Hi all,
As people have been requesting this, I've created a tag today for the
latest dev snapshot.
The main changes outlined in the news are:
==================
buildstream 1.93.6
==================
Format
------
o The `script` element no longer has a `layout` configuration directly, and
now
exposes a new `location` dependency configuration instead.
o The BuildElement now has a new `location` dependency configuration, allowing
BuildElement plugins to also stage dependencies into custom locations in
the sandbox.
o BREAKING CHANGE: Stack element dependencies are now hard required to be
both build and runtime dependencies.
o BREAKING CHANGE: The old and deprecated "remote-execution" configuration
style
is no longer supported, one must now specify the "execution-service" block
and cannot specify a "url" in the "remote-execution" dictionary anymore.
o BREAKING CHANGE: Full redesign of remote cache configurations, junction
configurations related to artifact pulling/pushing policies have been
removed, users will need to view the new documentation and update
cache configuration accordingly.
Core
----
o BuildStream now also supports Python 3.9.
o BREAKING CHANGE: Changed API signatures to remove Scope type from the API
- Element.dependencies()
- Element.stage_dependency_artifacts()
- Element.search()
Elements now can only ever see dependencies in their build scope.
* BREAKING CHANGE: Changed ScriptElement.layout_add() API to take Element
instances
in place of Element names
CLI
---
o BREAKING CHANGE: `bst shell --use-buildtree` is now a boolean flag.
`--use-buildtree=ask` and `--use-buildtree=try` are no longer supported.
o BREAKING CHANGE: `--remote` options removed, replaced by
`--artifact-remote` or `--source-remote`
o BREAKING CHANGE: All old obsolete/deprecated commands removed, including:
- bst fetch (now bst source fetch)
- bst track (now bst source track)
- bst checkout (now bst artifact checkout)
- bst pull (now bst artifact pull)
- bst push (now bst artifact push)
Cheers,
-Tristan
