0.21 "Tilia" - 2011/07/21
-------------------------
What's new in this release:
QBzr 0.21 is companion release for bzr 2.4, and compatible with bzr 2.3.
New features in this release:
Now you can select changes to shelve and unshelve your saved changes with
new shiny qshelve and qunshelve dialogs.
qdiff window has been reworked and all controls moved to a toolbar, similar to
one in qannotate window. Also qdiff toolbar provides you new functions: text
search within active pane and also knob to ignore whitespace changes (it's
also available as command-line option).
User can configure the tab width and this setting affects qdiff, qannotate and
qcat windows. By default tab width equals to 8 characters, user can set new
default value in bazaar.conf as ``tab_width = N`` (either via qconfig or
editing [DEFAULT] section of bazaar.conf). Also user can set individual tab
width for branches in their branch.conf. User can configure tab width via
"View Options" menu in toolbars of qdiff, qannotate.
QBzr provides support for new builtin feature of bzr: mergetools. Now you can
easier configure your favorite diff/merge tool to be used from qconflicts or
context menu in qbrowse (Working Tree browser in Bazaar Explorer).
If you have python-gpgme installed and you have enabled gpg-signatures for
your commits then you can see new messages regarding valid gpg-signatures
available in qlog. Also you can run check of your signatures with new
qverify-signatures command.
Other changes include major rework of qinfo dialog (show the same information
as CLI ``bzr info`` does), qcommit dialog now remembers state of "Show
non-versioned" knob between runs, now it's possible to save old state of the
file from qlog dialog (using context menu in file list), error dialogs has been
improved (now also support apport if available)
and several other improvements and bugfixes (see full changelog for details).

(Dorin ScutaraИ™u, Bug #497832)
* qinfo:
* Significantly simpler implementation that shows the information
provided by Bazaar. This fills in the gaps in the data shown
by qinfo (such as details of checkouts) and means that changes
to 'bzr info' will automatically be reflected in qinfo.
(A. S. Budden, Bug #439624)
* qsubprocess:

from subprocess to the GUI process. (Martin [gz], Bug #686735)

* qcat, qannotate, qdiff, qconfig:

affects qcat, qannotate and qdiff).
The setting is stored in [DEFAULT] section of bazaar.conf,
and is named tab_width (it can also be configured with qconfig). Units
are characters (so 4 means a tab should be displayed with the width of 4
spaces). The default value is 8. The setting can also be adjusted in
branch.conf for specific branches. (Bug #490377, A. S. Budden)
