== New Features ==
 
 * `hg purge` is now a core command using `--confirm` by default.
 
 * The `rev-branch-cache` is now updated incrementally whenever changesets
   are added.

 * The new options `experimental.bundlecompthreads` and
   `experimental.bundlecompthreads.<engine>` can be used to instruct
   the compression engines for bundle operations to use multiple threads
   for compression. The default is single threaded operation. Currently
   only supported for zstd.

== New Experimental Features ==

 * There's a new `diff.merge` config option to show the changes
    relative to an automerge for merge changesets. This makes it
    easier to detect and review manual changes performed in merge
    changesets. It is supported by `hg diff --change`, `hg log -p`
    `hg incoming -p`, and `hg outgoing -p` so far.


== Bug Fixes ==



== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * In normal repositories, the first parent of a changeset is not null,
   unless both parents are null (like the first changeset). Some legacy
   repositories violate this condition. The revlog code will now
   silentely swap the parents if this condition is tested. This can
   change the output of `hg log` when explicitly asking for first or
   second parent.


== Internal API Changes ==

 * `changelog.branchinfo` is deprecated and will be removed after 5.8.
   It is superseded by `changelogrevision.branchinfo`.

 * Callbacks for revlog.addgroup and the changelog._nodeduplicatecallback hook
   now get a revision number as argument instead of a node.

 * revlog.addrevision returns the revision number instead of the node.
