19 19 <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
20 20
21 21 <p>Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
22 22 the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
23 23 href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p>
24 24
25 25 <p><div class="indented"><i>Note: the standard <a
26 26 href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> msys startup script uses
27 27 rxvt which has problems setting up standard input and output.
28 28 Running bash directly works correctly.</i></div>
29 29
30 30 <p>For documentation, please visit the <a
31 31 href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web site</a>.</p>
32 32
33 33 <p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>. The
34 34 Mercurial command is called <tt>hg.exe</tt>. To run this
35 35 command, the install directory must be in your search path.</p>
36 36
37 37 <h2>Setting your search path temporarily</h2>
38 38
39 39 <p>To set your search path temporarily, type the following into a
40 40 command prompt window:</p>
41 41
42 42 <pre>
43 43 set PATH=C:\Mercurial;%PATH%
44 44 </pre>
45 45
46 46 <h2>Setting your search path permanently</h2>
47 47
48 48 <p>To set your search path permanently, perform the following
49 49 steps. These instructions are for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.</p>
50 50
51 51 <ol>
52 52 <li>Open the Control Panel. Under Windows XP, select the
53 53 "Classic View".</li>
54 54
55 55 <li>Double-click on the "System" control panel.</li>
56 56
57 57 <li>Click on the "Advanced" tab.</li>
58 58
59 59 <li>Click on "Environment Variables". You'll find this near the
60 60 bottom of the window.</li>
61 61
62 62 <li>Under "System variables", you will see "Path". Double-click
63 63 it.</li>
64 64
65 65 <li>Edit "Variable value". Each path element is separated by a
66 66 semicolon (";") character. Append a semicolon to the end of the
67 67 list, followed by the path where you installed Mercurial
68 68 (e.g. <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>).</li>
69 69
70 70 <li>Click on the various "OK" buttons until you've completely
71 71 exited from the System control panel.</li>
72 72
73 73 <li>Log out and log back in, or restart your system.</li>
74 74
75 75 <li>The next time you run the Windows command prompt, you will be
76 76 able to run the <tt>hg</tt> command without any special
77 77 help.</li>
78 78 </ol>
79 79
80 80 <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
81 81
82 82 <p>The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to
83 83 just type the following at the command prompt:</p>
84 84
85 85 <pre>
86 86 hg
87 87 </pre>
88 88
89 89 <p>This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
90 90 other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p>
91 91
92 92 <h1>Reporting problems</h1>
93 93
94 94 <p>Before you report any problems, please consult the <a

8 8 Release Notes
9 9 -------------
10 10
11 2006-04-07 v0.8.1
12
13 * Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1:
14
15 - new extensions:
16 mq (manage a queue of patches, like quilt only better)
17 email (send changes as series of email patches)
18 - new command: merge (replaces "update -m")
19 - improved commands: log (--limit option added), pull/push ("-r" works
20 on specific revisions), revert (rewritten, much better)
21 - comprehensive hook support
22 - output templating added, supporting e.g. GNU changelog style
23 - Windows, Mac OS X: prebuilt binary packages, better support
24 - many reliability, performance, and memory usage improvements
25
26
11 27 2006-01-29 v0.8
12 28
13 29 * Upgrade notes:
14 30
15 31 - diff and status command are now repo-wide by default
16 32 (use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior)
17 33 - GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension
18 34 - the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed
19 35 - the copy/rename --parents option has been removed
20 36
21 37 * Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8:
22 38
23 39 - faster status, diff, and commit
24 40 - reduced memory usage for push and pull
25 41 - improved extension API
26 42 - new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions
27 43 - short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb
28 44 - numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev
29 45 - improved hooks and file filtering
30 46
31 47
32 48 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
33 49
34 50 * New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour:
35 51
36 52 System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini
37 53 Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini
38 54
39 55 A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with
40 56 Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be
41 57 honoured if you create one.
42 58
43 59 * Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by
44 60 the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to
45 61 customise this behaviour.
46 62
47 63 * NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows
48 64 line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command,
49 65 for example, will appear huge until I fix this.
50 66
51 67 * Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings.
52 68
53 69
54 70 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
55 71
56 72 * This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows.
57 73
58 74 * I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is
59 75 no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
