:3.1.0: NOT RELEASED YET
14
External Compatibility Breaks
15
*****************************
17
.. These may require users to change the way they use Breezy.
19
* The ``brz init-repo`` command has been renamed to
20
``brz init-shared-repo`` to emphasize that it creates
21
shared repositories rather than just any kind of repository.
27
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
29
* A new ``brz land`` command can merge merge proposals on Launchpad,
30
GitHub and GitLab sites. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1816213)
32
* The 'patch' command is now bundled with brz.
33
Imported from bzrtools by Aaron Bentley. (Jelmer Vernooij)
35
* The 'quilt' plugin, extracted from brz-debian, is now
36
bundled. (Jelmer Vernooij)
38
* A new ``calculate_revnos`` configuration option (defaults to enabled)
39
can be used to disable revno display for branch formats that
40
do not natively store revnos. This speeds up ``brz log`` on
41
the Samba git branch by 33%.
44
* Directly read mtab rather than using psutil when trying to figure out
45
filesystem types. This removes a dependency that not all users may
46
have installed and speeds up import time since psutil brings in
47
various other modules. (Jelmer Vernooij)
52
.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
53
or memory usage, or better results.
55
* A new ``--commit-message`` option has been added to
56
``brz propose``, for hosting sites that support it.
59
* Automatically upgrade to branch format 8 when setting branch references.
62
* The ``ssh`` configuration variable can be used to set the default
63
SSH implementation. (Jelmer Vernooij, #650757)
65
* ``locks.steal_dead`` is now enabled by default.
66
(Jelmer Vernooij, #220464)
68
* The substitution variables for the ``change_editor`` configuration
69
option are now "{old_path}" and "{new_path}" rather than "@old_path" and
70
"@new_path". The former is more consistent with the way substitutions
71
work in other configuration options. The old syntax is still supported.
72
(Jelmer Vernooij, #708718)
74
* The ``brz inventory`` command now accepts a ``--include-root``
75
argument to show the tree root. (Jelmer Vernooij)
80
.. Fixes for situations where brz would previously crash or give incorrect
81
or undesirable results.
83
* Print a sensible error message when conversion for an option fails
84
(i.e. when a non-int is specified as the value for an integer
85
parameter) (#237844, Jelmer Vernooij)
87
* Don't include timestamps in filenames when reporting on binary
88
files in diff. (Jelmer Vernooij, #71307)
90
* Ignore UnknownFormatErrors when scanning for control directories.
91
(Jelmer Vernooij, #468332)
93
* Fix fetching from remote git repositories in ``brz git-import``.
94
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1836238)
96
* A new ``TreeEntry.is_unmodified`` method has added, which allows
97
merge to check for unmodified files without relying
98
on the .revision attribute that is not available for Git trees.
99
This fixes LCA merges for Git repositories.
100
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1826663)
102
* Fix passing of directories in specific_files to
103
GitWorkingTree.iter_entries_by_dir(). (Jelmer Vernooij, #1844054)
108
.. Improved or updated documentation.
113
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
116
* New ``Tree.get_transform`` method for getting a ``TreeTransform``
117
object. (Jelmer Vernooij)
119
* The ``Tree.get_root_id`` method has been removed. Use
120
``Tree.path2id('')`` instead. (Jelmer Vernooij)
122
* ``Repository.find_branches`` now returns an iterator rather than a
123
list. (Jelmer Vernooij, #413970)
125
* New ``Tree.get_nested_tree`` method for retrieving a nested tree.
131
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
132
developers, but interesting for brz developers.
137
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to brz's test framework and
138
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
139
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
