  • Ticket #10411 – Description

    initial v6  
    33After recent releases of Mercurial such as 1.8 and 1.9, TracMercurial plugin did not work properly until several patches were delivered, mainly due to Mercurial's internal API changes.

    12 I think this approach will significantly reduce the efforts for adapting to a new version of Mercurial, and make Trac users to escape from hazzle of upgrading.
