:2.7b1: 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
* bzrlib.patches.parse_patches can optionally return a list of 'dirty'
30
patch headers (prefixed with '===').
31
(Kit Randel, #1400567)
36
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
37
or undesirable results.
39
* 'acceptable_keys' from 'bazaar.conf' is now properly handled.
40
(Vincent Ladeuil, #1249732)
42
* Option names are now checked to be valid [dotted] python identifiers. Also
43
ignore invalid references (i.e. using invalid option names) while
44
expanding option values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1235099)
46
* Fix pyrex version checking to be more robust.
47
(Andrew Starr-Bochicchio, #1030521 )
52
.. Improved or updated documentation.
57
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
63
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
64
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
66
* Make all transport put_bytes() raises TypeError instead of AssertionError
67
or UnicodeEncodeError when given unicode strings rather than bytes.
68
(Vincent Ladeuil, #106898)
73
* Also honor $XDG_CONFIG_HOME specification on Mac OS X platform.
79
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
80
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
81
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
83
* Fix racy http tests (TestBadStatusServer is so simple, it exposes a race
84
in python 2.7.9. This happens only when both the http server and client
85
are run in the same process.). Only tests are affected.
86
(Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)
88
* Fix warnings on stderr caused by the atexit handler triggering for the
89
wrong reason: the 'config' command should explicitly save the changes when
90
modifying or removing an option and not rely on the atexit
91
handler. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1331999)
93
* Handle (minor) incompatible change in python 2.7.6 leading to test
94
failures. Only tests are affected. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879)
96
* Remove wrong assumption about how TCP server and client interact when run
97
inside the same process. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1269886).
99
* Rename assertWarns in bt.test_config so it doesn't clash with the
100
assertWarns introduced in recent python (Vincent Ladeuil, #1514210)
102
* Restrict access to '.netrc' in tests or recent python (2.7.5-8) will
103
complain. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1233413)
105
* Skip windows-only tests that start failing with python 2.7.9, there is no
106
way to fix them without testing on windows itself.
107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)
109
* Take python 2.7.6 late (better than never) bugfix in ntpath.py into
110
account. Only tests are affected (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879).
