External Compatibility Breaks
221
*****************************
223
* The bzr command has been renamed to brz, to prevent clashes with upstream
225
(Martin Packman, Jelmer Vernooij)
227
* The --prefix/-p argument for ``brz diff`` now defaults to -p1 rather
228
than -p0. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1695126)
230
* The ``brz register-branch`` command from the Launchpad plugin has been
231
removed, because it has not worked for at least five years: it relies on
232
password authentication rather than SSO, the relevant systems no longer
233
have firewall-level access to the outside world, and in general the
234
Mirrored branch type is deprecated. Either just push the branch to
235
Launchpad or use code imports instead
236
(https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports).
237
(Colin Watson, #254567, #483689)
239
* brz no longer supports building the C extensions using Pyrex.
240
Only Cython is supported. (Jelmer Vernooij)

243
URL schemes "http+pycurl://" and "https+pycurl://" has been dropped.

removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
252
* The setting to ignore missing C extensions has been changed from

``ignore_missing_extensions=True`` to
254
``suppress_warnings=missing_extensions``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
256
* Remove format names as options to ``brz init`` and ``brz
257
init-repository``.. Now you must use ``brz init --format=...``.
258
This simplifies ``brz init --help``.
259
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #330494)

262
``python-gpgme``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1702308)

265
out to the gnupg command. The ``gpg_signing_command`` option has been
266
removed. (Jelmer Vernooij, #847388)

on platforms where it is not the default path separator,

275
in their name can be added explicitly. (#176263, #165151)
277
* One-letter shortcuts for Ubuntu releases are no
278
longer supported after 'ubuntu:'. Bazaar's mapping for
279
one-letter distroseries had not been updated since natty.
282
* The ``brz lp-mirror-branch`` subcommand has been removed.
283
Please use the ``lp-force-branch-mirror`` command from
284
the lptools package instead. (Jelmer Vernooij, #518807)
286
* Up-to-date checking for Bazaar packaging branches is no
287
longer performed, since there are no longer
288
any automated imports. (Jelmer Vernooij)
290

353
variable (https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/).

history). (Jelmer Vernooij, start towards #269095)

* HPSS calls for ``RevisionTree.archive`` and
363
``RevisionTree.annotate_iter`` have been added. (Jelmer Vernooij,

are not created on Windows.

384
* The ``bisect`` command now works in non-``.bzr`` directories.
387

389
accessible for other users when it starts.
