ANN: Mercurial 1.0.2

[Martin Geisler]

I would like to announce the release of Mercurial 1.0.2!

Mercurial is a fast, lightweight Source Control Management system
designed for efficient handling of very large distributed projects. It
scales all the way from big projects like Xen, Mozilla and OpenJDK
down to single-man projects.

Changes since Mercurial 1.0.1:

  Security:
    * ensure that git patches only touch files within the repository
      (CVE-2008-2942)
    * hgweb: fix "allowpull" permission being ignored when pulling
      from hgweb

  General:
    * commit: handle copies of previously deleted files
    * bisect: allow for having multiple resulting changesets
    * fix Python 2.3 compatibility
    * make mq patches and .hgtags hardlink-safe again
    * various documentation improvements and fixes
    * fix a crash when addremove was called to replace a deleted
      directory with a symlink
    * make branches output easier to parse (issue 1230)
    * fix inactive branches detection (issue 1104)
    * hgweb: fix a crash in archive when the URL did not end in an
      expected archive type
    * sshserver: fix a crash in error handling code
    * fix the patchbomb extension on Windows by including email
      package in binary installations
    * handle symlinks when OS supports them but FS doesn't (issue 1149)
