:2.4.0: NOT RELEASED YET
65
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.
