+
+Changes in BitBake 1.7.x:
+        - Major updates of the dependency handling and execution
+          of tasks. Code from bin/bitbake replaced with runqueue.py
+          and taskdata.py
+        - New task execution code supports multithreading with a simplistic
+          threading algorithm controlled by BB_NUMBER_THREADS
+        - Change of the SVN Fetcher to keep the checkout around
+          courtsey of Paul Sokolovsky (#1367)
+        - PATH fix to bbimage (#1108)
+        - Allow debug domains to be specified on the commandline (-l)
+        - Allow 'interactive' tasks
+        - Logging message improvements
+        - Drop now uneeded BUILD_ALL_DEPS variable
+        - Add support for wildcards to -b option
+        - Major overhaul of the fetchers making a large amount of code common
+          including mirroring code
+        - Fetchers now touch md5 stamps upon access (to show activity)
+        - Fix -f force option when used without -b (long standing bug)
+        - Add expand_cache to data_cache.py, caching expanded data (speedup)
+        - Allow version field in DEPENDS (ignored for now)
+        - Add abort flag support to the shell
+        - Make inherit fail if the class doesn't exist (#1478)
+        - Fix data.emit_env() to expand keynames as well as values
+        - Add ssh fetcher
+        - Add perforce fetcher
+        - Make PREFERRED_PROVIDER_foobar defaults to foobar if available
+        - Share the parser's mtime_cache, reducing the number of stat syscalls
+        - Compile all anonfuncs at once! 
+          *** Anonfuncs must now use common spacing format ***
+        - Memorise the list of handlers in __BBHANDLERS and tasks in __BBTASKS
+          This removes 2 million function calls resulting in a 5-10% speedup
+        - Add manpage
+        - Update generateDotGraph to use taskData/runQueue improving accuracy
+          and also adding a task dependency graph
+        - Fix/standardise on GPLv2 licence
+        - Move most functionality from bin/bitbake to cooker.py and split into
+          separate funcitons

+        - Add BBINCLUDELOGS_LINES, the number of lines to read from any logfile
