: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.
80
* The ``brz lp-mirror-branch`` subcommand has been removed.
81
Please use the ``lp-force-branch-mirror`` command from
82
the lptools package instead. (Jelmer Vernooij, #518807)
84
* Up-to-date checking for Bazaar packaging branches is no
85
longer performed, since there are no longer
86
any automated imports. (Jelmer Vernooij)
91
* The 'bisect' plugin is now shipped with brz. (Jelmer Vernooij)
93
* The 'fastimport' plugin is now bundled with Breezy.

125

129
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1744626)
131

132
(Jelmer Vernooij, #349143)
134

135
setuptools. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1802647)
140
* Doc generators now support the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment
141
variable (https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/).
144
* The ``repodebug`` plugin is now bundled.
147
* New ``brz cp`` command which copies files (but does not currently track
148
history). (Jelmer Vernooij, start towards #269095)
150
* HPSS calls for ``RevisionTree.archive`` and
151
``RevisionTree.annotate_iter`` have been added. (Jelmer Vernooij,

155
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1803846)
160
* Support Server Name Indication (SNI) when talking to https servers.
161
Cherry-picked from lp:~vila/bzr/1089352-sni-support
162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #1089352)
164
* The ``bisect`` command now works in non-``.bzr`` directories.
167
* When creating ``authentication.conf``, umask is now set so only the
168
current user can read the file. Breezy warns if the file is
169
accessible for other users when it starts.
170
(Joke de Buhr, Jelmer Vernooij, #475501)
172
* Support ``brz commit -x`` in combination with iter_changes.

176
mainline in ``brz log``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #726466)

179
are now filtered out when using a subprocess SSH client.
181
Thanks to Augie Fackler for reporting.
182
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1710979)
184

185
options. (Jelmer Vernooij, #563692)
187
* Support automatic rename tracking into new directories.
190
* Avoid writing directly to sys.stdout, but use self.outf in

Command implementations instead. (#268573, B. Clausius)

194
on platforms that support it. (Jelmer Vernooij, #81844)

* Restore absolute URLs in branch reference URLs. This is
221
needed for backwards compatibility with Bazaar.
222
(Jelmer Vernooij, #1803845)
227
* Various documents have been updated to explain that Breezy is a fork
230

Use lazy registration on ``breezy.branch.format_registry``
264
instead. (Jelmer Vernooij)

Launchpad. (Jelmer Vernooij, #723183)

348
e.g. leaking keys into the users' GNUPG directory.
349
