'by the bye' is an obsolete English expression. It was replaced with 'by the way', or 'oh, by the way', which is only occasionally used, and only in an interrogatory as: 'Oh, by the way, did you turn in your homework?'

It means 'by the way', and is, in my view, rather old-fashioned, not to say quaint.
