Use 2.16.8 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.
