This is an out of cycle release to address three security issues.

CVE-2016-3630 Mercurial: remote code execution in binary delta decoding

 Mercurial prior to 3.7.3 contained two bounds-checking errors in its
 binary delta decoder that may be exploitable via clone, push, or pull.

CVE-2016-3068 Mercurial: arbitrary code execution with Git subrepos

 Mercurial prior to 3.7.3 allowed URLs for Git subrepos that could
 result in arbitrary code execution on clone. This is a further
 side-effect of Git CVE-2015-7545. Reported by Blake Burkhart.

CVE-2016-3069 Mercurial: arbitrary code execution when converting Git repos

 Mercurial prior to 3.7.3 allowed arbitrary code execution when
 converting Git repos with hostile names. This could affect automated
 conversion services. Reported by Blake Burkhart.
