Mercurial 1.0 is out

The Mercurial project has just released its version 1.0!

Congratulations to the team behind this project for bringing what I personally consider as the very best distributed source configuration management tool to date (yes, I have already played with Bazaar and Git)

Mercurial is (much like Bazaar) written in Python. It is cross-platform, extremely efficient, extensible with plugins and last but not least, Mercurial is such a stupid tool to use! The interface and general workflow are no-brainers if you have already played with SCM before. You'll get started in just a few minutes with it. I know that lots of geeks prefer playing with Git... but how can anyone understand the Git interface?

If you are currently considering a distributed SCM model, then I strongly suggest that you look at it, just like Mozilla and Sun did. Oh and if you happen to work with Windows boxes, there is still TortoiseHG for a seamless integration with the Windows explorer!
