I'm happy to announce a candidate for the next release of
Bazaar.
This release contains substantial improvements to diff,
merge,
annotate, the http transport, and many other areas. Full
details are
below.
Please install and test this release and let us know if you
encounter
any problems. We expect to announce the 1.1 final on the
11th of
January with few changes from this rc. Packages and
installers for
various operating systems should be available shortly.

Thanks to everyone who contributed code, bug reports,
suggestions,
documentation or support for this release.

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
---------------------
CHANGES:
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer
supported.
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This
change has
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is
in fact a
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
FEATURES:
* New option to use custom template-based formats in
``bzr version-info``.
(Luká Lalinský)
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used
for files.
(Aaron Bentley)
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday
merging that also supports
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
IMPROVEMENTS:
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Luká
Lalinský,
#90049)
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a
working tree to
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires
the new
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working
trees. Tree-less
branches can also be compared to each other and to
working trees using
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing
between branches,
with or without trees, now supports specific file
filtering as well.
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological
order, with newest
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for
``bzr log`` and the
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the
target branch if
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
(Vincent Ladeuil)
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``.
(Matt Nordhoff)
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause
cherrypicks.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large
trees into smaller
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
BUGFIXES:
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple
range requests.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a
file has been moved.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master
branch share a
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format
in
``log --timezone``. (Luká Lalinský, #178722)
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the
output is
redirected to a pipe. (Luká Lalinský)
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over
the smart protocol
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two
``file:///`` URLs
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http
protocol version 1.1.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles
requests for ghosts
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect
parents to ghosts.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron
Bentley)
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and
incomplete. Fix handling of
user:pass embedded in the urls.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other
conflict types.
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into
lightweight checkouts.
(Aaron Bentley)
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``.
(Andrew Bennetts,
#148087)
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions
still work, even
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
ShenMaq, #177872)
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors
(Aaron Bentley,
#137681)
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of
revisions to be
removed use characters not supported in the terminal
encoding.
(Aaron Bentley)
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of
the requested ranges,
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing
network buffers.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
DOCUMENTATION:
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration
documentation.
(Ian Clatworthy)
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User
Guide and added
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4
sections as
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration
Settings, Conflicts
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text
format in the
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like
browsing that
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian
Clatworthy)
INTERNALS:
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and
WorkingTrees.
(Aaron Bentley)
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its
output. (Aaron Bentley)
* Parent Providers should now implement
``get_parent_map`` returning a
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a
list.
``get_parents`` is now considered deprecated. (John
Arbash Meinel)
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects,
as long as they
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
API BREAKS:
TESTING:
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a
``load_tests``
attribute. ``pydoc
bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert
Collins)
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re``
which helps
filter tests based on a regular expression search on
the tests id.
(Robert Collins)
* New helper function
``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
* New helper function
``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function.
(Robert Collins)
* New helper function
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function.
(Robert Collins)
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re``
which gives a new
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input
that matched a
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite``
which returns a
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re``
which splits a test
suite into two according to a regular expression.
(Robert Collins)
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport
implementations, the http
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication
schemes.
(Vincent Ladeuil)
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters
to the function
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been
deprecated. (Robert Collins)
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been
deprecated. It is
replaced by the new helper methods added in this
release. (Robert Collins)
