14
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
15
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
16
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
17
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
18
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.

-----------------------------
39
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
40
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
41
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
42
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
43
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
12
48
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
16
52
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
17
53
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
19
* If BZR_HOME environment variable is defined then default location
20
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
23
55
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
24
56
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
25
57
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
33
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
34
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
35
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). (Alexander Belchenko)
37
65
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
38
66
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
68
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
69
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
70
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
40
73
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
41
74
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
42
75
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
43
76
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
44
77
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
79
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
80
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
81
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
82
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
83
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
84
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
85
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
86
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
90
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
91
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
48
93
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
49
94
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
67
112
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
68
113
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
115
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
116
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
70
118
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
71
119
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
73
* pull --quiet is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
121
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
122
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
123
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
124
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
125
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
127
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
129
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
74
130
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
114
170
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
115
171
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
173
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
174
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
175
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
117
177
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
118
178
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
119
179
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
145
205
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
146
206
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
208
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
209
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
148
211
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
149
212
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
150
213
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
added
removed
