Codename:
2.0.5:NOT RELEASED YET

Bug Fixes

  • Avoid malloc(0) in patiencediff, which is non-portable. (Martin Pool, #331095)
  • Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files. If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in obsolete_packs. The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that another process already removed the file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
  • Cope with the lockdir held/info file being empty, which seems to happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking a lock. (Martin Pool, #185103)
  • Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much earlier on in the fetch operation. Don’t show this message during upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote repositories. (Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
  • Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
  • Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
  • If bzr push --create-prefix triggers an unexpected NoSuchFile error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful UnboundLocalError. (Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
  • Running bzr command without any arguments now shows bzr version number along with rest of the help text. (Parth Malwankar, #369501)
  • Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied errors. (Inada Naoki, #524560)

Documentation

  • Added location-alias help topic. (Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
