:2.3b1: NOT RELEASED YET

:2.3b1: 2010-09-20
68
69
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
70
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
71
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
72
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
73
74
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
75
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
76
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
77
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
78
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
79
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
80
through the 2.3 series.
81
82
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
83
its own.

(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
22
94
95
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
96
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
98
99
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
100
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
101
marked versioned too.
102
(Martin Pool, #192859)
103
104
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
105
target of the symlink.
106
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
107
108
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
109
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
110
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
111
23
112
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
24
113
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
25
114
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
26
115
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
27
116
28
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
29
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
30
31
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
32
longer raised.
33
(Martin Pool)
34
35
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
36
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
37
(Martin Pool)
117
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
118
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
119
120
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
121
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
38
123
39
124
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
40
125
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`

148
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
149
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
150
151
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
152
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
153
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
154
155
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
156
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
157
158
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
159
longer raised.
160
(Martin Pool)
161
162
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
163
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
164
(Martin Pool, #192859)
165
166
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
167
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
168
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
169
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
170
171
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
172
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
173
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
174
(Martin [gz], #631350)
175
176
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
177
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
178
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
179
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
180
181
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
182
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
183
184
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
185
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
186
187
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
188
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
189
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
190
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
191
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
192
193
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
194
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
195
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
196
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
197
198
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
199
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
200
(Martin [gz], #254278)
201
63
202
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
64
203
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
65
204
macrobenchmark suite.
66
205
(Martin Pool)
67
206
207
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
208
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
209
(Martin Pool)
210
211
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
212
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
213
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
214
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
215
216
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
217
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
218
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1980
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1981
1982
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
1983
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
1984
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)

* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1987
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.

* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1991
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1992
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.

* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
2002
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
2003
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
2004
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.

2009
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
2010
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
2011
2012
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
2013
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
2014
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
2031
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
2032
earlier 2.0 releases.

Bug Fixes
2035
*********
2036
2037
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
2038
(Martin Pool, #331095)
2039
2040
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2041
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2042
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2043
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2044
another process already removed the file.
2045
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2046
2047
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
2048
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2049
a lock.
2050
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2051
2052
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2053
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2054
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2055
repositories.
2056
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
2057
2058
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
2059
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
2060
2061
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
2062
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
2063
``UnboundLocalError``.
2064
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2065
2066
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
2067
version number along with rest of the help text.
2068
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
2069
2070
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
2071
errors.
