MercurialEclipse 1.3.1019 on MacOs X Leopard

As of today, the first of the 1.3 versions of MercurialEclipse is released: 1.3.1019. Since we heard you like bugs fixed, we did some bug fixing, but also added some new features. The changelog looks like this:

• Enable remote compare for outgoing changesets (r1000-r1004).
  

  Outgoing changes can now be shown in the Eclipse compare editor.

• Fix multi-threading issues (e.g. r997).
• Use hgattic extension for shelving/unshelving if it is available (r1012).
  

  If the HgAttic extension is installed, shelve and unshelve will use it.

• Support aliases for repositories
• Beginnings of a project property page (r1016).
  

  A property page shows associated repositories.

• Bumped default timeout (r1017).
• Saved commit messages are now configurable (r955).
• Added option to choose color and font for decoration of changed, unknown, removed, added, ignored and conflicting files (r957).
  

  Colors and fonts of decorations can now freely be chosen.

• Fixed massive performance bug in status decoration. Big projects will see major speed-ups when an incremental build is triggered, as builds don’t trigger status updates anymore (r981).
• Fix for username caching in repository location.
• Allow ignoring resources that are not in the status unknown.
• Chinese translation, fix log parsing, add Options page for Import/Export of patches.
• Added commit message dropdown in commit dialog #83 (r952).
  

  The commit dialog now allows to select a previously used commit message.

  

  After selection of a previous commit message, it is automatically pasted into the message area.

As I’ve just spotted, some important additions have been committed to the repository
of the bookmarks extension: Push now supports only pushing non-bookmarked changesets, which means that your local bookmark branches are really only local and won’t be available in the target repository. And we have a corresponding feature in log to only show bookmarked changesets. Moreover, the bookmark you’re on is now tracked, so now the behaviour is more like the git local branches one.

Especially the push enhancement is important as you now don’t have to strip all bookmark-branches before pushing. So now we only need a means, to propagate bookmarks between repositories :-).

Update: Was backed out again :(.
