What's New in Bazaar 2.5?
*************************

Bazaar 2.5 is still under development, and will be released in February 2012.
This document accumulates a high level summary of what's changed.  See the
:doc:`../release-notes/index` for a full list.

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.  This
document outlines the improvements in Bazaar 2.5 vs Bazaar 2.4. As well as
summarizing improvements made to the core product, it highlights
enhancements within the broader Bazaar world of potential interest to
those upgrading.

Bazaar 2.5.0 is fully compatible both locally and on the network with 2.0,
2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, and can read and write repositories generated by all
previous versions.

Overriding configuration options from the command line
******************************************************

The ``-O`` parameter available for all bzr commands allows a user to
override a configuration option from the command line. For example::

  bzr pull -v -Olog_format=line

will change the way the pulled revisions are displayed (the default log
format is ``long``). This a work in progress and only some options are
supported so far.
