Revision 25938, 30.0 KB (checked in by jmpp@…, 19 months ago)

Merging changes to the ChangeLog. Branch again mirrors trunk, trunk/base@r25812 specifically (that is, not merging boeyms' whitespace commit, r25876).
Everything here is ready for merging back into trunk, only waiting for some updates that need to happen on the rsync server, real soon now!

  • Property svn:eol-style set to native
  • Property svn:keywords set to Id

8
9    - Add support for decoding of obscured maintainer addresses.
10      We support two types of obscured addresses in Portfile maintainers field:
11         (1) username ==> implies username@macports.org
12         (2) subdomain.tld:username ==> implies username@subdomain.tld
13      These are unobscured by port info, and by port submit during the submission process,
14      but are left obscured in the Portfile to avoid accidental disclosure.
15      (jberry r25795).
16
17    - Bugfix startup item generation so that launchd.plists are disabled
18      by default, as we claim they are in our documentation. (jberry r25785).
19
20    - Update adduser/addgroup to use dscl instead of niutil. Also add support
21      for realname key in addgroup (ticket #11012, eridius r25586).
22
23    - Make a correction to port(1)'s determination of whether or not a port has
24      been updated by making it compare ${version} and then ${revision} rather
25      than a single comparison of the compound ${version}_${revision}; the
26      latter reports 2.01_2 to be newer than 2.01.01a25_0 because, at the fifth
27      character, `_' comes after `.' in ASCII lexicographic order.
28      (boeyms in r25310)
29
30Release 1.4.42 (17-May-2007 tagged at r25296 by jberry)
31
32    - Fix reinplace, broken in 1.4.41 (eridius r25285).
33
34Release 1.4.41 (16-May-2007 tagged at r25266 by jberry):
35
36    - `port info` now supports new --index flag for using old behaviour (eridius r25256).
37
38    - `port info` now opens the Portfile and displays up-to-date information.
39      This allows information about variants to be displayed (eg. dependencies).
40      Also allow `port info` to default to current directory if no name is provided
41      (eridius r25255).
42   
43    - Add -E flag to reinplace, does the same thing as in sed (eridius r25251).
44
45    - Add support for [nosync] flag in sources.conf to prevent a source from syncing
46      during a `port sync` or `port selfupdate` (eridius r25236).
47      Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/dports [nosync]
48
49    - Updating a file: source via svn update during port sync now uses the uid/gid
50      of the owner of the working copy (eridius r25142).
51
52    - Make port(1) convert description and long_description from lists to
53      strings before printing to stdout; this enables the proper printing of
54      semi-colons, brackets and other characters by way of Tcl escape sequences.
55      The exceptions to this are the sequences for newline and carriage return
56      (these break the flatfile PortIndex format by introducing line breaks).
57      (boeyms r25110)
58
59    - Evaluate variants at dportopen instead of dportexec. This ensures that
60      the portfile represents the proper information if queried before targets
61      are executed. It also prevents variants from being executed twice if multiple
62      targets are executed separately on the portfile (ticket #11296, eridius r25033).
63
64    - Fix copy and move commands (eridius r25024).
65
66    - Passing multiple arguments to $option-delete now works as expected
67      (ticket #11929, eridius r25006).
68
69    - fs-traverse no longer follows symlinks specified on the root. This fixes
70      the incorrect behaviour of delete seen in #11862 (eridius r25003).
71
72    - Remove bundled xar. (jberry r24913).
73   
74    - Tighten checking of port name in depspecs. neither + nor / is allowed.
75      (jberry r24929, r24934, r24940).
76     
77    - Restore ability for portindex lines to contain carriage returns, allowing
78      fields such as descriptions to contain line breaks. Note that any portindex
79      containing such entries will not be readable by a recent version of macports.
80      (jberry r25146)
81     
82    - Add support for descriptions on variants:
83         * The syntax follows the syntax for variant depends, etc.
84         * Descriptions for variants are entirely optional
85         * The change to the portindex format to allow variant descriptions
86           should be backwards compatible. Variant descriptions are stored,
87           keyed by the variant name, in a new portinfo array named "variant_desc".
88   
89        Example:
90
91            variant myvariant description "This variant does this and that" {
92                configure.args-append   --do-this --do-that
93            }
94           
95        (jberry r25147)
96       
97    - Only look for, or create, ~/.macports user directory if the HOME environment
98      variable is defined. (jberry r25177)
99   
100
101Release 1.4.40 (7-May-2007, tagged at r24909 by jberry):
102
103    - Note the bump in version naming. To leave ourselves lots of room in our versioning
104      scheme, we've jumped from 1.4.3 to 1.4.40. The floating point represenation as
105      reported by port version (1.440) will still be the same; we're just interpreting
106      it differently.
107
108    - variable tracing now works in a much better way and handles unsets properly.
109      Similarly, ${option}-delete now works better. Depends validation no longer
110      attempts to validate when the variable is unset. Additionally, the validation
111      now actually validates each depspec instead of simply finding a single spec
112      within the list that works (ticket #11868, eridius r24678).
113
114    - macports infrastructure now easier to use from scripts.
115      ui_prefix and ui_channels have default implementations, and
116      all arguments to dportinit are now optional (ticket #11837, eridius r24460).
117
118    - ln now accepts combined flags (ex. ln -sf foo bar) (eridius r24452)
119
120    - default_variants now handles multiple values correctly (ticket #11828, eridius r24450).
121
122    - ln uses new symlink command so it can create symlinks that point to
123      files that don't actually exist (eridius r24444).
124
125    - New bare-bones Pextlib command `symlink source target` (ticket #11840, eridius r24444).
126
127    - delete reimplemented using fs-traverse (eridius r24435).
128
129    - fs-traverse now uses the fts(3) family of functions instead of readdir/opendir.
130      This fixes a couple behavioral oddities, and makes deleting during traversal work on 10.3
131      (ticket #11839, eridius r24423).
132
133    - fs-traverse now takes a list of targets rather than a variable number of arguments
134      (ticket #11836, eridius r24410).
135
136    - Fixed a potential crasher in fs-traverse when showing error message
137      (ticket #11827, eridius r24396, thanks sfiera).
138   
139    - Fixed a bug where livecheck failed on ports that do not define a homepage
140      (ticket #11818, pguyot r24319).
141
142    - Added the downloads section of our repo to the macports mirrors list (jmpp r24278).
143
144    - Fixed a bug with the archive mode introduced with r23238 change (1.4.1)
145      (pguyot r24273).
146
147    - Trace mode now take dependencies into account when executing the activate
148      phase. This fixes an unwanted warning when activating ports that depend
149      on teTeX (pguyot r24199).
150     
151    - Support for mpwa submit through "port submit".
152      This work is in progress. (jberry)
153       - Expose autoconf XAR variable as portutil::autoconf::xar_path. (r24194).
154       - Start to build portpkg.xar and meta data, hijacking Kevin's
155         portsubmit.tcl. (r24195-24196).
156         
157    - Revise error messages in port image activation to use syntax that
158      matches port(1). (jberry r24543, r24548).
159
160    - Create new interp variable prefix_frozen, which is available to port phases
161      even when the Portfile redefines prefix. (jberry r24848-r24849)
162     
163    - Search for prefix-relative commands in prefix_frozen rather than prefix.
164      Affects port submit (xar) and port fetch (svn). (jberry r24849)
165
166    - Always create a ~/.macports user directory if it doesn't yet exist. (jberry r24831)
167   
168    - Move port(1) readline history file to ~/.macports/history (jberry r24832, r24843)
169
170Release 1.4.3 (17-Apr-2007):
171
172    - Fix bug in launchd support, introduced in 1.4.2. Remove remnants of
173      launchd enable flag which caused reversion to systemstarter in 1.4.2.
174      (jberry r24151).
175     
176    - add functions 'backup' and 'lipo' along with some description
177      to be used for lipo-based universal variants, tested with openssl.
178      These functions should be considered test only for the time being,
179      and should not yet be adopted widely by port authors.
180      (pipping r24148).
181
182Release 1.4.2 (16-Apr-2007):
183
184    - New logic for variants overload that basically yields to listing only
185      variant +universal on ports that redefine it (pguyot in 24100).
186
187    - Implement brand new fs-traverse command in Pextlib.
188      See portfile.7 for documentation (eridius in r24079, r24080, and r24112).
189
190    - Add per-user preferences in ~/.macports/user.conf. This will be used
191      for submitter information.
192      Simplify selection of ports.conf file:
193        - ~/.portsrc is no longer supported.
194        - Search order for ports.conf is now:
195            - PORTSRC
196            - ~/.macports/ports.conf
197            - ${prefix}/etc/ports.conf
198          Only the first file found will be parsed and used.
199       (jberry r24071, r24113, r24114)
200
201    - Improvements on livecheck: fixed a report bug, improved ruby group
202      default behavior (pguyot in r24026 and r24018)
203     
204    - Remove xar from the build. xar doesn't build on panther due to
205      a libxml2 lib too old for xar requirements. We'll find another
206      way to deal with xar, perhaps by requiring users to install the
207      xar port when they need its services. (jberry r24107:r24108)
208     
209    - Remove configure switch for building launchd support. (jberry r24107:r24108)
210   
211    - Remove compatibility upgrade for conf files from
212      darwinports 1.1 to 1.2. (jberry r24106).
213
214Release 1.4.1 (14-Apr-2007):
215
216    - Add responsive, reasonably fast http mirrors to openbsd group
217      (pipping in r23343).
218
219    - Resolved ticket #11637: livecheck incorrectly assumed that
220      master_sites was set. (pguyot in r23329).
221
222    - Add xar 1.4 into the build of MacPorts base. xar is now installed
223      into /opt/local/, which will conflict with anybody who has the xar
224      port installed. (jberry in r23687).
225
226    - Add -I${prefix}/include -L${prefix}/lib to the default configure
227      flags (pguyot in r23246 and r23291).
228
229    - New options for configure flags (C|CPP|CXX|LD)FLAGS and logic to
230      handle that and backward compatibility (pguyot in r23098, r23125,
231      r23238, r23248 and r23249).
232
233    - "port sync" now updates svn repos too (eridius in r22784).
234
235    - Default +universal variant for configure-based ports (pguyot in
236      r22313).
237
238    - Fixed use of master_site in livecheck, added support for
239      code.google.com checks, made the up to date message info (instead of
240      debug) and improved debugging output with livecheck (eridius in
241      r23888, r23889, r23890, r23894; pguyot in 23660)
242
243    - Fixed a bug where running port test would not install dependencies
244      when required. (pguyot in r23700)
245
246    - New ruby portgroup option to specify the name of the module for
247      gem-based ports. (pguyot in 23659)
248
249    - New fetch option to ignore the SSL certificate when fetching from
250      a secure site (default is to not ignore it). (pguyot in r23242)
251
252    - Bugfix #11720. Fixes for variants.conf functionality. (jberry in
253      r23967)
254
255
256Release 1.4 (26-March-2007):
257
258    - New gnupg mirrors list and general cleanups to varios other lists (pipping in r22979 through r22982,
259      r22999, r23000 & r23037).
260
261    - Python 2.4 & Python 2.5 group code now offer a "python.include" variable (mww in r22914 & r22953).
262
263    - Resolved ticket #7563: The Pextlib curl command now sends a user agent, set to
264      "MacPorts libcurl/[libcurl version]" (eridius in r22771).
265
266    - Resolved ticket #11417: No longer touch the dep map file when opening it for reading (eridius in r22769).
267
268    - Archivemode now supports both tbz2 & tbz binary archives naming variations (jmpp in r22584).
269
270    - Add new alias 'registry_active' for registry::active so portfiles can check if another port is
271      installed and activated (eridius in r22304).
272
273    - Built-in 'find' command now always expects an expression as its first argument (jkh in r22048).
274
275    - with_docs variant of GNUStep PortGroup ports now installs the latex2html port by default (yves in r22014).
276
277    - Add new 'touch' & 'ln' portfile writing commands, their usage being similar to their BSD equivalents,
278      along with 'move' and 'copy' shorthands for TCL's "file rename/copy" calls (eridius in r22007).
279
280    - Fix a dangerous bug in parsing filenames with spaces in the the 'delete' command, while reworking it
281      to no longer be a plain 'system "rm -rf <path>"' call (eridius in r22007).
282
283    - Checksum phase no longer deletes distfiles upon checksums mistmatch, eliminating "file not found"
284      errors when a second run is attempted, thus making the need for a "port clean --dist" call more
285      explicit before continuing (eridius in r21967).
286
287    - Stating an empty key value in a Portfile now correctly clears it, as expected (eridius in r21950 & r21951).
288
289    - Documentation updates to the ports.conf.5 and portfile.7 man pages (markd, jmpp and others I may
290      be forgetting, sorry 'bout that, in r21998, referencing tickets #4905, #6880 & #10840).
291
292    - /Applications/DarwinPorts --> /Applications/MacPorts migration in base for aqua ports
293      (rhwood in r21852 and r21853, but other commits to this effect were also applied to trunk/dports)
294
295    - New SourceForge mirrors redirector and a few fallback geographically distributed hardcoded ones
296      to prevent disaster from happening, as suggested by Ross Turk (jkh in r21143 & jmpp in r21768).
297
298    - GNUStep PortGroup improvements and full documentation in portgroup.7 (yves in r21764).
299
300    - Xcode GroupCode improvements to ensure builds always take place inside the work dir (eridius in r21762).
301
302    - New 'macports' mirrors list, with entries pointing to svn's /distfiles/<user> &
303      /distfiles/general directories in our repo (eridius & jmpp in r21621).
304
305    - Iterate in darwinports_fastload using glob instead of hardcoding the library names (eridius in r21585).
306
307    - New Python 2.5 GroupCode (mww in r21451).
308
309    - Set upgrade.target back to archive (from unarchive) (dluke in r21110).
310
311    - rubyforge_gem fetch method for the Ruby PortGroup & livecheck support
312      (pguyot in r20544 & r20834, respectively).
313
314    - Resolved ticket #10843 (and probably #8229): initialize the portinfo array each time to improve
315      'port deps' and 'port variats' output (jberry in r19992).
316
317    - Resolved ticket #10766: improve error when no current port is available (jberry in r19665).
318
319    - Resolved ticket #8723: better messages for port outdated (jberry in r19664).
320
321
322Release 1.3.2 (9-Aug-2006):
323
324    - Fixed a bug that prevented operation of port ed with some editors.
325      The env wasn't being properly restored for the editor. (jberry)
326
327    - Fixed a bug in the creation of the portf symlink. (jmpp)
328
329    - Fixed a bug where port upgrade -uf fails because of the dirty upgrade
330      code. (pguyot)
331
332    - Port no longer warns when a shared distfile directory is emptied by a
333      clean --dist or clean --all, it now prunes the directory instead. (pguyot)
334
335    - Gem method of ruby portgroup now destroots from the worksrcdir, thus
336      avoiding an unnecessary warning with -t. (pguyot)
337
338    - Tell ld to look into /usr/local/lib when building port. This solves a
339      problem occurring when a newer version of readline is installed in
340      /usr/local. (pguyot)
341
342    - Added gnustep portgroup support. (Bugzilla #8139) (yves)
343
344    - Avoid sending Pragma: no cache when fetching files. (Bugzilla #8669)
345      (josh_root, blb)
346
347    - Changed Makefile logic to reconfigure/regenerate files when templates
348      are modified. (pguyot)
349   
350    - Trace now forbids renaming files and directories as well as removing
351      directories outside the sandbox. (pguyot)
352
353    - Allow additional inserted libraries by keeping DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
354      variable. (pguyot)
355     
356    - Change some UI strings and documentation to read MacPorts, rather than
357      DarwinPorts. The project is adopting the new name "MacPorts", and will
358      be using the macports.org domain in the future.
359
360Release 1.3.1 (31-Jul-2006):
361
362    - Fixed a bug in livecheck sourceforge guess algorithm. (pguyot)
363
364    - Fixed an incompatibility of darwintrace.c with MacOS X 10.3. Darwintrace.c
365      now also compiles on Linux. (pguyot)
366
367    - Fixed a bug introduced by a patch to the fetch code. Now, fetch target
368      can really deal with patch files even if the main fetch method is CVS or
369      SVN. (pguyot)
370
371    - Fixed a bug, introduced in 1.3, that prevented -f selfupdate from forcing
372      a build of the fetched sources. (jberry)
373     
374    - Fixed a bug, introduced in 1.3, that prevented -u uninstall from working.
375      (jberry)
376
377    - Fixed a bug in xcode portgroup. One variable used by the group conflicted
378      with global variables in port base code. (pguyot)
379
380    - Added a new test case for a cvs+remote patch file bug. (pguyot)
381   
382    - Added ruby gems support for ruby group. (rcavanaugh & pguyot)
383
384    - Trace now forbids creation of directories outside the sandbox. (pguyot)
385   
386    - Additions to man page for port(1): (jberry)
387       * new port options -F, -i, -x, -p
388       * mention interactive and batch modes
389       * document extensions to info command.
390   
391    - Archive mode is now disabled by default. (landonf)
392
393    - The upgrade target now properly detects and uses a matching binary
394      archive if found, an uninstall && install combination needed up till
395      now to pick it up. (jmpp)
396   
397Release 1.3 (27-Jul-2006):
398
399    - Fixed a bug where only the first word of configuration settings (in
400      ports.conf) was processed. This bug affected the use of extra_env.
401      (Bugzilla #9948) (pguyot)
402
403    - Fixed a bug where environment variables governing proxy were not
404      capitalized properly. (blb & jberry)
405
406    - Fixed a bug where port outdated and port ugprade didn't work in direct
407      mode. (Bugzilla 7719, 7721) (dluke & jberry)
408
409    - Fixed several problems with iteration on ports. (jberry)
410   
411    - Fixed a bug where curl LDFLAGS weren't properly propagated. (landonf)
412   
413    - Fixed a bug where location update routine invoked when installing DP did
414      not take the DESTDIR variable into account. (jmpp)
415
416    - Fixed a bug where patchfiles specifications could not have suffixes to
417      indicate the master site. (pguyot)
418   
419    - Fixed spelling in port(1) man page. (Bugzilla 8103) (pjenvey & jberry)
420   
421    - Fixed a typo and another problem in messages generated by port command.
422      (Bugzilla 6706 & 6712) (deric & jmpp)
423   
424    - Fixed a typo in ports.conf. (matt & jmpp)
425   
426    - Fixed several problems with launchd support (Bugzilla 8372 & 10041)
427      (jberry)
428
429    - Fixed a bug preventing the use of libmd for checksums and added an
430      informative compilation error if libcrypto and libmd cannot be found.
431      (landonf)
432   
433    - Fixed a bug where thread2.6 Tcl library wasn't installed where DP is
434      installed. (jmpp)
435
436    - Fixed a bug in xcode PortGroup which prevented the use of a custom
437      project path. (pguyot)
438   
439    - Fixed a bug in xcode PortGroup which made destroot to fail when there
440      were spaces in the install path. (pguyot)
441
442    - Fixed a bug in portfetch.tcl which failed to fetch patches when using
443      CVS or SVN. (Bugzilla 5269) (yeled)
444   
445    - Added new command 'delete' for use in Portfiles instead of
446      'file delete' and 'system "rm.."' (mww)
447
448    - Added more information to porthier(7) about ${prefix}/var/db/dports.
449      (olegb)
450   
451    - Updated Gnome, KDE and SourceForge mirror lists. (Bugzilla 8045, 9152)
452      (rwhood, blb, olegb & pguyot)
453
454    - Check earlier if there is no Portfile in a directory (especially when
455      iterating). (jberry)
456
457    - Split livecheck into distcheck and livecheck. Added two regular expression
458      modes (one line, full file), set the default to check against freshmeat
459      and defined the default for perl5 group. (pguyot)
460
461    - Discover path to rsync at autoconf time. (jberry)
462   
463    - Mark CVS, TAR, GNUTAR, and RSYNC as additional precious variables that can
464      be overridden in configure environment at time of configure to customize
465      the location of these tools. Note that these tools are not found in the dp
466      prefix, as PATH is sanitized of references to prefix. But you could
467      override the precious variables to acheive that if you really want to
468      shoot yourself. (jberry)
469
470    - Set timeouts for curl transfers.  Some connections to sketchy mirror sites
471      can hang forever otherwise. (jkh)
472   
473    - Shortened the time to upgrade with archive mode on by using archive as the
474      target. (Bugzilla #7891) (dluke & jberry)
475
476    - Added support for sqlite 3. (jberry)
477
478    - Major update of the trace (-t) option (pguyot):
479      * backported changes from darwinbuild's version of darwintrace, including
480        several bug fixes.
481      * cleaned up the code.
482      * writing/creating and also unlinking a file outside allowed bounds are
483        now blocked instead of being simply reported (previous version only
484        reported creations).
485      * fixed a bug where -t failed with X11 ports because ${prefix} got
486        overwritten.
487
488    - Added new native commands to handle privileges chores. (jberry)
489   
490    - Add batch/interactive mode. In interactive mode, use readline when it's available.
491      Command and portname completion is available in interactive mode, as is readline
492      history. (jberry) 2005-11-07,08
493   
494        * Add new option -F <filename> which specifies a command file to be
495          read and processed. Multiple such options may be given to provide
496          multiple command files. If filename is "-", then stdin is read.
497     
498        * Option -i is equivilant to -F -, which forces processing of standard
499          input following any commands given as arguments.
500         
501        * If port is invoked as portf, an -F is assumed as an implicit first
502          argument (so the real first argument is taken as a command file to
503          be processed). This should allow the use of a shebang line such as:
504            #!/usr/bin/env portf
505           
506        * Commands starting with # are treated as comments.
507       
508        * Install a symbolic link /opt/local/bin/portf --> /opt/local/bin/port.
509       
510        * New command "cd" is useful to change to a new directory/port while in
511          interactive/batch mode.
512         
513        * Multiple commands on a single line may be separated by a ';'
514       
515        * Global command options may now be specified following a particular
516          command; they will apply only to that command rather than to all
517          command invocations. This is important for batch/interactive mode.
518       
519    - Add new option -p, which ignores errors while processing within a command.
520      (this subsumes some of the work that -f was previously overloaded to do).
521      (jberry).
522   
523    - Add new option -x, which exits immediately on errors while in batch mode (
524      otherwise we don't exit on errors in batch mode). (jberry)
525   
526    - Refactoring of port(1) to cast actions into distinct action procs. Adds
527      the new action_array which is used for action dispatch, and also to generate
528      the list of possible commands for help and command completion. (jberry)
529   
530    - Initial version of portmirror binary to build a mirror of distfiles.
531      (pguyot)
532
533    - Improvements and fixes to the tests. (pguyot)
534   
535    - Added a new option (checksum.skip=yes) to bypass the checksum phase. This
536      option is mostly useful on the command line to test older distfiles.
537      (jberry)
538
539    - Added dependencies for rpm on virtual packages representing releases of
540      MacOS X. (mww)
541     
542    - Add to port the ability to query for specific meta-data fields.
543      For instance: port info --maintainer --name category:java
544      When specific fields are given, the legacy generalized info is not presented, and vis-versa.
545      By default, the fields for each port are listed one-per-line, with a field label
546      in front of each. (The field label is omitted if the global -q option is given).
547      If the --line option is given, the fields are presented on one line, tab separated,
548      and with no field label: port info --name --maintainer --line tomcat5 apache2
549      Field names are those from the PortIndex, plus some convenience versions of
550      those: (such as allowing category instead of categories).
551      Fields which are actually lists (such as depends_lib) are displayed comma-separated.
552      (jberry) 2006-02-16
553     
554Release 1.2.1 (10-Apr-2006):
555
556    - Changes to darwinports build infrastructure to allow for build of
557      the darwinports infrastructure as a multiarchitecture binary.
558      This allows darwinports to be built as fat, but does nothing to
559      allow ports themselves to be built as fat. To build darwinports
560      fat, configure as follows:
561        ./configure CFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386' SHLIB_LDFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386'
562                                        backported from HEAD (jberry)
563                                       
564    - Add a hack in order attempt to detect when a sourceforge mirror
565      is actually returning an error page. If this is detected, proceed
566      to the next mirror.               backported from HEAD (jberry)
567
568Release 1.2 (14-Dec-2005):
569
570    - Syntax change to disambiguate uses of the port's version on the command
571      line, when coupled with new changes to accept multiple ports.
572      The port version must now always be prefixed with an @. Example:
573        port uninstall vim @1.0
574      This probably only affects uninstall and activate, both of which
575      require a version if there are multiple versions installed.
576
577    - gzip-compress manpages that are in the share/man/cat? directories during
578      destroot, too. (mww)
579
580    - Enhance port command such that targets that require a port to be
581      specified will now all default to a port in current directory. (jberry)
582     
583    - Enhance port command to allow multiple ports per invocation.
584      Where previously one said "port install porta; port install portb",
585      one can now say "port install porta portb". (jberry)
586     
587    - Enhance port command to allow use of shell-like glob patterns for
588      port selection. When a glob pattern is found, the group of ports
589      matching the glob pattern is substituted. (jberry)
590     
591    - Enhance port command to allow use of "pseudo" portnames to specify
592      groups of ports.
593      When one of these pseudo portnames is specified on the command line,
594      the corresponding group of ports is substituted.
595
596      Currently defined pseudo portnames are:
597        current, all, installed, uninstalled, active, inactive, outdated.
598     
599      Additional pseudo portnames can be used to select ports based on a
600      regex pattern match against certain criteria. Each port selector is
601      a name, followed by a colon, followed by the desired regex pattern.
602      The selectors are:
603      variants:, variant:, description:, portdir:, homepage:, epoch:,
604      platforms:, platform:, name:, long_description:, maintainers:, maintainer:,
605      categories:, category:, version:, and revision: (jberry)
606     
607    - Enhance port command to allow use of set expressions to combine
608      ports or groups of ports.
609      Supported operators are "and", "or", "not", "!", "(", ")". (jberry)
610     
611    - Enhance port command to allow a port to be specified through a file:
612      url instead of via portname. This function was previously available
613      though the -D and -u options, which make less sense now that multiple
614      ports can be specified to a target. (jberry)
615     
616    - Under Tiger, startupitems are now by default generated for launchd
617      rather than systemstarter. (jberry)
618     
619    - Add new startupitem keys startupitem.executable, startupitem.logfile,
620      startupitem.logevents, startupitem.pidfile, supported for both
621      systemstarter and launchd. (jberry)
622     
623    - New Test framework. Running make test from base/tests/ will test
624      several features of port(1) including syntax of Portfiles. New tests
625      can easily be added by simply creating new directories in base/tests/
626      with a Portfile and a master file containing the output of port test
627      in this directory. Some tests are actually more complex. These tests
628      require the port binary to be installed in ${prefix}. (pguyot)
629
630    - svn fetching support, parallel to cvs fetching. Note that
631      this is a bit skanky as svn is not installed on the platform by default.
632      This code will error-out if svn is not installed. (jberry)
633
634    - Removal of old "fetch.args" parameter now that all Portfiles have been
635      properly moved to leverage Paul's libcurl work (yeled)
636
637    - DP now sets its own env variables instead of filtering user declared
638      ones considered harmful (blb)
639
640    - "Canonicalization" of expanded path:${prefix}/foo:bar dependencies
641      when including them in the PortIndex for better abstraction (jberry/pguyot)
642
643    - Addition of the IndexRegen.sh script that takes care of the automated
644      index thingie... (pguyot and jmpp)
645
646    - Miscellaneous cleanups:
647        - DP base is assured to respect a temporary DESTDIR installation and
648          other Makefile cleanups (toby, jmpp)
649        - s/--with-tclpackagedir/--with-tclpackage/g in autoconf error
650          reports (pguyot)
651        - fixes for the buildall.sh script (jkh)
652
653    - Some other fixes for lurking bugs, untapped by the various developments
654      that have taken place since 1.1 ("bunch of developers ;-);
655
656    - Snazzy new ChangeLog file
657   
658    - Add new actions for port(1): help (get help about port),
659      echo (the expanded arguments),
660      cat (the contents of the Portfiles from the specified ports),
661      edit (also alias "ed", the contents of the Portfiles, using EDITOR or VISUAL),
662      dir (emit path to the port's directory),
663      file (emit path to the port's Portfile)
664      (jberry)
665     
666    - On make install, upgrade ports.conf and sources.conf to change rsync.opendarwin.org
667      to rsync.darwinports.org. This is now our preferred rsync hostname.
668      Likewise, rename the rsync destination directories in ${prefix}/var/db/dports/sources
669      in a similar fashion (jberry)
