=================
buildstream 1.3.1
=================

  o Added `bst artifact delete` subcommand. This command removes artifacts from
    the local cache. Mulitple element names and artifact refs can be specified
    as arguments.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: The top level commands `checkout`, `push` and `pull` have
    been moved to the `bst artifact` subcommand group and are now obsolete.
    For example, you must now use `bst artifact pull hello.bst`.

    The behaviour of `checkout` has changed. The previously mandatory LOCATION
    argument should now be specified with the `--directory` option. In addition
    to this, `--tar` is no longer a flag, it is a mutually incompatible option
    to `--directory`. For example, `bst artifact checkout foo.bst --tar foo.tar.gz`.


  o Added `bst artifact log` subcommand for viewing build logs.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: The bst source-bundle command has been removed. The
    functionality it provided has been replaced by the `--include-build-scripts`
    option of the `bst source-checkout` command. To produce a tarball containing
    an element's sources and generated build scripts you can do the command
    `bst source-checkout --include-build-scripts --tar foo.bst some-file.tar`

  o BREAKING CHANGE: `bst track` and `bst fetch` commands are now obsolete.
    Their functionality is provided by `bst source track` and
    `bst source fetch` respectively.

  o Added new `bst source checkout` command to checkout sources of an element.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: Default strip-commands have been removed as they are too
    specific. Recommendation if you are building in Linux is to use the
    ones being used in freedesktop-sdk project, for example

  o Running commands without elements specified will now attempt to use
    the default targets defined in the project configuration.
    If no default target is defined, all elements in the project will be used.

  o All elements must now be suffixed with `.bst`
    Attempting to use an element that does not have the `.bst` extension,
    will result in a warning.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: The 'manual' element lost its default 'MAKEFLAGS' and 'V'
    environment variables. There is already a 'make' element with the same
    variables. Note that this is a breaking change, it will require users to
    make changes to their .bst files if they are expecting these environment
    variables to be set.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: The 'auto-init' functionality has been removed. This would
    offer to create a project in the event that bst was run against a directory
    without a project, to be friendly to new users. It has been replaced with
    an error message and a hint instead, to avoid bothering folks that just
    made a mistake.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: The unconditional 'Are you sure?' prompts have been
    removed. These would always ask you if you were sure when running
    'bst workspace close --remove-dir' or 'bst workspace reset'. They got in
    the way too often.

  o Failed builds are included in the cache as well.
    `bst checkout` will provide anything in `%{install-root}`.
    A build including cached fails will cause any dependant elements
    to not be scheduled and fail during artifact assembly,
    and display the retry prompt during an interactive session.

  o Due to enabling the use of relative workspaces, "Legacy" workspaces
    may need to be closed and remade before the changes will affect them.
    Downgrading after using this feature may result in workspaces
    not functioning correctly

  o Elements may now specify 'build-depends' and 'runtime-depends' fields
    to avoid having to specify the dependency type for every entry in
    'depends'.

  o Elements may now specify cross-junction dependencies as simple strings
    using the format '{junction-name}:{element-name}'.

  o Source plugins may now request access access to previous during track and
    fetch by setting `BST_REQUIRES_PREVIOUS_SOURCES_TRACK` and/or
    `BST_REQUIRES_PREVIOUS_SOURCES_FETCH` attributes.

  o Add new `pip` source plugin for downloading python packages using pip,
    based on requirements files from previous sources.

  o Generate Docker images from built artifacts using
    `contrib/bst-docker-import` script.

  o Added Documentation on how to create out of source builds. This includes the
    new the `conf-root` variable to make the process easier. And there has been
    a bug fix to workspaces so they can be build in workspaces too.

  o Creating a build shell through the interactive mode or `bst shell --build`
    will now use the cached build tree if available locally. It is now easier to
    debug local build failures.

  o `bst shell --sysroot` now takes any directory that contains a sysroot,
    instead of just a specially-formatted build-root with a `root` and `scratch`
    subdirectory.

  o Due to the element `build tree` being cached in the respective artifact their
    size in some cases has significantly increased. In *most* cases the build trees
    are not utilised when building targets, as such by default bst 'pull' & 'build'
    will not fetch build trees from remotes. This behaviour can be overridden with
    the cli main option '--pull-buildtrees', or the user configuration cache group
    option 'pull-buildtrees = True'. The override will also add the build tree to
    already cached artifacts. When attempting to populate an artifactcache server
    with cached artifacts, only 'complete' elements can be pushed. If the element
    is expected to have a populated build tree then it must be cached before pushing.

  o `bst workspace open` now supports the creation of multiple elements and
    allows the user to set a default location for their creation. This has meant
    that the new CLI is no longer backwards compatible with buildstream 1.2.

  o Add sandbox API for command batching and use it for build, script, and
    compose elements.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: The `git` plugin does not create a local `.git`
    repository by default.  If `git describe` is required to work, the
    plugin has now a tag tracking feature instead. This can be enabled
    by setting 'track-tags'.

  o Opening a workspace now creates a .bstproject.yaml file that allows buildstream
    commands to be run from a workspace that is not inside a project.

  o Specifying an element is now optional for some commands when buildstream is run
    from inside a workspace - the 'build', 'checkout', 'fetch', 'pull', 'push',
    'shell', 'show', 'source-checkout', 'track', 'workspace close' and 'workspace reset'
    commands are affected.

  o bst 'build' now has '--remote, -r' option, inline with bst 'push' & 'pull'.
    Providing a remote will limit build's pull/push remote actions to the given
    remote specifically, ignoring those defined via user or project configuration.

  o Artifacts can now be cached explicitly with an empty `build tree` when built.
    Element types without a build-root were already cached with an empty build tree
    directory, this can now be extended to all or successful artifacts to save on cache
    overheads. The cli main option '--cache-buildtrees' or the user configuration cache
    group option 'cache-buildtrees' can be set as 'always', 'failure' or 'never', with
    the default being always. Note, as the cache-key for the artifact is independant of
    the cached build tree input it will remain unaltered, however the availbility of the
    build tree content may differ.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: Symlinks are no longer resolved during staging and absolute
    symlinks are now preserved instead of being converted to relative symlinks.

  o BREAKING CHANGE: Overlap whitelists now require absolute paths. This allows
    use of variables such as %{prefix} and matches the documentation.


=================
buildstream 1.1.5
=================

  o Add a `--tar` option to `bst checkout` which allows a tarball to be
    created from the artifact contents.

  o Fetching and tracking will consult mirrors defined in project config,
    and the preferred mirror to fetch from can be defined in the command
    line or user config.

  o Added new `remote` source plugin for downloading file blobs

  o Add support for the new include '(@)' directive in project.conf and .bst files


=================
buildstream 1.1.4
=================

  o `bst workspace` commands and `bst track` will substitute their
    source elements when performing those operations, e.g. performing
    `bst track` on a filter element will track the sources on the
    element that it depends on (if it has sources).

  o Added new simple `make` element

  o Switch to Remote Execution CAS-based artifact cache on all platforms.

    Artifact servers need to be migrated.

  o BuildStream now requires python version >= 3.5

  o BuildStream will now automatically clean up old artifacts when it
    runs out of space. The exact behavior is configurable in the user's
    buildstream.conf.


=================
buildstream 1.1.3
=================

  o Added new `bst init` command to initialize a new project.

  o Cross junction tracking is now disabled by default for projects
    which can support this by using project.refs ref-storage

    New options have been added to explicitly enable cross-junction
    tracking.

  o Failed jobs are now summarised at the end of a build.

    Use `--verbose` and `--no-verbose` to adjust the amount of detail given.

  o BuildElements' `configure-commands` are only run once for
    workspaces now, which allows for incremental builds.

    Appropriate API for plugins is also exposed through
    `Element.prepare`.

  o The `cmake` plugin now supports building with ninja with the
    newly added `generator` configuration option.

  o `bst workspace close` and `bst workspace reset` now support multiple
    elements. All elements can be specified using `--all`.

  o The elements whose cache keys had to be determined during the build
    are summarised at the end of the build.

  o Fixed versioning introspection to be dynamic, many users use
    a developer install mode so they can update with git, now the
    version information is always up to date in logs.

    This causes a minor API break: The --version output now only
    outputs the version.


=================
buildstream 1.1.2
=================

  o New ref-storage option allows one to store source refs, such
    as git shas, in one central project.refs file instead of inline
    with the source declarations.

  o Deprecated `--track-save` optionality in `bst build`, this
    does not make sense to support now that we have project.refs.

  o Added the `sandbox` configuration option which can be used in
    `project.conf` and elements, to control the user ID and group ID
    used in build sandboxes.

  o Added new `deb` source implementation, for staging of downloaded
    deb package files.


=================
buildstream 1.1.1
=================

  o New project configuration controlling how the sandbox behaves
    when `bst shell` is used; allowing projects to provide a more
    functional shell environment.

  o The `bst shell` command now has a `--mount` option allowing
    users to mount files and directories into the sandbox for
    testing purposes.

  o Log lines are now configurable with the new "message-format"
    user configuration, allowing one to express optional fields
    such as microsecond precision and wallclock time.

  o Newly added filter element

  o Git source plugin now allows disabling of submodule checkouts

  o In the same way we allow overriding element configurations
    by their 'kind' in project.conf, we now support the same
    for source plugin configurations.

  o Tar and zip sources now automatically recall an `etag`
    from the http headers, optimizing tracking of tarballs
    significantly (issue #62)


=================
buildstream 1.1.0
=================

  o Multiple artifact caches are now supported in project and
    user configuration with a priority order (issue #85)
  o Add junction support for subprojects
  o Changes towards incremental builds in workspaces
  o `bst shell --build` now creates true build sandbox
  o Many bug fixes


=================
buildstream 1.0.0
=================
First stable release of BuildStream

BuildStream 1.0.0 is all about API stability - for the past months we
have been reviewing our various API surfaces, implementing strategies
for revisioning of our interfaces and cleaning up. Long term stability
is very important for build reproducibility over time, and this release
is the first promise we are making on any API surfaces.

Stable API surfaces include:
  o The command line interface
  o The YAML user configuration file format
  o The YAML project `.bst` file format
  o The core Python module imported by external plugins
