<h3>Notes When Upgrading<a class="headerlink" href="#notes-when-upgrading" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
This won’t happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
(Andrew Bennetts)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="changes">
<h3>Changes<a class="headerlink" href="#changes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>Formatting of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">plugins</span></tt> output is changed to be more human-
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--verbose</span></tt> command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">merge</span></tt> now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">merge</span> <span class="pre">--remember</span></tt> can now be used to set the submit_branch.
(Aaron Bentley)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="features">
<h3>Features<a class="headerlink" href="#features" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">merge</span> <span class="pre">--preview</span></tt> produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)</li>
<li>New smart method <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.get_parent_map</span></tt> for getting revision
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
(Robert Collins)</li>
<li>New smart method, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.stream_revisions_chunked</span></tt>, for fetching
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)</li>
<li>The launchpad plugin now handles lp URLs of the form
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lp://staging/</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lp://demo/</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lp://dev/</span></tt> to use the appropriate
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="improvements">
<h3>Improvements<a class="headerlink" href="#improvements" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)</li>
<li>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--coverage</span></tt> option is now global, rather specific to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span>
<span class="pre">selftest</span></tt>. (Andrew Bennetts)</li>
<li>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">register-branch</span></tt> command will now use the public URL of the branch
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>Tweak the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reannotate</span></tt> code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
Speeds up <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr</span> <span class="pre">annotate</span></tt> with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
(John Arbash Meinel)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="bugfixes">
<h3>Bugfixes<a class="headerlink" href="#bugfixes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)</li>
<li>Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)</li>
<li>Clearer error when <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">version-info</span> <span class="pre">--custom</span></tt> is used without
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--template</span></tt> (Lukáš Lalinský)</li>
<li>Don’t raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)</li>
<li>If a plugin’s test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
error in the tests, then <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">selftest</span></tt> fails, rather than just printing
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)</li>
<li>List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)</li>
<li>New methods <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">push_log_file</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pop_log_file</span></tt> to intercept messages:
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
unittest runner.
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pull</span> <span class="pre">--quiet</span></tt> is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
#185907)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reconfigure</span></tt> can safely be interrupted while fetching.
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reconfigure</span></tt> preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)</li>
<li>Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)</li>
<li>Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
more characters which should be considered valid.
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)</li>
<li>The launchpad plugin now uses the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">edge</span></tt> XML-RPC server to avoid
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>Unknown hostnames when connecting to a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzr://</span></tt> URL no longer cause
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="api-breaks">
<h3>API Breaks<a class="headerlink" href="#api-breaks" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.add_inventory</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">add_revision</span></tt> now require the caller
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
(Martin Pool)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="testing">
<h3>Testing<a class="headerlink" href="#testing" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>selftest now accepts –load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
(Vincent Ladeuil)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="internals">
<h3>Internals<a class="headerlink" href="#internals" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Add a new method <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_result</span></tt> to graph search objects. The resulting
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">SearchResult</span></tt> can be used to recreate the search later, which will
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
are referring to the same repository in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.get_graph</span></tt>.
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)</li>
<li>Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">InterRepository.missing_revision_ids</span></tt> call consistently for all
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">InterRepository.missing_revision_ids</span></tt> is now deprecated in favour of
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids</span></tt> which returns a
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bzrlib.graph.SearchResult</span></tt> suitable for making requests from the smart
server. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>New error <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">NoPublicBranch</span></tt> for commands that need a public branch to
operate. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>New method <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iter_inventories</span></tt> on Repository for access to many
inventories. This is primarily used by the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">revision_trees</span></tt> method, as
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>New method <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">next_with_ghosts</span></tt> on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.get_data_stream</span></tt> is now deprecated in favour of
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Repository.get_data_stream_for_search</span></tt> which allows less network
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch</span></tt> no longer triggers <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_ensure_real</span></tt>,
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)</li>
<li>RemoteTransport’s <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">recommended_page_size</span></tt> method now returns 64k, like
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)</li>
<li>Repository has a new method <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">has_revisions</span></tt> which signals the presence
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)</li>
