2342 Gstreamer 0.10 has been removed in favor of Gstreamer 1.x.
2343 As part of the change, Gstreamer 0.10 recipes
2344 that still need Gstreamer 0.10 are now located
2345 in <filename>meta-multimedia</filename>.

2415 <title>BitBake datastore improvements</title>
2416
2417 <para>
2418 The method by which BitBake's datastore handles overrides has
2419 changed.
2420 Overrides are now applied dynamically and
2421 <filename>bb.data.update_data()</filename> is now a no-op.
2422 Thus, <filename>bb.data.update_data()</filename> is no longer
2423 required in order to apply the correct overrides.
2424 In practice, this change is unlikely to require any changes to
2425 Metadata.
2426 However, these minor changes in behavior exist:
2427 <itemizedlist>
2428 <listitem><para>
2429 All potential overrides are now visible in the variable
2430 history as seen when you run the following:
2431 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
2432 $ bitbake -e
2433 </literallayout>
2434 </para></listitem>
2435 <listitem><para>
2436 <filename>d.delVar('VARNAME')</filename> and
2437 <filename>d.setVar('VARNAME', None)</filename> result
2438 in the variable and all of its overrides being cleared out.
2439 Before the change, only the non-overridden values
2440 were cleared.

2447 <title>Shell Message Function Changes</title>
2448
2449 <para>
2450 The shell versions of the BitBake message functions (i.e.
2451 <filename>bbdebug</filename>, <filename>bbnote</filename>,
2452 <filename>bbwarn</filename>, <filename>bbplain</filename>,
2453 <filename>bberror</filename>, and <filename>bbfatal</filename>)
2454 are now connected through to their BitBake equivalents
2455 <filename>bb.debug()</filename>, <filename>bb.note()</filename>,
2456 <filename>bb.warn()</filename>, <filename>bb.plain()</filename>,
2457 <filename>bb.error()</filename>, and
2458 <filename>bb.fatal()</filename>, respectively.
2459 Thus, those message functions that you would expect to be printed
2460 by the BitBake UI are now actually printed.
2461 In practice, this change means two things:
2462 <itemizedlist>
2463 <listitem><para>
2464 If you now see messages on the console that you did not
2465 previously see as a result of this change, you might
2466 need to clean up the calls to
2467 <filename>bbwarn</filename>, <filename>bberror</filename>,
2468 and so forth.
2469 Or, you might want to simply remove the calls.
2470 </para></listitem>
2471 <listitem><para>
2472 The <filename>bbfatal</filename> message function now
2473 suppresses the full error log in the UI, which means any
2474 calls to <filename>bbfatal</filename> where you still
2475 wish to see the full error log should be replaced by
2476 <filename>die</filename> or
2477 <filename>bbfatal_log</filename>.

2558 <para>
2559 Maintenance tracking data for recipes that was previously part

2561 The change includes <filename>package_regex.inc</filename> and

2563 when using the
2564 <link linkend='ref-classes-distrodata'><filename>distrodata</filename></link>
2565 class.
2566 Additionally, the contents of

2576 Stale files from recipes that no longer exist in the current
2577 configuration are now automatically removed from
2578 sysroot as well as removed from
2579 any other place managed by shared state.
2580 This automatic cleanup means that the build system now properly
2581 handles situations such as renaming the build system side of
2582 recipes, removal of layers from
2583 <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>, and
2584 <link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>

2600 <title><filename>linux-yocto</filename> Kernel Metadata Repository Now Split from Source</title>
2601
2602 <para>
2603 The <filename>linux-yocto</filename> tree has up to now been a
2604 combined set of kernel changes and configuration (meta) data
2605 carried in a single tree.
2606 While this format is effective at keeping kernel configuration and
2607 source modifications synchronized, it is not always obvious to
2608 developers how to manipulate the Metadata as compared to the
2609 source.
2610 </para>
2611
2612 <para>
2613 Metadata processing has now been removed from the
2614 <link linkend='ref-classes-kernel-yocto'><filename>kernel-yocto</filename></link>
2615 class and the external Metadata repository
2616 <filename>yocto-kernel-cache</filename>, which has always been used
2617 to seed the <filename>linux-yocto</filename> "meta" branch.
2618 This separate <filename>linux-yocto</filename> cache repository
2619 is now the primary location for this data.
2620 Due to this change, <filename>linux-yocto</filename> is no longer
2621 able to process combined trees.
2622 Thus, if you need to have your own combined kernel repository,
2623 you must do the split there as well and update your recipes
2624 accordingly.
2625 See the <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_4.1.bb</filename>
2626 recipe for an example.

2638 of packaged files outside of

2641 The existence of these types of paths usually
2642 indicates ownership has been incorrectly set.

2644 <listitem><para>
2645 Added an "invalid-chars" check for invalid (non-UTF8)

2681 Bringing in <filename>oprofile</filename> was originally

2683 targets.
2684 However, this aid has not been widely used and is not
