<h3>Notes When Upgrading<a class="headerlink" href="#notes-when-upgrading" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
‘knit’, as an evolution of to the ‘weave’ format used in 0.7. Local
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
operations including ‘init’, ‘init-repo’, and ‘upgrade’ take a
–format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
will keep the same format.</p>
<p>It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
formats is shown by ‘bzr info’.</p>
<p>bzr 0.8 now allows creation of ‘repositories’, which hold the history
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
the new ‘bzr init-repo’ command. Branches exist as directories under
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
indicating the current revision of the branch.</p>
<p>bzr 0.8 also supports ‘checkouts’, which are similar to in cvs and
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
already-committed revisions. A new ‘update’ command is also available.</p>
<p>Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
‘metaweave’ format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
arrangement.</p>

<h3>Improvements<a class="headerlink" href="#improvements" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>

<li><p class="first">SFTP paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp

<li><p class="first">The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
failure. FTP put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
SFTP did). (Daniel Silverstone)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bzr_man.py</span></code> file has been removed. To create the man page now,
use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">./generate_docs.py</span> <span class="pre">man</span></code>. The new program can also create other files.

<li><p class="first">Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Two new commands ‘bzr checkout’ and ‘bzr update’ allow for CVS/SVN-alike
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but

work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)</p>
