.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
21
* ``bzr switch --store`` now stores uncommitted changes in the branch, and
22
restores them when switching back to the branch. (Aaron Bentley)
24
* New option '--context' for 'bzr diff' command, to configure the amount of
25
context (i.e. showing lines that have not changed). Also available as the
26
named parameter 'context_lines' to bzrlib.diff.internal_diff(). (Paul Nixon)
28
* The 'ping' plugin is now shipped with bzr. (Jelmer Vernooij)
33
* ``bzr help env-variables`` now points users at ``bzr help configuration``
34
which has much more detailed information on the same stuff.
37
* ``bzr lp-find-proposal`` now only cares about the revision-id that is
38
specified, not the branch you use. This was enabled by a new API call in
39
Launchpad's web service. (Aaron Bentley)
41
* Implement authentication.conf password obfuscation, the password_encoding
42
option can now be set to base64. (Florian Dorn)
44
* Local configurations files (i.e. accessed on the local file system like
45
``bazaar.conf`` and ``locations.conf``) are now shared, reducing the
46
number of IOs when querying a configuation option. (Vincent Ladeuil, #832042)
51
* Add a ``progress_bar`` configuration option defaulting to
52
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``. This can be set in ``bazaar.conf`` or specified from
53
the command line with ``-Oprogress_bar=text``. (Vincent Ladeuil, #388275)
55
* Fixed a bug where the entire contents of ``/etc/mailname`` is read in.
56
We only want to read in the first line so that comments could be added
60
* Warn when ``--show-base`` is used for ``pull`` in a treeless branch
61
instead of failing. It's useless but harmless. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1022160)
63
* When a missing referenced chk root error is encountered, bzr now suggests
64
running ``bzr reconcile --canonicalize-chks``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1021537)
66
* When pushing a specific revision, create the new working tree at
67
that revision. (#484516, Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
72
.. Improved or updated documentation.
74
* Clarify ``bzr config`` usages especially around other option references
75
expansion. (Vincent Ladeuil, #996401)
80
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
86
* The launchpad plugin now requires API 1.6.0 or later. This version shipped
87
with Ubuntu 9.10. (Aaron Bentley)
92
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
93
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
94
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.

This is the second beta for the 2.6 series, leading up to a 2.6.0 release in
105
This release includes minor bug fixes.
107
This release includes all bugs fixed in previous series known at the time of
110
Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
111
incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need small updates to work
