-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Bazaar team and community, I'm happy to announce availability of a new release of the bzr adaptive version control system.
Bazaar <http://bazaar.canonical.com/> is a Canonical project and part of the GNU project <http://gnu.org/> to produce a free operating system. Thanks to everyone who contributed patches, suggestions, and feedback. Special thanks are due Vincent Ladeuil, without whom this release would not have made it out the door in time to be a part of the next Ubuntu Long-Term-Support release (16.04), and from whom I have been learning a great deal. Bazaar is now available for download from https://launchpad.net/bzr/2.7/2.7.0 as a source tarball. There is another source tarball that is nearly identical and equally valid (signed by the same developer) available on PyPI - the Python Package Index.[0] We used to point from PyPI to the source tarball on launchpad, but PyPI[1] now requires us to host any downloads locally. This requires an additional PKG-INFO file which is now part of our normal tarball creation process. Thus, from now on there will be no need for two tarballs. Volunteers are welcome to build a windows and an OSX installer. When those are created they will be available at the above link. Bazaar is also available for *BSD through the ports ecosystem at https://www.freshports.org/devel/bzr/ thanks to Matthew Fuller. This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.7 series (2.7.1, etc), while 2.8 will become our new development series. This is a bugfix release (20 bugs fixed) over the 2.6 series focusing on test issues triggered by various python 2.7 updates. All known fixed bugs are included here. Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series. bzr 2.7 will be the last series with active python 2.6 testing and support. Python 2.6 hasn't received any updates since v2.6.9 of 29 Oct 2013. Python 2.7.9 of 10 Dec 2014 was the oldest version to receive a security fix with ssl library's match_hostname.
