+
+bzr 1.11
+########
+
+:Codename: "Eyes up!"
+:Released: 2009-01-19
+
+This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
+in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
+without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
+existing file. 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)
