bzr 2.1.1
#########
:2.1.1: 2010-03-24
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
Bug Fixes
*********
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
(Martin Pool, #331095)
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526211, #526353)
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
Documentation
*************
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
API Changes
***********
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
