Changes in BitBake 1.8.x:
+ - Add bb.utils.prune_suffix function
+ - Fix hg checkouts of specific revisions (from Poky)
+ - Fix wget fetching of urls with parameters specified (from Poky)
+ - Add username handling to git fetcher (from Poky)
+ - Set HOME environmental variable when running fetcher commands (from Poky)
+ - Make sure allowed variables inherited from the environment are exported again (from Poky)
+ - When running a stage task in bbshell, run populate_staging, not the stage task (from Poky)
+ - Fix + character escaping from PACKAGES_DYNAMIC (thanks Otavio Salvador)
+
+Changes in BitBake 1.8.12:
+ - Fix -f (force) in conjunction with -b
+ - Fix exit code for build failures in --continue mode
+ - Fix git branch tags fetching
+ - Change parseConfigurationFile so it works on real data, not a copy
+ - Handle 'base' inherit and all other INHERITs from parseConfigurationFile
+ instead of BBHandler
+ - Fix getVarFlags bug in data_smart
+ - Optmise cache handling by more quickly detecting an invalid cache, only
+ saving the cache when its changed, moving the cache validity check into
+ the parsing loop and factoring some getVar calls outside a for loop
+ - Cooker: Remove a debug message from the parsing loop to lower overhead
+ - Convert build.py exec_task to use getVarFlags
+ - Update shell to use cooker.buildFile
+ - Add StampUpdate event
+ - Convert -b option to use taskdata/runqueue
+ - Remove digraph and switch to new stamp checking code. exec_task no longer
+ honours dependencies
+ - Make fetcher timestamp updating non-fatal when permissions don't allow
+ updates
+ - Add BB_SCHEDULER variable/option ("completion" or "speed") controlling
+ the way bitbake schedules tasks
+ - Add BB_STAMP_POLICY variable/option ("perfile" or "full") controlling
+ how extensively stamps are looked at for validity
+ - When handling build target failures make sure idepends are checked and
+ failed where needed. Fixes --continue mode crashes.
+ - Fix problems with recrdeptask handling where some idepends weren't handled
+ correctly.
+ - Work around refs/HEAD issues with git over http (#3410)
+ - Add proxy support to the CVS fetcher (from Cyril Chemparathy)
+ - Improve runfetchcmd so errors are seen and various GIT variables are exported
+ - Add ability to fetchers to check URL validity without downloading
+ - Improve runtime PREFERRED_PROVIDERS warning message
+ - Add BB_STAMP_WHITELIST option which contains a list of stamps to ignore when
+ checking stamp dependencies and using a BB_STAMP_POLICY of "whitelist"
+ - No longer weight providers on the basis of a package being "already staged". This
+ leads to builds being non-deterministic.
+ - Flush stdout/stderr before forking to fix duplicate console output
+ - Make sure recrdeps tasks include all inter-task dependencies of a given fn
+ - Add bb.runqueue.check_stamp_fn() for use by packaged-staging
+ - Add PERSISTENT_DIR to store the PersistData in a persistent
+ directory != the cache dir.
+ - Add md5 and sha256 checksum generation functions to utils.py
+ - Make sure Build Completed events are generated even when tasks fail
+ - Correctly handle '-' characters in class names (#2958)
+ - Make sure expandKeys has been called on the data dictonary before running tasks
+ - Correctly add a task override in the form task-TASKNAME.
+ - Revert the '-' character fix in class names since it breaks things
+ - When a regexp fails to compile for PACKAGES_DYNAMIC, print a more useful error (#4444)
+ - Allow to checkout CVS by Date and Time. Just add HHmm to the SRCDATE.
+ - Move prunedir function to utils.py and add explode_dep_versions function
+ - Raise an exception if SRCREV == 'INVALID'
+ - Fix hg fetcher username/password handling and fix crash
+ - Fix PACKAGES_DYNAMIC handling of packages with '++' in the name
+ - Rename __depends to __base_depends after configuration parsing so we don't
+ recheck the validity of the config files time after time
+ - Add better environmental variable handling. By default it will now only pass certain
+ whitelisted variables into the data store. If BB_PRESERVE_ENV is set bitbake will use
+ all variable from the environment. If BB_ENV_WHITELIST is set, that whitelist will be
+ used instead of the internal bitbake one. Alternatively, BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE can be used
+ to extend the internal whitelist.
+ - Perforce fetcher fix to use commandline options instead of being overriden by the environment
+ - use @rev when doing a svn checkout
+ - Add osc fetcher (from Joshua Lock in Poky)
+ - When SRCREV autorevisioning for a recipe is in use, don't cache the recipe
+ - Add tryaltconfigs option to control whether bitbake trys using alternative providers
+ to fulfil failed dependencies. It defaults to off, changing the default since this
+ behaviour confuses many users and isn't often useful.
+ - Improve lock file function error handling
+ - Add username handling to the git fetcher (Robert Bragg)
+ - Add support for HTTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY_IGNORE variables to the wget fetcher
+ - Export more variables to the fetcher commands to allow ssh checkouts and checkouts through
+ proxies to work better. (from Poky)
+ - Also allow user and pswd options in SRC_URIs globally (from Poky)
+ - Improve proxy handling when using mirrors (from Poky)
+ - Addition of BBCLASSEXTEND support for allowing one recipe to provide multiple targets (from Poky)
+
+Changes in BitBake 1.8.10:
+ - Psyco is available only for x86 - do not use it on other architectures.
+ - Fix a bug in bb.decodeurl where http://some.where.com/somefile.tgz decoded to host="" (#1530)
+ - Warn about malformed PREFERRED_PROVIDERS (#1072)
+ - Add support for BB_NICE_LEVEL option (#1627)
+ - Sort initial providers list by default preference (#1145, #2024)
+ - Improve provider sorting so prefered versions have preference over latest versions (#768)
+ - Detect builds of tasks with overlapping providers and warn (will become a fatal error) (#1359)
+ - Add MULTI_PROVIDER_WHITELIST variable to allow known safe multiple providers to be listed
+ - Handle paths in svn fetcher module parameter
+ - Support the syntax "export VARIABLE"
+ - Add bzr fetcher
+ - Add support for cleaning directories before a task in the form:
+ do_taskname[cleandirs] = "dir"
+ - bzr fetcher tweaks from Robert Schuster (#2913)
+ - Add mercurial (hg) fetcher from Robert Schuster (#2913)
+ - Fix bogus preferred_version return values
+ - Fix 'depends' flag splitting
+ - Fix unexport handling (#3135)
+ - Add bb.copyfile function similar to bb.movefile (and improve movefile error reporting)
+ - Allow multiple options for deptask flag
+ - Use git-fetch instead of git-pull removing any need for merges when
+ fetching (we don't care about the index). Fixes fetch errors.
+ - Add BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS option, set to 0 to make git fetches
+ faster at the expense of not creating mirror tarballs.
+ - SRCREV handling updates, improvements and fixes from Poky
+ - Add bb.utils.lockfile() and bb.utils.unlockfile() from Poky
+ - Add support for task selfstamp and lockfiles flags
+ - Disable task number acceleration since it can allow the tasks to run
+ out of sequence
+ - Improve runqueue code comments
+ - Add task scheduler abstraction and some example schedulers
+ - Improve circular dependency chain debugging code and user feedback
+ - Don't give a stacktrace for invalid tasks, have a user friendly message (#3431)
+ - Add support for "-e target" (#3432)
+ - Fix shell showdata command (#3259)
+ - Fix shell data updating problems (#1880)
+ - Properly raise errors for invalid source URI protocols
+ - Change the wget fetcher failure handling to avoid lockfile problems
+ - Add git branch support
+ - Add support for branches in git fetcher (Otavio Salvador, Michael Lauer)
+ - Make taskdata and runqueue errors more user friendly
+ - Add norecurse and fullpath options to cvs fetcher
+ - bb.utils.prunedir can cope with symlinks to directories without exceptions
