     1 == New Features ==
       
     2 
       
     3  * There is a new config section for templates used by hg commands. It
       
     4    is called `[command-templates]`. Some existing config options have
       
     5    been deprecated in favor of config options in the new
       
     6    section. These are: `ui.logtemplate` to `command-templates.log`,
       
     7    `ui.graphnodetemplate` to `command-templates.graphnode`,
       
     8    `ui.mergemarkertemplate` to `command-templates.mergemarker`,
       
     9    `ui.pre-merge-tool-output-template` to
       
    10    `command-templates.pre-merge-tool-output`.
       
    11 
       
    12  * There is a new set of config options for the template used for the
       
    13    one-line commit summary displayed by various commands, such as `hg
       
    14    rebase`. The main one is `command-templates.oneline-summary`. That
       
    15    can be overridden per command with
       
    16    `command-templates.oneline-summary.<command>`, where `<command>`
       
    17    can be e.g. `rebase`. As part of this effort, the default format
       
    18    from `hg rebase` was reorganized a bit.
       
    19 
       
    20  * `hg strip`, from the strip extension, is now a core command, `hg
       
    21    debugstrip`. The extension remains for compatibility.
       
    22 
       
    23  * `hg diff` and `hg extdiff` now support `--from <rev>` and `--to <rev>`
       
    24    arguments as clearer alternatives to `-r <revs>`. `-r <revs>` has been
       
    25    deprecated.
       
    26 
       
    27  * The memory footprint per changeset during pull/unbundle
       
    28    operations has been further reduced.
       
    29 
       
    30  * There is a new internal merge tool called `internal:mergediff` (can
       
    31    be set as the value for the `merge` config in the `[ui]`
       
    32    section). It resolves merges the same was as `internal:merge` and
       
    33    `internal:merge3`, but it shows conflicts differently. Instead of
       
    34    showing 2 or 3 snapshots of the conflicting pieces of code, it
       
    35    shows one snapshot and a diff. This may be useful when at least one
       
    36    side of the conflict is similar to the base. The new marker style
       
    37    is also supported by "premerge" as
       
    38    `merge-tools.<tool>.premerge=keep-mergediff`.
       
    39 
       
    40  * External hooks are now called with `HGPLAIN=1` preset.  This has the side
       
    41    effect of ignoring aliases, templates, revsetaliases, and a few other config
       
    42    options in any `hg` command spawned by the hook.  The previous behavior
       
    43    can be restored by setting HGPLAINEXCEPT appropriately in the parent process.
       
    44    See `hg help environment` for the list of items, and how to set it.
       
    45 
       
    46  * The `branchmap` cache is updated more intelligently and can be
       
    47    significantly faster for repositories with many branches and changesets.

    50 == New Experimental Features ==
       
    51 
       
    52 * `experimental.single-head-per-branch:public-changes-only` can be used
       
    53   restrict the single head check to public revision. This is useful for
       
    54   overlay repository that have both a publishing and non-publishing view
       
    55   of the same storage.

    62 == Backwards Compatibility Changes ==
       
    63 
       
    64  * `--force-lock` and `--force-wlock` options on `hg debuglock` command are
       
    65    renamed to `--force-free-lock` and `--force-free-wlock` respectively.
