I pushed a new release for the evolve extension: **9.0.0**

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:

## Evolve: 9.0.0

### Behavior changes

* evolve: preserve the working directory after resolving instability
   (use `hg next` or `hg evolve --update` to get the old behavior)

* evolve: evolve all relevant revision by default
   (use `hg next` or `--no-all` to evolve only one)

* obsdiscovery: drop support for the deprecated `obshashtree` discovery
   protocol.

   Make sure your servers are configured to use the obshashrange one.
   It is available in evolve 7.2 and above. If you are just migrating
   now, check the obshashrange documentation at:

### Compatibility

* evolve: drop compatibility with 4.4
* evolve: fix compatibility with narrow repositories

### Improvements:

* evolve: use "unstable" instead of "troubled" in some output
* evolve: run multiple stabilization in the same transaction

* evolve: reduce the verbosity of `content-divergence` resolution
* documentation: various improvement and vocabulary update
* packaging: fix documentation build step on Debian

## Topic 0.15.0

* stack: handle hash sizes when --debug flag is provided
* stack: remove 'topic.' prefix from colors/labels (BC)

* topic: drop the b# alias. It conflicted with normal hashes.
