- Change SVNDIR layout to be more unique (fixes #2644 and #2624)
- Add ConfigParsed Event after configuration parsing is complete

reproducible rather than effectively random

- Convert build.py exec_task to use getVarFlags

honours dependencies

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

- 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
- Correctly handle '-' characters in class names (#2958)
- Make sure expandKeys has been called on the data dictionary 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
- bb.utils.prunedir can cope with symlinks to directoriees without exceptions
- 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)
- 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)
- Addition of BBCLASSEXTEND support for allowing one recipe to provide multiple targets (from Poky)

- Major changes to caching with a new strategy
giving a major performance increase when reparsing
with few data changes
Changes in BitBake 1.3.3:
- Create a new Fetcher module to ease the
development of new Fetchers.
Issue #438 fixed by rpurdie@openedhand.com
- Make the Subversion fetcher honor the SRC Date
(CVSDATE).
Issue #555 fixed by chris@openedhand.com
- Expand PREFERRED_PROVIDER properly
Issue #436 fixed by rprudie@openedhand.com
- Typo fix for Issue #531 by Philipp Zabel for the
BitBake Shell
- Introduce a new special variable SRCDATE as
a generic naming to replace CVSDATE.
- Introduce a new keyword 'required'. In contrast
to 'include' parsing will fail if a to be included
file can not be found.
- Remove hardcoding of the STAMP directory. Patch
courtsey pHilipp Zabel
- Track the RDEPENDS of each package (rpurdie@openedhand.com)
- Introduce BUILD_ALL_DEPS to build all RDEPENDS. E.g
this is used by the OpenEmbedded Meta Packages.
(rpurdie@openedhand.com).
Changes in BitBake 1.3.2:
- reintegration of make.py into BitBake
- bbread is gone, use bitbake -e
- lots of shell updates and bugfixes
- Introduction of the .= and =. operator
- Sort variables, keys and groups in bitdoc

- kill default arguments in methods in the bb.data module
- kill default arguments in methods in the bb.fetch module
- the http/https/ftp fetcher will fail if the to be
downloaded file was not found in DL_DIR (this is needed
to avoid unpacking the sourceforge mirror page)
- Switch to a cow like data instance for persistent and non
persisting mode (called data_smart.py)
- Changed the callback of bb.make.collect_bbfiles to carry
additional parameters
- Drastically reduced the amount of needed RAM by not holding
each data instance in memory when using a cache/persistent
storage
Changes in BitBake 1.2.1:
The 1.2.1 release is meant as a intermediate release to lay the
ground for more radical changes. The most notable changes are:
- Do not hardcode {}, use bb.data.init() instead if you want to
get a instance of a data class
- bb.data.init() is a factory and the old bb.data methods are delegates
- Do not use deepcopy use bb.data.createCopy() instead.
- Removed default arguments in bb.fetch
