:2.1.5: NOT RELEASED YET
22
* Accessing a packaging branch on Launchpad (eg, ``lp:ubuntu/bzr``) now
23
checks to see if the most recent published source package version for
24
that project is present in the branch tags. This should help developers
25
trust whether the packaging branch is up-to-date and can be used for new
26
changes. The level of verbosity is controlled by the config item
27
``launchpad.packaging_verbosity``. It can be set to one of
34
only display if the branch is out-of-date
37
also display single-line up-to-date and missing,
41
(default) display multi-line content for all states

:2.1.4: NOT RELEASED YET
67
The fourth release in our 2.1 series addresses some user-inconvenience bugs.
68
None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on earlier 2.1

Compatibility Breaks

********************
75
* Launchpad has announced that the ``edge.launchpad.net`` instance is
76
deprecated and may be shut down in the future
77
<http://blog.launchpad.net/general/edge-is-deprecated>. Bazaar has therefore
78
been updated in this release to talk to the main (``launchpad.net``) servers,
79
rather than the ``edge`` ones. (Vincent Ladeuil, #583667)

* Avoid UnicodeDecodeError in ``bzr add`` with multiple files under a non-ascii
90
path on windows from symlink support addition. (Martin [gz], #686611)

* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
23
93
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.

Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of

failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with

``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved

and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
