:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21

44

45

This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From

46

this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0

47

series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so

48

bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along

49

with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are

50

support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support

51

for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small

52

memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.

53

This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.

New Features

57

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

19

58

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)

26

27

59

* Add bug information to log output when available.

28

60

(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)

29

61

55

87

transferred for the current command. This information is always logged

56

88

to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)

57

89

90

* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to

91

ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such

92

exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which

93

would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular

94

ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'

95

exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)

96

58

97

* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable

59

98

various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``

60

99

warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:

72

111

the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a

73

112

ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)

74

113

75

* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,

76

rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make

77

exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one

78

case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)

79

80

* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled

81

``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and

82

free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.

83

This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for

84

an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)

85

86

114

* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory

87

115

services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a

88

116

'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)

90

118

* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.

91

119

(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)

92

120

93

* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``

94

returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the

95

optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)

121

* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.

122

If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we

123

do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.

124

The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that

125

another process already removed the file.

126

(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)

96

127

97

128

* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection

98

129

fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)

107

138

* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.

108

139

(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)

109

140

110

* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently

111

successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)

112

113

141

* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.

114

142

(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)

115

143

121

149

depended on this behaviour.

122

150

(Martin Pool, #499757)

123

151

124

* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something

125

changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent

126

autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)

127

128

152

* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end

129

153

up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you

130

154

update the source and the generated file together, the generated file

195

219

deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)

196

220

197

221

* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``

198

parameter in their constructora, and provide ``this_branch`` as an

222

parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an

199

223

attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)

200

224

201

225

* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised

248

272

tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

:2.0.4: 2010-01-21

281

282

The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a

283

dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling

284

interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair

285

improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
