The latest release of the Mercurial distributed SCM is available at: http://selenic.com/mercurial/ New features: - merge now follows renames and copies - new layout protects against case-insensitivity issues - new branch and branches commands for managing named branches - push command accepts -r for pushing specified heads or named branches - proper storage of changelog and other metadata in UTF-8 - log, annotate and grep '--follow' follow renames and copies - date parsing is improved and log, update, and revert accept --date ranges - additional command options for log, status, addremove - improved schema for hgweb URLs - bundle can now use '-r' and '--base' removing the need of an base repository - support for git-style extended patches with --git option - new debuginstall command to check for common installation issues New contributions and extensions: - mq - support for quilt-style guards - can import existing changesets into mq ('qimport -r') or commit mq patches as regular changesets ('qdel -f') - edit the log message with 'qrefresh -e' - rename patches with 'qrename' - qheader to display the patch header of particular patches, and '--summary' for qseries, qapplied, qunapplied and qtop - combine patches with 'qfold' - qrefresh supports pattern options to import only a subset of the changes into a patch, to help split changes into multiple patches - patch names for applied patches act like local tags, and can be used in the revision arguments of any hg command - hgk - browse a subset of the history with '--limit' and revision range arguments - shows revision numbers as well as node hashes - churn: graph lines of code changed per user over a range of history - patchbomb: generate inline attachments with '-a' Behavior changes: - hg cat defaults to the working directory revision rather than tip - hg manifest no longer shows internal file revision hashes by default - hg revert now requires the -a flag to revert all files Developer notes: - new high-level API functions in the 'hg' module - new context API simplifies many operations - The changelog can now include arbitrary metadata in key: value form -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. _______________________________________________ Mercurial mailing list [email protected] http://selenic.com/mailman/listinfo/mercurial
