I'm sorry to hear you will leave the Bazaar project. I think you have 
done amazing work maintaining the Windows builds and installers and 
ensuring everything works well on Windows! Also, I was really looking 
forward to the line ending support and versioned properties that you 
were working on. Your solution is already extremely useful for most 
situations where this is needed. Could it not be made into a plugin 
instead of being incorporated into the core (while the core works on a 
more long term solution that meets all use cases)?

I hope my comments about line ending support were not too strong - I did 
not mean to come across offensive or not appreciative but just wanted to 
offer some constructive criticism.

I think the Bazaar project is great but may suffer without your help on 
Windows....

Cheers,

Nick

project.
| May be it will be better for bzr project too.

away.

| Last year I sent mail with call for new windows maintainer to replace me

| new windows maintainer, please inform me so I can stop.
|
| I want to say to everybody in Bazaar community: please, excuse me if I 
ever
| in the past say something wrong, stupid or bad to you or anybody else,
| or if I did something wrong or bad. I'm sorry.
|
| Thanks to all, most of the time it was real fun for me to participate 
and work

|
| Bye.
