2005-09-21 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-09-21 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.
