brz 3.0.0

#########

:Codename: Pelican

:3.0.1: NOT RELEASED YET

External Compatibility Breaks

*****************************

 * The bzr command has been renamed to brz, to prevent

   clashes with upstream Bazaar.

   (Martin Packman, Jelmer Vernooij)

 * The --prefix/-p argument for ``bzr diff`` now defaults to -p1 rather

   than -p0. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1695126)

 * The ``brz register-branch`` command from the Launchpad plugin has been

   removed, because it has not worked for at least five years: it relies on

   password authentication rather than SSO, the relevant systems no longer

   have firewall-level access to the outside world, and in general the

   Mirrored branch type is deprecated.  Either just push the branch to

   Launchpad or use code imports instead

   (https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports).

   (Colin Watson, #254567, #483689)

 * brz no longer supports building the C extensions using Pyrex.

   Only Cython is supported. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Support for HTTP support using "pycurl" and the associated

   URL schemes "http+pycurl://" and "https+pycurl://" has been dropped.

   (Jelmer Vernooij, #82086, #377389, #122258, #516222, #545776, #1696602)

 * Support for medusa for FTP tests has been dropped, only

   pyftpdlib is now supported. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * The deprecated ``brz get`` and ``brz clone`` commands have been

   removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * The setting to ignore missing C extensions has been changed from

   ``ignore_missing_extensions=True`` to

   ``suppress_warnings=missing_extensions``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Remove format names as options to ``brz init`` and ``brz

   init-repository``.. Now you must use ``brz init --format=...``.

   This simplifies ``brz init --help``.

   (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #330494)

 * ``python-gpg`` is now used for checking GPG signatures rather than

   ``python-gpgme``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1702308)

 * ``python-gpg`` is now used for signing commits, rather than shelling

   out to the gnupg command. The ``gpg_signing_command`` option has been

   removed.  (Jelmer Vernooij, #847388)

  Cherry-picked from lp:~vila/bzr/1089352-sni-support

  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1089352)

* The ``bisect`` command now works in non-``.bzr`` directories.

  (Jelmer Vernooij)

* When creating ``authentication.conf``, umask is now set so only the

  current user can read the file. Breezy warns if the file is

  accessible for other users when it starts.

  (Joke de Buhr, Jelmer Vernooij, #475501)

* Support ``brz commit -x`` in combination with iter_changes.

Internals

*********

.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin 

   developers, but interesting for brz developers.

Testing

*******

 * A test isolation issue in ``breezy.tests.test_ui`` was fixed,

   which caused ``output_encoding = iso-8859-1`` to be added to the

   users' bazaar.conf. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Newer versions of ``pyftpdlib`` are now supported for running FTP tests.
