External Compatibility Breaks
*****************************
* ``bzr lp-propose --approve`` now also adds an "Approve" vote to the merge
proposal. (Jonathan Lange)
New Features
************
* ``bzr switch --store`` now stores uncommitted changes in the branch, and
restores them when switching back to the branch. (Aaron Bentley)
* New option '--context' for 'bzr diff' command, to configure the amount of
context (i.e. showing lines that have not changed). Also available as the
named parameter 'context_lines' to bzrlib.diff.internal_diff(). (Paul Nixon)
* The 'grep' plugin is now shipped with bzr. (Jelmer Vernooij)
* The 'ping' plugin is now shipped with bzr. (Jelmer Vernooij)
Improvements
************
* ``bzr help env-variables`` now points users at ``bzr help configuration``
which has much more detailed information on the same stuff.
(Robert Collins)
* ``bzr lp-find-proposal`` now only cares about the revision-id that is
specified, not the branch you use. This was enabled by a new API call in
Launchpad's web service. (Aaron Bentley)
* Implement authentication.conf password obfuscation, the password_encoding
option can now be set to base64. (Florian Dorn)
* Local configurations files (i.e. accessed on the local file system like
``bazaar.conf`` and ``locations.conf``) are now shared, reducing the
number of IOs when querying a configuation option. (Vincent Ladeuil,
#832042)
* ``bzr lp-propose --approve`` now correctly specifies the approved revision
and provides an "Approve" vote from the proposer, allowing for smoother
interaction with downstream merge tools. (Jonathan Lange)
Bug Fixes
*********
* Add a ``progress_bar`` configuration option defaulting to
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``. This can be set in ``bazaar.conf`` or specified from
the command line with ``-Oprogress_bar=text``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #388275)
* ``Authentication.Config`` now always returns unicode user names and passwords.
(Vincent Ladeuil, #514301)
* Fixed a bug where the entire contents of ``/etc/mailname`` is read in.
We only want to read in the first line so that comments could be added
and would be ignored.
(Haw Loeung, #932515)
* Fixed a syntax error in ``doc/ja/user-guide/http_smart_server.txt`` that
causes breakage with docutils 0.9.1.
(Vincent Ladeuil, Jelmer Vernooij, #1066307)
* Support utf8 characters in platform names even without looking inside the
box (Fedora's Schrödinger's Cat).
(Toshio Kuratomi, Vincent Ladeuil, #1195783)
* Warn when ``--show-base`` is used for ``pull`` in a treeless branch
instead of failing. It's useless but harmless. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1022160)
* When a missing referenced chk root error is encountered, bzr now suggests
running ``bzr reconcile --canonicalize-chks``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
* When pushing a specific revision, create the new working tree at
that revision. (#484516, Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
Documentation
*************
* Clarify ``bzr config`` usages especially around other option references
expansion. (Vincent Ladeuil, #996401)
API Changes
***********
* None.
Internals
*********
* Add __iter__ to http ResponseFile. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1184021)
* The launchpad plugin now requires API 1.6.0 or later. This version shipped
with Ubuntu 9.10. (Aaron Bentley)
* Better align with upstream gzip.py in tuned_gzip.py. We may lose a bit of
performance but that's for knit and weave formats and already partly
deprecated, better keep compatibility than failing fast ;)
(Vincent Ladeuil, #1116079)
Testing
*******
* Fix test failures occurring only with LC_ALL=C, when prompting a user,
``stderr`` encoding should be preferred over terminal encoding if
available. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1086209)
