I appreciate better support of bugzilla. I'm still on the lookout for an automated code review package. I want what Google uses but that code hasn't escaped the 'plex yet as far as I can tell (also it was pretty heavily in bed with perforce which is another pain point I don't need).

Source code repo, bug/defect tracking, code-review / auditing, and real time testing. Makes life so much more productive than the 'old' days.

Review Board [1] is a pretty good code review tool, but my experience is only with Subversion integration.

I'm not quite sure what kind of integration with Mercurial you are looking for, but the Mercurial wiki contains one such extension [2].

It's impressive that they always manage to release on the 1st of a month.

The great thing about this is that it makes shipping less dramatical. If your code misses this month's release, just wait another 30 days. Also, when you're doing these incremental releases, you don't risk shipping major releases that might be buggy or not appeal your customers.

For most code (at least the interesting one), it's not 30 days, but 4 months. The monthly release is only for the stable branch.

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/TimeBasedReleasePlan

Personally i find it great (and we try to do the coding sprint one/two months before the next release, so the big features have some time to be stabilized).

I'd like to hack on the mercurial codebase. Is there a git repo somewhere that I can clone?
