+opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta3
+----------------------------
+
+Released: 2014-03-07
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+ * Make ob-genchanges only list .opk files that are built for the host
+ architecture and platform.
+ * Preserve file modification times, owners and groups, and modes in source
+ packages.
+ * Find packaging helpers at run time using helper configuration scripts
+ instead of at build time with configure options. As of version 3.0.0,
+ opkhelper provides such a helper configuration script.
+
+opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta2
+----------------------------
+
+Released: 2014-01-19
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+
+ * Fix minor issues in opkbuild and ob-applypatches that occur when updating
+ the "source" targets of some packages.
+ * Make ob-genchanges perform substitutions in package descriptions.
+ * Make ob-installdocs support patterns in *.pkg/docs.
+
+opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta1
+----------------------------
+
+Released: 2013-09-07
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+ * Fix ob-applypatches to work with BusyBox patch.
+ * Implement ob-genchanges.
+ * Remove _ob_local() and _ob_return() kludges and use the built-in local
+ utility instead.
+
+opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha5
+-----------------------------
+
+Released: 2013-06-16
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+ * Escape single quotes in substitution variable values.
+ * Exit on failure to parse package metadata.
+ * Fix "Bad binary package name" warning when there are no binary package
+ metadata directories.
+ * Fix output of changelog parsing errors.
+ * Set "Host-Arch" and "Host-Plat" substitution variables, which were recently
+ added to the SPF 2.0 specification.
+ * Make build system non-recursive and faster.
+ * Centralize build system logic into the top-level input makefile to make the
+ build system smaller and more easily maintainable.
+ * Distribute the "mksysconf.in" input makefile. Previously this was missing
+ from the tar archives.
+ * Better handle unrecognized options to configure.
+ * Fix some issues with fakeroot option handling.
+
+opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha4
+-----------------------------
+
+Released: 2012-11-16
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+ * Make ob-unpacksource not consider a lack of sources to be an error.
+ * Support the use of multiple build helpers.
+ * Move _ob_dep_arch_is_concerned() and _ob_dep_plat_is_concerned() to the
+ public API.
+ * Support negation in binary package "Architecture" fields.
+ * Optionally reduce platforms in ob_get_binary_packages().
+ * Make ob-unpacksource work on tar archives without explicit entries for
+ directories.
+ * Don't print an error when there's no substvars file.
+ * Set an "OPK_TOOL_PREFIX" environment variable (needed for packages that use
+ kbuild).
+ * Remove code related to the table of upstream build system architectures.
+ * Replace testsetup.sh with a slightly better "mksysconf" makefile.
+ * Add some error handling to opkbuild.
+ * Reduce platforms for OPK_PACKAGES.
+
+opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha3
+-----------------------------
+
+Released: 2012-10-26
+
+Changes in this release:
+
+ * Fix the creation of source package documentation directories.
+ * Fix license information in opkbuild and configure output messages and
+ testsetup.sh source code.
+ * Add the build helper directory to the beginning, rather than the end, of
+ PATH. This should prevent the unintended use of old versions of build
+ helper utilities.
+ * Fix and improve ob-installplatconf.
+ * Reduce binary package relationship fields in ob-gencontrol.
+ * Support substitution variables in control field values.
+ * Fix quotes in the "install" target of man/Makefile.in.
+ * Better support multiple invocations of ob-unpacksource and ob-installdocs.
+ * Reduce platform specifiers in dependency strings.
+ * Support comments in control files.
+
+opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha2
+-----------------------------

+Changes in this release:
+
+ * Don't rely on POSIX-conformant parsing of makefile comments.
+ * Make ob-gencontrol write "Platform" and "Maintainer" fields.
+ * Fix names of opk files written by ob-buildopk.
+ * Get an "Uploader", not "Maintainer", field from SPF 2.0 changelogs.
+ * Make testsetup.sh print informational and error messages.
+ * Additionally license everything for use under the terms of the GNU GPL
+ version 2.0.
+

+ * Split the core distribution build system into its own package.
+ * Provide a fairly well-designed library, libopkbuild, with an API that is
+ to be stable and versioned.
+ * Rewrite build system.
+ * Internationalize messages.
+ * Write unit tests for some library functions.
+ * Support source package formats and distribution metadata through plugins.
+ * Support SPF 2.0.
+ * Heavily refactor utilities.
+ * Set up package build helpers (currently only opkhelper-3.0).
