=== What happened at the sprint? ===

Here's a mostly complete overview of features, discussions, bugs, patches, etc. that
came up (from a [[http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2010-October/025192.html|posting]] to
mercurial-devel by Brodie):

==== Big new features ====

  * Online help in hg serve/hgweb (durin42)
  * [[ParentDeltaPlan|Parentdelta]] support (reduces repo size) (not yet enabled by default) (tonfa)

==== Unfinished business ====

  * Greatly improved changeset discovery (speeds up push/pull) (tonfa)
  * "Liquid HG" - a system for safely allowing mutable history (mpm)
  * "Dead heads" support for marking changesets as abandoned (via pushkey) (mg, [[http://markmail.org/message/vyyjfyshhnb5acpc|original email]], [[https://bitbucket.org/mg/dead-branches|patch queue]])
  * Better templater/templating language
  * Revset support everywhere -r/--rev is used (mpm)
  * "Black box" extension that records warnings, errors, etc. (nicdumz)
  * Improved extension error messages (nicdumz)
  * Test potential migration from [[http://roundup.sourceforge.net/|Roundup]] to [[Trac|http://trac.edgewall.org/]] for bug tracking (bmp, brodie)
  * No prompts from "hg merge" (use hg resolve to handle merges at your own pace instead) (muggs)
  * Automated [[http://pypi.python.org/pypi|PyPI]] upload through setup.py (tonfa, brodie)
  * hg config --edit (brodie, kiilerix, mg)
  * More consistent/reliable internal URL parsing (brodie, kiilerix)
  * Fine-grained `HGPLAIN` (e.g., make stuff plain except i18n) (brodie)

==== Discussions ====

  * Cleaning up and reorganizing the wiki
  * Scaling hgweb (smarter etags, better caching)
  * Improving [[SummerOfCode|Google Summer of Code]] (mpm, brodie, durin42, tonfa, nicdumz, mg)
  * Improving [[UsingExtensions|extension]] debugging (extensions could provide homepage URLs, their own version numbers, and specify what versions of Mercurial they support)
  * Better changeset signing support (support for more tools, [[CommitsigsExtension|commitsigs]] integration, pushkey-based changeset signing)
  * Moving [[ExtdiffExtension|extdiff]] into core and making it use [[MergeToolConfiguration|merge-tools settings]]
  * Moving other extensions into core ([[ProgressExtension|progress]], [[RecordExtension|record]], [[TransplantExtension|transplant]], [[GraphlogExtension|graphlog]])
  * Better auto-generated documentation (via [[http://sphinx.pocoo.org/|Sphinx]], [[http://danchr.bitbucket.org/mercurial-api/|epydoc]], etc.)
  * Adding more command examples in help
  * Better documenting how `--verbose`/`--quiet` affects different commands
  * Better documenting [[MergeProgram|internal:* merge settings]]
  * Specifying [[MergeToolConfiguration|merge tools]] on the command line
  * Improving the [[TimeBasedReleasePlan|release process]]
  * Improving [[Subrepositories|subrepo]] support (should we use it ourselves? [[http://bitbucket.org/izi/polib|polib]] is a candidate)

==== Patches for bugs ====

  * Bts:issue2364 - merge: handle no file parent in backwards merge (mpm)
  * Bts:issue2373 - ui.paths: expand paths directly in fixconfig (tonfa)
  * Bts:issue2427 - mq: handle deleting the same patch twice in one command (danchr)
  * Bts:issue2191 - progress: make sure stderr has isatty before calling (durin42)
  * Bts:issue2074 - windows: handle spaces in path to Python (bmp)
  * Bts:issue2417 - import: don't strip '#' lines from patch descriptions (kiilerix)
  * Bts:issue2376 - dispatch: properly handle relative path aliases used with -R (brodie)
  * Bts:issue2361 - revset: lower precedence of minus infix (mpm)
  * Bts:issue1564 - strip: add --keep flag to avoid modifying wc during strip (durin42)

==== Other interesting patches that made it in ====

  * setup/hg: always load Mercurial from where it was installed. (10da5a1f25dd) (danchr)
  * setup: user-friendly error message if Python headers are missing (6c0e1aee1b19) (nicdumz)
  * [[PagerExtension|pager]]: don't run pager if nothing is written to stdout/stderr (05077896ffe2) (brodie)
  * [[PagerExtension|pager]]: add global --pager=<auto/boolean> option (04f6de46bf3a) (brodie)
  * copies: don't detect copies as "divergent renames" (ada47c38f4e5) (danchr)

==== Miscellaneous ====

  * Made mercurial-consulting mailing list (mpm)
