https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ does not have an entry for
mercurial-4.6 final.

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/WhatsNew does not have an entry for
mercurial-4.6 final.

The tarball I downloaded from https://www.mercurial-scm.org/release/
for mercurial-4.6 has no changelog or news files either.

Did you change web sites but leave the old one up without a redirect?
I tried with and without javascript just to be sure, but the results
were essentially the same.

Are the changes made between 4.5.3 and 4.6 a secret that requires
signing an NDA or something?

Was version 4.6 pulled or held back for some reason?

Like many others I suspect, I don't want to upgrade if it's so bad it
isn't even mentioned on the web site changelogs.  But I do want to
know when a `good' release will occur.

Are we supposed to wait for a 4.6.1 or something that will be worthy
of listing on the web site pages and which will have whatever the
critical bug(s) is(are) fixed?

First you stopped announcing and said releases are time-based.  Then
some months are skipped without explanation.  Now you have a stealth
release with no changelog.  Are you just trying to drive us all away
to the competition or what?
