Mercurial is a distributed version/source control management tool for software development. Unlike Subversion, Mercurial has a distributed architecture, which gives each developer a local copy of the entire development history. This way it works independently of network access or a central server.
The functionality of Mercurial can be increased with extensions, either by activating the official ones or downloading some from the wiki or by writing your own.
v4.4 [Dec 9, 2017]
1.1. Notable changes
1.1.1. Stricter command option parsing
Mercurial can now optionally parse "early" options (-R/--repository, --cwd, --config, --debugger, and --profile) more strictly, for more secure integration with tools that invoke 'hg' commands. Setting HGPLAIN= strictflags will parse these options more strictly, which prevents them from being injected as arguments to other flags.
1.2. Bug fixes
'hg amend' now correctly handles deleted and removed files, as well as subrepos. (issue5732, issue5677)
largefiles now correctly handles dropped standin files when updating largefiles.
Fixed an issue with deleting symlinks to directories when ui.origbackuppath is set. (issue5731)
1.3. Performance improvements
Improved performance in path conflict checking introduced in Mercurial 4.4. (issue5716)
