New Evolve extension release: version 8.5.0

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

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

This version brings a variety of improvements and bug fixes. Notably, evolve now support smooth automatic resolution of a wider range of divergence instabilities.
