== Default Format Change ==

These changes affect newly created repositories (or new clones) done with
Mercurial 6.3.

== New Experimental Features ==

== Bug Fixes ==

 * shelve: demonstrate that the state is different across platforms (issue6735)
 * shelve: in test for trailing whitespace, strip commit (issue6735)
 * shelve: remove strip and rely on prior state (issue6735)
 * tests: fix http-bad-server expected errors for python 3.10 (issue6643)
 * status: let `--no-copies` override `ui.statuscopies`
 * releasenotes: use re.MULTILINE mode when checking admonitions

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * chg worker processes will now correctly load per-repository configuration
   when given a both a relative `--repository` path and an alternate working
   directory via `--cwd`. A side-effect of this change is that these workers
   will now return an error if hg cannot find the current working directory,
   even when a different directory is specified via `--cwd`.
 * phase: rename the requirement for internal-phase from `internal-phase` to `use-internal-phase` (see 74fb1842f8b962cf03d7cd5b841dbcf2ae065587)

== Internal API Changes ==

 * packagelib: use python3 by default
 * Improve `hg bisect` performance
 * perf: properly process formatter option in perf::unbundle
 * compare-disco: miscellaneous display improvements
