I'm happy to announce the 1.1 release of the Bazaar version
control
system. This release consolidates the changes in 1.0, and
also
contains substantial improvements to diff, merge, annotate,
the http
transport, and many other areas.
This release is functionally identical with the 1.1 release
candidate
of last week, whose changelog is shown below.
Thanks to everyone who contributed changes, suggestions, bug
fixes or
reports. They're much appreciated by Bazaar developers and
users.

Packages and installers will follow soon.

> 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)
