* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
17
(Colin Watson, #120647)
19
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
20
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
31
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
32
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
33
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
34
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
35
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
36
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
37
and unlock() like so::
41
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
47
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
48
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
50
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
51
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
52
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
54
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
55
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
61
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
62
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
65
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
68
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
69
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
71
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
72
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
73
understanding what changes have occurred
74
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
76
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
77
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
78
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
80
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
81
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
82
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
83
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
85
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
91
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
92
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
93
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
94
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
95
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
97
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
98
based on split paths, not just string paths.
99
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
101
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
104
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
108
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
109
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
111
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
112
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
114
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
115
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
117
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
118
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
120
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
121
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
123
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
124
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
125
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
