brz 3.0.0

#########

:Codename: Pelican

:3.0.0: 2019-03-06

brz 3.0.0 is the first release of ``Breezy``, a fork of Bazaar. For more

information, see our release announcement on the Bazaar mailing list and

README.

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 ``brz 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)

 * The ``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option

   has been renamed to ``transform.orphan_policy``.

   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * Backslash (\) is no longer accepted as a path separator

   on platforms where it is not the default path separator,

   e.g. POSIX systems. This is so that filenames with backslashes

   in their name can be added explicitly. (#176263, #165151)

 * One-letter shortcuts for Ubuntu releases are no

   longer supported after 'ubuntu:'. Bazaar's mapping for

   one-letter distroseries had not been updated since natty.

   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * The ``brz lp-mirror-branch`` subcommand has been removed.

   Please use the ``lp-force-branch-mirror`` command from

   the lptools package instead. (Jelmer Vernooij, #518807)

 * Up-to-date checking for Bazaar packaging branches is no

   longer performed, since there are no longer

   any automated imports. (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * ``setuptools`` is now required to build and install Breezy.

   (Jelmer Vernooij)

 * HPSS calls for ``RevisionTree.archive`` and

   ``RevisionTree.annotate_iter`` have been added. (Jelmer Vernooij,

   ignored by operations like branch, diff etc. with a warning as Symlinks

   are not created on Windows.

   (Parth Malwankar, #81689)

 * New ``lp+bzr://`` URL scheme for Bazaar-only branches on Launchpad.

   (Jelmer Vernooij)

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

  are now filtered out when using a subprocess SSH client.
