To learn more, see:

Added support for Python 3.12 and Django 4.2.
Added support for evolving table comments on Django 4.2.

This is done through ChangeMeta.
Added advanced management commands for working with project signatures and marking evolutions as applied.

mark-evolution-applied will mark one or more evolutions as applied to your database, without modifying any schema.

evolution-project-sig will let you list project signatures, show a stored project signature, or delete project signatures.

These are advanced and dangerous commands. They should only be run if you know what you’re doing, as part of diagnosing and fixing a failed database upgrade.
Added debug logging for the evolution process.

If Python’s logging is set up to enable debug output, then the evolution process will provide information on the new models generation, mutations, and evolutions begin run. This can aid in debugging efforts.
