New Experimental Features#

Bug Fixes#

Backwards Compatibility Changes#

  • A shell that supports $(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now  required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses  sh, so if that is a shell that doesn't support \((command)` syntax, you can override it by setting `\)HGTEST_SHELLor by passing it to run-tests.py –shell `.

  • The (experimental) narrow extension’s wire protocol changed. If you’re using it, you’ll need to make sure to upgrade server and client at the same time.

Internal API Changes#
