Major changes between Mercurial 0.9 and 0.9.1:

New features:

• You can now configure your 'hgweb' server to let remote users 'push' changes over http.
• You can now 'import' a patch in a mail message by saving the mail message, and importing it. This works for patches sent either inline or as attachments.
• The 'diff' command now accepts '-rA:B' syntax as a synonym for '-r A -r B', and adds '-b' and '-B' options.

New contributions and extensions:

• The 'acl' extension lets you lock down parts of a repository against incoming changes
• The 'extdiff' extension lets you run your favourite graphical change viewer
• Comprehensive integration with the 'vim' editor
• A restricted shell for 'ssh'-hosted repositories
• An importer for 'darcs' repositories

New hooks added:

• 'preupdate' is run before an update or merge in the working directory.
• 'update' is run after an update or merge in the working directory.

Behaviour changes:

• NOTE: Mercurial as installed by the Windows binary installer no longer performs automatic line-ending conversion for Unix/Linux compatibility. To re-enable this feature, edit your 'mercurial.ini' file after you upgrade.
• The Windows binary installer now automatically adds 'hg' to your '%PATH%'.
• The 'backout' command now runs an editor by default, to let you modify the commit message for a backed-out changeset.
• An earlier problem with parsing of tags has been fixed. This makes tag parsing slower but more reliable.

Memory usage and performance improvements:

• The 'remove' command has been rewritten to be hundreds of times faster in large repositories.
• It is now possible to 'clone' a repository very quickly over a LAN, if the server is configured to allow it. See the new 'server' section in the 'hgrc' documentation.

Other changes of note:

• Mercurial will now print help for an extension if you type 'hg help EXT_NAME'.
• The usual array of bug fixes and documentation improvements.
• The integrated web server is now more WSGI-compliant.
• Work has begun to solidify Mercurial's API for use by third-party packages.
