This release has several important feature enhancements.
* New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour:
System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini
Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini
A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with
Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be
honoured if you create one.
* Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by
the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to
customise this behaviour. This means that you can interoperate with
people using Mercurial on Linux and Unix.
* NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows
line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command,
for example, will appear huge until I fix this.
* Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings.
