In general it does not take thg up to version x.x.3 to catch up to a
new mercurial version. In theory each x.x.0 release is fully
compatible with the corresponding mercurial release.

That being said one of the recent thg verions (I believe 2.4) took
longer tha usual to catch up to the corresponding mercurial release.
But that should be the exception, not the rule.
