Version 0.9 - 2006-05-10
[http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2006-May/008093.html Release announcement.]
DRAFT
These are the major changes between Mercurial 0.8.1 and 0.9:
- The repository file format has been improved.
- This has resulted in an average 40% reduction in disk space usage.
- The new format (called RevlogNG) is now the default.
- Mercurial works perfectly with both the old and new repository file formats. It can transfer changes transparently between repositories of either format.
To use the new repository format, simply use hg clone --pull to clone an existing repository.
Note: Versions 0.8.1 and earlier of Mercurial cannot read RevlogNG repositories directly, but they can clone, pull from, and push to servers that are serving RevlogNG repositories.
- Memory usage has been improved by over 50% for many common operations.
- Substantial performance improvements on large repositories.
- New commands:
archive - generate a directory tree snapshot, tarball, or zip file of a revision
- Deprecated commands:
addremove - replaced by add and remove --after
forget - replaced by revert
undo - replaced by rollback
- New extensions:
- Bugzilla integration hook
- Email notification hook
Nested repositories are now supported. Mercurial will not recurse into a subdirectory that contains a .hg directory. It is treated as a separate repository.
The standalone web server, hg serve, is now threaded, so it can talk to multiple clients at a time.
- The web server can now display a "message of the day".
- Support added for hooks written in Python.
- Many improvements and clarifications to built-in help.

email (send changes as series of email patches)
New command: merge (replaces update -m)

log (--limit option added)
pull and push (-r works on specific revisions)
revert (rewritten, much better)

- Windows, Mac OS X: prebuilt binary packages, better support
