Adapted behaviour of ui.username() to documentation and mention it explicitly:
Searched in this order: $HGUSER, [ui] section of hgrcs, $EMAIL
and stop searching if one of these is set.
Abort if found username is an empty string to force specifying
the commit user elsewhere, e.g. with line option or repo hgrc.
If not found, use $LOGNAME or $USERNAME +"@full.hostname".

Release Notes
-------------
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.
