A Breezy status update

[Jelmer Vernooij]

We're making good progress on the first Breezy release. A
current list of targeted bugs for the 3.0.0 release can be found on
https://launchpad.net/brz/+milestone/3.0.0

This list is not set in stone; the only hard blocker is the port to python 3,
though we would also like to make backwards incompatibile changes now rather
than later.

Progress so far is documented in the release notes at
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~brz/brz/trunk/view/head:/doc/en/release-notes/brz-3.0.txt

To summarize, major changes are:
 * Dropped support for python < 2.7 and pyrex
 * Dropped support for older Windows versions (< Vista)
 * Dropped pycurl HTTP support - no more http+blah:// URLs
 * Dropped all deprecated functionality
 * Removed API versioning support
 * Bundled email, stats, upload, bisect, fastimport plugins
 * Imported commands from bzrtools: import, fetch-ghosts
 * Fixed various upstream paramiko issues
 * Fixed SNI support

On the Python front 3, almost all the large semi-automated refactoring
changes have been done, just some imports and some minor fixers
remain. Enough scattered fixes around the codebase have been made so
the core selftest command can run and produce useful results, even for
tests using full isolation and branch creation. A selection of leaf
modules pass their own tests on Python 3, though many more require
correct annotation of string types in test.s

If there are any bugs in bazaar you think should be targeted for breezy, please
use the "Also affects" link for the bazaar bug to mark it as also affecting
"brz".

If you're interested in helping out, bugs tagged 'easy' in bzr are a good place
to start - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bugs?field.tag=easy
