Hi,

You can just upgrade your version of bzr, and it will still work
fine with any existing branches that you have.

Depending on the format of the branches/repositories that you are
using you may also be able to upgrade them (using the "upgrade" 
command).

I would recommend that you use packs if you are not already
(bzr upgrade --pack-0.92) unless you need to access the branch
using a client older than 0.92.

The documentation is in the source (README.txt), and in the online
help (for instance bzr help fast-import) after installing it.

Thanks,
