   :maxdepth: 1

bzr 2.7b1

#########

:2.7b1: NOT RELEASED YET

External Compatibility Breaks

*****************************

.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.

New Features

************

.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.

Improvements

************

.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance 

   or memory usage, or better results.

* bzrlib.patches.parse_patches can optionally return a list of 'dirty'

  patch headers (prefixed with '===').

  (Kit Randel, #1400567)

Bug Fixes

*********

.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect

   or undesirable results.

* 'acceptable_keys' from 'bazaar.conf' is now properly handled.

  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1249732)

* Option names are now checked to be valid identifiers (including embedded

  dots or hyphens). Also ignore invalid references (i.e. using invalid

  option names) while expanding option values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1235099)

* Fix pyrex version checking to be more robust.

  (Andrew Starr-Bochicchio, #1030521 )

* Forbid more operations for ReadonlyTransportDecorator so no more write

  methods can be used my mistake.  (Vincent Ladeuil, #150196)

Documentation

*************

.. Improved or updated documentation.

API Changes

***********

.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses

   bzrlib.

Internals

*********

.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin 

   developers, but interesting for bzr developers.

* Make all transport put_bytes() raises TypeError instead of AssertionError

  or UnicodeEncodeError when given unicode strings rather than bytes.

  (Vincent Ladeuil, #106898)

Changed Behaviour

*****************

* Also honor $XDG_CONFIG_HOME specification on Mac OS X platform.

  (Fabien Meghazi)

Testing

*******

.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and 

   suite.  This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to 

   spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.

* Fix gpgme test failure starting on wily. (Vincent Ladeuil)

* Fix racy http tests (TestBadStatusServer is so simple, it exposes a race

  in python 2.7.9. This happens only when both the http server and client

  are run in the same process.). Only tests are affected.

  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)

* Fix warnings on stderr caused by the atexit handler triggering for the

  wrong reason: the 'config' command should explicitly save the changes when

  modifying or removing an option and not rely on the atexit

  handler. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1331999)

* Handle (minor) incompatible change in python 2.7.6 leading to test

  failures. Only tests are affected. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879)

* Remove wrong assumption about how TCP server and client interact when run

  inside the same process. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1269886).

* Rename assertWarns in bt.test_config so it doesn't clash with the

  assertWarns introduced in recent python (Vincent Ladeuil, #1514210)

* Restrict access to '.netrc' in tests or recent python (2.7.5-8) will

  complain. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1233413)

* Skip windows-only tests that start failing with python 2.7.9, there is no

  way to fix them without testing on windows itself.

  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)

* Take python 2.7.6 late (better than never) bugfix in ntpath.py into

  account. Only tests are affected (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879).
