On behalf of Ian Clatworthy I'd like to announce new release of Bazaar Explorer 0.10.0.

This release provides better advanced commands and tools editing, better integration with Launchpad 
and so on. Please, look at changelog below.

What's new in this release
--------------------------
Please edit ~/.bazaar/explorer/tools.xml (or the equivalent location
on Windows) and rename the top level folder to "My Tools".

Compatibility breaks:

* The Plugins and Advanced Commands actions have moved from the
   Tools menu into the main Bazaar menu.

New features:

* Bazaar > Advanced Commands now launches the qrun dialog by default.
   A preference is provided for users who prefer the old behaviour of
   launching a terminal instead.

* The status bar now provides a button for running lp-open.
   For a repository, the project page on Launchpad can be opened from
   that button if it can be intelligently guessed.

* For feature branches, a details panel is now displayed showing the
   submit delta so far. (This replaces the "Branch changes" experimental
   feature which is no longer available.)

* Numerous useful links have been added for Bazaar Support and
   Bazaar Development as standard tools.

* A toolbox now shares space with the working tree browser. This
   provides faster access to the standard tools, your personal tools
   and tools provided by the current hat, if any.

* A dialog is now provided for adding Tools.

Improvements:

* The default and extended toolbars now include an Advanced action.

* F8 is now a keyboard shortcut for Advanced Commands.

* The Preferences dialog now uses tabs rather than group boxes.
   (This arguably makes preferences harder to find but it scales
   better as new preferences are added later.)

* Custom dialog boxes are now individually configurable so that
   heavyweight checkouts can be used with the qgetnew dialog, but
   feature branches can be made with the custom init dialog.
   The old 'custom-dialogs' setting is no longer used so you
   can delete it from explorer.conf if you wish.
   (A. S. Budden)

Bug fixes:

* Allow switch action for bound branches (heavyweight checkouts).
   (A. S. Budden, Bug #479356)

* Create parent(s) of ~/.bazaar/explorer directory if needed.
   (A. S. Budden, Bug #474812)

Translations:

* Added Greek translation.

About
-----
Bazaar Explorer is a desktop application for using the Bazaar Version Control System. It provides a 
high level interface to all commonly used features, launching "applets" from the QBzr plug-in to 
provide most of the functionality. Alternatively, the applets from the bzr-gtk plug-in can be used 
if it is installed. Bazaar Explorer runs on GNOME, KDE, Windows and Mac OS X. It requires Bazaar 2.0 
or later and QBzr 0.17 or later.
