This is mostly a bug fix release. Here is the full list of changes:

New Features
************

.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.

* Add ``--open`` argument to ``brz propose``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* New ``brz web-open`` command, which opens a branch or
  merge proposal in a web browser. Deprecates ``brz lp-open``.
  (Jelmer Vernooij)

Improvements
************

.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance
   or memory usage, or better results.

Bug Fixes
*********

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

  + Remove use of PyUnicode_FromUnicode, gone in Python 3.11.
  + Fix reference counter tests for Python 3.11.

* Handle unexpected HTTP Status errors from Dulwich, converting them
  to the appropriate Breezy exceptions. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* Handle out of file descriptor errors in ``breezy.dirty_tracker``.
  (Jelmer Vernooij)

* git: Properly decode remote tag names rather than leaving them as bytes.
  (Jelmer Vernooij)

* Fix compatibility with Dulwich >= 0.20.50. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* Fix ``Tree.get_file_mtime`` in shallow git trees. (Jelmer Vernooij)

Documentation

  (Jelmer Vernooij, #1926890, #1837056, #1837053)

API Changes
***********

.. Changes that may require updates in plugins or other code that uses
   breezy.

* Removed ``breezy.revision.ensure_null``, originally added for
  the migation from ``None`` to ``NULL_REVISION``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* New ``Forge.create_project`` method. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* New ``breezy.forge.get_forge_by_hostname`` function.
  (Jelmer Vernooij)

* New ``Tree.is_special_filename`` to match on e.g.
  ``.gitattributes`` and ``.bzrignore``. (Jelmer Vernooij)

Internals
*********

.. Major internal changes, unlikely to be visible to users or plugin
   developers, but interesting for brz developers.

* Switch to using Launchpad REST API for lp: URL lookups,
  rather than XML/RPC. (Jelmer Vernooij)

Testing
*******

.. Fixes and changes that are only relevant to brz'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.

* Increased timeouts since e.g. the setup test takes longer to run
  now we're compiling rust files. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* Raise exception for timed out test rather than killing entire process
  when hitting timeouts. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* Add xfail lists for Mac OS X and Windows. (Jelmer Vernooij)

* Properly clear BRZ_SSH in tests. (Jelmer Vernooij)
