+= TortoiseHg 1.0 =
+
+Released on March 5, 2010
+
+Codenamed **Varnish**
+
+== Packaged Versions ==
+
+The following products are included in our TortoiseHg Windows installers.
+
+* Mercurial 1.5
+* Python 2.6.4 [1]
+* GTK 2.18.7
+* PyGtk 2.16.0
+* python-svn 1.6.6 (for use by hgsubversion and hg convert)
+* dulwich (for use by hg-git and others)
+* Perfarce extension
+* hgeol extension
+* mercurial keychain extension
+* TortoiseSVN's doc diff scripts
+* See extension-versions.txt in the install directory for the complete
+* list of bundled extensions and modules and their versions
+
+[1] If you used any hooks or extensions with previous versions of
+TortoiseHg, and those hooks or extensions added local Python
+site-packages to sys.path, you will have to upgrade your Python to 2.6
+to stay current with TortoiseHg 1.0. Failure to do so will cause hgtk
+to not function correctly. You will see errors on the console about
+failing to import gdialog.
+
+== Behavior Changes ==
+
+=== Entirely new installer ===
+
+The new MSI installers can perform installs and upgrades/downgrades (of
+previous MSI installs) without reboot and perform silent installs. The
+MSI installer packages are now digitally signed.
+
+There are two important details to be aware of:
+
+1) **You must uninstall pre-1.0 (InnoSetup based) installers before
+installing 1.0. Before uninstalling the old version, backup your user
+Mercurial.ini file.** The old installers have a tendency to delete your
+user Mercurial.ini file when they are uninstalled.
+
+2) **There are now separate x86 and x64 installer packages.** Download
+the appropriate package for your platform.
+
+After the first install of an msi installer (not an upgrade or downgrade
+from a previously installed msi installer), a logout/login of all users
+is required to have the overlay icon handler initialized. The context
+menu works without logout/login. Later upgrade (or downgrade) installs
+won't need a logout/login on Vista and Windows 7, as all affected
+programs are shut down by the installer and explorer is restarted
+automatically by the installer.
+
+On Windows XP, a logout/login of all users after every msi upgrade or
+downgrade install is required. If in doubt, doing a reboot will make
+sure all users will get the updated files loaded.
+
+If you don't install any shell extension at all (overlay icons and shell
+context menu), then no logout/login is needed at all.
+
+If you don't install the 32 bit ("x86") shell extension on 64 bit
+versions of Windows, there will be no need to shutdown any 32 bit
+programs on later upgrades/downgrades (which may be handy, because,
+typically, lots of programs -- e.g. email clients, browsers -- are still
+32 bit only). On 64 bit Windows Vista and Windows 7, explorer is a 64
+bit process, so there is no need to install the 32 bit shell extension
+on these systems in order to have the overlay icons and context menu
+working in explorer.
+
+There are more installer details near the end of the release notes.
+
+=== Branch Head Detection ===
+
+In Mercurial 1.5, the 'hg heads' command was changed to make it more
+branch centric. In particular, a revision with children on other
+branches but no child on it's own branch is still considered a branch
+head. For example, if you merge the head of branch A into branch B,
+branch A's head is still considered a repository head even though it has
+a child in branch B.
+
+TortoiseHg tries to follow along with this semantic change, primarily in
+the commit tool. We no longer warn of creating new heads when
+committing on a branch head that has children in other branches. And
+similarly merging heads of two branches no longer indicates the reducing
+of the number of heads. Refs #953
+
+=== Shell extension configuration removed from taskbar app ===
+
+The Shell extension configuration tool is now launched from its own
+shell context menu option named "Explorer extension settings". The
+dialog no longer has a logging feature, so debugging overlay refresh
+issues must be done by manually starting the thgtaskbar.exe application
+from a command line window.
+
+=== CopyHash configurable removed ===
+
+The tortoisehg.copyhash configurable, marked deprecated in 0.9, was
+removed in this release. Use the 'Copy Hash' context menu option in the
+Repository Explorer instead.
+
+=== Skip Diff Window removed ===
+
+The tortoisehg.nodiffwin configurable has been made obsolete by an
+overhaul of the visual diff system. The system automatically detects
+when the visual diff window is required.
+
+== Enhancements ==
+
+=== Visual Diff Overhaul ===
+
+The visual diff infrastructure was largely overhauled in this release to
+detect diff tools on your computer and use them optimally. Among other
+improvements, it now supports visual diffs of renames and copies, as
+well as many common binary formats. For details, see
+
+http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/1.0/common.html#visual-diffs
+
+Refs #567, #166
+
+=== Import Dialog ===
+
+TortoiseHg can now import (or qimport) patches from a dialog which
+supports file and folder drag-n-drop.
+
+See http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/1.0/patches.html#import-patches for details
+
+=== Perforce Integration via perfarce extension ===
+
+TortoiseHg can now operate as a front end to a Perforce client via the
+use of the perfarce extension.
+
+See http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/1.0/extensions.html#perfarce for details
+
+=== HTTP(s)/SMTP keychain integration ===
+
+The mercurial-keyring extension is now bundled. It caches passwords for
+HTTP(S) and SMTP requests. It must be enabled and configured to
+activate the cache behavior.
+
+See http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/1.0/extensions.html#mercurial-keyring
+for details.
+
+Refs #103, #854
+
+=== Changeset Message Links ===
+
+The Repository Explorer now parses your commit messages for changeset
+hashes, HTTP(S) URLs, and bug tracker links. For more information, see
+
+http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/1.0/changelog.html#message-parsing
+
+Refs #315, #369

+
+== Installer Changes ==
+
+TortoiseOverlays are now included as "merge modules" so they no longer
+appear in **Add/Remove Programs** as separate applications. It should
+be safe to uninstall old versions of TortoiseOverlays you find on your
+computer at the same time you uninstall your older TortoiseHg installs,
+so long as you do not have other Tortoise utilities that use them
+(TortoiseCVS or TortoiseBzr, for instance). Future upgrades and
+uninstalls should handle TortoiseOverlays seamlessly.
+
+Similarly, we include the MSVC CRT redistributables using MS's approved
+merge modules.
+
+Because of these first two changes, the MSI installers require elevated
+install privileges. We do not intend to make any ZIP style installers
+for download, though users are free to make them for their own use.
+Refs #677
+
+The new MSI packages will refuse to upgrade an old InnoSetup install.
+The old install must be removed and rebooted before installing the MSI
+package. The good news is this should be the last reboot required by
+THG. MSI packages will upgrade or downgrade other MSI packages without
+reboot.
+
+If the old InnoSetup installer created your user Mercurial.ini file (if
+it asked for your username and email address) the old installer will try
+to delete that file when you uninstall it. We *highly* recommend you
+backup your user Mercurial.ini file before uninstalling your existing
+TortoiseHg package. The new MSI installers do not have this problem.
+
+MSI's use the Windows Installer framework, so you get safer upgrades,
+repair facilities, and safe rollbacks after errors.
+
+There are now separate packages for x86 and x64 targets. They will
+refuse to install on inappropriate architectures so just be aware of the
+split.
+
+The x64 package correctly installs the x86 portions under
+${ProgramFiles(x86)} and the x64 portion under ${CommonProgramFiles}.
+This is a change from the pre-1.0 installers.
