relnotes: added description about statemod._statecheck
Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6557
== New Features ==
* New config `commands.commit.post-status` shows status after successful
commit.
* `hg root` now has templating support, including support for showing
where a repo share's source is. See `hg help -v root` for details.
== New Experimental Features ==
* New config `experimental.log.topo` makes `hg log -G` use
topological sorting. This is especially useful for aliases since it
lets the alias accept an `-r` option while still using topological
sorting with or without the `-r` (unlike if you use the `sort(...,
topo)` revset).
== Bug Fixes ==
* issue4292: "hg log and {files} {file_adds} {file_mods} {file_dels}
in template show wrong files on merged revision". See details in
"Backwards Compatibility Changes".
== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==
* Removed (experimental) support for log graph lines mixing
parent/grandparent styles. Setting
e.g. `experimental.graphstyle.parent = !` and
`experimental.graphstyle.grandparent = 3.` would use `!` for the
first three lines of the graph and then `.`. This is no longer
supported.
* If `ui.origbackuppath` had been (incorrectly) configured to point
to a file, we will now replace that file by a directory and put
backups in that directory. This is similar to how we would
previously replace files *in* the configured directory by
subdirectories.
* Template keyword `{file_mods}`, `{file_adds}`, and `{file_dels}`
have changed behavior on merge commits. They used to be relative to
the first parent, but they now consider both parents. `{file_adds}`
shows files that exists in the commit but did not exist in either
parent. `{file_dels}` shows files that do not exist in the commit
but existed in either parent. `{file_mods}` show the remaining
files from `{files}` that were not in the other two
sets.
== Internal API Changes ==
* Matchers are no longer iterable. Use `match.files()` instead.
* `match.visitdir()` and `match.visitchildrenset()` now expect the
empty string instead of '.' to indicate the root directory.
* `util.dirs()` and `util.finddirs()` now include an entry for the
root directory (empty string).
* New API to manage unfinished operations: Earlier there were distinct APIs
which dealt with unfinished states and separate lists maintaining them
that are `cmdutil.afterresolvestates`, `cmdutil.unfinishedstates` and
`cmdutil.STATES`. Now these have been unified to a single
API which handles the various states and their utilities. This API
has been added to `state.py`. Now instead of adding to these 3 lists
independently a state for a new operation can be registered using
`addunfinished()` in `state` module.
* `cmdutil.checkunfinished()` now includes detection for merge too.
