bzr 2.3.3
#########
:2.3.3: 2011-05-13
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
2.3 releases.
This fixed a bug in the test suite triggered by python-2.7 deprecating some
tests helpers.
Testing
*******
* Stop using `failIf`, `failUnless`, `failIfEqual`, etc, that give
`PendingDeprecationWarnings` on Python2.7.
(Martin Pool, #760435)
bzr 2.3.2
#########
:2.3.2: 2011-05-12
This is a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier
2.3 releases.
This was never released due to bug #760435 interrupting the release process by
breaking the test suite under python-2.7 on natty.

Improvements
************
* Getting all entries from ``CHKInventory.iter_entries_by_dir()`` has been
sped up dramatically for large trees. Iterating by dir is not the best
way to load data from a CHK inventory, so it preloads all the items in
the correct order. (With the gcc-tree, this changes it (re)reading 8GB
of CHK data, down to just 150MB.) This has noticeable affects for things
like building checkouts, etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #737234)
Bug Fixes
*********
* Bazaar now infers the default user email address on Unix from the local
account name plus the contents of ``/etc/mailname`` if that file exists.
In particular, this means that committing as root through etckeeper will
normally not require running ``bzr whoami`` first.
(Martin Pool, #616878)
* ``bzr merge --preview --pull`` should respect the ``--preview`` option
first, and not actually change the branch tip revision.
(John Arbash Meinel, Dennis Duchier, #760152)
* ``bzr push`` into a repository (that doesn't have a branch), will no
longer copy all revisions in the repository. Only the ones in the
ancestry of the source branch, like it does in all other cases.
(John Arbash Meinel, #465517)
* Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'lock_url' in wait_lock`` error,
especially while trying to save configuration from QBzr.
(Martin Pool, #733136)
* Fix "Unable to obtain lock" error when pushing to a bound branch if tags
had changed. Bazaar was attempting to open and lock the master branch
twice in this case. (Andrew Bennetts, #733350)
* Standalone bzr.exe installation on Windows: user can put additional python
libraries into ``site-packages`` subdirectory of the installation directory,
this might be required for "installing" extra dependencies for some plugins.
(Alexander Belchenko, #743256)
* When reporting a crash without apport, don't print the full list of
plugins because it's often too long.
(Martin Pool, #716389)
API Changes
***********
None.
Testing
*******
* FreeBSD8 has switched to python-2.7 which revealed a re-occurrence of a test
failure in the launchpad plugin. ``xmlrpclib.py`` on natty carries a patch
that is not in python-2.7 upstream and masked the issue. An additional fix
has been added in the interim
(<http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue8194> should be fixed
in python > 2.7.1). (Vincent Ladeuil, #654733)
