[ANN] TortoiseHg 3.4 - important note about svn integration

[Steve Borho]

All,

TortoiseHg 3.4 has been tagged and binary installers are now available
for download.  TortoiseHg releases are roughly synchronized with
Mercurial's releases (including version numbers these days) and releases
happen once a month so this is not particularly news-worthy except that
there have been major changes in the binary packages for this release.

The subversion libraries and their Python 2.7 SWIG bindings are no
longer included in the TortoiseHg Windows installers.  They were removed
for both security reasons and to simplify installer maintenance going
forward.

If you need TortoiseHg (or the command line hg) to interact with
subversion repositories, then you must download and setup the subversion
bindings manually, after upgrading to TortoiseHg 3.4. For details see

In addition to the subversion removal, most of the remaining DLLs
packaged with TortoiseHg have been moved into a bin/ subfolder, removing
them from the root install folder which is added to the system PATH,
making it much less likely for TortoiseHg's DLLs to interfere with other
applications.

Note that hgsubversion, hg-git, and dulwich are still packaged with
TortoiseHg, since they are just Python code and thus not potentially
harmful to other Windows applications.
