himerge-0.20: ChangeLog

Himerge -- Haskell Interface for Emerge

-- version 0.20 (May, 01, 2008)

   1 - The queue operation 'add' is now available through a right-click from
   the browser version view for each package.
   2 - The queue operations 'remove/clear' are now available from each of the
   control panel package queue through a right-click.
   3 - A backup of all the system files used by himerge will be created inside
   the ~/.himerge/ directory.
   4 - The USE flag browser is highly-improved. A new browser constrcution
   mechanism speeds up the launch of the browser and shows a more organized and
   coherent framework, listing only the necessary flags boxes available for a
   given entity (a package or the whole system use flags).

-- version 0.18 (Apr, 01, 2008)

   1 - USE flag browser improved. It now shows use flags classified
   alphabetically on independent panels.
   2 - Himerge now correctly handles the reload procedure of portage during
   the installation of packages.
   3 - The tree views interface is slightly improved. Now the views are
   updated when pressing 'Enter' on each row too.
   4 - Some code refactored.

-- version 0.17.9 (Mar, 04, 2008)

   1 - The use flags browser has been improved to correctly parse certain use
   flags.
   2 - Himerge is now hackage compliant.

-- version 0.17.3 (Feb, 23, 2008)

   1 - Run update-eix after each Sync and Metadata updating operation, so the
   package database is automatically updated for the browser views and search
   functions.
   2 - Now the web package information window is updated on selecting packages
   from the different package queues and the package versions view.
   3 - A few functions have been refactored for reducing complexity of code.
   4 - A slight bug on showing a package action operation in the package queues 
   has been fixed.

-- version 0.17 (Feb, 9, 2008)

   1 - Allow full view of the control panel.
   2 - Added support to show the action type to be processed for each package
   inside the 'Queue' windows.
   3 - Fixed an important bug on the UseFlag browser.
   4 - Slightly improved some processes speed.
   5 - Cabal file improved so it can use the sdist cabal option for packaging.

-- version 0.16.1 (Jan, 15, 2008)

   1 - Fixed an important bug that stopped saving the panel pages.

-- version 0.16 (Jan, 14, 2008)

   1 - GHC 6.8 complaint.
   2 - Added the 'Portage Browser Operations' panel.
   3 - Added the 'Browser Editor' panel for editing the contents shown by the
   browser in a given time. This helps dealing with special cases like for
   example, accessing removed packages information from the portage tree.
   4 - Added the option to 'Refresh' the browser views.
   5 - Interactive searching enabled for the packages 'Queue' list. Now
   packages can be easily searched and located interactively from any queue
   list.
   6 - Text buffer operations improved. It avoids gtk+ warning about invalid
   iterators while updating text buffers.
   7 - Scroll to the current processed package in the 'Queue' lists.
   8 - Avoid the web browser panel to shrink smaller than its allowed size.
   This fixes a gtk+ warning.
   9 - Now Himerge allows to work with the branching operations
   keyword/mask/unmask over all the versions of a package at once.
   10 - Removed some un-used functions.

-- version 0.15 (Nov, 3, 2007)

   1 - Multi-Tab support added. This feature allows to show several panel
   pages (package queues, command views) for different processes at the same
   time.
   2 - Process handling support improved. Processes can now independently be stopped.
   3 - Log support added. Now himerge will log all (or most of) the operations
   in the new 'Log' panel page.
   4 - An important bug in the text buffers has been fixed.
   5 - Himerge now asks for confirmation for many essential operations.
   6 - Some code refactoring and small bugs fixes done.

-- version 0.14.7 (Sep, 29, 2007)

   1 - Package queue status notification added.
   2 - USE flag browser layout improved.
   3 - Package search feature is now more flexible. It can match exact package
   names or it can match all the packages containing a specific sub-string.
   4 - New button added to list all the current packages installed in the
   system. (portage-utils dependency introduced for this feature.)
   5 - Question dialogs added to confirm installation/un-installation operations.
   6 - Several slight bugs fixed.

-- version 0.14 (Sep, 07, 2007)

   1 - Tooltips added to the buttons's operations.
   2 - Support for /etc/portage/ directories. For example, now you can have
   package.keywords/ as a directory containing more files.
   3 - Added support for calculating the direct reverse dependencies of a
   package.
   4 - Now the views will scroll to the cell of a specific package when this
   one is found using the package search feature.
   5 - Now Himerge will automatically move and show the notebook pages
   when they are initially created with an operation.
   6 - Fixed an important bug that avoided finding the first packages in a
   treeview using the package search option.
   7 - The synchronization speed between the processes output and the current
   operations have been slightly improved.
   8 - Package search box improved with a dropdown list for search history.
   9 - Added a new accelerator to show documentation.
   10 - The USE flag browser has been improved to match correct local use
   flags option for a package.
   11 - Fixed an USE flag browser bug that made the browser crashes with output 
   containing an empty list.
   12 - Added the Himerge logo in some part of the application and components.
   13 - Some bugs fixed and slight code refactoring in several functions.
