Use 2.16.4 stable version unless you are ready to tolerate
crashes, possibly losing unsaved data etc. You have been
warned.

This is a beta release of the current state of the 
mercurial source in default branch. These releases are 
considered ready for final release, but we just want to give 
developers and translators one last chance to fix any issues 
before the final release. We appreciate any
help testing the current code.
