Like "before I/we forget," "by the bye" means the speaker (or writer) is going to change the subject. It comes from "by" (meaning "near") "the bye" (the closing, where we say "goodbye.") So it means, "before we say bye, let me also tell you...."
"... and that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie. By the bye, have you heard from Brenda's friend Billy?"

This is a play on the phrase by-and-by which means: some future time or occasion.
By changing the spelling it implies that we are saying goodbye until some future time or occasion; til later on.
This is an especially useful phrase when you want to say goodbye to someone that has passed away.
