***********************************
Release notes for Bazaar-NG (pre-0)
***********************************

mbp@sourcefrog.net, March 2005, Canberra



Caveats
-------


* There is little locking or transaction control here; if you
  interrupt it the tree may be arbitrarily broken.  This will be
  fixed.

* Don't use this for critical data; at the very least keep separate
  regular snapshots of your tree.


Dependencies
------------

This is mostly developed on Linux (Ubuntu); it should work on Unix,
Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.

The only dependency is Python, at least 2.3 and preferably 2.4.  On
Windows, Python2.4 is required.

You may optionally install cElementTree to speed up some operations.


Installation
------------

The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
directory on your path.  For example::

  ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr

If you use a symlink for this, Python will be able to automatically
find the bzr libraries.  Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
your $PYTHONPATH.

If you use the setup.py script then bzr will be installed into the
specified path.  In this case you must install ElementTree or
cElementTree separately.
