91
* Fix a nasty corner case merging changes into a tree with changed

symlinks when pushing from bzr into git.
95
* Fix installation on Windows. (Raoul Snyman, #1818947)
97
* Fix switching between branches while preserving uncommitted changes in git.

(Jelmer Vernooij, #1820606)
100
* Return consist errors from ``Branch.get_revid`` and
101
``Repository.get_revid_for_revno`` when the revision
102
number is invalid. (Jelmer Vernooij, #701953)

External Compatibility Breaks
147
*****************************
149
* The bzr command has been renamed to brz, to prevent clashes with upstream
151
(Martin Packman, Jelmer Vernooij)
153
* The --prefix/-p argument for ``brz diff`` now defaults to -p1 rather
154
than -p0. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1695126)
156
* The ``brz register-branch`` command from the Launchpad plugin has been
157
removed, because it has not worked for at least five years: it relies on
158
password authentication rather than SSO, the relevant systems no longer
159
have firewall-level access to the outside world, and in general the
160
Mirrored branch type is deprecated. Either just push the branch to
161
Launchpad or use code imports instead
162
(https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports).
163
(Colin Watson, #254567, #483689)
165
* brz no longer supports building the C extensions using Pyrex.
166
Only Cython is supported. (Jelmer Vernooij)

169
URL schemes "http+pycurl://" and "https+pycurl://" has been dropped.

176
removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
178
* The setting to ignore missing C extensions has been changed from
179
``ignore_missing_extensions=True`` to
180
``suppress_warnings=missing_extensions``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
182
* Remove format names as options to ``brz init`` and ``brz
183
init-repository``.. Now you must use ``brz init --format=...``.
184
This simplifies ``brz init --help``.
185
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #330494)

188
``python-gpgme``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1702308)

out to the gnupg command. The ``gpg_signing_command`` option has been
192
removed. (Jelmer Vernooij, #847388)
194

195

on platforms where it is not the default path separator,

e.g. POSIX systems. This is so that filenames with backslashes
201
in their name can be added explicitly. (#176263, #165151)
203
* One-letter shortcuts for Ubuntu releases are no
204
longer supported after 'ubuntu:'. Bazaar's mapping for
205
one-letter distroseries had not been updated since natty.
208
* The ``brz lp-mirror-branch`` subcommand has been removed.
209
Please use the ``lp-force-branch-mirror`` command from
210
the lptools package instead. (Jelmer Vernooij, #518807)
212
* Up-to-date checking for Bazaar packaging branches is no
213
longer performed, since there are no longer
214
any automated imports. (Jelmer Vernooij)

user specify either ``git+ssh`` or ``bzr+ssh``.

279
variable (https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/).
282

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

* HPSS calls for ``RevisionTree.archive`` and
289
``RevisionTree.annotate_iter`` have been added. (Jelmer Vernooij,

310
* The ``bisect`` command now works in non-``.bzr`` directories.
313

315
accessible for other users when it starts.
