Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and +features have been added. + +Testing +******* + +* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching + directory names. + (#202778, Martin Pool) + + +bzr 1.3rc1 +########## + +:Released: 2008-03-16 + +Notes When Upgrading +******************** + +* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called + ``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti) + +Changes +******* + +* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will + represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are + interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on. + ``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information. + (Robert Collins) + +* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file. + User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null' + filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable + is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location + for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``. + (Alexander Belchenko, #106117) + +* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone + bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory, + and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin. + (Alexander Belchenko) + +* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev) + +* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or + missing final fields. (Martin Pool) + +Features +******** + +* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is + faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley) + +* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in + the submit branch to determine the email address to send to. + (Jelmer Vernooij) + +Improvements +************ + +* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley) + +* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley) + +* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be + dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of + the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley) + +* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer + filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley) + +* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up + to. (Daniel Watkins) + +* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial + case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches. + (Alexander Belchenko) + +* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log'). + ``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to + extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while + stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging. + (Daniel Watkins) + +* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in + performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges. + Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it + should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not + to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel) + +Bugfixes +******** + +* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in + memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to + hundreds of MB of ram consumption. + (Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel) + +* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes + BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731) + +* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password. + (#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev) + +* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before + invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command. + (#139318, Alexander Belchenko) + +* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers. + (#198793, John Ferlito) + +* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins, + #196618) + +* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s) + for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko) + +* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley) + +* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby) + +* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify + symlinks (James Henstridge) + +* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered + location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version. + (Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569) + +* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of + unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980) + +* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes # + signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838) + +* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError + errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780) + +Documentation +************* + +* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide. + (Neil Martinsen-Burrell) + +API Breaks +********** + +* Support for loading plugins from zip files and + ``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated. + (Alexander Belchenko) + +Testing +******* + +* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins) + +* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root + repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id. + (Robert Collins) + +Internals +********* + +* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to + ``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can + stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for + python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py) + used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe. + (Alexander Belchenko) + +* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for + detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is + now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra + round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins) + +* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute + ``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support + falling back to other repositories when they have partial data. + (Robert Collins) + +* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and + ``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)`` + have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel) + +* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress + ``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for + external users. (Aaron Bentley) + +* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to + register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for + some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the + format.
