== Mercurial 4.4-rc (2017-10-20) ==

=== Notable changes ===

==== Control whitespace settings for annotation on hgweb ====

/annotate URLs on hgweb now accept query string arguments to influence how
whitespace changes impact results.

The arguments "ignorews," "ignorewsamount," "ignorewseol," and
"ignoreblanklines" now have the same meaning as their [annotate] config
section counterparts. Any provided setting overrides the server default.

HTML checkboxes have been added to the paper and gitweb themes to expose
current whitespace settings and to easily modify the current view.

==== Fast, heuristic copy-tracing ====

A new fast heuristic algorithm for copytracing which assumes that the files
moves are either:

1. Renames in the same directory
2. Moves in other directories with same names

You can use this algorithm by setting 'experimental.copytrace=heuristics'. This
setting performs full copytracing if both source and destination branches
contains non-public changsets only.

==== Other changes ====

 * Estimated time is more accurate with non-linear progress

 * "hg status -v" can now show unfinished state. For example, when in an
 unfinished rebase state, "hg status -v" might show:

 {{{
 # The repository is in an unfinished *rebase* state.
 # No unresolved merge conflicts.
 # To continue: hg rebase --continue
 # To abort: hg rebase --abort
 }}}

 * Added '--ignore-space-at-eol' diff option to ignore whitespace differences
 at line endings.

 * show: use consistent node length in views

 * show: decrease minimum displayed hash length from 5 to 4

 * A new uncommit extension which provides 'hg uncommit' using which one can
 uncommit part or all of the changeset. This command undoes the effect of a
 local commit, returning the affected files to their uncommitted state.

 * 'hg clone --uncompressed' uses clone bundles when possible

 * 'hg annotate --skip' now prints a '*' on lines with skipped revisions

 * New 'commands.update.check' feature to adjust constraints on when 'hg
 update' will allow updates with a dirty working copy.

 * Add an experimental -L/--line-range FILE,FROMLINE-TOLINE option to 'hg log'
 command to follow the history of files by line range. In combination with
 -p/--patch option, only diff hunks within specified line range will be
 displayed. Feedback, especially on UX aspects, is welcome.

 * Print warning when fsmonitor isn't being used on a large repository		 == Mercurial 6.6 (2023-11-21) to 6.6.2 (2024-01-11) ==

Line 83: Line 175:
 * The config option for copytrace 'experimental.disablecopytrace' is now
 replaced with 'experimental.copytrace' which defaults to 'on'. If you need
 to turn off copytracing, add '[experimental] copytrace = off' to your
 config.

 * 'hg clone --stream' should now be used instead of --uncompressed.

 --uncompressed is marked as deprecated and is an alias for --stream. There
 is no schedule for elimination of --uncompressed.

 * The 'experimental.updatecheck' name for the new 'commands.update.check'
 feature is now deprecated, and will be removed after this release.

 * Mercurial subrepositories are now shared instead of cloned when the parent
 repository is shared. This prevents dangling subrepository references in
 the share source. Previously shared repositories with cloned
 subrepositories will continue to function unchanged.

 * Push no longer triggers a pushkey hook when updating phases. Use the new
 'txnclose-phase' and 'txnclose-phase' hooks instead. (Applies when both
 server and client use version 4.4 or above).

=== Bug Fixes ===

==== Issue 5578, Issue 5630 ====

Core rebase algorithm has been rewritten to be more robust.

==== Issue 5675 ====

Creating a share of a repository with a Mercurial subrepository will now share
the subrepository.

=== Performance Improvements ===

* improved performance when many aliases are defined
 * The infinitepush extension is believed to be unused, and will be deleted at
  the end of 2020 unless users contact mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org.

* 'hg grep' now searches working copy file contents by default. We recognize
  this is a significant change from past behavior, but surveys of large bodies
  of users indicated nobody used (and almost nobody understood) the previous
  no-flags behavior of 'hg grep'. The new behavior aligns with the behavior
  most users expected (including hg's maintainers), which also happens to be
  the behavior of 'git grep'. Given that the old behavior was confusing to the
  point of being unusable, we were comfortable changing this behavior.
Line 123: Line 188:
==== remove peer.batch() ====

Replace with peer.iterbatch().

==== Other Changes ====

* @peer.batchable can no longer emit local values

* @peer.batchable functions must now yield exactly 2 values

* Rename attributes on sshpeer to reflect peer API

* peer.peerrepository has been removed. Use repository.peer abstract base
  class to represent a peer repository.

* revset.stringset() now takes 'order' as the last argument.


== Mercurial 4.3.3 (2017-10-01) ==
 * Prevent crashes when clearing progress bar. (Bts:issue5684)
 * rebase: move bookmarks with --keep (Bts:issue5682)

== Mercurial 4.3.2 (2017-09-18) ==

 * restore compatibility with older versions of Python 2.7 by not using a bytearray with struct.unpack_from()
 * restore mingw compatibility for setup.py
 * hgwebdir: read 'web.template' untrusted (plugs potential security issue)
 * repair: preserve phase when not using generaldelta (Bts:issue5678)
 * ssh: fix flakey ssh errors on BSD systems
 * restore error handling behavior around certain I/O errors; the regressed behavior could result in transactions not being properly rolled back if stdio handles encountered errors (Bts:issue5658)
 * templatekw: choose {latesttag} by len(changes), not date (Bts:issue5659)
 * record: fix revert -i for lines without newline (Bts:issue5651)
 * mq: create non-lossy patches, also with custom global diff configuration

== Mercurial 4.3 / 4.3.1 (2017-08-10) ==

(4.3.1 was released immediately after 4.3 to fix a release oversight.)

An [[Release4.3|overview of new features]] available. This is a regularly-scheduled quarterly feature release.

=== Notable changes ===

 * experimental amend extension providing the amend command
 * experimental sparse extension
 * Support for Python 2.6 has been dropped.
 * Bundles created by the strip extension now store phase information. It will be restored when unbundling.
 * The strip extension now removes relevant obsmarkers. If a backup requested (the default), the obsmarkers are stored in the backup bundle and will be restored when unbundling.
 * `hg show work` (from the experimental `show` extension) now displays more info
 * `hg show stack` is a new view for the current, in-progress changeset and others around it
 * Mitigation for two security vulnerabilities

=== CVE-2017-1000115 ===

Mercurial's symlink auditing was incomplete prior to 4.3, and could be abused to write to files outside the repository.

=== CVE-2017-1000116 ===

Mercurial was not sanitizing hostnames passed to ssh, allowing shell injection attacks on clients by specifying a hostname starting with -oProxyCommand. This is also present in Git (CVE-2017-1000117) and Subversion (CVE-2017-9800), so please patch those tools as well if you have them installed.


== Mercurial 4.2.3 (2017-08-10) ==
This was an out-of-cycle backport of security fixes from 4.3 for users stuck on Python 2.6.

== Mercurial 4.2.2 (2017-07-05) ==
This is a regularly-scheduled bugfix release.

 * largefiles: avoid a crash when archiving a subrepo with largefiles disabled
 * rebase: also test abort from pretxnclose error
 * rebase: backed out changes 2519994d25ca and cf8ad0e6c0e4 (Bts:issue5610)
 * rebase: reinforce testing around precommit hook interrupting a rebase

== Mercurial 4.2.1 (2017-6-4) ==
This is a regularly-scheduled bugfix release.

 * `hg graft` now works when grafting across merges that were problematic before ([[https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg-stable/rev/b4e1e30528c7|b4e1e30528c7]]).
 * A race condition in `hg status` was partially fixed (Bts:issue5584).
 * The message about deprecated SHA-1 hashes in the [hostfingerprints] config section now references the correct syntax for replacing them with SHA-256 hashes (Bts:issue5559).

== Mercurial 4.2 (2017-5-2) ==

An [[Release4.2|overview of new features]] available. This is a regularly-scheduled quarterly feature release.

=== Notable changes ===
 * Pager support has been moved into core and is now enabled by default. This is now controlled with the ui.paginate setting.
  * Note that in 4.2-rc, the ui.paginate option was named pager.enable. The old name has been dropped in the final release. If you had turned pagination off using pager.enable=False, please update your config.
 * Color support has also been moved into core and is now enabled by default (the ui.color setting now defaults to 'auto').
 * The new experimental 'show' extension provides a way to view various information about your repository in an ergonomic way. It is deliberately designed for human consumption and not for scripting, so it doesn't carry the same [[CompatibilityRules|backward compatibility guarantees]] as other commands. See 'hg help -e show' for more information.
 * Mercurial now requires `setuptools` on Windows.

=== commands ===
 * Pager support has been added to the 'log', 'diff', 'branches', 'files', 'status', 'summary', and 'tags' commands, as well as the '--patch', '--list', and '--stat' options of hg shelve.
 * bisect: set a blockedtag when running the check command
 * bookmarks: check HG_PENDING strictly
 * branches: populate all template keywords in formatter
 * commandserver: handle backlog before exiting
 * commandserver: prevent unlinking socket twice

 * pager: advertise the config option in the default hgrc
 * pager: avoid shell=True on subprocess.Popen for better errors (Bts:issue5491)
 * pager: don't terminate with extreme prejudice on SIGPIPE (BC)
 * pager: exit cleanly on SIGPIPE (BC)
 * pager: improve support for various flavors of 'more' on Windows
 * pager: use less as a fallback on Unix
 * pull: abort pull --update if config requires destination (Bts:issue5528)
 * serve: add support for Mercurial subrepositories
 * status: handle more node indicators in buildstatus
 * status: support commands.status.relative config
 * update: accept --merge to allow merging across topo branches (Bts:issue5125)
 * verify: fix length check		 * 'mercurial.hg.update*' and 'mercurial.merge.update' now expect a value from
  a set of NAMED_CONSTANTS ('merge.UPDATECHECK_*' constants) rather than a
  collection of magic strings. As of now, the values are the same, but code
  should be prepared for these values to change in the future.

* 'mercurial.hg.updatetotally' is now more thorough about checking its
  'updatecheck' keyword argument. Previously invalid values would have used
  the configured default updatecheck method, but now will raise ValueError.

* 'mercurial.bookmarks.bmstore' no longer has a convenience method for looking
  up changectx instances from a bookmark name. Use
  'repo[repo.bookmarks[name]]' intead of 'repo.bookmarks.changectx(name)'.

23. Mercurial 5.2 (2019-11-05)

Regularly scheduled feature release. An overview of new features available. This is a regularly-scheduled quarterly feature release.

23.1. Backwards Compatibility Changes

* The infinitepush extension is believed to be unused, and will be deleted at

* 'hg grep' now searches working copy file contents by default. We recognize

  • this is a significant change from past behavior, but surveys of large bodies of users indicated nobody used (and almost nobody understood) the previous no-flags behavior of 'hg grep'. The new behavior aligns with the behavior most users expected (including hg's maintainers), which also happens to be the behavior of 'git grep'. Given that the old behavior was confusing to the point of being unusable, we were comfortable changing this behavior.

23.2. API Changes

* 'mercurial.hg.update*' and 'mercurial.merge.update' now expect a value from

  • a set of NAMED_CONSTANTS ('merge.UPDATECHECK_*' constants) rather than a collection of magic strings. As of now, the values are the same, but code should be prepared for these values to change in the future.

* 'mercurial.hg.updatetotally' is now more thorough about checking its

  • 'updatecheck' keyword argument. Previously invalid values would have used

    the configured default updatecheck method, but now will raise ValueError.

* 'mercurial.bookmarks.bmstore' no longer has a convenience method for looking

  • up changectx instances from a bookmark name. Use 'repo[repo.bookmarks[name]]' intead of 'repo.bookmarks.changectx(name)'.
