-----------------
Notes here are a consolidation of all changes between 1.21.14 and 2.0.0.
Enhancements:
-------------
* Increase placeholder path to 255 bytes (affects only Linux/Mac. Packages need to be rebuilt to support longer embedded paths) 877
* Configuration is local, passed via config argument. No more global config. 953
* Created Python API in conda_build/api.py 953
* Separate build folders per-build to allow parallelism 953
* Add locking to allow safe parallelism 953
* Add build flag to turn off separate build folders (--no-build-id) 953
* Much greater test coverage across all modules 953
* Add CONDA_BUILD_STATE variable that reflects RENDER, BUILD, or TEST state of build 1232
* Add support for HG_ variables in meta.yaml templates (for hg repos) 207 1234
* Add source_files test argument in meta.yaml to copy files from source into test 1237
* add a numpy.distutils patch to jinja templating, so that fortran projects using numpy can also use jinja2 (thanks bladwig1) 1252
* Ensure that the build environment is on PATH during all tooling and testing 1256
* Make failure due to pip requirements in meta.yaml clearer 1279
* Allow API to accept either paths to meta.yaml files or MetaData objects, for better compatibility 1281
* Implement tests to verify api stability 1283
* Add build/noarch to recipe metadata. Use for truly platform independent packages - same folder in every install. 1285
Bug fixes:
----------
* Fix error converting linux to win packages due to python version mismatch 481
* Fix infinite loop that occurred with circular dependencies being built 953
* Improve test data structures to allow profiling with pytest-profiling 953
* Fix version sorting in pypi skeleton generator 1238
* improve backwards compatibility* prefix build and test envs with _, so that conda can be installed in them 1242
* fix bdist_conda; add smoke test for it to Travis 1243
* fix windows entry points (duplicate bad logic) 1246
* fix inspect entry point in embedded conda.recipe 1251
* create build environment before looking for VCS in it. 1253
* fix a deadlock with recursive environment creation on encountering packages with short prefixes 1257
with conda commands 1259
* only compile pyc files if python is in the build prefix 1261
* remove exception catch-all in build CLI, to show actual errors more 1262
* specify full paths to activate scripts to avoid PATH conflicts with virtualenv 1266
* clean up remnants of pipbuild 1267
* remove pyc files from any source_files arguments to test in meta.yaml (avoid __file__ errors) 1272
* copy files and folders when breaking hardlinks (rather than renaming) to avoid cross-filesystem errors 1273
* add Scripts folder to prepended binary paths searched on Windows 1276
* update MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET hard-coded value to 10.7 (better fix soon) 1278
* disallow backslashes in meta.yaml fields describing paths (e.g. always_include_files) 1280
* prevent GIT_* env vars from containing newlines 1282
* restore prefix-lengths inspect command (lost in merging) 1283
Restructuring:
--------------
* CLI scripts have been gutted and moved to conda_build/cli. Content from them is in
conda_build, in scripts without main_ prefix. 953
* Skeleton generators have been broken out of main_skeleton.py, and consolidated into
conda_build/skeletons. The contents of this folder are examined at runtime for pluggability. 953
