needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.

:2.2.1: 2010-09-17
60
61
This is a bugfix release which also includes bugfixes from 2.0.6 and
62
2.1.3. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
63
earlier 2.2 releases.

Bug Fixes

*********

68
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
69
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
71
72
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
73
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
74
marked versioned too.
75
(Martin Pool, #192859)
76
77
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
78
target of the symlink.
79
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
80
81
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
82
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
83
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
84
85
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
86
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
87
88
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
89
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
90
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
91
92
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
93
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
94
95
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
96
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
97
98
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
99
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
100
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
101
102
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
103
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
104
(Martin Pool, #192859)
105
106
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
107
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
108
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
109
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
110
111
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
112
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
113
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
114
(Martin [gz], #631350)
115
116
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
117
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
118
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
119
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
120
121
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
122
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
123
124
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
125
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
126
127
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
128
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
129
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
130
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
131
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
132
133
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
134
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
135
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
136
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
137
138
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
139
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
140
(Martin [gz], #254278)
141
142
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
143
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
144
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
145
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
146
147
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
148
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
149
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
150

*******
167
168
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
169
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
170
171
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
172
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
173
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
174
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.

#######
179
180
:Codename: La Hulpe
181
:2.2: 2010-08-06
182
183
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
184
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
185
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
186
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
187
supported for another 6 months.)
188
189
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
190
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
191
192
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
193
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
194
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
195
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
196
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
197
readonly operations).
198
199
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
200
201
Compatibility Breaks
202
********************
203
204
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
205
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
206
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
207
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
208
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
209
210
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
211
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
212
macrobenchmark suite.
213
(Martin Pool)

215
Bug Fixes
216
*********
217
218
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
219
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
220
regular expression.
221
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
222
223
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
224
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
226
227
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
228
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
229
230
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
231
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
232
233
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
234
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
235
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
236
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
237
238
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
239
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
240
241
Improvements
242
************
243
244
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
245
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
246
247
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
248
GUI with out have a console open in the background.

Documentation
252
*************
253
254
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
255
points to Python regular expression documentation.

260
261
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
262
263
Testing
264
*******
265
266
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
267
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.

#########
272
273
:Codename: Monkey Magic
274
:2.2b4: 2010-07-10
275
276
277
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
278
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
279
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
280
stable and compatible plugin versions.
281
282
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
283
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
284
appropriately.
285
286
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
287
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
288
bugfixes over 2.2b3.
289
290
Compatibility Breaks
291
********************
292
293
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
294
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
295
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
296
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
297
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
298
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
299
300
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
301
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
302
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
303
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
304
end.
305
306
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
307
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
308
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
309
(Gordon Tyler)

311
312
New Features
313
************
314
315
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
316
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
317
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
318
319
Bug Fixes
320
*********
321
322
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
323
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
324
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
325
326
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
327
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
328
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
329
330
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
331
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
332
333
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
334
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
335
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
336
337
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
338
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
339
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
340
341
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
342
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
343
344
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
345
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
346
347
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
348
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
349
350
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
351
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
352
353
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
354
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
355
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
356
357
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
358
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
359
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
360
361
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
362
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
363
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
364
(Robert Collins, #177500)
365
366
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
367
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
368
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
369
370
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
371
372
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
373
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
374
375
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
376
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
377
378
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
379
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
380
(Martin Pool)
381
382
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
383
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
384
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
385
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
386
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
387
388
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
389
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
390
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
391
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
392
393
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
394
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
395
396
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
397
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
398
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
399
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
400
401
Improvements
402
************
403
404
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
405
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
406
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
407
408
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
409
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
410
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
411
(Robert Collins, #201613)
412
413
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
414
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
415
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
416
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
417
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
418
419
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
420
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
421
(Martin Pool, #340394)
422
423
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
424
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
425
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
426
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
427

Documentation
430
*************
431
432
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
433
434
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
435
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
436
development). (Robert Collins)
437
438
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
439
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
440
441
API Changes
442
***********
443
444
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
445
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
446
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
447
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
448
449
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
450
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
451
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
452
(Robert Collins)
453
454
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
455
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
456
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
457
458
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
459
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
460
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
461
(Parth Malwankar)
462
463
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
464
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
465
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
466
467
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
468
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
469
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
470
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
471
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
472
473
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
474
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
475
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
476
477
Internals
478
*********
479
480
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
481
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
482
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
483
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
484
(Robert Collins)
485
486
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
487
488
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
489
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
490
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
491
492
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
493
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.

499
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
500

511
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
512
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
513
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
514
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
515
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
516
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
517
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
518
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
519
support.
520
521
Compatibility Breaks
522
********************
523
524
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
525
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
526
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
527
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
528
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
529
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
530
(Robert Collins)
531
532
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
533
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
534
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
535
536
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
537
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
538
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
539
540
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
541
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
542
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
543
544
New Features
545
************
546
547
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
548
``--show-diff``.
549
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
550
551
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
552
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
553
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
554
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
555
556
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
557
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
558
pack operation.
559
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
560
561
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
562
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
563
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
564
565
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
566
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
567
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
568
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
569
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
570
571
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
572
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
573
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
574
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
575
576
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
577
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
578
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
579
gio+sftp, gio+ftp.

Bug Fixes
583
*********
584
585
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
586
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
587
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
588
589
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
590
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
591
better with sudo.
592
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
593
594
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
595
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
596
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
597
598
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
599
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
600
601
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
602
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
603
difference).
604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
605
606
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
607
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
608
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
609
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
610
(Robert Collins, #583667)
611
612
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
613
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
614
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
615
616
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
618
619
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
621
622
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
623
(Aaron Bentley)
624
625
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
626
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
627
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
628
Python.
629
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
630
631
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
633
634
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
635
versions before 1.6.
636
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
637
638
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
639
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
640
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
641
642
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
643
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
644
645
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
646
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
647
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
648
649
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
650
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
651
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
652
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
653
654
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
655
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
656
to support this efficiently.
657
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
658
659
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
660
more comprehensible.
661
(Martin Pool, #491763)
662
663
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
664
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
665
666
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
667
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
668
669
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
670
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
671
messages.
672
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
673
674
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
675
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
676
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
677
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
678
679
Improvements
680
************
681
682
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
683
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
684
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
685
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
686
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
687
(case-sensitive) as false.
688
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
689
690
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
691
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
692
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
693
694
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
695
be interpreted as a boolean.
696
(Vincent Ladeuil)
697
698
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
699
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
700
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
701
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
702
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
703
704
API Changes
705
***********
706
707
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
708
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
709
(Andrew Bennetts)
710
711
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
712
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
713
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
714
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
715
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
716
implementations.
717
(Martin Pool)
718
719
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
720
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
721
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
722
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
723
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
724
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
725
726
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
727
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
728
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
729
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
730
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
731
``refresh_data`` during a write group.

Internals
735
*********
736
737
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
738
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
739
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
740
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
741
742
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
743
(Robert Collins)
744
745
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
746
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
747
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
748
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
749
at worst.
750
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
751
752
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
753
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
754
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
755
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
756
757
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
758
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
759
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)

762
*******
763
764
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
765
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
766
(Robert Collins)
767
768
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
769
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
770
771
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
772
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
774
775
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
776
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.

797
Bug Fixes
798
*********
799
800
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
801
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
802
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
803
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
805
806
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
807
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
808
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
809
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
810
811
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
812
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
813
814
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
815
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
816
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
817
818
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
819
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
820
821
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
822
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
823
824
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
825
(Martin Pool)
826
827
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
828
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
829
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
830
831
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
832
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
833
which is not installed any more" error.
834
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
835
836
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
837
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
838
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
839
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
840
(Andrew Bennetts)
841
842
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
843
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
844
-rX..Y.
845
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)

854
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
855
(Robert Collins, #530265)
856
857
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
858
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
859
(Andrew Bennetts)
860
861
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
862
(Andrew Bennetts)
863
864
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
865
(Andrew Bennetts)
866
867
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
868
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
869
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
870
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
871
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
872
873
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
874
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
875
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
876
877
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
878
less.)

* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
895
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
896

#########
902
903
:2.2b1: 2010-04-01
904
905
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
906
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
907
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
908
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
909
910
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
911
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
912
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
913
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
914
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
915
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
916
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
917
through the 2.2 series.
918
919
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
920
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
921
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.

939
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
940
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and

952
953
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
954
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
955
956
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
957
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
958
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
959
960
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
961
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
962
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
963
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
964
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
965
966
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
967
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows.
968
(Gordon Tyler, #392428)
969
970
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
971
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
973
974
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
975
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
976
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
977
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
978
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
980
981
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
982
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
983
(Jelmer Vernooij)
984
985
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
986
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
987
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
988
(Vincent Ladeuil)
989
990
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
991

Bug Fixes
994
*********
995
996
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
997
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
998
999
* Allow additional arguments to
1000
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1001
1002
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1003
(Michal Junák, #511987)
1004
1005
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1006
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1007
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1008
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1009
1010
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1011
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1012
1013
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1014
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1015
1016
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1017
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1018
1019
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1021
1022
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1023
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1024
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1025
1026
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1027
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1028
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1029
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1030
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1031
1032
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1033
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1035
1036
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1037
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1038
1039
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1040
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1041
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1042
1043
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1044
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1045
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1046
1047
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1048
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1049
``add``.
1050
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1051
1052
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1053
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1054
1055
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1056
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1057
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1058
1059
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1060
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1062
1063
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1065
1066
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1067
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1069
1070
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1071
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1072
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1073
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1074
``sock.sendall``).
1075
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1076
1077
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1078
deletion is involved.
1079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1080
1081
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1082
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1083
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1084
1085
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1086
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1087
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1088
1089
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1090
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1091
1092
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1093
the debugger won't kill the session.
1094
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1095
1096
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1097
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1098
1099
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1100
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1101
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1102
1103
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
1104
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)

API Changes
1107
***********
1108
1109
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1110
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1111
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1112
1113
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1114
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1115
1116
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1117
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1118
1119
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1120
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1121
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1122
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1123
1124
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1125
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1126
to be done separately.
1127
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1128
1129
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1130
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1131
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1132
1133
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1134
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1135
1136
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1137
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
1138
1139
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
1140
(Neil Santos)
1141
1142
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
1143
(Martin Pool)
1144
1145
Internals
1146
*********
1147
1148
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1149
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1150
1151
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1152
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1153
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1154
1155
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1156
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1157
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1158
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1159
(Robert Collins)
1160
1161
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1162
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1163
1164
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1165
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1166
1167
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1168
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
1169
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1170
1171
Testing
1172
*******
1173
1174
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1175
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1176
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1177
1178
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1179
(Robert Collins)
1180
1181
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1182
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1183
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1184
1185
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1186
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1187
dependency regressions.
1188
(Martin Pool)
1189
1190
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1191
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1192
1193
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1194
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1195
1196
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1197
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1198
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1199
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1200
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1201
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
