Ignore the one I sent 12 hours ago: it was still DSA though with more bits. I just sent new RSA 4096 bits, and rechecked that *is* RSA.
This manual key management is yet another reason why we are going to get a new development process /somehow/ in 2016.
After thinking about it, I realized that auto accepting any key sent by just anyone is not a good idea either. To you, my email address is my id.
Fortunately, next release is at least 2 weeks off.

My new one got installed about 11 hours ago, so someone is watching sometimes ;-) Alas, SSH-related error messages are atrocious. Two things to check on your end: 1. Make sure Pageant has loaded your new key.
It had, and said DSA...
2. Make sure your `ssh` alias (probably set in your Mecurial.ini) also specifies your new key file.
For #2, here's what's in my Merurial.ini now: ssh = "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\lib\TortoisePlink.exe" -ssh -2 -C -i C:\Code\.ssh\newkey.ppk
Since I overwrote the old key file, the hg setting should be the same.
