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)

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Thu, 20 Jul 2006 17:59:35 +0200

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)

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Wed, 19 Jul 2006 12:25:30 +0200

mercurial (0.9-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * mercurial will use the default python interpreter

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Tue, 11 Jul 2006 23:12:14 +0200

mercurial (0.9-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * update to the new python policy
   * reenable the fix for #362487 as python2.3 is useable again

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Tue, 4 Jul 2006 00:19:50 +0200

mercurial (0.9-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * call dh_python with -V 2.4 argument

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Mon, 29 May 2006 09:18:53 +0200

mercurial (0.9-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * [debian/copyright] add copyright for Debian packaging
   * [debian/NEWS] talk about python2.3->python2.4 transition

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Sun, 14 May 2006 21:27:43 +0200

mercurial (0.9-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * fix a bug in update/revert (patch from Vadim Gelfer already applied
     upstream)
   * [debian/control] build-depend on python as dh_python require it
     (package did not fail to build due to an indirect build-dependency
     but it is safer like that)

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Fri, 12 May 2006 19:30:44 +0200

mercurial (0.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release
     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.
   * [debian/control] set Standard-Version to 3.7.2 (no changes required)

mercurial (0.8.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * use python2.4 instead of standard python (2.3 for now):
     this allows to use hglib backend with tailor
   * several minor fixes so that tailor works with the 'hglib' backend
     these are submitted upstream
   * hardcode python interpreter in script instead of using /usr/bin/env
     as suggested by the python policy
   * remove previous hack (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)

 -- Vincent Danjean <Vincent.Danjean@ens-lyon.org>  Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:21:24 +0200

mercurial (0.8.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * directory doesn't get replaced by symlink (Closes: #362487)
