2.5.0 released
Written for Bazaar by Vincent Ladeuil on 2012-03-08
This is bzr-2.5.0, the first release in our new 2.5 stable series.
Bazaar <http://
Bazaar is now available for download from https:/
Installers are available for windows and OSX from the url above too.
This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.5 series (2.5.1, etc, and support it until April 2017), while 2.6 will become our new development series. This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.4 series, with a large number of bugs fixed (~170 for the 2.5 series alone). The 2.5 series provides a faster smart protocol implementation for many operations, basic support for colocated branches. We have started translating bzr with the 2.5 series: https:/
Only a few bugfixes <https:/
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
2.5b6 released
Written for Bazaar by Vincent Ladeuil on 2012-02-10
This is the sixth (and last (really)) beta of the 2.5 series: 2.5b6
Bazaar <http://
2.5.0 is planned to be released in March 2012.
This introduces the support for colocated branches into the '2a' format in a backward compatible way, fix more glitches in the colocated UI, verify https certificates for the urllib https client implementation, fix some more unicode issues and more.
All bugs fixed in previous series known at the time of this release are included.
Details at <https:/
The 2.5 API is now frozen as are the strings for translations.
Since this is our very last beta, I'd like to remind packagers and plugin authors that a special care should be taken to precisely identify which revisions of which plugins are targeted at the 2.5 series and ensure that the plugins are compatible with 2.5b6 (and keep paying attention during the early days of 2.5.0 ;).
A warm thank you to all of you sending feedback, suggestions, even merge proposals making bzr better !
