New Evolve extension release: version 10.3.0

2021-03-12

We released a new version of the evolve extension: 10.3.0.

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 is a feature release that comes with a variety of improvements and bugfixes. Check the changelog for details. The most notable changes are: improved rewind logic in cases involving folds, an experimental ability to perform evolution in-memory (only on Mercurial 5.6 and newer), improved content-divergence resolution logic in cases involving parent changes.

More details on in-memory evolve can be found in hg help -e evolve.
