At long last, Bazaar 2.0.0 has been announced. While too late to be included in the OOo DVCS trials conducted earlier this year, we're hoping this release will be of interest to the OpenOffice.org developer community as an alternative client for developers who prefer our UI. Here are the links of interest:
* our new website: http://bazaar-vcs.org/en/ * our new cross-platform GUI: http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/explorer/en/ * a storage efficiency benchmark: http://bazaar-vcs.org/Benchmarks * downloads for 15 platforms: http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download A bzr-hg plugin is under development that will provide transparent access to hg repositories from Bazaar clients. See https://launchpad.net/bzr-hg. When complete, this should allow OOo developers to use our GUI (Bazaar Explorer) and command line tool (bzr) against their OOo repositories as easily as using TortoiseHg/hg. If there is sufficient demand, I'll ask Canonical to setup a Bazaar mirror on Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/) of OOo so developers can develop changes using Launchpad code reviews, bug-branch links and the numerous other nice features available there. bzr-hg will include a feature soon (if it doesn't already) to generate a hg bundle from changes made on a Bazaar feature branch, completing the loop of developing a change. If you would like more information, please contact us on the Bazaar mailing list. (See the web site for details.)
