| * 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. |
