bzr 2.1.0b2 (not released yet)

##############################

:2.1.1: not released yet
17
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
18
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
19
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
28
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
29
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
30
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
32
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
33
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
34
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
35
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
36
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
37
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
39
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
44
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
45
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
47
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
48
(Martin Pool, #513432)
50
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
51
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
52
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
53
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
54
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
55
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
57
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
58
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
59
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
60
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
61
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
62
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
63
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
64
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
66
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
68
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
73
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
74
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
75
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
77
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
82
* The ``remove_index`` method of
83
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
84
argument. This argument was always ignored.
85
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
90
:Codename: after the bubbles
93
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
94
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
99
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
100
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
101
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
102
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
103
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
104
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
105
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
111
:Codename: the 'new' stable
112
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
114
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
115
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
116
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
117
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
118
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
119
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
120
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
121
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
122
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
128
* Add bug information to log output when available.
129
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
131
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
132
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
135
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
136
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
137
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
140
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
141
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
143
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
144
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
146
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
147
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
148
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
150
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
151
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
152
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
155
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
156
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
157
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
159
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
160
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
161
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
162
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
163
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
164
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
166
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
167
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
168
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
169
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
170
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
175
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
176
user-specified commit message editor.
177
(Martin Pool, #504842)
179
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
180
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
181
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
183
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
184
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
185
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
187
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
188
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
190
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
191
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
192
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
193
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
194
another process already removed the file.
195
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
197
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
198
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
200
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
201
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
202
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
204
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
205
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
207
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
210
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
213
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
214
(Martin Pool, #320035)
216
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
217
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
218
depended on this behaviour.
219
(Martin Pool, #499757)
221
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
222
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
223
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
224
should appear up-to-date.)
225
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
230
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
231
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
232
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
233
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
235
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
236
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
238
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
239
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
240
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
242
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
243
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
244
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
246
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
249
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
250
Bazaar is doing network IO.
256
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
257
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
259
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
260
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
262
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
263
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
265
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
266
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
268
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
269
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
270
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
272
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
275
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
276
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
282
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
285
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
286
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
287
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
288
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
290
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
291
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
292
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
294
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
295
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
297
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
298
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
299
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
300
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
302
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
308
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
309
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
310
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
312
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
313
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
314
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
315
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
317
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
318
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
323
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
324
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
325
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
326
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
327
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
329
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
330
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
331
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
332
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
333
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
334
suite. (Robert Collins)
336
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
337
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
338
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
340
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
341
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
345
bzr 2.0.5 (not released yet)
346
############################
354
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
355
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
357
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
358
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
359
``UnboundLocalError``.
360
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
365
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
366
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
371
:Codename: smooth sailing
374
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
375
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
376
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
377
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
383
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
384
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
386
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
387
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
388
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
389
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
391
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
392
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
393
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
394
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
395
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
397
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
398
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
399
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
401
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
402
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
403
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
404
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
406
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
407
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
409
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
410
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
411
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
412
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
413
(Martin Pool, #456077)
415
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
416
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
417
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
418
users, rather than something nicer.
419
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
421
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
422
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
424
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
425
build. (there is still the distutils bug
426
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
428
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
429
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
430
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
432
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
433
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
434
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
435
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
436
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
438
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
439
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
440
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
445
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
446
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
447
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
448
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

457
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
458
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
459
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
460
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
461
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
462
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

465
Compatibility Breaks
17
466
********************
468
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
469
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
470
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
471
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
472
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
477
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
478
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
480
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
481
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
483
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
484
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
486
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
487
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
488
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
489
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
493
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
494
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
502
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
503
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
504
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
506
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
507
and issues a warning.
508
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
510
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorder Tyler, #456036)
512
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
513
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
515
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
516
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
517
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
518
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
520
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
522
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
523
(Robert Collins, #84659)
525
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
527
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
528
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
530
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
532
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
533
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
535
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
536
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
537
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
538
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
540
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
541
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
543
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
544
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
546
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
547
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
548
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
550
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
551
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
552
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
553
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
555
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
556
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
557
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
559
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
560
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
561
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
562
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
564
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
565
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
566
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
572
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
574
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
575
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
577
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
578
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
581
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
582
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
585
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
586
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
587
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
588
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
589
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
594
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
600
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
602
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
603
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
604
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
610
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
611
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
612
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
613
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
615
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
616
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
617
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
618
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
621
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
622
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
623
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
624
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
625
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
626
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
631
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
632
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)

642
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
643
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
649
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
650
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
651
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
653
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
654
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
656
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
657
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
658
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
659
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
661
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)

:Codename: after sprint recovery
670
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
671
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
672
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
673
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
675
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
676
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
677
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
678
formats for Remote objects.
684
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
685
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
690
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
692
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
693
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
695
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
697
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
698
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
699
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
700
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
701
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
702
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
704
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
705
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
706
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
707
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
709
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
710
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
712
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
713
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
715
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
716
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
717
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
718
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
719
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
720
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
721
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
723
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
724
(Alexander Belchenko)
726
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
727
Python level. (Martin Pool)
732
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
734
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
735
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
736
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
738
(Martin Pool, 493944)
743
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
744
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
745
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
750
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
751
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
753
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
754
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
756
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
757
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
759
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
760
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
762
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
763
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
764
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
765
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
767
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
768
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
770
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
771
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
772
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
773
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
775
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
776
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
777
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
778
TestResult. (Robert Collins)

788
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
789
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
791
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
792
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
793
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
794
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
795
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
798
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
799
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
800
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
801
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
802
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
803
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
