Greeting!

We are pleased to announce that the installer for TortoiseHg 0.6 is
now available for download on SourceForge:

    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=199155

Here are some highlight of this release:
- updated to Mercurial 1.1.2
- many improvements to the GUI toolset, plus a new init dialog.
- new 'init' command for hgtk

Please checkout TortoiseHg's release note for the list of changes in this
release:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.  You must uninstall the previous version of TortoiseHg before
    upgrading to 0.6. The installer will _refuse_ to install if it
    detects any version of TortoiseHg has been installed.

    We apologize for the inconviences, but this is necessary to
    ensure a clean installation, especially if you are upgrading
    from TortoiseHg 0.4.x or earlier versions.

2.  The GUI tools in TortoiseHg 0.6, including hgtk, have been
    updated to work exclusively with Merecurial 1.1.X, and will not
    work with older (pre 1.1), and perhaps even the later, releases
    of Mercurial.

As usual, non-Windows users of TortoiseHg can pull from the main repository
to get the latest release of hgtk and the dialogs:

Thank you.
