Changelog
mercurial (0.9.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
Major changes between Mercurial 0.9 and 0.9.1:
New features:
- You can now configure your 'hgweb' server to let remote users
'push' changes over http.
- You can now 'import' a patch in a mail message by saving the mail
message, and importing it. This works for patches sent either
inline or as attachments.
- The 'diff' command now accepts '-rA:B' syntax as a synonym for
'-r A -r B', and adds '-b' and '-B' options.
New contributions and extensions:
- The 'acl' extension lets you lock down parts of a repository
against incoming changes
- The 'extdiff' extension lets you run your favourite graphical
change viewer
- Comprehensive integration with the 'vim' editor
- A restricted shell for 'ssh'-hosted repositories
- An importer for 'darcs' repositories
New hooks added:
- 'preupdate' is run before an update or merge in the working
directory.
- 'update' is run after an update or merge in the working
directory.
Behaviour changes:
- NOTE: Mercurial as installed by the Windows binary
installer no longer performs automatic line-ending conversion for
Unix/Linux compatibility. To re-enable this feature, edit your
'mercurial.ini' file after you upgrade.
- The Windows binary installer now automatically adds 'hg' to your
'%PATH%'.
- The 'backout' command now runs an editor by default, to let you
modify the commit message for a backed-out changeset.
- An earlier problem with parsing of tags has been fixed.
This makes tag parsing slower but more reliable.
Memory usage and performance improvements:
- The 'remove' command has been rewritten to be hundreds of times
faster in large repositories.
- It is now possible to 'clone' a repository very quickly over a
LAN, if the server is configured to allow it. See the new 'server'
section in the 'hgrc' documentation.
Other changes of note:
- Mercurial will now print help for an extension if you type 'hg
help EXT_NAME'.
- The usual array of bug fixes and documentation improvements.
- The integrated web server is now more WSGI-compliant.
- Work has begun to solidify Mercurial's API for use by third-party
packages.
mercurial (0.9-9) unstable; urgency=low
* Force the use of python2.4 with a sed command. A race condition on some
autobuilders makes that workaround needed. (Really closes: #378835)
mercurial (0.9-8) unstable; urgency=low
* do not use default python but python2.4 instead for hg :
most code is python2.3 compatible (so we still compile .py files for
pyhton2.3) but "hg help" need features for python2.4
Closes: #378835
Thanks David Douard for reporting this.
* adding missing manpage hgignore (Closes: #378502)
Thanks Baruch Even for reporting this.
* remove hack in postinst (dpkg not replacing directory by symlink) as it is
no more usefull (directory was in /usr/lib/python2.3, symlink in now in
/usr/lib/python2.4)
* Create symlinks for the templates directory within the mercurial directory
(and not in another python serch path) (Closes: #378538)
