(Jamie Wilkinson) + +* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new + --kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all + versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory". + (Johan Rydberg) + +* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0`` + by default. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME`` + environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``, + then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA`` + (usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``), + ``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin + path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is + used. (Robert Collins) + +* Use system's external SSH command to open connections if possible. + This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand. + (James Henstridge) + +* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr + directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/' + will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions. + +* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default + ignore list. + +* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless + files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool) + +Improvements +************ + +* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates + it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley) + +* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho) + +* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working + tree. (Robert Collins) + +* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location. + This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote + location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file. + (Robert Collins) + +* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests + that they be kept. + +* Tweaks to short log printing + +* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output. + (Aaron Bentley) + +* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception + occurs. (Martin Pool) + +* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is + the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool) + +* New FTP transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp:// + URLs. (Daniel Silverstone) + +* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow + text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or + settings. (Magnus Therning) + +* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave. + (Goffredo Baroncelli) + +* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that + a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password + requests. + +* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose + revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman) + +* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file. + (Matthieu Moy, #3632) + +* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof + profiler. (Denys Duchier) + +* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files. + (Denys Duchier) + +* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be + added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman) + +* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose + lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley) + +* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can + be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing. + (Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone) + +Bug Fixes +********* + +* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins) + +* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool) + +* Error when run with -OO + +* Fix bug in reporting HTTP errors that don't have an HTTP error code. + (Martin Pool) + +* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands + +* Change status to 3 for all errors + +* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely + ignored by diff and status + +* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now + able to be used. (John A Meinel) + +* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows + +* Fix for SFTP transport under windows when using interactive auth + +* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr + status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503) + +* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid + email address. (Marien Zwart) + +* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. + (Harald Meland) + +* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is + now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko) + +* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer) + +* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations + that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool) + +* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. + (Martin Pool) + +* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. + (Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413) + +* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool) + +Testing +******* + +* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys. + (Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij) + +* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool) + +* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley) + +* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read + the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under + Windows. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko) + +* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin. + (John Arbash Meinel) + +* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool) + +* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory. + If adding a new test script please add that to + ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins) + +* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be + imported. (Martin Pool) + +* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale, + and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not + trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running + Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full + platform support should run 'make check' to test the source. + (Robert Collins) + +* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason. + (Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable + reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite). + +* Test SFTP with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir + paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote SFTP tests that + test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer) + +* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file + system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features + not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations + on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code, + see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this. + (Robert Collins). + +* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees, + pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection. + (Robert Collins). + +Internals +********* + +* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree, + to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins) + +* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated + function. (Robert Collins) + +* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save + a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created + if needed). (Robert Collins) + +* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and + ``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location. + (Robert Collins) + +* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that + the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When + given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and + the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is + returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for + signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original + version. (Robert Collins) + +* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing + granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins). + +* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to + ``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to + ``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to + WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always + be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise + ``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins) + +* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree. + (Robert Collins) + +* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:: + + add() + commit() + move() + rename_one() + unknowns() + + (Robert Collins) + +* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins) + +* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool) + +* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin + Pool) + +* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a + query method. (Robert Collins) + +* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave. + (Denys Duchier) + +* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file. + (Michael Ellerman) + +* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``. + (Michael Ellerman) + +* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which + is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the + controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and + 'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins). + +* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the + ``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring + updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module + when they are used. (Robert Collins) + +* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion + for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins) + + +.. + vim: tw=74 ft=rst ff=unix |
