Welcome to Mercurial for Windows! --------------------------------- For configuration and usage directions, please read the ReadMe.html file that comes with this package. Release Notes ------------- 2006-04-07 v0.8.1 * Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1: - new extensions: mq (manage a queue of patches, like quilt only better) email (send changes as series of email patches) - new command: merge (replaces "update -m") - improved commands: log (--limit option added), pull/push ("-r" works on specific revisions), revert (rewritten, much better) - comprehensive hook support - output templating added, supporting e.g. GNU changelog style - Windows, Mac OS X: prebuilt binary packages, better support - many reliability, performance, and memory usage improvements 2006-01-29 v0.8 * Upgrade notes: - diff and status command are now repo-wide by default (use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior) - GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension - the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed - the copy/rename --parents option has been removed * Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8: - faster status, diff, and commit - reduced memory usage for push and pull - improved extension API - new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions - short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb - numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev - improved hooks and file filtering 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications * New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour: System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be honoured if you create one. * Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to customise this behaviour. * NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command, for example, will appear huge until I fix this. * Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings. 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications * This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows. * I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
