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

8 7 Release Notes
9 8 -------------
10 9
10 2006-05-10 v0.9
11
12 * Major changes between Mercurial 0.8.1 and 0.9:
13
14 - The repository file format has been improved.
15 - This has resulted in an average 40% reduction in disk space usage.
16 - The new format (called RevlogNG) is now the default.
17 - Mercurial works perfectly with both the old and new repository
18 file formats. It can transfer changes transparently between
19 repositories of either format.
20 - To use the new repository format, simply use `hg clone --pull` to
21 clone an existing repository.
22 - Note: Versions 0.8.1 and earlier of Mercurial cannot read
23 RevlogNG repositories directly, but they can `clone`, `pull`
24 from, and `push` to servers that are serving RevlogNG
25 repositories.
26 - Memory usage has been improved by over 50% for many common operations.
27 - Substantial performance improvements on large repositories.
28 - New commands:
29 - 'archive' - generate a directory tree snapshot, tarball, or zip
30 file of a revision
31 - Deprecated commands:
32 - 'addremove' - replaced by 'add' and 'remove --after'
33 - 'forget' - replaced by 'revert'
34 - 'undo' - replaced by 'rollback'
35 - New extensions:
36 - Bugzilla integration hook
37 - Email notification hook
38 - Nested repositories are now supported. Mercurial will not recurse
39 into a subdirectory that contains a '.hg' directory. It is treated
40 as a separate repository.
41 - The standalone web server, 'hg serve', is now threaded, so it can
42 talk to multiple clients at a time.
43 - The web server can now display a "message of the day".
44 - Support added for hooks written in Python.
45 - Many improvements and clarifications to built-in help.
46
47
11 48 2006-04-07 v0.8.1
12 49
13 50 * Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1:
14 51
15 52 - new extensions:
16 53 mq (manage a queue of patches, like quilt only better)
17 54 email (send changes as series of email patches)
18 55 - new command: merge (replaces "update -m")
19 56 - improved commands: log (--limit option added), pull/push ("-r" works
20 57 on specific revisions), revert (rewritten, much better)
21 58 - comprehensive hook support
22 59 - output templating added, supporting e.g. GNU changelog style
23 60 - Windows, Mac OS X: prebuilt binary packages, better support
24 61 - many reliability, performance, and memory usage improvements
25 62
26 63
27 64 2006-01-29 v0.8
28 65
29 66 * Upgrade notes:
30 67
31 68 - diff and status command are now repo-wide by default
32 69 (use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior)
33 70 - GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension
34 71 - the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed
35 72 - the copy/rename --parents option has been removed
36 73
37 74 * Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8:
38 75
39 76 - faster status, diff, and commit
40 77 - reduced memory usage for push and pull
41 78 - improved extension API
42 79 - new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions
43 80 - short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb
44 81 - numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev
45 82 - improved hooks and file filtering
46 83
47 84
48 85 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
49 86
50 87 * New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour:
51 88
52 89 System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini
53 90 Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini
54 91
55 92 A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with
56 93 Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be
57 94 honoured if you create one.
58 95
59 96 * Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by
60 97 the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to
61 98 customise this behaviour.
62 99
63 100 * NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows
64 101 line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command,
65 102 for example, will appear huge until I fix this.
66 103
67 104 * Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings.
68 105
69 106
70 107 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications
71 108
72 109 * This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows.
73 110
74 111 * I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is
75 112 no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
