* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
20
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
21
22
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
23
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
24
25
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
26
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
27
hook.

* ``bzr break-lock --force`` breaks the lock without prompting. (Before
34
using this, make sure the process holding the lock really is dead.)
35
(Martin Pool, #392315)

37
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
38
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.

:2.3b1: 2010-09-20
76
77
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
78
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
79
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
80
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
81
82
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
83
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
84
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
85
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
86
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
87
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
88
through the 2.3 series.
89
90
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
91
its own.

********************
100
20
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
101
21
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
102
22
103
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
104
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
105
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
106
107
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
108
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
109
marked versioned too.
110
(Martin Pool, #192859)
111
112
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
113
target of the symlink.
114
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
115
116
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
117
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
118
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
119
120
23
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
121
24
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
122
25
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
123
26
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
124
27
125
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
126
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
127
128
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
129
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
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)
131
38
132
39
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
133
40
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
145
52
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
146
53
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
147
54
148
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
55
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
149
56
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
150
151
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
152
`bzrlib.controldir`.
153
154
57
(Jelmer Vernooij)
155
58
156
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
157
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
158
159
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
160
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
161
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
162
163
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
164
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
165
166
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
167
longer raised.
168
(Martin Pool)
169
170
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
171
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
172
(Martin Pool, #192859)
173
174
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
175
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
176
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
177
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
178
179
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
180
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
181
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
182
(Martin [gz], #631350)
183
184
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
185
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
186
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
187
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
188
189
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
190
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
191
192
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
193
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
194
195
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
196
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
197
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
198
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
199
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
200
201
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
202
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
203
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
204
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
205
206
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
207
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
208
(Martin [gz], #254278)
209
210
59
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
211
60
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
212
61
macrobenchmark suite.
213
62
(Martin Pool)
214
63
215
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
216
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
217
(Martin Pool)
218
219
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
220
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
221
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
222
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
223
224
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
225
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
226
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

475
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
476
477
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
478
possible to extend the reporting. (Martin [gz], #633462)
479
480
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
481
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
482
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
483
484
274

495
285
496
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
497
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
498

499

Bug Fixes

*********
1908
1909
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
1910
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1911
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1912
1913
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
1914
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
1915
marked versioned too.
1916
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1917
1918
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
1919
target of the symlink.
1920
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
1921
1922
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1923
both working tree and branch.
1924
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1925
1926
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1927
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1928
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1929
1930
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
1931
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
1932
1933
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
1934
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
1935
(Martin Pool, #192859)
1936
1937
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
1938
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
1939
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
1940
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
1941
1942
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1943
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1944
1945
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1946
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1947
1948
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1949
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1950
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1951
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1952
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1953
1954
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1955
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1956
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1957
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1958
1959
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1960
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1961
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.

1977
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1978
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1979
earlier 2.0 releases.

* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1985
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1986
1987
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1988
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1989
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1990
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1991
another process already removed the file.
1992
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1993
1994
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1995
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1996
a lock.
