ProteanOS Archive Manager version 2.0.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2019-04-14

This version of pro-archman has been in development since 2017-07-22.

Dependencies:

  * pro-archman now requires OpenWrt's usign utility, which generates
    ed25519 keys and signatures compatible with OpenBSD's signify
    utility.  An embedded copy of usign is included, or a system copy
    can be used instead.

New features:

  * "Packages" index files are now signed with a usign key if a new
    "conf_key" configuration variable is set.
  * A new "sign" command has been added to force re-signing of all
    "Packages" index files, for example to transition to a new key.

Build system:

  * The old and hard-to-maintain custom build system has been replaced
    with one generated with GNU Autoconf and Automake.
    - Out-of-tree builds are now supported.
  * The build system now links all shell objects into the pro-archman
    executable instead of distributing shell modules that are linked
    into pro-archman at run time.
  * Git commit information is now shown in "pro-archman version" output
    and manual pages if built from a Git repository.
  * Executing pro-archman in-place from the build directory without
    installation no longer requires the `ARCHMAN_LIBDIR` and
    `ARCHMAN_LOCALEDIR` environment variables to be set.
  * A test suite has been added to automatically verify pro-archman's
    functionality.

ProteanOS Archive Manager version 1.4.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2015-05-25

Changes in this release:

  * A new "Manifests" file is generated to list architectures,
    platforms, and sections in a suite.
  * The "include" command no longer prints a list of included files.
    This was a minor bug introduced in version 1.1.0.
  * "Packages" index files are now compressed with gzip if a new
    "conf_gzip" configuration variable (default: true) is set.

ProteanOS Archive Manager version 1.3.1
---------------------------------------

Released: 2014-05-02

Changes in this release:

  * pro-archman now properly exits when an error occurs in a subshell.
  * The "include" and "process-incoming" commands now print a warning
    and skip the changes file when no package files are found.

ProteanOS Archive Manager version 1.3.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2014-05-01

Changes in this release:

  * A new "conf_verbose" configuration variable and "-v" option have
    been added to control the verbosity of informational output.
  * Garbage collection now works.
  * The "process-incoming" command no longer prints odd warnings when
    including new source versions of packages.

ProteanOS Archive Manager version 1.2.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2014-03-07

Changes in this release:

  * A new "SHA256sum" field is now written to "Packages" index files.

ProteanOS Archive Manager version 1.1.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2013-10-13

Changes in this release:

  * The "process-incoming" command now removes processed files.
  * All output is now sent to stderr.  (Previously, only some of it
    was.)
  * An example archive "conf" file is now provided in the source tree.
  * A new "version" command and "-V" option have been added.
  * Options are now documented in the help output and manual page.
  * Database locking is no longer attempted when only the "help" command
    is run.

ProteanOS Archive Manager version 1.0.0

Released: 2013-09-10

This is the initial release of the ProteanOS Archive Manager, in
development since at least 2013-07-10.
