Vincent Ladeuil)
679
* Remove ``TransportListRegistry.set_default_transport``, as the concept of
680
a default transport is currently unused. (Jelmer Vernooij)
682
* Remove ``UIFactory.warn_cross_format_fetch`` and
683
``UIFactory.warn_experimental_format_fetch`` in favor of
684
``UIFactory.show_user_warning``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
686
* ``Tags`` containers can now declare whether they support versioned
687
tags and whether tags can refer to ghost tags.
690
* ``Tags.merge_to`` now returns a dictionary with the updated tags
691
and a set of conflicts, rather than just conflicts. (Jelmer Vernooij)
693
* There is a new class `ContentFilterTree` that provides a facade for
694
content filtering. The `filtered` parameter to `export` is deprecated
695
in favor of passing a filtered tree, and the specific exporter plugins
696
no longer support it.
699
* ``Transport`` now has a ``_parsed_url`` attribute instead of
700
separate ``_user``, ``_password``, ``_port``, ``_scheme``, ``_host``
701
and ``_path`` attributes. Proxies are provided for the moment but
702
may be removed in the future. (Jelmer Vernooij)
707
* A new debug flag ``hpss_client_no_vfs`` will now cause the HPSS client
708
to raise a ``HpssVfsRequestNotAllowed`` exception when a VFS request
709
is attempted. (Jelmer Vernooij)
711
* New method ``ControlDir._get_selected_branch`` which returns the
712
colocated branch selected using path segment parameters.
713
(Jelmer Vernooij, #380871)
718
* Blackbox tests (including test scripts) can be debugged interactively (see
719
bzrlib.debug.BzrPdb for details). (Vincent Ladeuil)
721
* `BranchBuilder.build_snapshot` now supports a "flush" action. This
722
cleanly and reliably allows tests using `BranchBuilder` to construct
723
branches that e.g. rename files out of a directory and unversion that
724
directory in the same revision. Previously some changes were impossible
725
due to the order that `build_snapshot` performs its actions.
728
* Don't require ``os.fdatasync`` to be defined on all supported OSes
729
(BSD-based OSes don't define it). (Vincent Ladeuil, #822649)
731
* Fix compatibility with testtools 0.9.12. (Jelmer Vernooij, #815423)
733
* ``LockDir`` can now be run when the local hostname is ``localhost``.
734
(Jelmer Vernooij, #825994)
736
* ``ModuleAvailableFeature`` won't try to import already imported modules,
737
allowing it to be used for modules with side-effects.
738
(Vincent Ladeuil, #712474)
740
* Output time stamps while running ``make check`` to get better timings from
741
pqm. (Vincent Ladeuil, #837926)
743
* `TestCaseWithMemoryTransport` is faster now: `_check_safety_net` now
744
just compares the bytes in the dirstate file to its pristine state,
745
rather than opening the WorkingTree and calling ``last_revision()``.
746
This reduces the overall test suite time by about 10% on my laptop.
749
* Update `TestCase.knownFailure` to the testtools way of handling expected
750
failures to resolve Python 2.7 incompatibility. (Martin [gz], #607400)
