<p>This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
pushing to older servers.</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)</li>

<li>Further tweaks to handling of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">add</span></tt> messages about ignored files.
(Jason Spashett, #76616)</li>
<li>Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys</span></tt> will fetch CHK
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)</li>
<li>StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)</li>
<li>When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)</li>

(Martin Pool, #409137)</li>
<li>Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.get_stream_1.19</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.insert_stream_1.19</span></tt> to

compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)</li>
<li>InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that

<p>This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
‘brisbane-core’ format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.</p>
<p>The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
or until the following stable release.</p>
<p>There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.</p>

<h3>Bug Fixes<a class="headerlink" href="#id5" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)</li>
<li>A progress bar is no longer left dangling when <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">selftest</span></tt>
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
displayed test name is always the one that’s actually running.
(Martin Pool, #123688)</li>
<li>Authenticating against an SSH server now uses <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">auth_none</span></tt> to determine
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)</li>
<li>BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">commit</span></tt> no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
(Robert Collins, #282402)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">mv</span></tt> no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">revert</span> <span class="pre">.</span></tt> no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">send</span></tt> now generates valid bundles with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--2a</span></tt> formats. However,
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)</li>
<li>Cope with FTP servers that don’t support restart/append by falling back
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)</li>
<li>Encode the paths in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mbcs</span></tt> encoding on Windows when spawning an
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)</li>
<li>Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)</li>
<li>Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)</li>
<li>Fix <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">AttributeError:</span> <span class="pre">'TestUIFactory'</span> <span class="pre">object</span> <span class="pre">has</span> <span class="pre">no</span> <span class="pre">attribute</span> <span class="pre">'tick'</span></tt>
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
(Martin Pool, #408201)</li>
<li>Fix crash in some invocations of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">status</span></tt> in format 2a.
(Martin Pool, #403523)</li>
<li>Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)</li>
<li>Fixed spurious “Source branch does not support stacking” warning when
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)</li>
<li>Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)</li>
<li>Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)</li>
<li>Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)</li>
<li>Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
lots of backtraces about <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">UnknownSmartMethod</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">do_chunk</span></tt> or
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">do_end</span></tt>. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)</li>
<li>Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)</li>
<li>Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)</li>
<li>The environment variable <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BZR_PROGRESS_BAR</span></tt> set to either <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">text</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">none</span></tt>
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
they’re turned on if <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TERM</span></tt> is not <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dumb</span></tt> and stderr is a terminal.
bzr always uses the ‘text’ user interface when run as a command, so
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BZR_USE_TEXT_UI</span></tt> is no longer needed.
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)</li>
<li>The optional <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_knit_load_data_pyx</span></tt> C extension was never being
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)</li>
<li>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--hardlink</span></tt> option to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">branch</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">checkout</span></tt> is not
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
filtering. (See <<a class="reference external" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193">https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193</a>>.)
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)</li>
<li>There was a bug in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">osutils.relpath</span></tt> that was only triggered on
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
infinite loop while trying to find a ‘relative path’.
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">WorkingTree4.unversion</span></tt> will no longer fail to unversion ids which
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.

<li>Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
(Marius Kruger)</li>
<li>Pushing branches with tags via <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr://</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr+ssh://</span></tt> is much
faster, using a new <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Branch.set_tags_bytes</span></tt> smart server verb rather
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)</li>
