12 Major changes between Mercurial 0.9 and 0.9.1:
13
14 New features:
15 - You can now configure your 'hgweb' server to let remote users
16 'push' changes over http.
17 - You can now 'import' a patch in a mail message by saving the mail
18 message, and importing it. This works for patches sent either
19 inline or as attachments.
20 - The 'diff' command now accepts '-rA:B' syntax as a synonym for
21 '-r A -r B', and adds '-b' and '-B' options.
22
23 New contributions and extensions:
24 - The 'acl' extension lets you lock down parts of a repository
25 against incoming changes
26 - The 'extdiff' extension lets you run your favourite graphical
27 change viewer
28 - Comprehensive integration with the 'vim' editor
29 - A restricted shell for 'ssh'-hosted repositories
30 - An importer for 'darcs' repositories
31
32 New hooks added:
33 - 'preupdate' is run before an update or merge in the working
34 directory.
35 - 'update' is run after an update or merge in the working
36 directory.
37
38 Behaviour changes:
39 - NOTE: Mercurial as installed by the Windows binary
40 installer no longer performs automatic line-ending conversion for
41 Unix/Linux compatibility. To re-enable this feature, edit your
42 'mercurial.ini' file after you upgrade.
43 - The Windows binary installer now automatically adds 'hg' to your
44 '%PATH%'.
45 - The 'backout' command now runs an editor by default, to let you
46 modify the commit message for a backed-out changeset.
47 - An earlier problem with parsing of tags has been fixed.
48 This makes tag parsing slower but more reliable.
49
50 Memory usage and performance improvements:
51 - The 'remove' command has been rewritten to be hundreds of times
52 faster in large repositories.
53 - It is now possible to 'clone' a repository very quickly over a
54 LAN, if the server is configured to allow it. See the new 'server'
55 section in the 'hgrc' documentation.
56
57 Other changes of note:
58 - Mercurial will now print help for an extension if you type 'hg
59 help EXT_NAME'.
60 - The usual array of bug fixes and documentation improvements.
61 - The integrated web server is now more WSGI-compliant.
62 - Work has begun to solidify Mercurial's API for use by third-party
63 packages.
