founders of Ubuntu and Launchpad. Bazaar is Free Software, and is released

under the GNU General Public License.

Bazaar was formerly known as Bazaar-NG, and some documentation still uses
23
that old name. Also, since the Bazaar binary is called "bzr", many times this
24
shorter name is used instead (like Subversion/svn and Mercurial/hg).

Bazaar was formerly known as Bazaar-NG. It's the successor to ``baz``, a fork
24
of GNU arch, but shares no code. (To upgrade from Baz, use the ``baz-import``
25
command in the bzrtools plugin.)
29
* Easy to use and intuitive.
31
Only five commands are needed to do all basic operations, and all
32
commands have documentation accessible via 'bzr help command'.
33
Bazaar's interface is also easy to learn for CVS and Subversion users.
35
* Robust and reliable.
37
Bazaar is developed under an extensive test suite. Branches can be
38
checked and verified for integrity at any time, and revisions can be
39
signed with PGP/GnuPG.
41
* Publish branches with HTTP.
43
Branches can be hosted on an HTTP server with no need for special
44
software on the server side. Branches can be uploaded by bzr itself
45
over SSH (SFTP), or with rsync.
47
* Adapts to multiple environments.
49
Bazaar runs on Linux and Windows, fully supports Unicode filenames,
50
and suits different development models, including centralized.
52
* Easily extended and customized.
54
A rich Python interface is provided for extending and embedding,
55
including a plugin interface. There are already many available plugins,
56
most of them registered at http://bazaar-vcs.org/PluginRegistry.
60
Changes will never be merged more than once, conflicts will be
61
minimized, and identical changes are dealt with well.
63
* Vibrant and active community.
65
Help with Bazaar is obtained easily, via the mailing list, or the IRC
66
channel. Check http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrSupport for details.
