We pushed a new release of evolve and topic: 7.2.0.

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

This version comes with the usual various bug fixes and improvement. It also includes a large rework of the experimental obsolescence markers discovery protocol we call "obshashrange". The newer protocol is faster to compute and cache. It was able to handle all the repositories it has been tested on (up to around 1 millions revisions). The experimental is still turned off by default, use experimental.obshashrange=yes to use it.

New algorithm for obshashrange discovery:

The new algorithm is faster, simpler to cache and with better complexity. It is able to handle repository of any size (naive python implementation is a bit slow). Support for the previous experimental approach has been dropped, please update both clients and servers. This new discovery method is disabled by default. Use experimental.obshashrang=yes on both client and server.
