We pushed a new release for the Mercurial's evolve extension: 8.0.0

This extension extends core features around history rewriting and draft changesets sharing.

As usual, the release is available on pypi and upgrade is recommended.

The release drops support for Mercurial 4.1 and 4.2 and adds support for Mercurial 4.6 to be released in a couple of days. Support for some deprecated flag or template has been dropped too.
