We are happy to announce that we will be holding a Mercurial sprint in London, UK from May 27th to 29th 2026.

Mercurial 7.2 released
- 29 January 2026
This new major version has been delayed for a good while. We are reworking so much of the internals these days that it felt prudent to delay the final release as much as needed and roll out nightly versions to (consenting) users until we felt comfortable enough about the stability of the release.
