We pushed a new bugfix release for the Mercurial's evolve extension: 8.1.2

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

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

This release fixes concurrency robustness issues around the sqlite based storage used by the experimental version of the obshashrange discovery caches.

With now more experience of running python sqlite in very concurrent situation, it does not seems to handle the job too well. Since it is only used for cache, the problematic case can be silently ignored when they occur.

Thanks to the people who have been actively testing the obshashrange discovery. This help detect these situations.

In addition, this release invalidate previous versions of the final cache layer that was affected by issues fixed in 8.1.1. This will ensure everybody has a valid cache content without requiring manual intervention (beside the update). This cache will be recomputed once (and is not the slowest to compute).
