| - Cooker: Remove a debug message from the parsing loop to lower overhead | |
| - Convert build.py exec_task to use getVarFlags | |
| - Update shell to use cooker.buildFile | |
| - Add StampUpdate event | |
| - Convert -b option to use taskdata/runqueue | |

| 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 | |
| - When handling build target failures make sure idepends are checked and | |
| failed where needed. Fixes --continue mode crashes. | |
| - Fix -f (force) in conjunction with -b | |
| - Fix problems with recrdeptask handling where some idepends weren't handled | |

| - 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) | |

| 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). | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
