|
8 |
while 2.5 will become our new development series. |

**************************************** |
|
34 |

35 |
Bazaar 2.4.0 is the first version of bzr to drop support for python |
|
36 |
versions before 2.6. The 2.3 series will still be maintained in bugfix |

mode for people who need older versions of python. You can also use |
38 |
Launchpad to nominate fixes for 2.3. We can't fix everything, but that can |
|
39 |
help guide us to what people are running into. Upgrading to python2.6 |
|
40 |
allows us to clean up the syntax in our files, and makes it easier to work |
|
41 |
on python3 compatibility. |

by John Arbash Meinel
Update whatsnew and release-notes to reflect the new reality. |
54 |
too if the config entry ``branch.fetch_tags`` is set to True. Operations |
55 |
like branching, merging or pulling will still always copy new tags visible |
|
56 |
in ``bzr tags``. When the config is set, it will now also copy the |
|
57 |
revisions and their ancestry. This way tagged revisions will always be |
|
58 |
present, so that operations like ``bzr log -r tag:foo`` will always work. |

Option values can now refer to other options in the same configuration file |
76 |
by enclosing them in curly brackets (``{option}``). This is an opt-in |

|
78 |
declared in ``bazaar.conf`` and no other file. |

Changelog merge plugin |
81 |
********************** |
|
82 |
||
83 |
The ``changelog_merge`` plugin has been added. It provides a merge hook |
|
84 |
to automate merging of changes to ``ChangeLog`` files in GNU's change log |
|
85 |
format. Refer to ``bzr help changelog_merge`` for documentation on how to |
|
86 |
enable it and what it can do. |

thrashing (the fix was backported to bzr-2.3.2). We also updated several |
94 |
code paths that were updating the WT state using an O(tree) operation to |
|
95 |
one that was an O(changes) operation. A possibly incomplete list is as |

follows for running commands on a 70k file tree:: |

Faster stacked branches |
117 |
*********************** |
|
118 |
||
119 |
Creating a stacked branch from a smart server with ``bzr branch |
|
120 |
--stacked`` is a bit faster now. For small branches it does 20% fewer |
|
121 |
network roundtrips. Other operations where a local branch is stacked on a |
|
122 |
branch hosted on a smart server will also benefit. |

do an operation after each file is exported. |

Digital Signature Verification |
138 |
****************************** |
|
139 |
||
140 |
A new command ``bzr verify-signatures`` has been added to check that commits |
|
141 |
are correctly signed with trusted keys by GPG. This requires python-gpgme to |
|
142 |
be installed. ``bzr log`` has gained a ``--signatures`` option to list the |
|
143 |
validity of signatures for each commit. New config options ``acceptable_keys`` |
|
144 |
and ``validate_signatures_in_log`` can be set to control options to these |
|
145 |
commands. |
