Does SmartGit support working with Mercurial repositories?

The question is pretty much in the title. Does SmartGit supports working with Mercurial repos?

I've downloaded the evaluation version, but from what I can see it only supports opening git repos, which is contrary to one of the main statements they make on their frontpage:

SmartGit is an easy-to-use graphical user interface for Git, Mercurial and Subversion with optimized work-flows. SmartGit supports all Git and Mercurial features needed for every-day work in software development projects ...

Can anyone using SmartGit or familiar with it clarify on this? I really like the client.

Also note that in SmartGitHg 4, the Mercurial option will not appear (e.g. during cloning) if you haven't entered the path to your Mercurial executable in the Preferences: Edit -> Preferences -> Commands -> Executables -> Hg Executable

Rough version list (what I could find on random notes around the 'net):
SmartGit 7.1 should support Hg 3.6.x.
SmartGit 7.2 should support Hg 3.7.x and 3.8.x. (official changelog)
SmartGit 8.1 should support Hg 3.9.x. (EAP release notes as in Nov 2016, URL will probably soon change)

Yes, SmartGit supports Mercurial repositories: just use Repository|Add or Create and enter the path of your local Mercurial repository there. In the same way you can clone a remote Mercurial repository, using Repository|Clone.
