This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
11
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
12
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
13
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
14
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
15
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
16
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
17
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
18
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
19
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
20
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
21
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
