Mercurial 1.5 and TortoiseHg 1.0 released!

by Nino 16. March 2010 17:57

As some of my readers may know, I’m a big fan of the Mercurial distributed version control system, and I have it installed on all my dev machines and VMs.  I opened up http://mercurial.selenic.com tonight to pull down the Hg + TortoiseHg bits for a new VM and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Hg 1.5 and TortoiseHg 1.0 have been released (2010-03-06).  There are many important changes, so be certain to read the release and upgrade notes (and review the release planfor future release dates).

reboot

by Nino 9. March 2010 19:43

I have restarted my The Mobile Minute series tonight after a very sparse year of posting in 2009, and am nearly complete overhauling my blog (there may be some unavailable content/broken links this week).

I decided to pick up TMM right where it left off, and have decided upon a thrice weekly, minimum, publishing schedule.    I also have some other limited posting series in the works, and I’m looking forward to getting those published.

I’m sure that some folks are wondering why or what happened. In sum, the last few years have been a tough balancing of priorities, and I’m now able to put community involvement  back in the mix. I look forward to getting back into the community and sharing knowledge, which is something I truly enjoy.
