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)
88
* ``setuptools`` is now required to build and install Breezy.
94
* The 'bisect' plugin is now shipped with brz. (Jelmer Vernooij)
96
* The 'fastimport' plugin is now bundled with Breezy.
99

138

147
variable (https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/).
150

153
* New ``brz cp`` command which copies files (but does not currently track
154
history). (Jelmer Vernooij, start towards #269095)
156
* HPSS calls for ``RevisionTree.archive`` and
157
``RevisionTree.annotate_iter`` have been added. (Jelmer Vernooij,

(Vincent Ladeuil, #1089352)
173
* The ``bisect`` command now works in non-``.bzr`` directories.
176

178
accessible for other users when it starts.

190
Thanks to Augie Fackler for reporting.

194
options. (Jelmer Vernooij, #563692)
