Release notes 

This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we will only make bugfix
releases on the 2.7 series (2.7.1, etc), while 2.8 will become our new
development series.

This a bugfix release over the 2.6 series focusing on test issues triggered by
various python 2.7 updates.

All known fixed bugs are included here.

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

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

None.

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

None.

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

* bzrlib.patches.parse_patches can optionally return a list of 'dirty'
  patch headers (prefixed with '===').
  (Kit Randel, #1400567)

Bug Fixes
*********

* 'acceptable_keys' from 'bazaar.conf' is now properly handled.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1249732)

* Option names are now checked to be valid identifiers (including embedded
  dots or hyphens). Also ignore invalid references (i.e. using invalid
  option names) while expanding option values. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1235099)

* Fix pyrex version checking to be more robust.
  (Andrew Starr-Bochicchio, #1030521 )

* Forbid more operations for ReadonlyTransportDecorator so no more write
  methods can be used my mistake. (Vincent Ladeuil, #150196)

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

None.

Internals
*********

* Make all transport put_bytes() raises TypeError instead of AssertionError
  or UnicodeEncodeError when given unicode strings rather than bytes.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #106898)

* Use ssl.match_hostname from the python ssl module and stop carrying a
  specific version that has become obsolete. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1538480)

Changed Behaviour
*****************

* Also honor $XDG_CONFIG_HOME specification on Mac OS X platform.
  (Fabien Meghazi)

Testing
*******

* Fix gpgme test failure starting on wily. (Vincent Ladeuil)

* Fix racy http tests (TestBadStatusServer is so simple, it exposes a race
  in python 2.7.9. This happens only when both the http server and client
  are run in the same process.). Only tests are affected.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)

* Fix warnings on stderr caused by the atexit handler triggering for the
  wrong reason: the 'config' command should explicitly save the changes when
  modifying or removing an option and not rely on the atexit
  handler. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1331999)

* Handle (minor) incompatible change in python 2.7.6 leading to test
  failures. Only tests are affected. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879)

* Remove wrong assumption about how TCP server and client interact when run
  inside the same process. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1269886).

* Rename assertWarns in bt.test_config so it doesn't clash with the
  assertWarns introduced in recent python (Vincent Ladeuil, #1514210)

* Restrict access to '.netrc' in tests or recent python (2.7.5-8) will
  complain. (Vincent Ladeuil, #1233413)

* Skip windows-only tests that start failing with python 2.7.9, there is no
  way to fix them without testing on windows itself.
  (Vincent Ladeuil, #1451448)

* Take python 2.7.6 late (better than never) bugfix in ntpath.py into
  account. Only tests are affected (Vincent Ladeuil, #1303879).
