Push to 1.0: Performance and Documentation
Major 1.0 feature goals are in place. The focus from here to 1.0 is performance and documentation. There has been impressive progress on performance since bzr 0.8. See the performance results for [:Performance/0.9:0.9], [:Performance/0.10:0.10] [:Performance/0.11:0.11], and [:Performance/0.12:0.12]. We expect 1.0 to release by March 2007 with performance equivalent to the best in the field.
extend the SmartServer (bzr as a daemon, effectively) for high speed network operations (first landed in 0.11).
- optimise file system access (tune our code and data structures to minimise probable disk I/O and disk seeking)
- optimise file formats for performance without sacrificing proven correctness and completeness
