New Experimental Features
Bug Fixes
- shelve: demonstrate that the state is different across platforms (issue6735)
- shelve: in test for trailing whitespace, strip commit (issue6735)
- shelve: remove strip and rely on prior state (issue6735)
- tests: fix http-bad-server expected errors for python 3.10 (issue6643)
status: let --no-copies override ui.statuscopies
- releasenotes: use re.MULTILINE mode when checking admonitions
Backwards Compatibility Changes
- chg worker processes will now correctly load per-repository configuration
when given a both a relative --repository path and an alternate working directory via --cwd. A side-effect of this change is that these workers will now return an error if hg cannot find the current working directory, even when a different directory is specified via --cwd.
phase: rename the requirement for internal-phase from internal-phase to use-internal-phase (see 74fb1842f8b962cf03d7cd5b841dbcf2ae065587)
