2006
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 (0.9-2) 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.

these are submitted upstream

as suggested by the python policy

in /usr/lib/python2.4)
