| - 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 |
| - Remove digraph and switch to new stamp checking code. exec_task no longer |
| honours dependencies |

| 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 |

| - 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. |

| - 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) |

| - 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) |

| 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 |
