While Chrome, Firefox, and IE 6+ support the current date format being
passed to Date(), Safari doesn't:
> new Date('Mon Oct 24 13:58:01 2011 +0200')
Invalid Date
However, the rfc822date format--officially supported by
ECMAScript[1]--does work:
> new Date('Mon, 24 Oct 2011 13:58:01 +0200')
Mon Oct 24 2011 04:58:01 GMT-0700 (PDT)
This change replaces all instances of {date|date} in HTML with
{date|rfc822date}. For elements that only have the "age" class,
there's no outward change for users with JavaScript enabled. For
elements with both the "age" and "date" classes, the full date
displayed uses the new format.
Tested in IE 6, Safari 5.1.1, Google Chrome 15, and Firefox 7.0.1.

All the templates have been updated.
Clicking on the logo image/text in the hgweb interface brings the
user to the Mercurial project page. The majority of users expect that
this would bring them to the top level index. I have added a new template
variable named `logourl' which allows an administrator to change this
behavior. To stay compatible with existing behavior, `logourl' will
default to http://mercurial.selenic.com/. This change is very useful in
large installations where jumping to the index is common.
This patch changes column headers in the templates that previously
said `Last change' to `Last modified'. Neither code nor functionality
are changed other than that.
For some time now, I have been annoyed by the fact the `Last change'
column didn't list the age of the youngest changeset in the
repository, or at least tip. It just occurred to me that this is
because the wording is slightly misleading; what the column in fact
lists is when the repository was last *modified*, that is, when
changesets was last added or removed from it.
The word `change' can be understood as referring to the changeset
itself. Using `changed' would be ever so slightly less
amigous. However, the standard nomenclature in this case is
`modification date' and `Last modified', which is incidentally entirely
unambigous. Hence, `Last modified' is the wording used.
Remove the `install_package_data' subclass of `install_data' and use
the `package_data' functionality provided by distutils instead. As
package data must be located within the package directory, the data
files are now generated in the build directory.
To simplify the functionality of this change, the top-level `doc' and
`templates' directories have been moved into the `mercurial' package
directory.
