Version 0.21

This release brings us much closer to a 1.0 release. Many long-standing issues
have been addressed and the usage of repoctl has been improved in several
significant ways.

First of all, our landing page has been rewritten, so scan that
and see if you can learn something useful!

• New: support configuration profiles. See conf command
  for configuration help and -P (--profile) flag for
  choosing the profile. (This resolves issue #23)
• New: full completion support for Bash, Zsh, and Fish shells.
• New: conf command added, with the following subcommands:
  new, edit, show, and migrate.
• New: search command learned -i (--info) flag, to show
  as much information in search results as possible.
• New: search command learned -b as an alias for --sort-by.
• New: query command added, to retrieve all metadata on a package in AUR.
• Remove: --backup and --backup-dir have been removed,
  in favor of using profiles to configure these settings.
• Remove: new command removed in favor of conf and reset.
• Remove: action_on_complete configuration item has been removed,
  since this causes too many problems.
• Remove: unconfigured configuration item is no longer needed (issue #53).
• Update: make output more consistent.
• Update: improve debugging, usage, and error output.
• Update: search command flag --quiet renamed to --raw.
• Update: reset command can initialize a repository now.
  This is also the recommended procedure for creating a new repository.
• Update: configuration is no longer required when it is not needed.
• Update: radically improve speed of reading directory of packages,
  which is relevant for status, update, list and down -u commands.
• Update: Streamline repository structure.
• Fix: issue #37, make backup directory if it does not exist.
• Fix: issue #52, gz, xz, bz2, and zst database compressions supported now.
• Fix: issue #57, no more errors reading zst-compressed packages.
• Fix: abort commands that modify the database when it is locked.
• Fix: only query AUR for packages when necessary.

Version 0.20

This release fixes some bugs and adds searching capability to repoctl.

• New: search command added.
• New down command learned -n (--dry-run) option.
• Update: new config command now backs up existing configuration files.
• Update: github.com/goulash/pacman dependency moved into repository.
• Bugfix: version command does not show entire configuration.
• Bugfix: issue #46, do not panic or print errors with large repos.
• Bugfix: issue #33, recursive download and dependency resolution broken.

Version 0.19

This release fixes several bugs and adds support for signatures and Zst
compression.

This release comes a lot later than planned. In the future, I will try to release more often rather than try to bundle changes and fixes together.

• New: repoctl can find and add signature files that accompany packages.
• New: add command learned -l (--link) option.
• New: add command learned -r (--require-signature) option.
• New: update command learned -r (--require-signature) option.
• New: configuration file gained require_signature field.
• New: support Zstandard compression for packages.
• Update: print entire error message when system command fails.
• Update: issue #34, list command learned -r (--registered) option.
• Bugfix: issue #35, in which signature files are recognized as package
  files and are attempted to be read.
• Bugfix: issue #36, do not abort download when some packages not on AUR.
• Bugfix: issue #47, do not mishandle files compressed with Zstandard.

Version 0.18

This release adds an alternate way to deal with obsolete package files, for
better interoperability with tools like paccache
(see Issue #30 for the discussion; many thanks to @maximbaz).

When backup is enabled and the backup directory resolves to the repository
directory, then package files are ignored instead of moved or deleted.
You can make this permanent in the configuration:

backup = true
backup_dir = ""

When this is set, you need to pass --backup=false to get repoctl to ever
remove the package files, such as when using repoctl remove pkgname.

Other minor changes include:

• New: status command learned -c (--cached)
• Update: pruning the set of debug messages printed with --debug.
• Bugfix: pull request #31, which fixed add_params and rm_params parsing
  in the configuration file (contributed by @maximbaz).
  Previously, these were incorrectly parsed in the singular tense.

Version 0.17

This release adds dependency resolution for the down command
and fixes a bug that occurs when trying to update a repository that
has more than 250 packages.

• New: down command learned -r and -o flags that resolve dependencies
  and write a recommended order of compilation for any downloaded packages.
• Bugfix: issue #28, in which AUR queries for a local database with more
  than 250 packages failed.
• Update: better error messages when pre/post command actions fail.
• Update: somewhat improved zsh completion (contributed by KoHcoJlb).
• New: generated bash completion via the cobra library.

Version 0.16

This release adds action hooks to the configuration, and shows the configuration
when the version command is used.

• New: pre_action and post_action string options have been added to the
  configuration. These commands are run in a local shell. They can be used
  to mount a remote filesystem where the database is located and dismount
  it afterwards.
• Change: version command prints the values of the active configuration.
• Change: new config command doesn't try to be smart about database
  extension anymore. It's just confusing.
• Update: removing unnecessary error messages during repository creation.

Version 0.15

This release adds regex filtering support to the list command. A small
bug in the status command has been fixed, as well as with the pacman library.
Nothing major however.

• New: list command learned to filter with regex argument
• Bugfix: status -m does not read AUR
• Bugfix: reading repository without database failing
• Update: documentation of list command improved
• Update: vendored libraries have been updated
