* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
40
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
45
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
47
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)

* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
50
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
51
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
53
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
54
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
56
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up

* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
60
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
63
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
41
66
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
42
67
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.

Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it

* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.1, which properly quotes #
94
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
95

* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
101
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
103
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
63
104
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)

* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError

* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
128
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
129
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
130
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.

133
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for

falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.

* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
149
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
150
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
97
152
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
98
153
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
