[ANN] TortoiseHg 2.1.1 released

[Steve Borho]

TortoiseHg 2.1.1 is a bug-fix release that resolves most of the
problems that were found in 2.1. All users with 2.1 are recommended
to upgrade.

http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/download/index.html

Note: the 2.1.1 Windows installers are bundled with Mercurial 1.9+10
(ten commits past 1.9 on the stable branch)

Remaining known issues that might convince you to stay on thg-2.0.5 && hg-1.8.4:

Committing a repository on a network drive will fail with "file is in
use" errors. This appears to be a side effect of QFileSystemWatcher
interacting with CIFS. Work-around is to use "hg commit" from the
command prompt.

Araxis Merge cannot be launched from the Workbench if the Workbench
was not launched from a command prompt. Other tools seem to work
(kdiff3, Beyond Compare, etc). Work-around is to launch "thg.exe"
from a cmd.exe command prompt window rather than using the explorer
context menu or start menu.

So if you regularly commit repositories on network shares, or use
Araxis Merge, you may want to wait for 2.1.2 (August 1st)

I fail to repro that here (Windows 7 x64 client committing to share
served by Samba).
