6614.2.2
by Vincent Ladeuil
Release 2.7.0 |
14 |
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series. This document |
15 |
outlines the improvements in Bazaar 2.7 vs Bazaar 2.6. As well as |
|
16 |
summarizing improvements made to the core product, it highlights |
|
17 |
enhancements within the broader Bazaar world of potential interest to those |
|
18 |
upgrading. |
|
19 |
||
20 |
Bazaar 2.7.0 is fully compatible both locally and on the network with 2.0, |
|
21 |
2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, and can read and write repositories |
|
22 |
generated by all previous versions. |
|
23 |
||
24 |
python-2.6 EOL'ed |
|
25 |
***************** |
|
26 |
||
27 |
python 2.6 has been EOL'ed since the release of bzr 2.6. The last python 2.6 |
|
28 |
version was released on 2013-10-29. While bzr 2.7 remains compatible with |
|
29 |
python 2.6, no further update of bzr is expected in this regard. |
|

||
31 |
SSL Certificate Verification Support in urllib HTTPS backend |
|
32 |
************************************************************ |
|
33 |
||
34 |
python 2.7 received security updates regarding SSL certificate |
|
35 |
verification. bzr 2.7 relies on the ssl python module for this and as such |
|
36 |
benefit from these security updates. |
|
37 |
||
38 |
This isn't true for python 2.6 so users are encouraged to upgrade. |
|
39 |
||
40 |
Users that cannot upgrade will be warned that the hostname cannot be |
|
41 |
verified and can remove the warnings by setting the ``ssl.cert_reqs`` option |
|
42 |
to ``none``. |
|
43 |
||
44 |
Test reliability |
|
45 |
**************** |
|
46 |
||
47 |
Most of the bug fixes in 2.7 are related to test failures triggered by |
|
48 |
various python 2.7 updates. Among other distributions, debian and ubuntu |
|
49 |
have carried patches that have now part of bzr 2.7. |
