Thank you for developing TortoiseHg. It has made Mercurial my favorite
version control system.
I noticed that TortoiseHg uses old versions of several of its components:
* Python 2.7.6 - latest version is 2.7.8 (some security
vulnerabilities were fixed in 2.7.7 and 2.7.8, including (I think)
Heartbleed in OpenSSL)
* PyQt 4.10.3 - latest version is 4.11.2 (see below regarding PyQt5)
* KDiff3 0.9.96a - latest version is 0.9.98 (0.9.96a is an alpha
version that appears to be over 3 years old)
and was wondering if these could be updated.
As a Python programmer myself, I think it would also be nice if
TortoiseHg used the Qt5 version of PyQt4. According to the Qt
documentation, "Qt 5 is highly compatible with Qt 4. It is possible for
developers of Qt 4 applications to seamlessly move on to Qt 5 with their
current functionality and gradually develop new things leveraging all
the great items Qt 5 makes possible." If there would be any issues with
upgrading to Qt 5, I might be able to help.
(I'm also aware of Python 3 and PyQt5, but they're not so simple to
switch to and I don't think there's a need to do so yet.)
Thank you.
