Baz is a revision control system, an arch-based fork of tla (GNU arch). Baz is free software licensed under the GPL. Its development has been superseded by that of Bazaar.
[edit] History
The software that was originally called Bazaar was an implementation of the GNU arch protocol. It was a fork of tla, the original implementation of the protocol. The Baz tree fork from tla was announced by Robert Collins on October 29, 2004. . This version of Baz is often referred to as baz, after its command-line tool.
Canonical Ltd supported the development of this variant of the software until 2005, when they announced the creation of Bazaar, a completely new program written in Python. All of Canonical Ltd's sponsored development effort moved into the new design and implementation. The original Bazaar is now unmaintained.
When Canonical Ltd releases the final version of Bazaar it will be called Bazaar 2.0 and will succeed the arch-based baz 1.x releases.
January 30, 2006 was the last release of the arch-based Bazaar. (1.4.2-5)
