:3.0.0: NOT RELEASED YET
18
External Compatibility Breaks
19
*****************************
21
* The bzr command has been renamed to brz, to prevent clashes with upstream
23
(Martin Packman, Jelmer Vernooij)
25
* The --prefix/-p argument for ``brz diff`` now defaults to -p1 rather
26
than -p0. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1695126)
28
* The ``brz register-branch`` command from the Launchpad plugin has been
29
removed, because it has not worked for at least five years: it relies on
30
password authentication rather than SSO, the relevant systems no longer
31
have firewall-level access to the outside world, and in general the
32
Mirrored branch type is deprecated. Either just push the branch to
33
Launchpad or use code imports instead
34
(https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports).
35
(Colin Watson, #254567, #483689)
37
* brz no longer supports building the C extensions using Pyrex.
38
Only Cython is supported. (Jelmer Vernooij)
40
* Support for HTTP support using "pycurl" and the associated
41
URL schemes "http+pycurl://" and "https+pycurl://" has been dropped.
42
(Jelmer Vernooij, #82086, #377389, #122258, #516222, #545776, #1696602)
44
* Support for medusa for FTP tests has been dropped, only
45
pyftpdlib is now supported. (Jelmer Vernooij)
47
* The deprecated ``brz get`` and ``brz clone`` commands have been
48
removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
50
* The setting to ignore missing C extensions has been changed from
51
``ignore_missing_extensions=True`` to
52
``suppress_warnings=missing_extensions``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
54
* Remove format names as options to ``brz init`` and ``brz
55
init-repository``.. Now you must use ``brz init --format=...``.
56
This simplifies ``brz init --help``.
57
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #330494)
59
* ``python-gpg`` is now used for checking GPG signatures rather than
60
``python-gpgme``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1702308)
62
* ``python-gpg`` is now used for signing commits, rather than shelling
63
out to the gnupg command. The ``gpg_signing_command`` option has been
64
removed. (Jelmer Vernooij, #847388)
66
* The ``bzr.transform.orphan_policy`` configuration option
67
has been renamed to ``transform.orphan_policy``.
70
* Backslash (\) is no longer accepted as a path separator
71
on platforms where it is not the default path separator,
72
e.g. POSIX systems. This is so that filenames with backslashes
73
in their name can be added explicitly. (#176263, #165151)
75
* One-letter shortcuts for Ubuntu releases are no
76
longer supported after 'ubuntu:'. Bazaar's mapping for
77
one-letter distroseries had not been updated since natty.

121
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1744626)
123

124
(Jelmer Vernooij, #349143)
129
* Doc generators now support the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment
130
variable (https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/).
133
* The ``repodebug`` plugin is now bundled.
136
* New ``brz cp`` command which copies files (but does not currently track
137
history). (Jelmer Vernooij, start towards #269095)
139
* HPSS calls for ``RevisionTree.archive`` and
140
``RevisionTree.annotate_iter`` have been added. (Jelmer Vernooij,

147
Cherry-picked from lp:~vila/bzr/1089352-sni-support
148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #1089352)
150
* The ``bisect`` command now works in non-``.bzr`` directories.
153
* When creating ``authentication.conf``, umask is now set so only the
154
current user can read the file. Breezy warns if the file is
155
accessible for other users when it starts.
156
(Joke de Buhr, Jelmer Vernooij, #475501)
158
* Support ``brz commit -x`` in combination with iter_changes.
159
(Jelmer Vernooij, #796582, #403811, #694946, #268135, #299879)
161
* Print a proper error when encountering ghost revisions in
162
mainline in ``brz log``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #726466)

165
are now filtered out when using a subprocess SSH client.
167

168
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1710979)
170

171
options. (Jelmer Vernooij, #563692)
173
* Support automatic rename tracking into new directories.
176
* Avoid writing directly to sys.stdout, but use self.outf in
177
Command implementations instead. (#268573, B. Clausius)
179
* It is now possible to version files with backslashes in their name
180
on platforms that support it. (Jelmer Vernooij, #81844)
182

184

185
backslashes in where backslash is not the path separator.
186
(Jelmer Vernooij, #176263, #165151)
188
* Report correct path in output of ``brz add``.

216
``predicate=``. (Martin Packman)

219
have been renamed to ``Branch.controldir``, ``Repository.controldir``
220
and ``WorkingTree.controldir``, respectively.
221
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1695774)
223

224
have been moved to ``breezy.bzr``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

227
Use lazy registration on ``breezy.branch.format_registry``
228
instead. (Jelmer Vernooij)

250

251
has been added that can be set to False to indicate a repository
252
doesn't support passing revision ids to ``CommitBuilder.commit``.
255
* A new ``RepositoryFormat.supports_overriding_transport`` property

Launchpad. (Jelmer Vernooij, #723183)

312
