External Compatibility Breaks
*****************************

None.

New Features
************

None.

Improvements
************

* bzrlib.patches.parse_patches can optionally return a list of 'dirty'
  patch headers (prefixed with '===').
  (Kit Randel, #1400567)

Bug Fixes
*********

* 'acceptable_keys' from 'bazaar.conf' is now properly handled.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1249732)

* Option names are now checked to be valid identifiers (including embedded
  dots or hyphens). Also ignore invalid references (i.e. using invalid
  option names) while expanding option values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1235099)

* Fix pyrex version checking to be more robust.
  (Andrew Starr-Bochicchio, #1030521 )

* Forbid more operations for ReadonlyTransportDecorator so no more write
  methods can be used my mistake.  (Vincent Ladeuil, #150196)


API Changes
***********

None.

Internals
*********

* Make all transport put_bytes() raises TypeError instead of AssertionError
  or UnicodeEncodeError when given unicode strings rather than bytes.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #106898)

* Use ssl.match_hostname from the python ssl module and stop carrying a
  specific version that has become obsolete. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1538480)

Changed Behaviour
*****************

* Also honor $XDG_CONFIG_HOME specification on Mac OS X platform.
  (Fabien Meghazi)

Testing
*******

* Fix gpgme test failure starting on wily. (Vincent Ladeuil)
     
* Fix racy http tests (TestBadStatusServer is so simple, it exposes a race
  in python 2.7.9. This happens only when both the http server and client
  are run in the same process.). Only tests are affected.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)
     
* Fix warnings on stderr caused by the atexit handler triggering for the
  wrong reason: the 'config' command should explicitly save the changes when
  modifying or removing an option and not rely on the atexit
  handler. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1331999)

* Handle (minor) incompatible change in python 2.7.6 leading to test
  failures. Only tests are affected. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879)

* Remove wrong assumption about how TCP server and client interact when run
  inside the same process. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1269886).

* Rename assertWarns in bt.test_config so it doesn't clash with the
  assertWarns introduced in recent python (Vincent Ladeuil, #1514210)
    
* Restrict access to '.netrc' in tests or recent python (2.7.5-8) will
  complain. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1233413)

* Skip windows-only tests that start failing with python 2.7.9, there is no
  way to fix them without testing on windows itself.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)
     
* Take python 2.7.6 late (better than never) bugfix in ntpath.py into
  account. Only tests are affected (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879).
