Mercurial 5.3 release

This is an overview of the 5.3 release.

1. New Features

• Windows will process hgrc files in %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\hgrc.d.

2. New Experimental Features

3. Bug Fixes

• The indent() template function was documented to not indent empty lines,

  • but it still indented the first line even if it was empty. It no longer does that.

4. Backwards Compatibility Changes

5. Internal API Changes

• Matcher instances no longer have a explicitdir property. Consider

  • rewriting your code to use repo.wvfs.isdir() and/or ctx.hasdir() instead. Also, the traversedir property is now also called when only explicitdir used to be called. That may mean that you can simply remove the use of explicitdir if you were already using traversedir.

• The revlog.nodemap object have been merged into the revlog.index object.

  • n in revlog.nodemap becomes revlog.index.has_node(n),

  • revlog.nodemap[n] becomes revlog.index.rev(n),

  • revlog.nodemap.get(n) becomes revlog.index.get_rev(n).

• copies.duplicatecopies() was renamed to

  • copies.graftcopies(). Its arguments changed from revision numbers to context objects. It also lost its repo and skip arguments (they should no longer be needed).
