bzr 1.17 released!

Written for Bazaar by Jonathan Lange on 2009-07-20

Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and stable".

Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
annoying progress bar artifacts.

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.
