histedit: remove superfluous echo() and endwin() calls (issue6859) ncurses patchlevel 20231111 started returning an error from endwin() if called twice without a intervening screen update. Per Sven Joachim in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058041#17: "AFAICS, invoking curses.echo() and curses.endwin() is superfluous because curses.wrapper already does that for you, and calling curses.endwin() twice throws an error with the newer ncurses. Removing those two lines should fix the problem."

= Mercurial 6.6.1 =

The first two patches fix aborted transactions that could happen since 6.6.

 * revlog: avoid exposing delayed index entry too widely in non-inline revlog
 * revlog: avoid wrongly updating the data file location on "divert"
 * tests: do not fail tests in a state with uncommitted .py file removal
 * perf-tags: fix the --clear-fnode-cache-rev code
 * perf-tags: fix clear_cache_fnodes to actually clear that cache
 * censor: fix things around inlining
 * Various Python 3 cleanups
 * Various Windows test suite fixes

As usual, a *lot* of patches don't make it to this list.

== New Features ==
 * rust-config: add support for default config items
 * rhg: add config defaults to configitems.toml
 * rhg: support "status FILE"
 * rhg: support rhg files [FILE]
 * commands: add admin namespace
 * admin-command: add verify command
 * debug-delta-chain: add options to control what we compute
 * Added some caching for uncompressed revlog chunks that speed up some operations

== New Experimental Features ==

== Bug Fixes ==
 * Improve OpenVMS support
 * byteify-strings: passe sysstr to attr function and wrapper
 * journal: track bookmark deletion
 * transaction: actually delete file created during the transaction on rollback
 * pull: avoid referencing a variable before it is initialized
 * rust-filepatterns: also normalize RelPath
 * narrow: hoist a variable to a higher level to avoid use-before-init warning
 * convert: stabilize subversion date sorter
 * run-tests: detect HGWITHRUSTEXT value
 * censor: accept censored revision during upgrade
 * rust-matchers: fix quadratic complexity in `FileMatcher`
 * unstable: do not consider internal phases when computing unstable

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==
 * perf: display all timing by default
 * infinitepush: drop the extension
 * debug-delta-chain: print less data by default

== Internal API Changes ==

 * The revlog interface has been significantly cleaned up.

 * configitems: move blackbox's config items to the new configitems.toml
 * path-suboption: deprecated specifying the attributes as bytes
 * pycompat: deprecate using bytes
 * check-code: drop the `safehasattr` rule
 * safehasattr: drop usage in favor of hasattr
 * rust: add `UncheckedRevision` type
 * rust: implement the `Graph` trait for all revlogs
 * rust: make `Revision` a newtype
 * perf: change the way we approach revlog reading
 * perf: ensure all readlog's reading is done within a `reading` context
 * delta-chain: move the debugdeltachain command in revlogutils
