Codename: | Pelican |
---|---|
3.0.1: | NOT RELEASED YET |
- The bzr command has been renamed to brz, to prevent clashes with upstream Bazaar. (Martin Packman, Jelmer Vernooij)
- The --prefix/-p argument for bzr diff now defaults to -p1 rather than -p0. (Jelmer Vernooij, #1695126)
- The brz register-branch command from the Launchpad plugin has been removed, because it has not worked for at least five years: it relies on password authentication rather than SSO, the relevant systems no longer have firewall-level access to the outside world, and in general the Mirrored branch type is deprecated. Either just push the branch to Launchpad or use code imports instead (https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports). (Colin Watson, #254567, #483689)
- brz no longer supports building the C extensions using Pyrex. Only Cython is supported. (Jelmer Vernooij)
