2.3 KiB

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 - Fix regression in the handling of BBCOLLECTIONS - Update the bitbake usermanual

Changes in BitBake 1.3.0: - add bitbake interactive shell (bitbake -i) - refactor bitbake utility in OO style - 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
