.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.
21
.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
26
.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
27
or memory usage, or better results.
32
.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
33
or undesirable results.
38
.. Improved or updated documentation.
43
.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
49
.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
50
developers, but interesting for bzr developers.
55
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and
56
suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to
57
spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.

This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we
66
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.4 series (2.4.1, etc, and support it
67
until February 2013), while 2.5 will become our new development series.
69
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.3 series, with a large number
70
of bugs fixed (>150 for the 2.4 series alone), and some performance
71
improvements. Support for python 2.4 and 2.5 has been dropped, many large
72
working tree operations have been optimized as well as some stacked branches
75
Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.4b5 so
76
all known fixed bugs are included here.
78
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

* Fetching tags when fetching the tip revision of a branch is now
137
controlled by the config setting ``branch.fetch_tags``. The behavior has
138
been reverted to 2.3's not-fetching tagged revisions by default.
