The New Features in Kiln 2.0
New Search Interface
Search your changeset messages, authors, filenames, and code with a brand new unified search interface
Clone Large Repositories Fast with KBFiles
Easily handle large files in your repositories through a cross-platform Mercurial extension based on bfiles, fully integrated into the command-line client and Kiln itself.
Strip Changesets from the Web Interface
Strip changesets from central repositories directly from Kiln. This comes in handy if, say, you misspelled a commit message, accidentally pushed it to Kiln and now want to change it; or if you accidentally added a file that contained patented code, personal information, or other bad things.
Repository Aliases
Choose special repository URLs (think “QA”, “Production”) that can be switched among any existing repositories without renaming the repositories.
Simplified Code Reviews
Kiln 2.0 sports a much simplified review creation process and the ability to easily add any changeset to an existing review.
Tag Changesets Directly from the Web Interface
In Kiln 2.0 you can now add tags to your changesets directly through the web interface,
The Electric DAG
A new graph view feature we’re calling the “Electric DAG.” Click on any changeset in a repository’s graph view and the graph will automatically highlight all ancestor and descendent changesets, letting you easily spot which changes are in which tag and more.
Updated Activity Feed
An updated activity feed interface makes it even easier to figure out who’s committed what and when.
Full JSON API
Kiln’s JSON API provides read/write operations to some basic Kiln objects: projects, repository groups, repositories, reviews, and people permissions.
Improved FogBugz Integration
Drastically improved FogBugz integration for understanding “where are the changesets for this bug fix?” via a new “View Checkins” popup from FogBugz.
Repository Path Guessing
Path guessing relieves the constant pain of either adding a bunch of paths to your hgrc file or copying URLs back and forth all day long. The incoming, outgoing, pull, and push Mercurial commands are supported for this extension.
