API freeze for 2.4 and trunk open for 2.5

[vila]

Hi,

2.4.0 will be released soon (source freeze planned for 2011-08-04,
formal announcement 2011-08-08) and got a dedicated branch: lp:bzr/2.4

To leave plugin authors the opportunity to release official versions
targeted at 2.4, the API is now frozen for lp:bzr/2.4.

To allow such API breaks (if required) the trunk (lp:bzr) is now the
development focus for 2.5.

There are ongoing discussions about getting rid of
bzrlib.api_minimum_version in favor of letting people just check
bzrlib.version_info.

Reply to this thread with your thoughts on this decision and its
fallouts.

Happy hacking !

P.S.: I've landed a patch to fix news entries from 2.4 to 2.5 for
patches landed after 2.4 fork. Feel free to backport the changes that
were landed after the fork if you prefer them to be part of 2.4.0.
