.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
27
27
or memory usage, or better results.
29
* A redundant parent inventories calculation was removed from
30
``fetch.py``, as ``Repository.insert_stream`` already reports any
31
missing inventories. This removes at least one network roundtrip when
32
pushing to a stacked branch. (Andrew Bennetts)
34
* ``bzr resolve`` now accepts ``--take-this`` and ``--take-other`` actions
35
for text conflicts. This *replace* the whole file with the content
36
designated by the action. This will *ignore* all differences that would
37
have been merge cleanly otherwise. (Vincent Ladeuil, #638451)
42
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
43
or undesirable results.
48
.. Improved or updated documentation.
53
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
59
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
60
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
65
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
66
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
67
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
69
* Catch exceptions related to bug #637821 during test cleanup to avoid
70
spurious failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #686008).
72
* Check sphinx compatibility for tests requiring older sphinx versions.
73
(Vincent Ladeuil, #688072)
75
* ``TestDebuntuExpansions`` was escaping the test isolation by calling the
76
wrong base class ``setUp``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #684622)
83
This is the fourth beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0 release in
84
February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
85
incompatibilities with plugins.
87
2.3b4 includes bug fixes for the ``config`` command and conflict
88
resolution. More changes were made for the test scripts handling to make it
89
easier to add reproducing recipes to bugs.
91
It also includes bug fixes from the 2.2.2 release as well as the bug fixes
92
in the upcoming 2.0.7, 2.1.4 and 2.2.3 releases. This means that all known
93
fixed bugs at the time of this release are included.

118
already a directory there. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #195397)

145
* ``tools/check-newsbug.py`` is now based on ``lp:hydrazine`` and no longer
146
crashes when encountering private bugs (they are just displayed as such).
147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #354985)
84
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
85
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.

102
163
* Add a null_output_matches_anything keyword argument with default False to
103
164
bzrlib.tests.script.ScriptRunner.run_script to specify that the command
104
165
output should not be checked (as opposed to expecting an empty output).

Instead, use '...' as a wildcard if you don't care about the output.

(Martin Pool, #637830)
172
* Bump minimum testtools version required to run ``bzr selftest`` from 0.9.2
173
to 0.9.5 which will allow tests that need the fixed unicode handling to be
174
written. (Martin [gz])
176
* Printing selftest results to a non-UTF-8 console will now escape characters
177
that can't be encoded rather than aborting the test run with an exception.

459
528
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
460
529
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
461
530
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
