bzr 0.0.8 is now available for download. This is intended as a bugfix
and stabilization release for 0.0.7. The next release will probably
involve a format upgrade to the weave format, which is now being
developed in the bzr.newformat branch.

Thankyou to everyone who sent patches or feedback, and in particular
to Robert Collins for managing integration of many contributions for
this release.
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
Michael Ellerman.
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
Nir Soffer.
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
for the operating system is still tried.
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
INTERNALS:
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
branch.
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
read.
PORTABILITY:
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
