7
etc) while 3.2 will become our new development series.

Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series. This document

19
2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 as well as Breezy 3.0, and can read
20
and write repositories generated by all previous versions.
26
The 3.1 series will be the last Breezy release series that supports Python 2.7.
27
Release series 3.2 and later will only support Python 3.5 and later.
32
``brz init-repo`` has been renamed to ``brz init-shared-repo``
33
to emphasize that it creates
34
shared repositories rather than just any kind of repository.
36
``brz sprout`` is now an alias for ``brz branch``.

A new ``brz land`` command can merge merge proposals
42
on Launchpad, GitHub or GitLab instances.

The ``brz patch`` command (previously bundled in bzrtools) can apply
47
The ``brz clone`` command can clone an entire local or remote control
48
directory, rather than just a single branch (as the ``brz branch`` command does).

Better detection of other version control systems
51
*************************************************
53
Breezy can now detect local Subversion, Fossil and Mercurial
54
repositories and notify the user about conversion
57
It will also detect and inform about remote Mercurial, Fossil, CVS-Pserver and
58
Subversion repositories.
63
This release improves support for by-reference nested trees in Breezy, both
64
in the Bazaar and Git formats.
66
Note that nested tree support is not complete yet, and commands for creating
67
nested trees are still hidden.
72
This release contains a large number of fixes for the Git support
73
in Breezy, both for crash fixes and performance.
75
There is also improved support for honoring more of the
76
standard Git configuration variables in e.g. ~/.gitconfig.
78
Repositories with Git submodules can now be imported into
