We pushed a new release for the evolve extension: 9.0.0

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

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

This version drops support for Mercurial version 4.4 and introduces a significant behavior change.

The hg evolve command now uses the --all and --no-update flag by default. Starting from this version hg evolve will try to stabilize all changesets related to the current working copy parent (eg: your stack if you use topic), but will remain on the current changesets (or its successors if applicable). To perform iterative evolution use the hg next command or the --no-all or --rev flags.

It also comes with a variety of improvements and bug fixes. Check the full changelog below for details. Thanks to all the people involved:
