9 9
10 10 <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
11 11
12 12 <p>Mercurial is a command-line application. You must run it from
13 13 the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
14 14 href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p>
15 15
16 16 <p>For documentation, please visit the <a
17 17 href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web
18 18 site</a>.</p>
19 19
20 20 <p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>. The
21 21 Mercurial command is called <tt>hg.exe</tt>. To run this
22 22 command, the install directory must be in your search path.</p>
23 23
24 24 <h2>Setting your search path temporarily</h2>
25 25
26 26 <p>To set your search path temporarily, type the following into a
27 27 command prompt window:</p>
28 28
29 29 <pre>
30 30 set PATH=C:\Mercurial;%PATH%
31 31 </pre>
32 32
33 33 <h2>Setting your search path permanently</h2>
34 34
35 35 <p>To set your search path permanently, perform the following
36 36 steps. These instructions are for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.</p>
37 37
38 38 <ol>
39 39 <li>Open the Control Panel. Under Windows XP, select the
40 40 "Classic View".</li>
41 41
42 42 <li>Double-click on the "System" control panel.</li>
43 43
44 44 <li>Click on the "Advanced" tab.</li>
45 45
46 46 <li>Click on "Environment Variables". You'll find this near the
47 47 bottom of the window.</li>
48 48
49 49 <li>Under "System variables", you will see "Path". Double-click
50 50 it.</li>
51 51
52 52 <li>Edit "Variable value". Each path element is separated by a
53 53 semicolon (";") character. Append a semicolon to the end of the
54 54 list, followed by the path where you installed Mercurial
55 55 (e.g. <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>).</li>
56 56
57 57 <li>Click on the various "OK" buttons until you've completely
58 58 exited from the System control panel.</li>
59 59
60 60 <li>Log out and log back in, or restart your system.</li>
61 61
62 62 <li>The next time you run the Windows command prompt, you will be
63 63 able to run the <tt>hg</tt> command without any special
64 64 help.</li>
65 65 </ol>
66 66
67 67 <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
68 68
69 69 <p>The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to
70 70 just type the following at the command prompt:</p>
71 71
72 72 <pre>
73 73 hg
74 74 </pre>
75 75
76 76 <p>This command should print a useful help message. If it does,
77 77 other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p>
78 78

8 8 Release Notes
9 9 -------------
10 10
11 2006-01-29 v0.8
12
13 * Upgrade notes:
14
15 - diff and status command are now repo-wide by default
16 (use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior)
17 - GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension
18 - the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed
19 - the copy/rename --parents option has been removed
20
21 * Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8:
22
23 - faster status, diff, and commit
24 - reduced memory usage for push and pull
25 - improved extension API
26 - new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions
27 - short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb
28 - numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev
29 - improved hooks and file filtering
30
31
11 32 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
12 33
13 34 * New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour:
14 35
15 36 System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini
16 37 Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini
17 38
18 39 A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with
19 40 Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be
20 41 honoured if you create one.
21 42
22 43 * Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by
23 44 the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to
24 45 customise this behaviour.
25 46
26 47 * NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows
27 48 line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command,
28 49 for example, will appear huge until I fix this.
29 50
30 51 * Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings.
31 52
32 53
33 54 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
34 55
35 56 * This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows.
36 57
37 58 * I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is
38 59 no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
