We released a new version of the evolve extension: 11.1.0.
As usual, the release is available on PyPI, and upgrade is recommended.
This is a feature release. The most notable change is: the next step in
implementing topic namespaces, a feature designed to help users organize
their topics and at the same time separate their work during
development. For more technical context see
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/TopicPlan#sub_branches.2C_namespacing_and_representation.
UI work is still underway, but we plan the next feature release to
contain a lot of improvements in this area. Other notable changes in
this release: `hg pick` command will now update commit hashes in
descriptions if they refer to now-obsolete commits, certain commit
extras are now preserved on relocating a commit (and there is a
mechanism to modify the list of extras to preserve), evolve.serveronly
and serverminitopic extensions were removed (after being deprecated in
the previous feature release); evolve and topic extensions replace these
extensions for both clients and servers. Also compatibility with
Mercurial 4.8 (which was released in 2018, and is the latest available
in Debian Buster) was dropped.

## Topic 1.1.0
* remove deprecated serverminitopic extension, topic extension is
recommended for all users, clients and servers
* topic namespaces: add `experimental.tns-allow-rewrite` config
option to check topic namespace before rewriting changesets (known
limitations: does not prevent rebase and histedit from editing
changesets outside of configured topic namespaces on Mercurial 5.2 and
older)
* topic namespaces: add `experimental.tns-default-pull-namespaces`
config option to pull only certain changesets by default
* topic namespaces: teach `hg import` and `hg export` to handle topic
namespaces
* topic namespaces: invalidate topic namespace cache in
repo.invalidatecaches()
* topic: only set topic on workingcommitctx if it doesn't already
have one, making `hg import` always prioritize patch metadata
* topic: properly process revbranchcache before sending it to peers
(issue6841)
