:Codename: Do run run
52
:2.1.3: 2010-09-17
53
54
The third release in our 2.1 series addresses several user-inconvenience bugs
55
(and includes the fixes done in 2.0.6). None are critical, but upgrading is
56
recommended for all users on earlier 2.1 releases.
57
58
Bug Fixes
59
*********
60
61
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
62
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
63
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
64
65
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
66
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
67
marked versioned too.
68
(Martin Pool, #192859)
69
70
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
71
target of the symlink.
72
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
73
74
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
75
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
76
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
77
78
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
79
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
80
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
81
82
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
83
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
84
85
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
86
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
87
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
88
89
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
90
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
91
(Martin Pool, #192859)
92
93
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
94
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
95
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
96
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
97
98
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
99
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
100
101
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
102
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
103
104
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
105
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
106
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
107
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
108
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
109
110
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
111
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
112
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
113
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
114
115
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
116
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
117
(Martin [gz], #254278)
118
119
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
120
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
121
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
122
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
123
124
Testing
125
*******
126
127
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.

bzr 2.1.2
132
#########
133
134
:2.1.2: 2010-05-28
135
136
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
137
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
138
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
139
140
Bug Fixes
141
*********
142
143
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
144
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
145
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
146
147
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
148
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
149
150
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
151
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
152
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
153
Python.
154
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
155
156
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
157
versions before 1.6.
158
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
159
160
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
161
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
162
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
163
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
164
(Andrew Bennetts)
165
166
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
167
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
168
169
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
170
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
171
172
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
173
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
174
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
175
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
176
177
Internals
178
*********
179
180
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
181
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
182
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
183
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
184
at worst.
185
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)

bzr 2.1.1
189
#########
190
191
:2.1.1: 2010-03-24
192
193
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
194
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
195
196
Bug Fixes
197
*********
198
199
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
200
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
201
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
202
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
203
204
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
205
(Martin Pool, #331095)
206
207
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
208
209
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
211
212
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
213
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
214
215
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
216
217
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
218
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
219
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
220
221
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
222
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
223
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
224
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
225
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
226
227
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
228
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
229
230
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
231
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
232
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)

Documentation
235
*************
236
237
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
238
239
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
240
241
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
242
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
243
244
API Changes
245
***********
246
247
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
248
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
249
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.

bzr 2.1.0
254
#########
255
256
:Codename: Strasbourg
257
:2.1.0: 2010-02-11
258
259
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
260
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
261
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
262
263
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
264
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
265
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
266
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
267
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
268
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
269
270
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
271
272
Bug Fixes
273
*********
274
275
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
277
278
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
279
(Martin Pool, #513432)
280
281
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
282
when it encounters conflicts.
283
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
284
285
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
286
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
287
288
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
289
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
290
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
291
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
292
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
293
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
294
295
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
296
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
297
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
298
299
Improvements
300
************
301
302
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
303
Vernooij)
304
305
API Changes
306
***********
307
308
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
309
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
310
(Jelmer Vernooij)
311
312
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
313
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
314
(Jelmer Vernooij)
315
316
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
317
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
318
319
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
320
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
321
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
322
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
323
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
324
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
325
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
326
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
327
328
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
329
regressions.
330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
331
332
Internals
333
*********
334
335
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
336
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
337
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
338
in ``do_merge``.
339
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
340
341
API Changes
342
***********
343
344
* The ``remove_index`` method of
345
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
346
argument. This argument was always ignored.
347

bzr 2.1.0rc2
350
############
351
352
:Codename: after the bubbles
353
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
354
355
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
356
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
357
358
API Changes
359
***********
360
361
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
362
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
363
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
364
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
365
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
366
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.

############
372
373
:Codename: the 'new' stable
374
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
375
376
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
377
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
378
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
379
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
380
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
381
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
382
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
383
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
384
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
385
386
387
New Features
388
************
389
390
* Add bug information to log output when available.
391
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
392
393
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
394
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
395
particular files.
396
397
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
398
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
399
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
400
(Andrew Bennetts)
401
402
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
403
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
404
405
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
406
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
407
408
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
409
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
410
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
411
412
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
413
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
414
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
415
Martin Pool, #45719)
416
417
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
418
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
419
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
420
421
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
422
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
423
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
424
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
425
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
426
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
427
428
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
429
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
430
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
431
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
432
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
433
434
Bug Fixes
435
*********
436
437
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
438
user-specified commit message editor.
439
(Martin Pool, #504842)
440
441
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
442
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
443
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
444
445
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
446
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
447
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
448
449
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
450
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
451
452
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
453
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
454
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
455
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
456
another process already removed the file.
457
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
458
459
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
460
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
461
462
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
463
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
464
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
465
466
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
467
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
468
469
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
471
472
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
474
475
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
476
(Martin Pool, #320035)
477
478
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
479
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
480
depended on this behaviour.
481
(Martin Pool, #499757)
482
483
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
484
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you

Improvements
490
************
491
492
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
493
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
494
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
495
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
496
497
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
498
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
499
500
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
501
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
502
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
503
504
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
505
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
506
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
507
508
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
509
(__monty__, #257170)
510
511
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
512
Bazaar is doing network IO.

Documentation
516
*************
517
518
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
519
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
520
521
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
522
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
523
524
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
525
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
526
527
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
528
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
529
530
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
531
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
532
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
533
534
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
535
(Ian Clatworthy)
536
537
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
538
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.

API Changes
542
***********
543
544
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
545
(Andrew Bennetts)
546
547
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
548
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
549
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
550
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
551
552
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
553
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
554
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
555
556
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
557
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
558
559
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
560
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
561
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
562
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
563
564
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
565
parameter.
566
567
Internals
568
*********
569
570
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
571
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
572
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
573
574
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
575
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
576
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
577
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
578
579
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
580
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
581
582
Testing
583
*******
584
585
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
586
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
587
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
588
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
589
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
590
591
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
592
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
593
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
594
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
595
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
596
suite. (Robert Collins)
597
598
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
599
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
600
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
601
602
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
603
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
612
613
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
614
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
615
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
616
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
617
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
618
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.

Compatibility Breaks
622
********************
623
624
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
625
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
626
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
627
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
628
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)

New Features
631
************
632
633
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
634
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
635
636
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
637
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
638
639
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
640
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
641
642
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
643
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
644
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
645
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
646
lengths.
647
(Vincent Ladeuil)
648
649
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
650
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
651
is installed.

Bug Fixes
656
*********
657
658
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
659
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
660
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
661
662
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
663
and issues a warning.
664
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
665
666
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
667
668
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
669
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
670
671
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
672
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
673
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
674
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
675
676
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
677
678
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
679
(Robert Collins, #84659)
680
681
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
682
683
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
684
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
685
686
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
687
688
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
689
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
690
691
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
692
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
693
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
694
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
695
windows too.

697
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
698
699
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
700
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
701
702
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
703
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
704
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
705
706
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
707
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
708
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
709
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
710
711
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
712
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
713
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
714
715
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
716
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
717
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
718
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
719
720
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
721
branch, not just from the root of the branch.

727
728

* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
731
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
732
733
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
734
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
735
(John Arbash Meinel)
736
737
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
738
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
739
Hudson)
740
741
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
742
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
743
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
744
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
745
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)

766
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
767
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
768
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
769
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
770
771
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
772
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
773
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
774
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
775
(John Arbash Meinel)
776
777
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
778
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
779
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
780
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
781
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
782
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)

:Codename: after sprint recovery
795
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
796
797
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
798
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
799
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
800
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
801
802
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
803
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
804
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
805
formats for Remote objects.

*********
816
817
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
818
819
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
820
821
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
822
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
823
824
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
825
826
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
827
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
828
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
829
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
830
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
831
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
832
833
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
834
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
835
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
836
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
837
838
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
839
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
840
841
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
842
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
843
844
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
845
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
846
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
847
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
848
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
849
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
850
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
851
852
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
853
(Alexander Belchenko)

856
Python level. (Martin Pool)

860
861
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)

* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
864
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
865
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
866
overridden by GUIs.

* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
880
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
881
882
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
883
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
884
885
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
886
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
887
888
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
889
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
890
891
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
892
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
893
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
894
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
895
896
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
897
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
898
899
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
900
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
901
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
902
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
903
904
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
905
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
906
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
907

916
917
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
918
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
919
920
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
921
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
922
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
923
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
924
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
925
many operations.
926
927
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
928
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
929
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
930
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
931
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
932
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)

* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
938
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
939
940
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
941
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
942
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
943
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
944
945
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
946
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
947
948
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
949
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
950
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
951
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
952
953
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
954
files. (Aaron Bentley)

957
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)

************
961
962
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a

964
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
965

989
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
990
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
991
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
992
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
993
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
994
(John Arbash Meinel)
995
996
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
997
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
998
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
999
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1000
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1001
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1002
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1003
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1004
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1005
1006
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1007
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1008
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1009
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1010
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1011
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1012
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1013
1014
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1015
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1016
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1017
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)

1023
:Codename: While the cat is away
1024
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1025
1026
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1027
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1028
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1029
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1030
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1031
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1032
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1033
1034
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1035
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1036
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1037
error handling during unlocking.

New Features
1041
************
1042
1043
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1044
(Brian de Alwis)
1045
1046
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1047
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1048
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1049
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1050
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1051
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1052
1053
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1054
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1055
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1056
1057
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1058
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1059
method.
1060
1061
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1062
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1063
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1064
1065
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1066
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1067
(Arkanes)
1068
1069
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1070
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.

Bug Fixes
1074
*********
1075
1076
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1077
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1078
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1079
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1080
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1081
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1082
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1083
1084
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1085
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1086
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1087
1088
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1089
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1090
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1092
1093
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1094
merges are present in the working tree.
1095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1096
1097
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1098
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1099
1100
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1101
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1102
1103
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1105
1106
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1107
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1109
1110
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1111
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1112
1113
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1114
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1115
1116
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1118
1119
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1120
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1121
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1122
1123
Improvements
1124
************
1125
1126
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1127
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1128
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1129
1130
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1131
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1132
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1133
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1134
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1135
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
1136

1137
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1138
1139
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1140
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1141
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1142
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.

Documentation
1146
*************
1147
1148
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1149
1150
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1151
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)

API Changes
1154
***********
1155
1156
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1157
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1158
1159
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1160
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1161
1162
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1163
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1164
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1165
1166
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1167
(Martin Pool)
1168
1169
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1170
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1171
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1172
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1173
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1174
been deprecated.
1175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1176
1177
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1178
(Martin Pool)

Internals
1181
*********
1182
1183
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1184
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1185
(Andrew Bennetts)
1186
1187
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1188
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1189
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1190
(John Arbash Meinel)
1191
1192
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1193
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1194
(Robert Collins)
1195
1196
Testing
1197
*******
1198
1199
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1200
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1201
1202
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1203
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1204
1205
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1206
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1207
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1208
1209
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1210
a long time.
1211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1212
1213
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1214
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1215
1216
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1217
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1218
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1219
1220
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1221
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1222
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1223
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1224
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1225
1226
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1227
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1228
1229
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1230
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
