101 | instead of BBHandler | ||
102 | - Fix getVarFlags bug in data_smart | ||
103 | - Optmise cache handling by more quickly detecting an invalid cache, only | ||
104 | saving the cache when its changed, moving the cache validity check into | ||
105 | the parsing loop and factoring some getVar calls outside a for loop | ||
106 | - Cooker: Remove a debug message from the parsing loop to lower overhead | ||

114 | updates | ||
115 | - Add BB_SCHEDULER variable/option ("completion" or "speed") controlling | ||
116 | the way bitbake schedules tasks | ||
117 | - Add BB_STAMP_POLICY variable/option ("perfile" or "full") controlling | ||
118 | how extensively stamps are looked at for validity | ||
119 | - When handling build target failures make sure idepends are checked and | ||
120 | failed where needed. Fixes --continue mode crashes. | ||
121 | - Fix -f (force) in conjunction with -b | ||
122 | - Fix problems with recrdeptask handling where some idepends weren't handled | ||
123 | correctly. | ||
124 | - Handle exit codes correctly (from pH5) | ||
125 | - Work around refs/HEAD issues with git over http (#3410) | ||
126 | - Add proxy support to the CVS fetcher (from Cyril Chemparathy) | ||
127 | - Improve runfetchcmd so errors are seen and various GIT variables are exported | ||
128 | - Add ability to fetchers to check URL validity without downloading | ||
129 | - Improve runtime PREFERRED_PROVIDERS warning message | ||
130 | - Add BB_STAMP_WHITELIST option which contains a list of stamps to ignore when | ||
131 | checking stamp dependencies and using a BB_STAMP_POLICY of "whitelist" | ||
132 | - No longer weight providers on the basis of a package being "already staged". This | ||
133 | leads to builds being non-deterministic. | ||
134 | - Flush stdout/stderr before forking to fix duplicate console output | ||
135 | - Make sure recrdeps tasks include all inter-task dependencies of a given fn | ||
136 | - Add bb.runqueue.check_stamp_fn() for use by packaged-staging | ||
137 | - Add PERSISTENT_DIR to store the PersistData in a persistent | ||
138 | directory != the cache dir. | ||
139 | - Add md5 and sha256 checksum generation functions to utils.py | ||
140 | - Correctly handle '-' characters in class names (#2958) | ||
141 | - Make sure expandKeys has been called on the data dictionary before running tasks | ||
142 | - Correctly add a task override in the form task-TASKNAME. | ||
143 | - Revert the '-' character fix in class names since it breaks things | ||
144 | - When a regexp fails to compile for PACKAGES_DYNAMIC, print a more useful error (#4444) | ||
145 | - Allow to checkout CVS by Date and Time. Just add HHmm to the SRCDATE. | ||
146 | - Move prunedir function to utils.py and add explode_dep_versions function | ||
147 | - Raise an exception if SRCREV == 'INVALID' | ||
148 | - Fix hg fetcher username/password handling and fix crash | ||
149 | - Fix PACKAGES_DYNAMIC handling of packages with '++' in the name | ||
150 | - Rename __depends to __base_depends after configuration parsing so we don't | ||
151 | recheck the validity of the config files time after time | ||
152 | - Add better environmental variable handling. By default it will now only pass certain | ||
153 | whitelisted variables into the data store. If BB_PRESERVE_ENV is set bitbake will use | ||
154 | all variable from the environment. If BB_ENV_WHITELIST is set, that whitelist will be | ||
155 | used instead of the internal bitbake one. Alternatively, BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE can be used | ||
156 | to extend the internal whitelist. | ||
157 | - Perforce fetcher fix to use commandline options instead of being overriden by the environment | ||
158 | - bb.utils.prunedir can cope with symlinks to directoriees without exceptions | ||
159 | - use @rev when doing a svn checkout | ||
160 | - Add osc fetcher (from Joshua Lock in Poky) | ||
161 | - When SRCREV autorevisioning for a recipe is in use, don't cache the recipe | ||
162 | - Add tryaltconfigs option to control whether bitbake trys using alternative providers | ||
163 | to fulfil failed dependencies. It defaults to off, changing the default since this | ||
164 | behaviour confuses many users and isn't often useful. | ||
165 | - Improve lock file function error handling | ||
166 | - Add username handling to the git fetcher (Robert Bragg) | ||
167 | - Add support for HTTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY_IGNORE variables to the wget fetcher | ||
168 | - Export more variables to the fetcher commands to allow ssh checkouts and checkouts through | ||
169 | proxies to work better. (from Poky) | ||
170 | - Also allow user and pswd options in SRC_URIs globally (from Poky) | ||
171 | - Improve proxy handling when using mirrors (from Poky) | ||
172 | - Add bb.utils.prune_suffix function | ||
173 | - Fix hg checkouts of specific revisions (from Poky) | ||
174 | - Fix wget fetching of urls with parameters specified (from Poky) | ||
175 | - Add username handling to git fetcher (from Poky) | ||
176 | - Set HOME environmental variable when running fetcher commands (from Poky) | ||
177 | - Make sure allowed variables inherited from the environment are exported again (from Poky) | ||
178 | - When running a stage task in bbshell, run populate_staging, not the stage task (from Poky) | ||
179 | - Fix + character escaping from PACKAGES_DYNAMIC (thanks Otavio Salvador) | ||
180 | - Addition of BBCLASSEXTEND support for allowing one recipe to provide multiple targets (from Poky) | ||
181 | |||

184 | |||
185 | Changes in BitBake 1.7.x: | ||
186 | - Major updates of the dependency handling and execution | ||
187 | of tasks. Code from bin/bitbake replaced with runqueue.py | ||
188 | and taskdata.py | ||
189 | - New task execution code supports multithreading with a simplistic | ||
190 | threading algorithm controlled by BB_NUMBER_THREADS | ||
191 | - Change of the SVN Fetcher to keep the checkout around | ||
192 | courtsey of Paul Sokolovsky (#1367) | ||
193 | - PATH fix to bbimage (#1108) | ||
194 | - Allow debug domains to be specified on the commandline (-l) | ||

203 | - Add expand_cache to data_cache.py, caching expanded data (speedup) | ||
204 | - Allow version field in DEPENDS (ignored for now) | ||
205 | - Add abort flag support to the shell | ||
206 | - Make inherit fail if the class doesn't exist (#1478) | ||

217 | - Update generateDotGraph to use taskData/runQueue improving accuracy | ||
218 | and also adding a task dependency graph | ||

260 | Changes in BitBake 1.3.3: | ||

277 | courtsey pHilipp Zabel | ||
278 | - Track the RDEPENDS of each package (rpurdie@openedhand.com) | ||

280 | this is used by the OpenEmbedded Meta Packages. | ||
281 | (rpurdie@openedhand.com). | ||
282 | |||
283 | Changes in BitBake 1.3.2: | ||

290 | - Update the bitbake usermanual | ||
291 | |||
292 | Changes in BitBake 1.3.0: | ||
293 | - add bitbake interactive shell (bitbake -i) | ||
294 | - refactor bitbake utility in OO style | ||
295 | - kill default arguments in methods in the bb.data module | ||
296 | - kill default arguments in methods in the bb.fetch module | ||
297 | - the http/https/ftp fetcher will fail if the to be | ||

300 | - Switch to a cow like data instance for persistent and non | ||
301 | persisting mode (called data_smart.py) | ||
302 | - Changed the callback of bb.make.collect_bbfiles to carry | ||
303 | additional parameters | ||
304 | - Drastically reduced the amount of needed RAM by not holding | ||

308 | Changes in BitBake 1.2.1: | ||
309 | The 1.2.1 release is meant as a intermediate release to lay the | ||
310 | ground for more radical changes. The most notable changes are: | ||
311 | |||
312 | - Do not hardcode {}, use bb.data.init() instead if you want to | ||
313 | get a instance of a data class | ||

315 | - Do not use deepcopy use bb.data.createCopy() instead. | ||
316 | - Removed default arguments in bb.fetch | ||
317 | |||
