Aaron has announced a bzr plugin fault-line:

It works by looking at previous revisions where the file was changed,
and seeing what test files were changed at the same time. You can
specify the files, or it will autodetect them by looking at your working
tree.

We’re going to release bzr 2.2b4 this week, which will be the final beta for the bzr 2.2 series and the start of the 2.2 release branch.  From this point on the 2.2 will be an API freeze, so that any plugins that are updated to work with 2.2b4 will also work with 2.2.0 and future bugfix updates.  We plan to do 2.2.0 at the end of July.

2.2 brings a bunch of performance, correctness and usability improvements.

Parth announced bzr-grep 0.2.0.  Amongst other things there are performance enhancements such that Eli says:

Thanks, this looks great. I just tried it on Windows XP searching for a fixed string in the Emacs repository — took 28 seconds with a cold cache and only 7.5 with a warm cache, which is impressive.

By contrast, “grep -F -R” (with suitable –exclude patterns, to prevent it from searching binary files and inside .bzr) took about 12.5 seconds with a warm cache.

Loggerhead can be a bzr plugin

Loggerhead, one of the web viewers for Bazaar, can now be installed as a bzr plugin, which makes it easier to get it up and running:

bzr branch lp:loggerhead ~/.bazaar/plugins/loggerhead
cd ~/myproject
bzr serve --http

Then you have a browser for all that project’s history up and running on port 8080.

Loggerhead can still be used in the previous ways, as a standalone daemon or embedded within WSGI.
