News for Waf

This file lists the major changes between versions. For a more detailed list of every change, see the Git log.

Latest

  • Patch: Remember to detach logger in project_version.
  • Minor: Added project_version as a function on the Context object.
  • Patch: Added dependency paths for resolve conflicts.
  • Patch: Fix --no_resolve option.
  • Minor: Change output so that the resolve path is printed instead of the default resolve path.
  • Patch: Fix bug where setting the user path would persist and cause later calls to configure to fail.
  • Patch: Fixed file hashing function.
  • Minor: Changed configure output to make it easier to see what version is being used.
  • Minor: Changed Git to also return remote branches when listing branches.
  • Major: Changed how dependencies are resolved. All git repositories will contain a folder called default which will point to the default branch. Branches will be stored in branch-[branch-name] folders. All other checkouts will be the commit id of the checkout limited to 10 characters.
  • Major: Removed tag database and by extension the ExistingTagResolver.
  • Major: Use lock files (if present) in dependencies when resolving.
  • Major: Removed the override attribute.
  • Major: Changed the optional attribute to mean that the dependency can be enabled or disabled by the user. This is useful for dependencies that are only required for certain features or on certain platforms.
  • Patch: Fixed bug in UrlDownload where some file downloads would result in a 403 error due to the user-agent not being set.
  • Major: Removed add_dependency from the context, as all dependencies must now be added in the resolve.json file.
  • Patch: Fixed issue where 'resolve' was not utilizing the lock paths or versions file.
  • Major: Removed support for multiple sources for the same dependency. The support for sources is still there, but only the first source will be used.
  • Major: Removed fast-resolve option as this behavior should now be covered by the use of lock files.
  • Minor: Allow locking the paths using the locked versions.
  • Major: Split lock_resolve.json into two separate lock files, one for versions and one for paths.
  • Patch: Fixed bug that caused the lock_resolve.json to not be used correctly.
  • Patch: Fixed bug that caused --lock_versions to fail when using in combination with ExistingTagResolver.
  • Minor: Add better error messages for mismatched dependencies.
  • Minor: Recursively pull submodules
  • Minor: Adding ensure_build function to Waf's Context object.
  • Minor: Added a pip_compile helper function on Waf's Context object.
  • Minor: Added support for .wurf_config. This allows changing the default resolve path.
  • Minor: Do not rewrite git protocol if fully specified
  • Minor: Fix Windows support
  • Patch: Fix bug when using virtualenv for virtual environments.
  • Patch: Move the rewrite_file helper to all contexts (before it was only available in the build context).
  • Patch: Added the '--force' flag to the git checkout command.
  • Major: Made recursion of build dependencies optional using a variable set in the wscript file, NO_RECURSE. This is True by default, and can be overridden by setting it to False in the wscript file.

6.0.0

  • Minor: Change location of tag registry.
  • Major: Rename Error to WurfError to make it's origin more obvious.
  • Minor: Added --skip_internal option which allows the user to skip internal dependencies when resolving.
  • Major: Updated to waf 2.0.22
  • Major: Make resolve symlinks relative.
  • Minor: Added support for git_protocol ssh://git@ (used when "cloning" with pip).
  • Minor: Added support for custom git_protocols.
  • Patch: Recurse dependencies of dependencies before the dependency.
  • Major: Change the default interpreter to python3
  • Patch: Fix resolve such that it won't run twice when invoked explicitly.
  • Minor: Allow resolve without configuration, by calling python waf resolve.
  • Minor: Added registry for the OptionsContext - this allows us to build git helpers etc.
  • Minor: Adding helper functionality for rewriting files. This is useful when releasing projects and some files need to be updated programmatically.
  • Minor: Added git checkout resolver which will reuse previously checked out checkouts, and thereby making the configure step faster.
  • Patch: Fix dependency_node(..) function to work with unicode strings.
  • Major: Upgraded to virtualenv 16.4.3. The option --no-site-packages was deprecated and replaced with --system-site-packages. Which is now reflected in the API to create virtualenvs.
  • Major: Removed pip_local_download, pip_local_install, pip_install from the virtualenv implementation. Users might as well directly call run with the appropriate command.
  • Major: Prevent creation of virtualenv in build folder
  • Patch: Make the virtualenv clone shallow.
  • Major: Remove the explicit dependency on virtualenv. Instead we will automatically download the virtualenv dependency.
  • Minor: Updated waf to 2.0.10.
  • Patch: Hide the output of the mklink command on Windows when calling the create_symlink function (the output is logged when an error occurs)
  • Minor: Allow persistent virtualenv
  • Minor: Added capability to prevent git dependencies from pulling submodules.
  • Minor: Added Context dependency_node() function to return a waf node to a dependency. Making it easy to use Waf's ant_glob(...) function.
  • Major: Updated the create_virtualenv(...) function for virtual environments.
  • Minor: Added the clang_compilation_database tool.
  • Minor: Add symlink in source folder to the current build folder. The symlink called 'build_current' will point to Waf's build folder.
  • Patch: Move recurse_dependencies() to Waf's execute_build() function. Since this is known to only be called once. This eliminates using the is_toplevel to avoid infinite recursion.
  • Patch: Refactor symlink code into a standalone utility. This makes it reusable by other tools which need to make symlinks.
  • Patch: Update to newest pytest-testdirectory plugin
  • Minor: Adding override attribute.
  • Minor: Added post_resolve.
  • Minor: Use a version of python-archive which preserves file permissions.
  • Minor: Added exceptions for accidental empty options.
  • Major: Full rewrite of our Waf dependency resolve code.
  • Minor: Support for new resolver options.
  • Minor: Adding support for resolve.json files.
  • Minor: Updated waf to 1.9.8.
  • Minor: Allow arbitrary git providers in wurf_dependency_resolve.
  • Minor: Allow optional dependencies that might not be resolved if they are unavailable to the user.
  • Minor: Allow option arguments without the = sign for the options that are defined and used in the resolve step (--%s-path and --%s-use-checkout).
  • Patch: Reversed dependency build order.

5.0.0

  • Major: Added wurf_options to allow the definition of options in dependencies.
  • Major: Dependencies are resolved recursively in the resolve step.
  • Major: wurf_tools was replaced by wurf_common_tools that loads the commonly used tools automatically.
  • Minor: Updated waf to 1.8.14.
  • Minor: Updated waf to 1.8.8.
  • Patch: Moved Waf submodule from Google Code to Github. Run git submodule sync to update your existing repository.

4.1.0

  • Patch: Do not pull the dependency right after cloning it.
  • Minor: Changed behavior of dependency resolver when choosing git protocol. Git protocol of parent project is used if supported, but falls back on https:// if the protocol is unsupported. Protocol can still be specified through command line option.
  • Minor: Added "ALL" as the default value for the bundle option.

4.0.1

  • Patch: Fixed unnecessary need for specifying explicit dependency paths

4.0.0

  • Minor: Updated waf to 1.7.12
  • Major: Enabled custom git checkout of dependencies

3.0.0

  • Patch: Fixed Python3.x support, broken include statement
  • Minor: Added wurf_waf_unit_test tool
  • Minor: Added wurf_protoc & wurf_proto_cxx tools for protobuf support

1.0.0

  • Minor: Added new tool for following git dependencies. Supports dependency resolving based on Semantic Versioning (semver.org)
  • Patch: Added simple tests of the build tools
