-*-outline-*-

* 0.90
  changed the archive default according to whether the user is running
  1.2.5 or 1.3.0.  Also print a better error message when a syntax error
  is dicovered during extraction of dependencies.

* missing version
  fixed uninstall problem when trying to remove twice the same file (don't
  record it twice in the first place - be more permissive anyway).  Additionally
  remove directories that have become empty.

  added support for automatically installing missing packages identified by
  their MOGUL id in the makefile.oz "requires" feature. option --norequires
  may be used to turn off this behaviour

  added option --binary to create a purely binary package (i.e. nothing needs
  to be compiled at installation time).  This is primarily intended for Windows
  users who typically do not have cygwin and thus cannot install packages that
  provide native functors.

* version 0.88
  protect against build circularities. added ExpandInCWD functionality -
  used it to make e.g. src and build dir absolute so that when added to
  a resolver they function properly even if a temporary chDir is performed.

* version 0.87
  use compressedFile support instead of Oz pickles if support is available.

* version 0.86
  complete rework of the computation of dependencies. e.g. to take
  into account the run-time dependencies of build-time dependencies.
  fixed bug in package creation with circular imports.

* version 0.85
  for autodepend to work as expected, the build rule for ozl needs to
  consider all the recursive dependencies.

* version 0.84
  fixed a bug introduced by 0.83.  The explicit "depends" in the makefile.oz
  were being ignored.

* version 0.83
** ozmake will now automatically compute build-time and install-time
   dependencies, but sofar only for Oz sources.  This can be
   controlled by --(no)autodepend, which is true by default.

* version 0.82
** honor new OZ_DOTOZ introduced in Mozart 1.2.4

* version 0.81.4
** forgot to enter changes
** gumpdir support still unusable in 1.2.3. turned off
** --publish: don't try to install docs when there is none
   otherwise publishing contact complains about missing mogul id
** don't try to chdir in dry-run mode (the dir may be missing)

* version 0.79
** fixed "fast" compiler invocation to also pass debug switch

* version 0.78
** automatically remove spurious trailing slashes on MOGUL IDs.
** `provides' in submakefiles are now really not forgotten

* version 0.77
** --fast is now `really' the default
** Renamed Makefile.oz to Makefiler.oz to avoid clash with makefile.oz on case
   insensitive systems
** fixed bug in --install version checking

* version 0.76
** ozmake --publish will now publish the package both under the bare filename
   derived from the mogul id and from the same augmented with the
   version number if any.
** ozmake --install will compare both version and date to determine if the
   package to be installed is newer than the installed
   version. version is more significant than date.
** --packageversion=VERSION is now respected by --extract and --install.
   when --extract downloads from the MOGUL archive, it will look for
   the given version of the package.  --install will signal an error
   if the package to be installed doesn't have the given version.
** --fast is now the default.  --slow gets back the old behaviour, just in
   case someone discovers a problem.
** version and requires now are actually put in the database

* version 0.75
** ozmake --create will now automatically pick a package filename if none
   is given: it will be formed using the mogul id and the version number
   if any.
** ozmake --mogul=export now checks that there is no section entry that
   has the same mogul id as a package or contact.
** more checks are applied to the `author' feature to make sure that
   they don't contain a stupid mistake
** order is now preserved in `requires'
** ozmake --extract -p MOG will now properly download the package denoted
   by mogul id MOG from the MOGUL archive (if it was published using
   ozmake --publish, i.e. follows the right naming convention).
** ozmake --fast will invoke the compiler module directly without spawning
   a new process each time.  This is easily 2 to 3 times faster.

* version 0.74
** `requires' field now properly saved in mogul.db and is properly exported
** pkg files are now compressed and much smaller
** makefiles now support the `provides' feature to override the default
   computed from the bin and lib features.  Note that the `provides' feature
   of a makefile does not also override its submakefiles; each one should
   supply its own `provides' if desired.  `provides:nil' is a simple way of
   indicating that the makefile provides no public functors or executables.

* version 0.73
** makefiles now support the 'contact' feature to specify MOGUL contact
   information:

       makefile(
         ...
         contact :
           o(
              mogul : 'mogul:/duchier/denys'
              name  : 'Denys Duchier'
              email : 'duchier@ps.uni-sb.de'
              www   : 'http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/~duchier/'))

   the value on the contact feature can also be a list of records as shown
   above.  A makefile with contact info need not also actually provide anything
   else (like modules): instead, it can be used to automatically generate MOGUL
   entries (see below).
** ozmake --mogul=... now permits to manage the MOGUL entries associated with
   packages you provide.
*** ozmake --mogul=put
    ozmake --mogul=put -p PKG
    update the user's database of own MOGUL contributions with current or
    given package
*** ozmake --mogul=delete
*** ozmake --mogul=delete -p PKG
*** ozmake --mogul=delete MOG1 ... MOGn
    delete some entries from the user's database of own MOGUL contributions
*** ozmake --mogul=list
*** ozmake --mogul=list MOG1 ... MOGn
    list all or the specified entries from the user's database of own MOGUL
    contributions
*** ozmake --mogul=export
    create all necessary MOGUL entries for download by the MOGUL librarian
** ozmake --config=(put|delete|list)
   the possible values were renamed to be similar to those for --mogul
** --publishdir is no longer supported, instead we have
   --moguldir    --mogulurl
   --moguldbdir  --moguldburl
   --mogulpkgdir --mogulpkgurl
   --moguldocdir --moguldocurl
** makefiles support the `tar' feature which should be a file extension
   or list of such taken from ['tgz' 'tar.gz' 'tar.Z'].  This is to
   support older contributions which cannot easily be converted to
   ozmake but which are nonetheless distributed in the form of
   tarballs.  You can write a makefile.oz for them and use this
   makefile only to generate the corresponding mogul entry:
      ozmake --mogul=put
   then export your updated mogul database explicitly
      ozmake --mogul=export

* version 0.72
** ozmake --config=... now permits to manage predefined defaults
   defaults can always be explicitly overriden on the command line
   ozmake --config=set --FEAT1=VAL1 --FEAT2=VAL2 ...
     saves the given defaults for those features (ignoring features
     for which defaults cannot be set)
   ozmake --config=unset FEAT1 FEAT2 ...
     removes defaults for these features
   ozmake --config=list
     lists the current defaults
** option --exe controls the name and platform of installed executables
   the convention on Windows is that executables have an .exe extension
   while on Unix there is normally no extension.
   --exe=default only installs executables using the platform's convention
   --exe=yes only installs executables with .exe extension
   --exe=no only installs executables without extension
   --exe=both installs both
   --exe=multi installs both, but the .exe one is linked for Windows
   while the no extension one is linked for Unix
** additional features supported in makefile.oz
   requires   : [ ... ] for dependencies on other packages
   categories : [ ... ] for MOGUL classification
   version    : ... a version number e.g. "2" or "3.2.7"
** --freshen upgrades only if necessary, and does not report an
   error if it is not necessary to upgrade
** ozmake --extract will exceptionally write a makefile.oz if none
   was included in the package.  This is for compatibility with
   packages created with earlier versions of ozmake.

* version 0.71
** ozmake --extract: default directory changed from current directory
   to subdirectory with name derived from the package mogul id
** makefiles are now textually included in packages
   the preprocessed makefile is now called MAKEPKG.oz and is
   only used when installing from a package file when not explitly
   disabled by the user with --nousemakepkg

* version 0.7n
** start recording changes between versions
** OZLOAD properly passed to sub ozc processes
** fixed date handling: unfortunately, this is an incompatible change
   all recorded package dates prior to this fix, where incorrect

* previous history not recorded
