Is it possible to get unreleased fixes on Windows?

Asked by kilroo

It appears (I think) that the problems I am experiencing with bzr-eclipse due to errors of this nature on xmlls and xmlstatus:

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'user_encoding'

...should be solved by the fix committed for https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-xmloutput/+bug/434998

Is there a way I can get that fix on my Windows system now, or will I have to wait for milestone 0.8.6 to be released? I tried moving the plugin that came with the Windows installer to somewhere else and installing the plugin by doing

bzr branch lp:bzr-xmloutput

but I seem to have wound up with 0.8.4 again. Do I need something else there instead of just lp:bzr-xmloutput?

Upon further investigation, it looks as if I do have the latest revision, which (if I'm reading the commit history correctly) should include both the fix and a bump to version 0.8.6.dev. That being the case, I'm not sure why bzr plugins reports 0.8.4 or why xmlstatus still errors out (I am on bzr 2.1.0b3 if that matters). I'm going to do some more investigation, because I suspect I'm just doing something stupid.

I was right, I was doing something stupid. I replaced the xmloutput in my bazaar installation/plugins directory, but not the one in my application data.
