+Changes in BitBake 1.8.x:
+ - 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
+
+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
+
+Changes in Bitbake 1.8.8:
+ - Rewrite svn fetcher to make adding extra operations easier
+ as part of future SRCDATE="now" fixes
+ (requires new FETCHCMD_svn definition in bitbake.conf)
+ - Change SVNDIR layout to be more unique (fixes #2644 and #2624)
+ - Import persistent data store from trunk
+ - Sync fetcher code with that in trunk, adding SRCREV support for svn
+ - Add ConfigParsed Event after configuration parsing is complete
+ - data.emit_var() - only call getVar if we need the variable
+ - Stop generating the A variable (seems to be legacy code)
+ - Make sure intertask depends get processed correcting in recursive depends
+ - Add pn-PN to overrides when evaluating PREFERRED_VERSION
+ - Improve the progress indicator by skipping tasks that have
+ already run before starting the build rather than during it
+ - Add profiling option (-P)
+ - Add BB_SRCREV_POLICY variable (clear or cache) to control SRCREV cache
+ - Add SRCREV_FORMAT support
+ - Fix local fetcher's localpath return values
+ - Apply OVERRIDES before performing immediate expansions
+ - Allow the -b -e option combination to take regular expressions
+ - Add plain message function to bb.msg
+ - Sort the list of providers before processing so dependency problems are
+ reproducible rather than effectively random
+ - Add locking for fetchers so only one tries to fetch a given file at a given time
+ - Fix int(0)/None confusion in runqueue.py which causes random gaps in dependency chains
+ - Fix handling of variables with expansion in the name using _append/_prepend
+ e.g. RRECOMMENDS_${PN}_append_xyz = "abc"
+ - Expand data in addtasks
+ - Print the list of missing DEPENDS,RDEPENDS for the "No buildable providers available for required...."
+ error message.
+ - Rework add_task to be more efficient (6% speedup, 7% number of function calls reduction)
+ - Sort digraph output to make builds more reproducible
+ - Split expandKeys into two for loops to benefit from the expand_cache (12% speedup)
+ - runqueue.py: Fix idepends handling to avoid dependency errors
+ - Clear the terminal TOSTOP flag if set (and warn the user)
+ - Fix regression from r653 and make SRCDATE/CVSDATE work for packages again
+
+Changes in Bitbake 1.8.6:
+ - Correctly redirect stdin when forking
+ - If parsing errors are found, exit, too many users miss the errors
+ - Remove supriours PREFERRED_PROVIDER warnings
Changes in Bitbake 1.8.4:
- Make sure __inherit_cache is updated before calling include() (from Michael Krelin)
