Bazaar Development Roadmap

Bazaar makes a release every month, and a major release every six months. The major releases preserve a stable API and are supported by bugfix-only updates at least until the next major release. (See the Release Cycles document for more details.)

What's still to be done for 2.1 (rc in February 2010)?

Mostly not new features, but stabilization and improvement of what's already there.

Enabling Ubuntu Distributed Development to the extent that Launchpad can automatically do nightly builds combining upstream and packaging information into a PPA, specifically by:

Reduced memory usage for foreign-branch imports Improving bzr-git/hg/svn Digging into current import failures

User-visible changes in bzr 2.1:

Lower memory footprint for many operations Faster repository operations

Bug fixes, and especially bugs tagged udd:

More to come, based on analysis of UDD requirements

For 2.2, targeted at Ubuntu MM 10.10, ~August 2010 (still under discussion):

Nested trees, in a way that interoperates with git submodules and svn externals (maybe 2.1 or 2.2)
... including support in the foreign-branch plugins
All-round smarter merges and conflict resolution

Ongoing responsibilities:

Continuing fixes into the 2.0 stable branch
and getting binaries of 2.0.x out and into Ubuntu SRUs

The PatchPilot rotation, to help people improve Bazaar

Discretionary development (individual developers scratching their own itches)

Answering open user questions

Answering questions on the mailing list Making monthly beta and stable releases Maintaining binary builds on Ubuntu and Windows Keeping the Babune test farm green.

As of November 2009, the 2.0 series is our bugfix-only stable series, and the 2.1 series is in beta, targeting a release in February 2010, in time for Ubuntu Lucid.
