Release Notes for TortoiseHg
This wiki page contains last minute notes to users about the releases, which may not be included in the documentation or README files included with the distribution kits. It also contains change information, for users who are interested in what bugs have been fixed, and what features have been added in the current version. See also the bug fixes and enhancements made on the upcoming release repository.
Note that like TortoiseSVN, we recommend to to turn off the indexing service on the working copies and repositories, and exclude them from virus scans.
TortoiseHg 0.9.3
0.9.3 is a bug fix release. Upgrading from 0.9.2 is optional.
Bug fixes

- #807 - refresh URLs in Repository Explorer
- #826 - support repositories in share root directories
- #864 - changelog: use file filter pattern when launching diffs

- #893 - fix traceback on match row activation in rename guess dialog
- Standardize on 'TortoiseHg' name in context menu
- About dialog will report new releases and offer a download link (Windows only)
- The timeout for ::PathIsDirectory calls has been increased, resulting in improved overlay accuracy for some users.
Installer Changes
- This release includes the mercurial_keyring extension, for caching authentication responses for HTTP(s). (#103, #854). http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/0.9/extensions.html#mercurial-keyring
- This release includes the dulwich python library, so hg-git can run without dependencies
- This release includes the perfarce extension (command line use only, GUI support will arrive in the next feature release) http://www.kingswood-consulting.co.uk/hg/perfarce/
- Shell extension DLLs now have version numbers
TortoiseHg 0.9.2
0.9.2 is a bug fix release. Upgrading from 0.9.1.1 is optional.
Note: the initial installer did not install overlays properly on fresh installs. See #839.
The 0.9.2-1 Windows package fixed a bug (#839) in the original 0.9.2 package. If you have THG 0.9.2 installed, there is a simple to test to determine whether you have the broken (0.9.2) install or the fixed (0.9.2-1) install. If you have no overlay icons in Explorer, you have the broken install. Use the workaround described in #839 to fix the problem. Once you run the appropriate TortoiseOverlay installers, you will have the exact same configuration as if you had downloaded and installed the fixed 0.9.2-1 package. In other words, the only difference between 0.9.2 and 0.9.2-1 is the latter will run the appropriate TortoiseOverlay installers for you at install time, while the former did not.

TortoiseHg 0.9
Released November 16, 2009
Codenamed Sandpaper
Packaged Versions
TortoiseHg 0.9 requires Mercurial version 1.4
Behavior Changes
- dropped support for external commit tools
- potentially harmful extensions are no longer loaded for you. MQ, qup, rebase, transplant, and fetch must be enabled by the user to unlock their support inside the TortoiseHg tools.
- The synchronize tool has been deprecated. Most of it's functionality has been merged into the changelog tool. Synchronize will be removed in a future release.
- commit tool - after a commit, all remaining files are unchecked
- commit/status/etc - context menus were refactored as per issue #133
Note During upgrade, it is possible for the taskbar app to crash when the installer closes it. This only happens if the taskbar config dialog has been opened, and it only seems to happen on slower XP machines. It is also harmless. The installer was trying to kill it, it just happened to die in a non-orderly fashion. Just ignore the crash. If you don't want to see this happen, simply exit the taskbar app before starting the upgrade.
