2 day ago was released the last version of Mercurial (HG). The changes look great 🙂
Some changes:
General:
- Added ‘resolve’ command for better tracking of in-progress merges
- Several speedups for status and diff commands (especially on Windows)
- Some modules have been rewritten in C for greater speed
- Compatibility with Python 2.6 2
- Add some buffering to the templater
- Better documentation on git diffs
Web interface:
- Add a canvas-based repository graph
- New and improved hgweb themes: paper, coal and monoblue
- paper is now the new default style; the old default is now called ‘spartan’
- Better WSGI compliance
- Collections now show nested repos (best used without a checkout)
- diffs are more sensible, follow diff.git settings
- Better alternative for repository collections
Commands:
- resolve: new command to help keep track of merges
- merge: only implicitly select same-branch heads
- export: append instead of overwrite when exporting multiple changesets
- bundle: added support for different compression types
- rollback: clean up empty files
- tag: without a checkout, use tip as the tagging revision’s parent
- log: allow searching by user (with -u)
Extensions:
- rebase: new extension to support rebasing changesets
- bookmarks: new extension to provide (local-only) git-like branches
- zeroconf: new extension to support publishing repositories through Zeroconf/Bonjour
- convert: added support for conversion from bzr repositories
- color:
- add colorization of diffs
- add –color options to many commands
- bugzilla: added support for Bugzilla 3.0
See the full Release Notes for more info.
BTW, we’ve just created a public personal (and for groups and free software projects) mercurial repositories at Emergya (at last!) 🙂
Here mine with some silly repos:
