+= 0.8 Release July 1, 2009 =
+
+== C++ Shell Extension ==
+
+The Python shell extension has been removed in favor of a pure C++ shell
+extension which directly reads the Mercurial dirstate for overlays, and
+produces hard-coded context menus. This should fix much of the
+interoperability problems reported in issue #67, and it fixes the
+overlay performance problems we have suffered since version 0.1.
+
+To support fast overlay icons, we have introduced a taskbar application
+(thgtaskbar.exe, programmed in Python) that externalizes the refreshing
+of cache information (new cache file ".hg/thgstatus") into a separate
+server process (started on user logon), controlled by the shell
+extension over a named pipe. thgtaskbar.exe adds a systray icon with an
+options dialog to control settings affecting the shell extension.
+
+== X64 Support ==
+
+The C++ TortoiseHg shell extension works properly in x64 Vista and Win7
+environments. Release 0.8 does not support having 32bit and 64bit
+extensions installed on the same machine. We do plan to support this in
+0.9.
+
+== Translations ==
+
+TortoiseHg 0.8 is the first release to include translations. This
+release has translations for 13 locales. Eight of those are full or
+nearly full translations.
+
+== Linux packages ==
+
+RPM and DEB packages will be made available for download for this
+release.

+
+== Behavior Changes ==
+
+The Ctrl-O accelerator in the commit tool removed, replaced by a
+Ctrl-Enter generic accelerator that is common to many dialogs.
+
+Shell extension configuration removed from Mercurial.ini. However they
+are editable in the taskbar options dialog and changes made there take
+effect immediately.
+
+There is no supported method in 0.8 for de-registering the shell
+extension without uninstalling THG. You can globally disable the
+overlays via it's configurable option, but the context menu is always
+present.
+
+Merge and unmerge were removed from the shell context menu. You must
+use the changelog tool to perform merges.
+
+The changelog tool does not show all file diffs in a changeset right
+away. It only shows the first file's diffs. To see all diffs at once,
+the user must click 'All Files' at the top of the file list.
+
+Changelog, commit, status, etc all obey a maximum file size for showing
+diffs (default is 1MB). Files above this size will not be diffed for
+performance reasons (obviously you can still commit them). This max
+diff limit is configurable per-repository via the settings dialog.
+
+The default dbl-click action in the Changelog tool is now visual diff.
+In previous releases it was 'Display Change'.
+
+Commit, status, shelve no longer show all diffs at once. They only show
+diffs for the selected file. This change was made for performance
+reasons.
+
+The 'show diffs' button was removed from commit, status, shelve.
+
+hgtk forks a separate process for GUI commands, freeing up the CLI.
+HGTK_NOFORK environment variable and the --nofork argument disable the
+forking behavior. This will be user configurable in 0.9.
+
+== Installer / Source Changes ==
+
+The hgtk script has been moved from contrb/ into the project root.
+
+The hgproc script and batch file have been removed.
+
+The tortoise python package has been removed.
+
+The thgutil package has been added.
+
+The tracelog application has been removed, since THG no longer uses
+win32traceutil. Dbgview from sysinternals can be used to debug the new
+shell extension.
+
+The forest and qct extensions are no longer bundled. Forest is being
+replaced by a core Mercurial feature (subrepo) in hg-1.3, and qct has
+not been included in THG since 0.6. Both extensions can still be used
+with THG 0.8, you must download them and then specify their full path in
+your user Mercurial.ini file.
+
+We no longer bundle extra GTK themes. We only ship MS-Windows since it
+now works correctly on all the platforms we're interested in.
+
+We no longer bundle msvcp71.dll and msvcr.dll
+
+We no longer bundle Putty.exe and Puttygen.exe, but Pageant is still
+included.
+
+We now bundle win32 and x64 versions of TortoiseOverlays.
