Release Notes
-------------
+2006-05-10 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.
