This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
14
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
15
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
20
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
21
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
22
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
27
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
28
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
40
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
41
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
42
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
43
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
48
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
49
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
51
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
52
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
54
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
60
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
61
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
63
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
64
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
66
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
67
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
68
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
70
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
71
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
72
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
74
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
77
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
78
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
80
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
81
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
83
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
84
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
86
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
87
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
89
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
90
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
91
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
93
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
94
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
96
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
97
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
99
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
100
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
101
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
102
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
104
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
105
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
108
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
109
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
110
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
112
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
113
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
114
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
115
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
116
every revision each side had in common.
117
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
119
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
120
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
122
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
123
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
124
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
125
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
130
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
131
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
132
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
133
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
135
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
137
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
139
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
145
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
146
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
147
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
149
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
150
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
151
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
152
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
154
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
155
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
157
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
158
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
159
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
160
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
162
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
163
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
164
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
165
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
170
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
171
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
172
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
174
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
176
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
177
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
179
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
180
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
182
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
183
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
188
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
189
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
190
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
192
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
193
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
194
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
197
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
198
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
201
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
