                 <p>Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!</p>
                 <p>Mercurial is a command-line application.  You must run it from
                   the Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a <a
                   href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> shell).</p>
                 <p><div class="indented"><i>Note: the standard <a
                   href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> msys startup script uses
                   rxvt which has problems setting up standard input and output.
                   Running bash directly works correctly.</i></div>
                 <p>For documentation, please visit the <a
                   href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial web site</a>.</p>
                 <p>By default, Mercurial installs to <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>.  The
                   Mercurial command is called <tt>hg.exe</tt>.  To run this
                   command, the install directory must be in your search path.</p>
                 <h2>Setting your search path temporarily</h2>
                 <p>To set your search path temporarily, type the following into a
                   command prompt window:</p>
                 <pre>
             set PATH=C:\Mercurial;%PATH%
             </pre>
                 <h2>Setting your search path permanently</h2>
                 <p>To set your search path permanently, perform the following
                   steps.  These instructions are for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.</p>
                 <ol>
                   <li>Open the Control Panel.  Under Windows XP, select the
             	"Classic View".</li>
                   <li>Double-click on the "System" control panel.</li>
                   <li>Click on the "Advanced" tab.</li>
                   <li>Click on "Environment Variables".  You'll find this near the
             	bottom of the window.</li>
                   <li>Under "System variables", you will see "Path".  Double-click
             	it.</li>
                   <li>Edit "Variable value".  Each path element is separated by a
             	semicolon (";") character.  Append a semicolon to the end of the
             	list, followed by the path where you installed Mercurial
             	(e.g. <tt>C:\Mercurial</tt>).</li>
                   <li>Click on the various "OK" buttons until you've completely
             	exited from the System control panel.</li>
                   <li>Log out and log back in, or restart your system.</li>
                   <li>The next time you run the Windows command prompt, you will be
             	able to run the <tt>hg</tt> command without any special
             	help.</li>
                 </ol>
                 <h1>Testing Mercurial after you've installed it</h1>
                 <p>The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to
                   just type the following at the command prompt:</p>
                 <pre>
             hg
             </pre>
                 <p>This command should print a useful help message.  If it does,
                   other Mercurial commands should work fine for you.</p>
                 <h1>Reporting problems</h1>

             Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!
             ---------------------------------
             For configuration and usage directions, please read the ReadMe.html
             file that comes with this package.
             Release Notes
             -------------
+-05-10  v0.9
+            * Major changes between Mercurial 0.8.1 and 0.9:
+              - The repository file format has been improved.
+                - This has resulted in an average 40% reduction in disk space    usage.
+                - The new format (called RevlogNG) is now the default.
+                - Mercurial works perfectly with both the old and new repository
+                  file formats. It can transfer changes transparently between
+                  repositories of either format.
+                - To use the new repository format, simply use `hg clone --pull` to
+                  clone an existing repository.
+                - Note: Versions 0.8.1 and earlier of Mercurial cannot read
+                  RevlogNG repositories directly, but they can `clone`, `pull`
+                  from, and `push` to servers that are serving RevlogNG
+                  repositories.
+              - Memory usage has been improved by over 50% for many common operations.
+              - Substantial performance improvements on large repositories.
+              - New commands:
+                - 'archive' - generate a directory tree snapshot, tarball, or zip
+                  file of a revision
+              - Deprecated commands:
+                - 'addremove' - replaced by 'add' and 'remove --after'
+                - 'forget' - replaced by 'revert'
+                - 'undo' - replaced by 'rollback'
+              - New extensions:
+                - Bugzilla integration hook
+                - Email notification hook
+              - Nested repositories are now supported. Mercurial will not recurse
+                into a subdirectory that contains a '.hg' directory. It is treated
+                as a separate repository.
+              - The standalone web server, 'hg serve', is now threaded, so it can
+                talk to multiple clients at a time.
+              - The web server can now display a "message of the day".
+              - Support added for hooks written in Python.
+              - Many improvements and clarifications to built-in help.
 -04-07  v0.8.1
             * Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1:
               - new extensions:
                 mq (manage a queue of patches, like quilt only better)
                 email (send changes as series of email patches)
               - new command: merge (replaces "update -m")
               - improved commands: log (--limit option added), pull/push ("-r" works
                 on specific revisions), revert (rewritten, much better)
               - comprehensive hook support
               - output templating added, supporting e.g. GNU changelog style
               - Windows, Mac OS X: prebuilt binary packages, better support
               - many reliability, performance, and memory usage improvements
 -01-29  v0.8
             * Upgrade notes:
               - diff and status command are now repo-wide by default
                (use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior)
               - GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension
               - the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed
               - the copy/rename --parents option has been removed
             * Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8:
               - faster status, diff, and commit
               - reduced memory usage for push and pull
               - improved extension API
               - new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions
               - short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb
               - numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev
               - improved hooks and file filtering
 -09-21  v0.7 with modifications
             * New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour:
                 System-wide -  C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini
                 Per-user    -  C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini
               A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with
               Mercurial.  No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be
               honoured if you create one.
             * Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by
               the update and commit commands.  See the INI file for how to
               customise this behaviour.
             * NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows
               line endings properly.  Accordingly, the output of the diff command,
               for example, will appear huge until I fix this.
             * Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings.
 -09-21  v0.7 with modifications
             * This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows.
             * I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is
               no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
