> ------------------------------
> 
> This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
> in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
> without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
> existing file.  This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
> Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
> 
> The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
> so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
> advice.
> 
> This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
> occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
> 
>   BUG FIXES:
> 
>     * Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
>       (Vincent Ladeuil)
> 
>     * Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
>       (John Arbash Meinel)

> ---------------------------------
> 
>   CHANGES:
> 
>     * Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
>       marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
> 
>   NEW FEATURES:
> 
>     * Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
>       tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
> 
>     * ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
>       stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
>       handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
>       implement other plugins.
>       (Vincent Ladeuil)
> 
>     * ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
>       (Aaron Bentley)
> 
>   IMPROVEMENTS:
> 
>     * Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
>       ``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
> 
>     * ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
>       alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
> 
>     * Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
>       which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
>       Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
>       processes which drag in shell extensions.
>       (Mark Hammond)
> 
>     * Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
>       xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
>       dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
>       attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
>       xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
> 
>     * When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
>       commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
>       arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
>       item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
>       counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
> 
>   BUG FIXES:
>   
>     * Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of 
>       control directory. (#139691)
> 
>     * ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
>       single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
>       change during iteration.  (Martin Pool, #277048)
> 
>     * Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
>       that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
>       stack-on location.  (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
> 
>     * Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
>       (Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
> 
>     * Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
>       an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
>       (Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
> 
>     * Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
>       (Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
> 
>     * Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
>       (Jari Aalto)
> 
>     * Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
>       PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
>       (Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
> 
>     * Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
>       (Marius Kruger, #301969)
> 
>     * Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
>       editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
>       started. (Andrew Bennetts)
> 
>     * ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
>       if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
>       in the appropriate sections.
>       (Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
> 
>     * Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
>       than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
>       (John Arbash meinel)
> 
>     * Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
>       (Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
> 
>     * Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
>       (Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
> 
>     * ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
>       tree.  (Aaron Bentley)
> 
>     * ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
>       single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
>       work better with how it splits its requests.
>       (John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
> 
>     * Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
>       the current operation if another action causes the data to be
>       repacked.  (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
> 
>     * ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
>       (Aaron Bentley)
> 
>     * ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes.  (Aaron Bentley)
> 
>     * Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
>       (Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
> 
>     * Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
>       Duffy, #314251)
> 
>   DOCUMENTATION:
> 
>     * Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
>       exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
>       two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
>       (Ian Clatworthy)
> 
>   API CHANGES:
> 
>     * ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
>       ``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
>       used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
>       ``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch 
>       support (e.g. svn).  (Jelmer Vernooij)
> 
>     * ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
>       from ``bzrlib.graph``.  They can still be imported from
>       ``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
>       import them since before 1.0.  (Andrew Bennetts)
>       
>     * The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
>       the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
>       in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
>       ``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
> 
>   TESTING:
> 
>     * An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
>       versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
>       installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
> 
>     * ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
>       the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
>       means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
>       whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
> 
>     * Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
>       ``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
>       features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
>       (Ian Clatworthy)
> 
>   INTERNALS:
> 
>     * Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
>       Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
>       (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
>       minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
>       cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
>       (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
>       character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
>       add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
>       (Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
>       as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
>       respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
> 
>     * ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
>       ``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
>       to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
>       it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
>       more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
>       Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
>       returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
>       (John Arbash Meinel)
>     
>     * ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
>       than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
>       allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
>       more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
> 
>     * Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
>       delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
>       and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
>       against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
> 
>     * The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
>       The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
>       advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
>       (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
>       storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
>       strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
>       guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
>       into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
>       asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
>       can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
> 
>     * ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
>       ``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
>
