From the 2.6.x series, 2.6.3 is out: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WhatsNew#Mercurial_2.6.3_.282013-07-01.29

Else, 2.7 is also out: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WhatsNew#Mercurial_2.7_.282013-08-01.29

2.6.2 and 2.6.3 didn't look like they offered anything interesting relevant to how we use it.

And I wasn't comfortable with using a .0 release, even though 2.7 does look like it has some nice fixes.

I agree with you on not using a .0 release. However, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 contain some bug fixes and are low risk. I vote for going with 2.6.3. If this release drags on for a few more weeks, we should evaluate 2.7.x for regressions, new releases, etc.

I'm hoping to release this week if possible. I don't feel that strongly about a later 2.6 version, so I'll use that if others do.

FWIW, I'm shooting for roughly a quarterly update cycle going forward, so we shouldn't ever be lagging too horribly.
