Heptapod 0.18.0 released

[Georges Racinet]

Dear all,

Heptapod 0.18.0 got released today.

Apart that we stay on supported GitLab versions, the main highlights for
the Mercurial mailing-lists are that:

- it comes with Mercurial 5.6.1

- it can optionally run the Rust code. The Docker image actually comes
with a Mercurial built with Rust, but HGMODULEPOLICY is set to "c" by
default in all processes. That can be changed with a single setting.

- foss.heptapod.net is running with the Rust code enabled.

All the details are available in the release notes [2] or, sparing you
an indirection, [3] for the Rust options.

Also, of special interest to Mercurial core developers will be that the
Mercurial clone onto which Heptapod CI jobs are attached [1] is now
updated automatically from `hg-committed`, hence providing more
immediate feedback. For now, it's a time-based system, but we are close
to the point where we can have a hook on mercurial-scm.org trigger it as
soon as something lands.

Augie (speaking to you with your infra hat on): what has to be done is
just an HTTP request with the proper token. I'm currently doing it with
`curl`, but that means registering a new secret. Perhaps we can nail
this in January, after my vacation time?

I wish you all a nice holiday season, take care, and see you in 2021!
