27
or memory usage, or better results.

31
the URL scheme when accessing a HTTPS location.

* Add short option alias ``-N`` for ``--no-recurse``.

49
* Two new command hooks, ``pre_command`` and ``post_command``,

provide notification before and after a command has been run.

.. Fixes for situations where bzr would previously crash or give incorrect
57
or undesirable results.

87
onto a registry. (Jelmer Vernooij)

111
* ``Tree.path2id`` now once again accepts a list of path elements
112
in addition to a path. (Jelmer Vernooij)
114
* Turn config option expansion on by default. The only options for which

117
expand=False). (Vincent Ladeuil)
122
.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to bzr's test framework and

suite. This can include new facilities for writing tests, fixes to

spurious test failures and changes to the way things should be tested.
