:2.6b3: NOT RELEASED YET
13
External Compatibility Breaks
14
*****************************
16
.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
18
* ``bzr lp-propose --approve`` now also adds an "Approve" vote to the merge
19
proposal. (Jonathan Lange)
24
* ``bzr switch --store`` now stores uncommitted changes in the branch, and
25
restores them when switching back to the branch. (Aaron Bentley)
27
* New option '--context' for 'bzr diff' command, to configure the amount of
28
context (i.e. showing lines that have not changed). Also available as the
29
named parameter 'context_lines' to bzrlib.diff.internal_diff(). (Paul Nixon)
31
* The 'ping' plugin is now shipped with bzr. (Jelmer Vernooij)
36
* ``bzr help env-variables`` now points users at ``bzr help configuration``
37
which has much more detailed information on the same stuff.
40
* ``bzr lp-find-proposal`` now only cares about the revision-id that is
41
specified, not the branch you use. This was enabled by a new API call in
42
Launchpad's web service. (Aaron Bentley)
44
* Implement authentication.conf password obfuscation, the password_encoding
45
option can now be set to base64. (Florian Dorn)
47
* Local configurations files (i.e. accessed on the local file system like
48
``bazaar.conf`` and ``locations.conf``) are now shared, reducing the
49
number of IOs when querying a configuation option. (Vincent Ladeuil,
52
* ``bzr lp-propose --approve`` now correctly specifies the approved revision
53
and provides an "Approve" vote from the proposer, allowing for smoother
54
interaction with downstream merge tools. (Jonathan Lange)
59
* Add a ``progress_bar`` configuration option defaulting to
60
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``. This can be set in ``bazaar.conf`` or specified from
61
the command line with ``-Oprogress_bar=text``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #388275)
63
* Fixed a bug where the entire contents of ``/etc/mailname`` is read in.
64
We only want to read in the first line so that comments could be added
68
* Fixed a syntax error in ``doc/ja/user-guide/http_smart_server.txt`` that
69
causes breakage with docutils 0.9.1.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, Jelmer Vernooij, #1066307)
72
* ``Authentication.Config`` now always returns unicode user names and passwords.
73
(Vincent Ladeuil, #514301)
75
* Warn when ``--show-base`` is used for ``pull`` in a treeless branch
76
instead of failing. It's useless but harmless. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1022160)
78
* When a missing referenced chk root error is encountered, bzr now suggests
79
running ``bzr reconcile --canonicalize-chks``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1021537)
81
* When pushing a specific revision, create the new working tree at
82
that revision. (#484516, Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
87
.. Improved or updated documentation.
89
* Clarify ``bzr config`` usages especially around other option references
90
expansion. (Vincent Ladeuil, #996401)
95
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
101
* The launchpad plugin now requires API 1.6.0 or later. This version shipped
102
with Ubuntu 9.10. (Aaron Bentley)
107
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
108
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
109
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
117
This is the second beta for the 2.6 series, leading up to a 2.6.0 release in
120
This release includes minor bug fixes.
122
This release includes all bugs fixed in previous series known at the time of
125
Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
126
incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need small updates to work

which isn't needed anymore since we don't test the texinfo sphinx builder
209
anymore either. (Vincent Ladeuil)
