On behalf of the QBzr developers team, I'm happy to announce the shining
new 0.14 release of QBzr, code-named "Eucalyptus"!
The main reason for releasing 0.14 so quickly after 0.13.1 is the desire
to get it included into the next Ubuntu release, "Karmic Koala". We'll
gratefully accept any help anyone can offer to achieve this goal ;-)
Despite a short development cycle, this release incorporates a lot of
improvements, in particular 5 new q-dialogs, and many other improvements
and bug fixes.
What is QBzr?
-------------
QBzr is a cross platform, Qt-based front-end for Bazaar, providing GUI
applications for many core bzr commands. In addition, it provides
several special dialogs and helper commands. Equivalents for core bzr
commands have the same names as CLI commands but with a prefix of "q".
Today QBzr 0.14 provides 30 user commands, 24 of them based on core
commands. QBzr works smoothly on all major platforms with Qt/PyQt 4.4.x
or later.
Note: QBzr's applications are the core "GUI dialogs" in several major
Bazaar projects including:
* Bazaar Explorer
* QBzr-Eclipse
* TortoiseBzr (Windows only)
So all testing, bug fixing and improvements made to QBzr benefits all of
these projects. To help with any of these, please visit QBzr on
