16
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
17
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
28
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
29
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
30
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
31
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
33
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
34
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
36
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
38
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
39
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
40
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
41
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
43
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
44
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
45
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
46
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
47
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
52
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
53
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
58
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
59
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
60
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
62
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
63
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
66
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
67
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
68
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
70
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
71
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
74
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
75
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
76
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
78
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
79
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
80
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
81
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
82
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
83
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
85
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
86
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
87
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
90
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
91
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
96
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
97
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
98
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
101
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
102
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
104
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
105
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
106
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
108
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
109
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
111
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
112
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
113
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
114
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
116
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
117
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
119
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
120
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
121
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
123
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
124
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
126
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
128
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
129
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
135
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
136
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
137
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
138
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
140
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
141
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
142
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
