Mercurial 4.6 release
1. New Features
1.1. pullbundles
Pullbundles allow the server to answer client requests using pre-built bundles. This is different from the existing clonebundle feature:
- pullbundles can be used for both the initial clone and later pull operations
- pullbundles can be used incrementally, i.e. to cover the changes up to the start of the current month as one bundle and the remaining changes as second bundle
- the bundle is transferred inline as part of the existing connection without a secondary server
Pullbundles are only used for clients running Mercurial 4.6 as well.
1.2. push
If 'server.streamunbundle' option is enabled, the server will directly apply the changes send by the changes. This avoids potentially large temporary files on the server side. It can also prevent concurrent pushes.
1.3. notify extension
The 'maxdiffstat' option can be used to truncate long file lists similar to 'maxdiff' for the patch part of the email.
1.4. hgweb
hgweb now shows date and user for operations that resulted in obsolete commit(s). For unstable commits, it shows the exact reason why they are considered unstable.
Server: header is now configurable using web.server-header option.
1.5. templates
A new template keyword 'reporoot' which shows the root directory of the current repository. A new template function 'mailmap' which maps author fields based on values in a .mailmap file.
2. Backwards Compatibility Changes
- Support for connecting to Mercurial servers older than 0.9.1 has been removed.
- Working-directory commands now respect "-X PATTERN" no matter if PATTERN matches explicitly-specified FILEs. For example, "hg add foo -X foo" no longer add the file "foo".
- Support for the experimental manifestv2 format has been removed, as it was never completed and failed to meet expectations.
- '{' in output filename passed to archive/cat/export is taken as a start of a template expression.
- The HTTP wire protocol server no longer accepts the "cmd" argument to control which command to run via HTTP POST bodies. The "cmd" argument must be specified on the URL query string.
- Hgweb no longer reads form data in POST requests from multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests. Arguments should be specified as URL path components or in the query string in the URL instead.
- Query string shorts in hgweb like "?cs=@" have been removed. Use URLs of the form "/:cmd" instead.
- The HTTP client no longer accepts text/plain and application/hg-changegroup Content-Type values as a valid Mercurial command response. These should only be encountered on pre 1.0 Mercurial servers.
3. Performance Improvements
- 'hg manifest --all' is likely slower due to changing its implementation to respect storage interface boundaries. If you are impacted by this regression in a meaningful way, please make noise on the development mailing list and it can be dealt with.
- 'hg diff' is much faster for larger repositories. 40% improvements have been reported. Other operations using diffs like hgweb also benefit.

5. New experimental features
Each release there are lot of new features added which are hidden under the EXPERIMENTAL tag as the behavior may change in future or the feature is not complete yet. The experimental features added in this cycle are:
5.1. narrow extension
Allows to create clones which fetch history data for only a subset of files. This experimental extension is now distributed with Mercurial.
5.2. remotenames extension
Shows remotebookmarks and remotebranches in the UI. This experimental extension is now distributed with Mercurial.
5.3. infinitepush extension
Allows to store some pushes in a remote blob store on the server and to serve commits from remote blob store. The revisions are stored on disk or in everstore, the metadata are stored in sql or on disk. This experimental extension is now distributed with Mercurial.
5.4. fix extension
Allows to rewrite file content in changesets or working copy. For example, automatically applying formatting fixes to modified lines of code. This experimental extension is now distributed with Mercurial.
5.5. lfs extension
An alternative to the largefiles extension, which uses the git-lfs protocol. This experimental extension is now distributed with Mercurial.
6. Other notable features
- revset: parse error now shows a hint where the error occurred

7. API Changes
- Content from mercurial.hgweb.protocol has been moved to mercurial.wireprotoserver.
- Content from mercurial.sshserver has been moved into mercurial.wireprotoserver.
sshserver no longers looks for wire protocol command handlers in methods named do_<command>. Use @wireproto.wireprotocommand to declare wire protocol command handler functions.
- Log-related utility functions has been renamed as follows:
- cmdutil.loglimit -> logcmdutil.getlimit
- cmdutil.diffordiffstat -> logcmdutil.diffordiffstat
- cmdutil._changesetlabels -> logcmdutil.changesetlabels
- cmdutil.changeset_printer -> logcmdutil.changesetprinter - cmdutil.jsonchangeset = logcmdutil.jsonchangeset
- cmdutil.changeset_templater -> logcmdutil.changesettemplater
- cmdutil.logtemplatespec -> logcmdutil.templatespec
- cmdutil.makelogtemplater -> logcmdutil.maketemplater
- cmdutil.show_changeset -> logcmdutil.changesetdisplayer
- cmdutil.getlogrevs -> logcmdutil.getrevs
- cmdutil.getloglinerangerevs -> logcmdutil.getlinerangerevs
- cmdutil.displaygraph -> logcmdutil.displaygraph
- cmdutil.graphlog -> logcmdutil.graphlog
- cmdutil.checkunsupportedgraphflags -> logcmdutil.checkunsupportedgraphflags
- cmdutil.graphrevs -> logcmdutil.graphrevs
- cmdutil._makenofollowlogfilematcher -> logcmdutil._makenofollowfilematcher
- The following deprecated methods have been removed from context, with replacements:
- unstable() -> orphan()
- bumped() -> phasedivergent()
- divergent() -> contentdivergent()
- troubled() -> isunstable()
- troubles() -> instabilities()
- The following deprecated methods have been removed from obsolete, with replacements:
- _addprecursors() -> _addpredecessors()
- obsstore.precursors -> obsstore.predecessors
- allprecursors() -> obsutil.allprecursors()
- allsuccessors() -> obsutil.allsuccessors()
- marker() -> obsutil.marker
- getmarkers() -> obsutil.getmarkers()
- exclusivemarkers() -> obsutil.exclusivemarkers()
- foreground() -> obsutil.foreground()
- successorssets() -> obsutil.successorsset()
- unstable() -> orphan()
- bumped() -> phasedivergent()
- divergent() -> contentdivergent()
The following deprecated methods have been removed from obsutil: marker.precnode() and allprecursors(). Use marker.prednode() and allpredecessors() instead.
beginparentchange() and endparentchange() have been replaced by the parentchange context manager.
The deprecated localrepo.walk() has been removed, and replaced by repo[node].walk().
The following deprecated methods have been removed from bookmarks: __setitem__(), __delitem__(), update(), and recordchange(). Use bookmarks.applychanges() instead.
The cmdutil._revertprefetch() hook point for prefetching stored files has been replaced by the command agnostic cmdutil._prefetchfiles(). The new function takes a list of files, instead of a list of lists of files.
sshpeer.sshpeer.__init__ now receives arguments describing an existing connection instead of creating a connection itself.
sshpeer.sshpeer renamed to sshpeer.sshv1peer.
wireproto.pushres and wireproto.pusherr now explicitly track stdio output.
redirect() and restore() have been removed from the wire protocol handler interface. Use mayberedirectstdio() instead.
The _client() method of the wire protocol handler interface has been renamed to client().
Wire protocol command handlers now return a wireprototypes.bytesresponse instead of a raw bytes instance. Protocol handlers will continue handling bytes instances. However, any extensions wrapping wire protocol commands will need to handle the new type.
- SSH protocol handler now advertises its name internally as "ssh-v1" instead of "ssh."
File prefetching is now handled by registering a callback with scmutil.fileprefetchhooks.
- HTTP protocol handlers now advertises its internal name as "http-v1" instead of "http".
context.basectx no longer implements __int__. Context instances will no longer cast to ints. Consumers should call ctx.rev() instead.
templatekw.showdict() and showlist() are deprecated in favor of new (context, mapping) API. Switch the keyword function to new API and use templatekw.compatdict() and compatlist() instead.
hgweb_mod.perms and wireproto.permissions have been removed. Wire protocol commands should declare their required permissions in the @wireprotocommand decorator.
The WSGI request object no longer exposes a form attribute containing parsed query string data. Use the qsparams attribute instead.
hgweb.hgweb_mod.permhooks no longer take a wsgirequest instance as an argument.
hgweb @webcommand functions must use the new response object passed in via "web.res" to initiate sending of a response. The hgweb WSGI application will no longer start sending the response automatically.
- Various helper functions in hgweb.webutil no longer accept a templater instance. Access the templater through the "web" argument instead.
- Various functions in hgweb.webutil now take a modern request object instead of "wsgirequest".
@webcommand functions now only receive a single argument. The request and templater instances can be accessed via the "req" and "templater" attributes of the first argument. Note that the request object is different from previous Mercurial releases and consumers of the previous "req" 2nd argument will need updating to use the new API.
- The old "wsgirequest" class for handling everything WSGI in hgweb has been replaced by separate request and response types. Various high-level functions in the hgweb WSGI applications now receive these new types as arguments instead of the old "wsgirequest" type.
The render(mapping) method of the templater has been renamed to renderdefault(mapping).
httppeer.httppeer.__init__ now takes additional arguments. Instances should be obtained by calling httppeer.instance() or httppeer.makepeer() instead.
The templater is no longer callable. Use templater.generate(t, mapping) instead of templater(t, **pycompat.strkwargs(mapping)).
templatekw._showlist() is deprecated in favor of templateutil._showcompatlist(), which takes context in place of templ.
- Several generic string helper functions have been moved to utils.stringutil module.
The util.Abort alias has been removed. Use error.Abort.
merge.update() and merge.applyupdates() now return a class with named attributes instead of a tuple. Switch consumers to access elements by name instead of by offset.
- Utility functions related to process/executable management have been moved to utils.procutil module.
- localrepo.localrepository.featuresetupfuncs has been renamed to localrepo.featuresetupfuncs.
- localrepo.localrepository.filterpats was renamed to localrepo.localrepository._filterpats.
Template filters should declare input data type and/or catch AttributeError, ValueError, TypeError, etc. as needed. See the doc of "registrar.templatefilters" for details.
- "wireproto" module no longer re-exports various types used to define responses to wire protocol commands. Access these types from the "wireprototypes" module.
filelog.parsemeta() and filelog.packmeta() have been moved to the revlog module.
procutil.popen() no longer supports text mode I/O.
hook.hook() and hook.runhooks() may return a negative integer to denote that the process was killed by signal.
filelog.filelog is now a standalone class and doesn't inherit from revlog. Instead, it wraps a revlog instance at self._revlog. This change was made in an attempt to formalize storage APIs and prevent revlog implementation details leaking through to callers.
The fp argument is removed from cmdutil.export(). Use cmdutil.exportfile() instead.
cmdutil.export() takes a formatter as an argument.
patch.extract() is now a context manager. Callers no longer have to worry about deleting the temporary file it creates, as the file is tied to the lifetime of the context manager.
The wire protocol peer's iterbatch() for bulk executing commands has been removed. Use peer.commandexecutor() instead.
