:2.2.0b1: Not released yet
17
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
18
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
21
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
22
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
24
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
25
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
27
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
28
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
29
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
30
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
31
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
37
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
38
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
39
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
40
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
41
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
43
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
44
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
47
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
48
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
49
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
52
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
53
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
58
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
59
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
61
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
62
(Michal Junák, #511987)
64
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
65
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
67
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
68
(Martin Pool, #331095)
70
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
71
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
73
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
74
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
76
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
77
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
78
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
80
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
81
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
82
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
84
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
85
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
87
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
92
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
93
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
94
to be done separately.
95
(Martin Pool, #507710)
97
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
103
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
104
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
105
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
106
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
112
* New `bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff` can make assertions about what
113
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
114
dependency regressions.
117
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
118
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
123
:2.1.1: not released yet
128
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
129
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
130
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
132
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
133
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
135
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
140
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
145
:Codename: Strasbourg
148
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
149
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
150
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
152
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
153
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
154
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
155
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
156
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
157
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
159
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
164
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
167
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
168
(Martin Pool, #513432)
170
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
171
when it encounters conflicts.
172
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
174
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
177
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
178
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
180
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
181
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
182
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
183
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
184
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
185
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
187
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
188
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
189
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
194
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
200
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
201
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
204
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
205
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
208
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
209
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
211
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
212
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
213
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
214
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
215
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
216
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
217
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
218
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
220
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
227
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
228
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
229
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
231
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
236
* The ``remove_index`` method of
237
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
238
argument. This argument was always ignored.
239
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
244
:Codename: after the bubbles
245
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
247
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
248
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
253
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
254
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
255
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
256
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
257
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
258
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
259

:Codename: the 'new' stable
266
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
268
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
269
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
270
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
271
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
272
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
273
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
274
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
275
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
276
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
12
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-06 (expected)
20
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
21
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
22
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
23
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
24
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
25
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
282
27
* Add bug information to log output when available.
