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
67
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.5 series (2.5.1, etc, and support it
68
until April 2017), while 2.6 will become our new development series.
70
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.4 series, with a large number
71
of bugs fixed (~170 for the 2.5 series alone). The 2.5 series provides a
72
faster smart protocol implementation for many operations, basic support for
73
colocated branches. We have started translating bzr with the 2.5 series:
74
https://translations.launchpad.net/bzr, more than 20 languages have already
75
been registered but these are the early days, contributions welcome.
77
Only a few bugfixes have been included since 2.5b6 so all known fixed bugs
80
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
