This has one drawback, we're unable to upload a new TortoiseHg package if it only includes new Mercurial changesets since the filename will not change. Bitbucket's file service does not allow you to reliably upload a new file with the same name. You can upload a new file, but users will usually D/L the old one. But I agree it makes sense for the package name to correspond to the version number that ends up in 'Add/Remove Programs' and the start menu. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
