78
* Do not treat configuration option 'check_signatures = require' as if
79
it were 'create_signatures = always' (Jonathan Riddell)
84
21
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
86
* Hooks have been added for config stacks: ``get``, ``set`` and ``remove``
87
are called when an option is repsectively read, modified or deleted. Also
88
added ``load`` and ``save`` hooks for config stores, called when the
89
stores are loaded or saved. (Vincent Ladeuil)
91
23
* New hook server_exception in bzrlib.smart.server to catch any
92
exception caused while running bzr serve.
93
(Jonathan Riddell, #274578)
24
exception caused while running bzr serve. (Jonathan Riddell,
96
27
* New hook set_commit_message in bzrlib.msgeditor to set
97
28
a commit message and revision properties. (Jonathan Riddell,
128
59
* Fix a race condition for ``server_started`` hooks leading to a spurious
129
60
test failure. (Vincent Ladeuil, #789167)
131
* Fix exporting subdirectory with ``--per-file-timestamps``.
132
(Szilveszter Farkas, #795557)
134
62
* Handle files that get created but don't get used during TreeTransform.
135
63
``open()`` can create a file, and still raise an exception before it
136
64
returns. So anything we might have created, make sure we destroy during
145
73
because ``build_mo`` became a required step that they didn't know about.
146
74
(John Arbash Meinel, #787122)
148
* Properly avoid re-adding a file after it changes case on CICP
149
filesystems. (John Arbash Meinel, #798130)
151
76
* Reports the original error when an InvalidHttpResponse exception is
152
77
encountered to facilitate debug. (Vincent Ladeuil, #788530)
168
93
* Improve documentation of ``bzr merge --force``.
169
94
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #767307)
171
* Make docs for configuration options for digital signatures match
172
reality. (Jonathan Riddell)
174
* Add user-guide page on GPG signatures. (Jonathan Riddell)
182
102
* Information about held lockdir locks returned from eg `LockDir.peek` is
183
now represented as a `LockHeldInfo` object, rather than a plain
187
* Remove `file_status` function.
190
* ``Repository.iter_reverse_revision_history`` is now deprecated.
191
Use ``Graph.iter_lefthand_ancestry`` instead.
