ProteanOS Development Kit version 1.2.0
---------------------------------------

Released: ????-??-??

Changes in this release:

  * A basic "/etc/group" file is now generated on ProteanOS systems.
  * "prokit install" now only throws a "Directory ... exists" error if
    the specified root directory is not empty.
  * "prokit install" in the ProteanOS profile now only copies
    "/etc/resolv.conf" and "/etc/hostname" from the host system if the
    platform is "dev".  It also now does not enable system services on
    the "dev" platform.  On other platforms, it enables services and
    sets the hostname to "proteanos".
  * "prokit install", "prokit shell", "prokit opkg", and "prokit build"
    now accept either a block device file name or a directory name
    (previously only accepting the latter).  A block device is
    automatically mounted and unmounted on a mount point managed by
    prokit.
  * Two bugs related to gzip-compressed package feed index files have
    been fixed.
  * ProteanOS package feed index files are now downloaded in compressed
    form.
  * A list of valid ProteanOS architectures and platforms is no longer
    hardcoded.  This list could become outdated between prokit versions
    or even ProteanOS suites.

ProteanOS Development Kit version 1.1.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2014-10-08

Changes in this release:

  * The previously missing prokit-install(8) manual page is now
    distributed and installed.
  * Some logic of "prokit install" has been simplified as ProteanOS
    packages now have the necessary data files and control fields.
  * "prokit build" now parses substvars files without errors.
  * The current working directory is bind mounted within the isolated
    file system environment and used as the working directory for the
    "prokit shell" and "prokit opkg" commands.
  * Compatibility with older versions of opkbuild has been dropped.
    Before running "prokit build", make sure your ProteanOS system has
    version 3.0.0~beta6-1 or later of the opkbuild package.
  * The list of mirrors has been updated.  Thanks to Morten 'Jobbe'
    Jakobsen for providing another mirror.
  * Session management has been added to allow multiple instances of
    prokit to run simultaneously.  The first instance started will mount
    the basic file systems, and the last instance exited will unmount
    them.  A mutex is used to eliminate race conditions on changes to
    the sessions pool.
  * Whitespace in arguments to "prokit shell" and "prokit build" is now
    preserved.
  * Signals are handled during active sessions with callbacks for the
    "prokit opkg" and "prokit build" commands, to ensure that the
    isolated file system environment is left in a clean state when a
    signal like SIGINT (Ctrl+C) is received.

ProteanOS Development Kit version 1.0.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2014-09-02

Changes in this release:

  * A new "prokit opkg" command has been added.
  * A new "prokit build" command has been added.
  * "prokit shell" now accepts optional command arguments.
  * Manual pages for prokit commands that require superuser privileges
    have been moved to section 8.

ProteanOS Development Kit version 0.1.0
---------------------------------------

Released: 2014-08-26

This is the initial release of the ProteanOS Development Kit, in
development since 2013-10-22.

This is a preview release for testing, providing only the "install" and
"shell" action commands.  Currently, prokit approximately matches
miniprokit in features, though the latter is still recommended for
normal use.
