How do you get the latest version of TortoiseHg on Windows, I don't see a 'Check for updates' link on the context menu.
The About TortoiseHg option on the context menu will bring up a window telling you if there is a new version available.
You could always check on the website too.

I have the 4.0.3 Octave version on my machine.
and I would like to upgrade my version using windows.
Can someone tell me please the steps to follow?
Thanks.
If you want to remove v4.0.3, the complete answer will depend on how you installed that version in the first place.
If you used an executable installer, then there should be an 'uninstall' option available. On Windows 10, you can sometimes right click on the shortcut in the startmenu and an Uninstall option will appear. Otherwise you can follow the directions at this link to navigate through the Settings to the Apps & Features window, which lists everything installed and will provide an Uninstall option.
If you used a zip package to 'install' Octave 4.0.3 just by unzipping it to a folder on your hard drive, then no uninstall process is necessary. you can just delete the folder and shortcuts manually.
You can have multiple octave versions installed next to each other, the folders will have version numbers to prevent them from overwriting themselves.
To install the latest version (5.1.0 as of this answer, although 5.2.0 will be released very soon):
You can find the installation files for Windows by going to the Octave download page and clicking 'Windows'. There will be several file options there. Most people choose the first one (octave-5.1.0-w64-installer.exe) for 64bit systems. You can just download that or one of the other .exe versions, execute that program, and follow the prompts. If for some reason you would rather download a zip package and do a manual setup, I suggest you follow the instructions at the Octave for Microsoft Windows Wiki page to make sure everything is configured correctly.
In the following project:
https://readthedocs.org/projects/django-guardian/versions/
Version 1.4.1 isn't showing up. Yet version 1.4.1 is tagged in github, and I have made pushes after this change.
https://github.com/django-guardian/django-guardian/releases
How do I get v1.4.1 to show up? I don't see it in the administration version options either.
(v1.4.0 doesn't show up either, however that is because I manually disabled this revision; there was an error that prevented readthedocs building this version due to a missing dependency)
That's strange 1.4.1 should be available by clicking on latest link from Django-gourdian versions page, maybe that's documentation page haven't updated yet from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1.
Anyway, you could click on latest link from Django-gourdian versions page to access documentation for Version: 1.4.0, anyway that's quite closer to latest version...
Update
After triggering builds on latest and stable. stable and latest point to Version: 1.4.1 of documentation as supposed to.
After installing TortoiseHg 2.2 with Mercurial 2.0 on Windows 7, I see the following problem:
For any new repository, created as per TortoiseHg v2.1.0 documentation, I see that the taskbar icon is always turn green and the directory icons of the new repository is always showing a question mark.
For existing repositories the directory icons are as expected.
Is this a bug in TortoiseHg 2.2?
Update:
This is a bug in TortoiseHg 2.2. Please visit https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/1397/overlay-icon-server-hangs-folder-overlays.
#bhadra, could you try the "Update Icons" item under the TortoiseHg context menu and see if that fixes the problem?
I'm running tortoisehg 2.1.3 (and now 2.1.4) on a win7 x86 system upgraded from 2.1.2. When I click on the context menus (e.g. workbench) nothing happens.
I enabled shell debugging: [HKCU]\Software\TortoiseHg\ value DebugShellExt="1"
Which yielded: [THGx86] RunDialog: THG root is empty in DbgView.
I've manually checked that \Software\TortoiseHg\ default is "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg" for both [HKCU] and [HKLM]. Though I'm having some problems where installing TortoiseHg seems to make these registry keys empty and unreadable and I have to manually change ownership on them to even delete them.
Anyone else having problems with these context menus in this version of TortoiseHg on windows? Anyone know if something has changed in the installer? Anyone know of something that could cause these registry keys to become inaccessible even to the application that created them?
It looks like the issues are resolved in more recent versions of TortoiseHG (2.2.1 and later). So, I'm marking this question answered.
I installed TortoiseHg (Mercurial) in my Vista 64-bit and the context menu is not showing up when I right click a file or folder.
Is there any workaround for this problem?
Update: TortoiseHg 0.8 (released 2009-07-01) now includes both 32 and 64 bit shell extensions in the installer, and also works with Windows 7. The workaround described below is no longer necessary.
A workaround to getting the context menus in Windows Explorer is buried in the TortoiseHg development mailing list archives. One of the posts provides this very handy tip on how to run 32-bit Explorer on 64-bit Windows:
TortoiseHG context menus will show up if you run 32-bit windows explorer; create a shortcut with this (or use Start > Run):
%Systemroot%\SysWOW64\explorer.exe /separate
(Source: http://www.mail-archive.com/tortoisehg-develop#lists.sourceforge.net/msg01055.html)
It works fairly well and is minimally invasive, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to make the icon overlays appear. I don't know of any workaround for that, but file status can still be viewed through TortoiseHg menu commands at least. All other TortoiseHg functionality seems intact.
The icon overlays are now working with TortoiseHg 0.6 in 32-bit explorer! Not sure if this is a new fix or if I had some misconfiguration in 0.5; regardless this means TortoiseHg is fully functional in 64-bit Windows.
In order to be able to use an extension in Explorer, the "bitness" of the extension needs to match the bitness of the operating system. This is because (at least under Windows) you can't load a 32-bit DLL into a 64-bit process -- or vice versa. If there's no 64-bit version of HgTortoise, then you can't use it with Explorer on a 64-bit Windows OS.
I upgraded to Windows 7 RC and the 64bit workaround seems to have stopped working
You could always install the command line hg and use it in a pinch. It's a bit faster, too.
I can verify that xplorer2 does show the HG tortoise context menu in 64bit Vista.
As detailed in the TortoiseHg FAQ, you need to run a 32-bit Windows Explorer instance for the context menu and overlays to work under 64-bit Vista.
My personal preference is to create a shortcut similar to the following for each project I'm actively using with TortoiseHg:
%windir%\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate /root,C:\projects\frobnicator
This launches explorer with the C:\projects\frobnicator folder already opened. (You can omit the /root option and just use the same shortcut for all projects if you don't mind clicking your way to the target folder every time you launch it.)
According to the TortoiseHg FAQ the context menus will work in 64-bit Vista if you start a 32-bit instance of explorer by creating a shortcut with the following settings (as suggested in the answer above):
Target: %windir%\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
Start In: %windir%\syswow64\
I've just noticed that the context menu and icons work from a file open dialog from some apps (on Vista). I now just use Notepad++'s file open dialog, since I use Notepad++ all the time.
It seems to have to be the simple open dialog, not the new one Notepad has, for example.
Maybe someone can check if this trick works in Windows 7.
