[Gnu-arch-users] Bazaar 1.2

[Robert Collins]

Bazaar 1.2 has been released.

The release includes:
* Aaron Bentleys backbuilder, which creates reference trees via both forward 
and reverse patching.
* Many UI changes
* Build fixes for Solaris
* Doxygen library documentation
* Support for controlling *.orig files via arch.
* Per file conflict resolution tracking.
* All tla 1.3 changes, and most of tla 1.4.
* The debian build produces a -dbg package to ease problem reporting.
* new log, export commands.
* Manpage created from baz help output (from Hans Niedermann). 

Bugfixes:
* Apply-delta -t was broken
* Arch cache & merge performance tuning.
* revision library inode signatures were checked too often.
* during update, when we know the state of the tree matches a revision, snap an 
inode signature.
* The cache was mis-handling missing cache paths.
* Cached deltas will not be used when performing archive mirroring.
* merge would occasionally panic due to not handling inaccessible archives 
correctly.
* when offline, failing sftp connections could race and have the process killed 
via SIGPIPE.

Where to get Bazaar ?
The Bazaar homepage at http://bazaar.canonical.com/ lists binary and source 
locations for bazaar.

Key user visible changes:
========================
* new 'log' command, follows ancestry to give you a complete linear log of 
commits.
* new 'export' command, allows you to export a branch or revision without its 
Arch metadata.
* import now takes a --automatic parameter. When supplied import will convert a 
directory 
  on disk to an arch project tree, and import it into an archive.

Community patches:
=================
Baz incorporates many patches for the tla codebase that it is based on
from the community. Thank you to the coders of those patches ...

Annotate:
========
Annotate functionality was planned for this release, but for various reasons 
missed the
release. However, the code is working in a somewhat rough form,
address@hidden/bazaar--annotate--1.2 located at
http://people.ubuntu.com/~robertc/address@hidden contains
the working code, which will be merged into the baz 1.3 branch shortly.

Documentation:
=============
New documentation for baz 1.2 will be available shortly - stay tuned.
