0.42.2 (bugfix release; 2020/04/09)

     * cli: avoid loading installed packages with desc --log/-L
     * solver: proper handling of redundant requirements
     * solver: improved package scoring (fixes
       https://bugs.launchpad.net/poldek/+bug/1722104)
     * cli: optimized rpmdb cache loading (avoid double creation
       of directory index)

0.42.1 (bugfix release; 2020/03/16)

     * unified '--clean' and '-n repo --clean' behavior. All
       --clean subvariants: --clean-pkg, --clean-whole/--cleana
       are obsoleted now.
     * Fixed package deduplication with "unique package names = y"
       (#4)
     * Fixed download progress bar on non-tty outputs (#2)
     * multilib: back to comparing package architecture scores
       provided by rpmPlatformScore()
     * Fixed config macros expanding (#3)
     * multilib: fixed architecture flip-flop in transaction
       summary (#1)

0.42.0 (performance; 2020/03/02)

     * cli: faster shell boot time due to lazy load repos;
       compacted and colored install/ uninstall summary and
       downloading progress bar
     * feat: use XDG_CACHE_HOME/poldek as default cache directory
     * performance: faster (about 40%) repo loading: optimized
       capabilities indexes, zero backward fseeks (which is slow
       with compressed files), mtime based verification cache and
       lazy deps processing
     * depsolver: with "upgrade multiple instances" config option,
       poldek handle upgrades of multiple installed packages: most
       recent version is upgraded while other installed versions
       are kept untouch
     * ZSTD support: create zst repos with --mo=zst or with "compr
       = zst" source config option (or with global "default index
       compr = zst"). ZSTD is faster than GZIP, saves about 200ms
       on PLD TH repo loading (~30K packages).
     * SSL SNI support
     * fix: allow multiple --rpmdef command line options
     * fix: minor memleaks fixed

0.40.0 (rpm.org; 2019/12/31)

     * rpm.org support (except boolean dependencies yet; beta)
     * internal HTTPS support
     * depsolver: score orphan successors to select best fit
     * performance: faster package repo loading (avoiding backward
       fseeks)
     * cleanup: removed support for obsoleted package repo
       formats: pdir (poldek <= 0.18), hdrl (old apt) and old yum
     * openssl >= 1.1.1 support (openssl.patch) Arkadiusz
       Miskiewicz
     * fix: allow to transfer file via FTP even if server does not
       report file mtime (poldek-notzdata.patch) Arkadiusz
       Miskiewicz
     * fixed incorrect WTERMSIG usage (WTERMSIG.patch) Jan
       Rekorajski
     * fixed python bindings build (python-fix.patch) Jan
       Rekorajski

0.20 (major enhancements release; 2005/10/28)

   This release introduces new series of poldek. Significant
   changes and differences from 0.18.x series

Package repositories

     * repositories code has been redesigned and totally rewritten
       in the modular, plugin-like way, so is is quite easy to add
       support for new formats.
     * new 'pndir' is the default format now. It is based on tndb
       (cdb like) DBM library. To save bandwidth package
       descriptions (Description, Summary, etc) are stored in 2
       separate files: first named packages.ndir.dscr with common
       (BuildHost, Distribution, etc) and "C" descriptions and
       second with all non-C descriptions).
     * 'hdrl' aka 'apt' format are update-able
     * support for Yum and Metadata XML repositories
     * repository indexes could be created in many formats at once
       using --mt switch, ex:
    $ poldek -s /foo/bar --mkdix --mt=pdir,pndir

     * indexes may be created from any index format, i.e
       conversion to to another format is supported, ex:
    $ poldek --st apt -s /foo/bar --mkidx=/ala/ma --mt=pdir

     * (re)creation of native poldek's indexes (pdir, pndir) is
       much faster now package headers are not loaded at all if
       package's file modification time is the same as saved one
       in existing index.

Installation related

     * uninstallation code has been rewritten and improved.
       Packages are removed with its reverse dependencies and in
       the right order, according to {pre,post}un requirements
     * poldek can perform 'to repository' installation, i.e
       packages are copied from source to destination repository
       with full dependency checking, ex:
    $ poldek -n ...  --dt pdir --destination /foo/bar/RPMS --upgrade-dis
t -v
    $ poldek -n ...  --dn name --upgrade-dist -v

Interactive mode

     * interactive mode commands are available directly from
       command line
   $ poldek --cmd ls foo
   $ ipoldek ls foo

     * command aliases are defined in external configuration file
       (Mariusz Mazur <mmazur a kernel pl>)
     * commands may be piped, ex:
     poldek> rsearch /poldek/ | ls -l

     * external commands are supported:
     poldek> rsearch /pol/ | !grep ^pol

Configuration

     * multi word option names may be written with spaces or
       underscore separator, i.e: both forms "this is = foo" and
       "this_is = foo" are valid.
     * default location of configuration file has been changed to
       "${_sysconfdir}/poldek/poldek.conf", old /etc location is
       still supported.
     * configuration file format has been changed to ini-like one.
       Sources and external file getters should be configured in
       its own sections "source" and "fetcher", see sample
       configs. Old configuration format is still supported.
     * environment variables in config files are expanded, for
       example:
   cachedir = $HOME/.cache

     * support for simple macros has been added to make
       configuration easier to write and read, for example:
   _arch   = i686
   _prefix = ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/dists

   [source]
   type  = pdir
   name  = pld-ra
   path  = %{_prefix}/ra/PLD/%{_arch}/PLD/RPMS/

   [source]
   type  = pdir
   name  = pld-ra-updates
   path  = %{_prefix}/ra/updates/general/%{_arch}/

     * %include directive has been added, it can include both
       local and remote files:
   %include source.conf
   %include ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/dists/ra/source.conf

       Remote files once downloaded are stored in cache directory.
       To resynchronize them with it's remote copy use --upconf
       option.
     * support for APT sources configuration has been added - new
       "load apt sources list" configuration option.

General

     * some command line switches has been changed, but all
       obsoleted switches are still supported *except* "-f" (not
       important IMO). Changes:
      0.18.x                     0.20
    ------------------------------------
   -f, --fast               => --skip-installed
   --mkidxz                 => --mkidx           (compression is on by d
efault)
   --sidx, --sdir, --shdrl  =>                   (use --st=TYPE -s inste
ad)
   --unique-pkg-names       => --uniq
   --shcmd                  =>                   (use --cmd or run ipold
ek)

     * configuration options may be set from command line by -O
       switch, for example:
    $ poldek -Ovfile_external_compress=yes

     * PLD-FreeBSD port

       dependency processing)
     * vfile's progress bar improvements (Patryk Zawadzki <patrys
       att pld-linux org>)
     * fix: disabled package Epoch's autopromotion while checking
       if it matches requirement
     * with rpm >= 4.1 packages with same provide are obsoleted,
       not just name
     * fixed processing dependencies of orphaned packages
     * SIGSEGV killed while reading packages with dir/file names
       longer than 127 bytes
     * fixed package ordering bug

       packages
     * fixed --rpmdef '_dbpath DIR' (do not read rpm's configs
       many times)

     * fixed dowloading packages from apt-like sources

0.18.4 (bugfix and minor improvements release; 2004/05/10)

     * package filenames in "non-standard" form (N-V.R.ARCH.rpm)
       are supported
     * killed SIGSEGVs on 64bit architecture (Jakub Bogusz <qboosh
       att pld-linux org>)
     * fixed Epoch comparison bug while checking uninstalled
       capabilities
     * vfile: progress bar shows remaining time and transfer rate
       (Patryk Zawadzki <patrys att pld-linux org>)
     * fixed setting cache directory bug (Andreas Piesk <a.piesk
       att gmx net>)
     * fixed serious bug of checking unversioned dependencies
     * --ignore{arch,os} rpm options are honored
     * rpm options could be passed as --rpm=OPTION too, i.e.
       --rpm=ignorearch is equivalent of -- --rpm-ignorearch
     * new cmdline options --rpm-{force,nodeps} which are passed
       as --force and --nodeps to /bin/rpm only.
     * more aggressive package upgrades - orphaned packages are
       upgraded instead of processing its dependencies. This
       behavior is enabled by "greedy" option. To disable put
       "aggressive_greedy = no" to config.
     * "greedy" upgrade mode is enabled by default
     * conflicts with already installed packages are treated as
       resolved if at least one of multiple-installed package
       satisfies conflict. Of course RPM doesn't support such
       cases, so additionally --rpm-nodepsis needed (use with
       care). This behavior is enabled by default, put
       "allow_duplicates=no" to config to disable it.
     * displaying package size summary of installed package set
     * --unique-pkg-names (-Q) behavior is more intuitive now -
       highest version of package are taken instead of one from
       highest prioritizedsource

       org>)
     * vfile_external_compress=yes in config allows gzipped
       indexes to be used on systems with broken zlib linked in
       rpmio library(rpm 4.2 from RedHat 9, Fedora)
     * kill unaligned traps on Alpha, time_t is not 32bit long
       (Jakub Bogusz <qboosh att pld-linux org>) (Jakub Bogusz
       <qboosh att pld-linux org>)
     * new "promoteepoch" config and cmdline option switches Epoch
       to comparision compatible with rpm prior to 4.2.1 (with
       help of Jakub Bogusz <qboosh att pld-linux org>)

     * new: with --unique-pkg-names (-Q) packages with the same
       name are removed from available package set
     * sources are prioritized in order they are passed in
       cmdline, i.e. with $ poldek -s /foo/bar -n pld, source
       'foo/bar' obtains highest priority than 'pld', no matter
       what priority 'pld' has in config file.
     * fixed available package list management in interactive mode
     * AM/AC stuff cleanup and adaptation to their new versions
       (automake 1.7 and autoconf 2.54) (Artur Frysiak <wiget att

     * new "--ignore" option makes packages invisible to the
       poldek
     * "hdrl" sources can be refreshed with --upa
     * fixed package removal: don't follow dependencies if only
       one of multiple-installed packages is intended to uninstall
     * shell: search: pattern is treated as shell wildcard
       (matched by fnmatch(3)) by default; previous behavior (Perl
       regular expression matching) is available with --perlre or
       "rsearch" alias.
     * fixed package auto-selection among equivalents:
       dependencies aren't verified strictly during package
       scoring.
     * fixed bug of equivalent package selection (<Enter> was

0.17.3 (major enhancements release; 2002/04/23)

     * supported "hdlist" files (simple raw RPM package headers
       list) as sources. These files are used by APT-RPM as they
       are widely supported by RPM based distributions. However
       this format isn't optimal, now poldek is useable with
       almost every RPM based distro without poldek's native
       indexes support. See poldekrc.sample-{rh,mdk} for examples
       of RedHat and Mandrake configuration.
     * new "type=[pidx|dir|hdrl]" source option lets define source
       type inconfiguration file. Needed to distinguish "hdlist"
       ('hdrl' type) from"native" index format. Cmdline options:
       --source for 'pidx', --sdir for'dir' and --shdrl for
       'hdrl'.
     * support for GPG/PGP signatures verification (new "gpg" and
       "pgp" source options). Verification works well with rpm >=
       4.0.4 or patched PLD's rpm 4.0.2 package (release 62).
     * simple HTTP client (with partly HTTP/1.1 support), it is
       used for HTTP downloads; cURL backend is not compiled by
       default.
     * added IPv6 support to internal FTP client
     * new "--clean" and "--clean-whole" options for cache
       directorycleanup
     * URLs with user and password (ftp://user:passwd at
       host:port/path/ syntax) are supported (Andreas Piesk
       <a.piesk att gmx net>)
     * new "ftp_sysuser_as_anon_passwd" option causes sending
       login at hostname as anonymous FTP password
     * new "noautoup" source option tells poldek to do not update
       source by default.
     * shell: added long listig format of file list (poldek> desc
       -ll)
     * misc fixes to compile on SuSE
     * fixed rpm 3.x support (with help of Roger Luethi <rl att
       hellgate ch>)

       added on/off and enable/disable to the list of valid
       choices (Andreas Piesk <a.piesk att gmx net>)
     * fixed detection of file based conflicts between available
       packages.
     * packages with capabilities with the same name and different
       versions are handled properly
     * misc fixes to compile and work with glibc2.1 (with help of
       Andreas Piesk <a.piesk att gmx net>)
     * installation of multiple instances of package is allowed
       (by poldek -i)
     * fixes and improvements of dependency resolution
     * German translation (Andreas Piesk <a.piesk att gmx net>)
     * various bugs are fixed

0.17.2 (bugfix release; 2002/03/26)

     * "ported" to RedHat 7.2 (with rpm 4.0.4)
     * install-dist: --force forces installation of broken package
       sets
     * corrected package installation progress bar (Michal Moskal
       <malekith att pld-linux org>)
     * install-dist: log INST-{OK,ERR} for PLD Installer (Michal
       Moskal <malekith att pld-linux org>)
     * --dump* works properly
     * vftp: fixed error handling

     * added support for package.dir's "patches" (new option
       --update-whole updates whole index; --update looking for
       patches first)
     * packages are divided into groups before install and each
       group is installed separately; this ensures that broken
       dependencies in one of group doesn't affect the rest.
     * improved dependency processing
     * added simple ftp client; it is used for FTP downloads by
       default
     * shell
     * added log file support (--log option)
     * sources may be configured as name and URL pair and later
       selected by that name (new --sn|-n option); with --sl|-l
       program lists all configured sources.
     * packages.dir's integrity is verified before each
       loadingwhat prevents program SIGSEVs on load broken indexes
     * changed default cache directory to $HOME/.poldek-cache
     * package MD5 sums are verified before install
     * with --ask program confirms each installation
       (confirm_install config option) and allows the user to
       choose among equivalent packages
       (choose_equivalents_manually config option)
     * few (nice) improvements and (not so nice ;-) bugs fixed

0.16 (bugfix release; 2002/01/29)

     * fixed removable media support in non-install-dist modes

     * downloaded packages are removed after successful
       installation by default (keep_downloads=yes in config can
       change to previous behavior)
     * changed semantics of --test: -t causes poldek's checks
       only, -tt turns on tests performed by rpm too.
     * "mercy" dependency checking mode may be enabled in config
     * added workarounds and traps for (probably) curl's bugs
