        - 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.
