Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Remove an obsolete link in the solaris section of the documentation (mplayer should work out of the box with the included mpdvdkit2 on solaris). Mention the patches that should be installed to fix one of the two bugs that prevent the use of DVDs >4GB on solaris 8.
