The Bazaar team is happy to announce availability of a new release of the bzr adaptive version control system. Bazaar is part of the GNU system <http://gnu.org/>. Thanks to everyone who contributed patches, suggestions, and feedback. Bazaar is now available for download from https://launchpad.net/bzr/2.3/2.3.0 as a source tarball or packaged for various systems. This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.3 series (2.3.1, etc, and support it until August 2012), while 2.4 will become our new development series. The 2.1 and 2.2 series will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be EOLed circa September 2011 and will receive only critical bugfixes.) This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.2 series, with a large number of bugs fixed (>130), and some performance improvements. Some features have been enhanced including commits on stacked branches, upgrades of related branches, shortcut URL schemes for ubuntu and debian on launchpad and better conflict resolution. Only bugfixes from other stables series have been included since 2.3b5 so all known fixed bugs are included here. Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
