Bazaar 1.0 has been released.

The release includes:
Some key UI changes
Many community patches incorporated.
Bazaar format archives are supported equally with tla format archives.

Where to get Bazaar ?
The Bazaar homepage at http://bazaar.canonical.com/ lists binary and source=
 locations for bazaar.

Key UI changes:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
* new command 'diff' which does the obvious
* new command 'switch', which allows one to change to a different branch
  in one step, preserving local changes.
* add will not add control paths or paths that do not exist
* tag renamed to branch, which will branch the local tree if given one
  parameter, or act as tag if two parameters are given
* make-archive creates baz format archives by default.

Community patches:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Baz incorporates many patches for the tla codebase that it is based on
from the community. Thank you to the coders of those patches ...=20

Baz format archives and the GNU Arch protocol:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Baz now creates bazaar format archives. While we started out with the
intent to solely create an improved user interface, we have recognised
that there are model issues that we will have to address in the near
future, and Bazaar 1.0 takes the first steps in this direction. As
usual, we'll be more than happy to offer submission branches to the GNU
Arch mainline for any of the alterations we have made. We've taken the
step of creating a separate archive format to prevent any accidental
compatibility issues prior to such changes propagating to the GNU Arch
mainline.=20

At this point the Bazaar archive formats changes are limited to:
* the archive signature
* .archive-version is listed in /.listing
* the category and branch directories have been flattened, and
archive-setup will not create anything less than a version.

Cheers,
Rob
