:2.6b1: NOT RELEASED YET
13
External Compatibility Breaks
14
*****************************
16
.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
21
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
26
.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
27
or memory usage, or better results.
29
* Access to HTTPS URLs now uses the urrllib implementation by default.
30
For the old pycurl-based implementation, specify ``https+pycurl://`` as
31
the URL scheme when accessing a HTTPS location.
32
(Jelmer Vernooij, #125055)
34
* Avoid 'Invalid range access' errors when whole files are retrieved with
35
transport.http.get() . (Vincent Ladeuil, #924746)
37
* ``bzr rmbranch`` now supports removing colocated branches.
38
(Jelmer Vernooij, #920653)
40
* ``bzr rmbranch`` no longer removes active branches unless ``--force``
41
is specified. (Jelmer Vernooij, #922953)
43
* Two new command hooks, ``pre_command`` and ``post_command``,
44
provide notification before and after a command has been run.
45
(Brian de Alwis, Jelmer Vernooij)
50
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
51
or undesirable results.
53
* Fix ``bzr config`` display for ``RegistryOption`` values.
54
(Vincent Ladeuil, #930182)
59
.. Improved or updated documentation.
64
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
67
* File ids in the ``Tree`` API can now be bytestring as previously,
68
or tuples of bytestrings.
71
* ``mail_client`` now accepts a configuration stack object rather than
72
an old style Config object. (Jelmer Vernooij)
74
* New configuration option class ``RegistryOption`` which is backed
75
onto a registry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
77
* New convenience API method ``WorkingTree.get_config_stack``.
83
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
84
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
89
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
90
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
91
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
