Be sure to read the upgrade notes when upgrading.

(See the archive for older versions)

2. Mercurial 4.2.1 (2017-6-4)

3. Mercurial 4.2 (2017-5-2)

An overview of new features available. This is a regularly-scheduled quarterly feature release.

3.1. Notable changes

• Pager support has been moved into core and is now enabled by default. This is now controlled with the ui.paginate setting.
  • Note that in 4.2-rc, the ui.paginate option was named pager.enable. The old name has been dropped in the final release. If you had turned pagination off using pager.enable=False, please update your config.
• Color support has also been moved into core and is now enabled by default (the ui.color setting now defaults to 'auto').

• The new experimental 'show' extension provides a way to view various information about your repository in an ergonomic way. It is deliberately designed for human consumption and not for scripting, so it doesn't carry the same backward compatibility guarantees as other commands. See 'hg help -e show' for more information.

• Mercurial now requires setuptools on Windows.

3.2. commands

• Pager support has been added to the 'log', 'diff', 'branches', 'files', 'status', 'summary', and 'tags' commands, as well as the '--patch', '--list', and '--stat' options of hg shelve.

17. Mercurial 3.8 / 3.8.1 (2016-5-1)

(3.8.1 was released immediately after 3.8 to fix a release oversight.)

Regularly scheduled feature release. This release contains a low-priority security fix for:

CVE-2016-3105 Mercurial: arbitrary code execution when converting Git repos

• Mercurial prior to 3.8 allowed arbitrary code execution when using the convert extension on Git repos with hostile names. This could affect automated code conversion services that allow arbitrary repository names. This is a further side-effect of Git CVE-2015-7545. Reported and fixed by Blake Burkhart.
