This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of +Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms. + +The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved, +so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear +advice. + +This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can +occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository. + +Bug Fixes +********* + +* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available. + (Vincent Ladeuil) + +* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection. + (John Arbash Meinel) + + + +bzr 1.11rc1 +########### + +:Codename: "Eyes up!" +:Released: 2009-01-09 + +Changes +******* + +* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly + marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy) + +New Features +************ + +* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing + tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger) + +* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential + stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included, + handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to + implement other plugins. + (Vincent Ladeuil) + +* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes. + (Aaron Bentley) + +Improvements +************ + +* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except + ``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424) + +* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an + alternative branch. (Michael Hudson) + +* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension + which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one. + Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for + processes which drag in shell extensions. + (Mark Hammond) + +* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via + xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal + dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been + attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in + xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address. + +* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as + commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the + arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing + item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent + counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond) + +Bug Fixes +********* + +* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of + control directory. (#139691) + +* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a + single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may + change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048) + +* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch + that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default + stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046) + +* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf. + (Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347) + +* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with + an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names + (Adrian Wilkins, #304023) + +* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer. + (Gary van der Merwe, #313498) + +* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris. + (Jari Aalto) + +* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling + PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new. + (Andrew Bennetts, #303206) + +* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno. + (Marius Kruger, #301969) + +* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message + editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be + started. (Andrew Bennetts) + +* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store + if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc' + in the appropriate sections. + (Vincent Ladeuil, #103029) + +* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather + than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch. + (John Arbash meinel) + +* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections. + (Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863) + +* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections. + (Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070) + +* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working + tree. (Aaron Bentley) + +* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a + single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to + work better with how it splits its requests. + (John Arbash Meinel, #303538) + +* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry + the current operation if another action causes the data to be + repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786) + +* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable. + (Aaron Bentley) + +* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley) + +* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log. + (Vincent Ladeuil, #87179) + +* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles + Duffy, #314251) + +Documentation +************* + +* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats + exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced + two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats. + (Ian Clatworthy) + +API Changes +*********** + +* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to + ``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is + used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with + ``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch + support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij) + +* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported + from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from + ``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to + import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts) + +* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to + the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder + in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and + ``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins) + +Testing +******* + +* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr + versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be + installed for 2.5 and 2.4. + +* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to + the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This + means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing + whitespace. (Marius Kruger) + +* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and + ``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending + features, namely content filtering and filtered views. + (Ian Clatworthy) + +Internals +********* + +* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories. + Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half. + (John Arbash Meinel) + +* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have + minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the + cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``. + (John Arbash Meinel) + +* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab + character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't + add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied. + (Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel) + +* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added + as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4`` + respectively. (Ian Clatworthy) + +* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the + ``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and + to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming + it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a + more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'. + Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be + returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order. + (John Arbash Meinel) + +* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more + than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta`` + allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be + more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins) + +* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory + delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes`` + and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete + against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins) + +* The default HTTP handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib. + The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only + advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.) + (John Arbash Meinel) + +* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a + storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of + strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into + guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it + into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when + asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks + can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function + ``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley) + + +.. + vim: tw=74 ft=rst ff=unix |
