Heptapod 0.6.2 released

[Georges Racinet]

Hi,

we're glad to announce the release of version 0.6.2 of Heptapod,
the adaptation of GitLab CE for Mercurial.

You can also read this announcement on the official Heptapod website
(https://heptapod.net/heptapod-062-released.html#heptapod-062-released).

It is available on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/r/octobus/heptapod)

This version is mostly about improving the imports, notably from
Bitbucket. The full changelog can be read online alongside the Dockerfile
(https://dev.heptapod.net/heptapod/heptapod-docker/blob/branch/heptapod-0-6-stable/heptapod/CHANGES.md)

and in the full description of the images in Docker Hub.

A stable branch for Heptapod 0.6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With this version, for the first time, we've decided to fork our
development process into two branches, with branches named along the
lines ofheptapod-0-6-stable  for the 0.6 series and
heptapod  ordefault  for the upcoming Heptapod 0.7.

Indeed, with Heptapod 0.6, we reached a point where the overall
behaviour of Mercurial in the GitLab context is satisfying enough that we can
be comfortable just improving on it or fixing bugs without taking
risks for our users.

It's already almost sure that there will be a 0.6.3, with at least more
improvements of the Bitbucket import.

Ongoing development of Heptapod 0.7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to the existence of the 0.6 stable branch, we'll be free to
engage in a more aggressive approach for the ongoing 0.7 development,
that happens in parallel:

- Bumps of the base upstream GitLab versions. These will lead us to a
   bolder update policy on instances managed by Octobus, notably
   dev.heptapod.net.

- Reorganisation of Mercurial configuration files (HGRCs), bringing us
   group-level HGRCs, and leading the way to development of dedicated
   management interfaces in the farther future.

- More inner technical refactoring, making the interplay between
   GitLab and Mercurial more direct and robust.
