(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
68

72
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
73
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
75
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
76
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
78
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
79
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)

94
(Martin Pool, #491763)
96
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
97
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
99
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
100
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
102
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
107
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
108
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
109
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
110
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
111
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
112
(case-sensitive) as false.
113
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
115
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
116
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
117
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
119
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
120
be interpreted as a boolean.
129
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
130
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
133
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
134
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
135
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
136
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
137
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
141
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
142
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
143
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
144
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
145
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
146
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
147
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
152
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
153
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
154
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
155
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
157
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
159
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
160
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
161
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
162
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
167
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
168
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
170
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
171
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)

:2.2b2: NOT RELEASED YET
179
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
180
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
181
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
182
of these would be welcome.
