dvcs - What is the state of Bazaar version control? -

i looking start project distributed source command , evaluating different options. looking @ bazaar, stumbled on several articles (e.g. this) development has slowed downwards significantly.

what status of project bazaar? bugs getting fixed?

i seek reply first facts.

1/ according active (published) bazaar branches of bazaar, can see there 8 active development branches (changed since origin of 2013)

2/ according bazaar 2.6b3 milestone, 3 bugs out of 12 fixed next 2.6b3 release. version started 6 month ago (august 2012).

3/ according bazaar v2.5 series, v2.5 series had beta/minor release every month.

4/ according bazaar v2.6 series, v2.6 series has beta/minor release every 4 months (well, there not many releases give trends here).

5/ bazaar still used on prestigious/ambitious/large projects : ubuntu, debian,  mysql , launchpad ... projects active in bazaar community.

so first observation releases less frequent, clearly. 1 may think it's bad trends, 1 can consider application mature plenty , new road map (with new features) needs forecast.

to finish, here extract of irc chat had bzr team. may point out issue intermediate release.

trident_job: hi there. i've seen latest bzr version v2.6.2 , 1 year ago (nearly). trident_job: next version v2.6.3 still have 3 bugs prepare ... think project stall ?
