Release date

TortoiseHg is an all-inclusive Mercurial binary installer package for Windows, which provides a windows explorer extension (shell extension), so that Mercurial commands can be executed from the context menu of the explorer (see [http://tortoisehg.sourceforge.net/images/screenshots/tortoisehg-snapshot-contextmenu.png screenshot]).

Command line "hg" is included as well. No other packages are needed (for example, Python is already included as a dll).

Includes several dialogs, for example for committing and history viewing/diffing. Also includes a MergeProgram and software for ssh server access.

Dialogs can also be invoked on the command line with hgtk:

> hgtk

Note that TortoiseHg 0.3, according to it's [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tortoisehg/ project page on SourceForge], currently has "Alpha" development status. The first release 0.1 was published on 2007-12-27. You thus might want to consider using other binary packages for production use of Mercurial on Windows (see [:BinaryPackages]).
