For configuration and usage directions, please read the ReadMe.html file that comes with this package. - Release Notes ------------- +2006-05-10 v0.9 + +* Major changes between Mercurial 0.8.1 and 0.9: + + - The repository file format has been improved. + - This has resulted in an average 40% reduction in disk space usage. + - The new format (called RevlogNG) is now the default. + - Mercurial works perfectly with both the old and new repository + file formats. It can transfer changes transparently between + repositories of either format. + - To use the new repository format, simply use `hg clone --pull` to + clone an existing repository. + - Note: Versions 0.8.1 and earlier of Mercurial cannot read + RevlogNG repositories directly, but they can `clone`, `pull` + from, and `push` to servers that are serving RevlogNG + repositories. + - Memory usage has been improved by over 50% for many common operations. + - Substantial performance improvements on large repositories. + - New commands: + - 'archive' - generate a directory tree snapshot, tarball, or zip + file of a revision + - Deprecated commands: + - 'addremove' - replaced by 'add' and 'remove --after' + - 'forget' - replaced by 'revert' + - 'undo' - replaced by 'rollback' + - New extensions: + - Bugzilla integration hook + - Email notification hook + - Nested repositories are now supported. Mercurial will not recurse + into a subdirectory that contains a '.hg' directory. It is treated + as a separate repository. + - The standalone web server, 'hg serve', is now threaded, so it can + talk to multiple clients at a time. + - The web server can now display a "message of the day". + - Support added for hooks written in Python. + - Many improvements and clarifications to built-in help. + + 2006-04-07 v0.8.1 * Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1:
