* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been

added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)

* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.

This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable

minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and

bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it

just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large

page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)

* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows

incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the

data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
