* The names of colocated branches are used as branch nicks if no nick is
31
specified. (Aaron Bentley)
29
* ``bzr branches`` will now also list sibling branches when
30
the current location is a lightweight checkout of a branch in
31
a shared repository. (Jelmer Vernooij)

.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect

or undesirable results.

* Disable ssl certificate verification on osx and windows until a native
40
access to the the root certificates is provided there.

* Connecting with HTTPS via HTTP now correctly uses the host name of the

* Fixed merge tool availability checking and invocation to search the

Windows App Path registry in addition to the PATH. (Gordon Tyler, #939605)

.. Improved or updated documentation.
52
* The alpha-quality texinfo sphinx builder has been deprecated. Sphinx >=
53
1.1.2 now provides a better one. Most of the documentation can now be
54
generated to the texinfo format with ``make texinfo-sphinx``. This will
55
generate both the ``.texi`` files and the ``.info`` ones.

78
versions. (Vincent Ladeuil, #956027)

This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we
87
will only make bugfix releases on the 2.5 series (2.5.1, etc, and support it
88
until April 2017), while 2.6 will become our new development series.
90
This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.4 series, with a large number
91
of bugs fixed (~170 for the 2.5 series alone). The 2.5 series provides a
92
faster smart protocol implementation for many operations, basic support for
93
colocated branches. We have started translating bzr with the 2.5 series:
94
https://translations.launchpad.net/bzr, more than 20 languages have already
95
been registered but these are the early days, contributions welcome.
97
Only a few bugfixes have been included since 2.5b6 so all known fixed bugs
100
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
