Many thanks to everyone who contributed code, bug reports,
suggestions and
general feedback. Keep it coming, and you'll get to see 1.6

Release Notes:
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
- ------------------
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the
documentation, and fixes
to prepare for making rich root support the default format.
Many bugs have been
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation
with older servers.
CHANGES:
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final'
release. This way
users of packaged software won't be bothered with
DeprecationWarnings,
but developers and testers will still see them. (John
Arbash Meinel)
DOCUMENTATION:
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil
Martinsen-Burrell
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User
Guide.
(Ian Clatworthy)
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
- ---------------------
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
CHANGES:
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and
``send`` will pop
the bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of
``mail-user-agent`` variable. (Xavier Maillard)
FEATURES:
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Diff now handles revision specs like
"branch:" and "submit:" more
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the
smart server
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini,
#200575)
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to
pull.
(Aaron Bentley)
BUGFIXES:
* Authentication.conf can define sections without
password.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not
cause a progress bar
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows
``bzr reconcile``
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline
history. ``bzr check``
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel,
#177855)
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP
service.
(Andreas Deininger)
* Catch definitions outside sections in
authentication.conf.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack)
updates inventory
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley,
#181391)
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack)
works correctly even
though search keys are not topologically sorted.
(Aaron Bentley)
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack)
works even when a
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron
Bentley, #177874)
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug
#103133) and emit
a warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking
tests.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not
cause pack collisions.
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in
non-delta knit".
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format
(Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was
due to a bug in the
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that
inappropriately creates
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control
directory.
(Martin Pool)
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to
avoid problems
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second
time.
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit
repositories to
knits and packs due to parsing the entire
revisions.kndx on every graph
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph
API. There was
another regression in knit => knit fetching which
re-read the index for
every revision each side had in common.
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there
was a bug if there
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash
Meinel, #209948)
DOCUMENTATION:
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on
popular plugins and
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best
practices* chapter
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by
community
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark
Hammond)
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
TESTING:
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to
SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread
with an unhandled
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest``
for setting
options for debugging tests, these are complementary
to the the -D
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has
been replaced by
the ``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew
Bennetts)
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid
diagnosis of test
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
* The test suite modules have been modified to define
load_tests() instead
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via
--load-list)
significantly and provides many examples on how to
migrate (grep for
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
INTERNALS:
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required
``name`` parameter,
to avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel
Watkins)
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
* New form `` deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5,
0))`` for making
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in
favour of
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer
Vernooij)
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in
Bazaar source, and
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
API BREAKS:
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the
repository to be
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing
it anyway, but it
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John
Arbash Meinel)
* Repository.get_data_stream,
Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(),
Repository.revision_trees(),
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take
read locks.
(Aaron Bentley)
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` is deprecated, as a start
towards
removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files``
entirely.
(Martin Pool)
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
