Bazaar Release Notes
####################

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1

bzr 2.6b2
#########

:2.6b2: NOT RELEASED YET

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

.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.

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

.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.

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

.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance 
   or memory usage, or better results.

* Colocated branches can now be addressed using the 'co:NAME' rather than
  the more complex 'file://.,branch=NAME'. (Jelmer Vernooij, #833665)

Bug Fixes
*********

.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
   or undesirable results.

Documentation
*************

.. Improved or updated documentation.

* Force format registration to avoid generate_docs.py traceback when the
  registry is empty. (Vincent Ladeuil, #956860)

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

.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
   bzrlib.

Internals
*********

.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin 
   developers, but interesting for bzr developers.

Testing
*******

.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and 
   suite.  This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to 
   spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.


bzr 2.6b1
#########

:2.6b1: 2012-03-15

This is the first beta for the 2.6 series, leading up to a 2.6.0 release in
August 2012.

This release includes ssl certificates verification from the urllib-based
http implementation turned on by default, fixes some UI issues around
colocated branches, documentation fixes and more.

This release includes all bugs fixed in previous series known at the time of
this release.

Beta releases are suitable for everyday use but may cause some
incompatibilities with plugins.  Some plugins may need small updates to work
with 2.6b1.

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

None.

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

* Access to HTTPS URLs now uses the urrllib implementation by default.
  For the old pycurl-based implementation, specify ``https+pycurl://`` as
  the URL scheme when accessing a HTTPS location.
  (Jelmer Vernooij, #125055)

* Add short option alias ``-N`` for ``--no-recurse``.
  (Jelmer Vernooij, #945904)

  transport.http.get() . (Vincent Ladeuil, #924746)

* ``bzr rmbranch`` now supports removing colocated branches.
  (Jelmer Vernooij, #920653)

* ``bzr rmbranch`` no longer removes active branches unless ``--force``
  is specified. (Jelmer Vernooij, #922953)

* ``bzr verify-signatures`` now shows a progress bar.
  (Jelmer Vernooij)

* Two new command hooks, ``pre_command`` and ``post_command``,
  provide notification before and after a command has been run.
  (Brian de Alwis, Jelmer Vernooij)

Bug Fixes
*********

* Fix ``bzr config`` display for ``RegistryOption`` values.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #930182)

* Option values set on locked branches should be saved only when the branch
  is finally unlocked. (Vincent Ladeuil, #948339)

* Document "bzr lp-propose", "bzr register-branch" and
  the other Launchpad plugin commands in bzr(1).
  (Jelmer Vernooij, #843801, #163995)

* Generate ``ENVIRONMENT`` section in bzr(1) from known environment variable
  list rather than hardcoding. (Jelmer Vernooij, #197618)

  accidentally be interpreted as a roff macro in bzr(1).
  (Jelmer Vernooij, #711079)
