On behalf of QBzr developers I'm pleased to announce
new shining release QBzr 0.9.2!

This release is first step towards QBzr 1.0.

In this release QBzr introduce new qlog view with nice graph of revisions.
qcat window now allow you to see images as images, binary files as hex dump,
and target for versioned symlink. Side-by-side diff now able to show changes
in image files; side-by-side and unidiff will show you changes in executable
bit as well. Also you can specify in command line which files
(added/removed/modified/renamed) you want to see in qdiff.

Also there is many other improvements and many bugfixes.
See the list of user-visible changes below.

I'd like to say big thanks to Gary van der Merwe who wrote this incredible
new qlog with graph (a-la viz), and made many other improvements too
(don't forget performance improvements!).
Without his participation this release would be just regular bugfix release.
Thank you Gary, and keep it up!

NOTES: when upgrading old installation of QBzr to 0.9.2, please uninstall
or remove old files first.
