- Mercurial 4.2
This is a regularly-scheduled quarterly feature release.
* Notable changes
+ Pager support has been moved into core and is now enabled by default.
This is now controlled with the ui.paginate setting.
Note that in 4.2-rc, the ui.paginate option was named pager.enable. The
old name has been dropped in the final release. If you had turned
pagination off using pager.enable=False, please update your config.
+ Color support has also been moved into core and is now enabled by default
(the ui.color setting now defaults to 'auto').
+ The new experimental 'show' extension provides a way to view various
information about your repository in an ergonomic way. It is deliberately
designed for human consumption and not for scripting, so it doesn't carry
the same backward compatibility guarantees as other commands. See
'hg help -e show' for more information.
+ Mercurial now requires `setuptools` on Windows
