Make 10.32.0 release

2018-12-08T04:06:55Z

- Commit 3cc2f9f ("listnewconfig: Add script") adds 'make listnewconfig' functionality. The new script is bundled in the pip install. - Commit 78073d6 ("Preserve symlinks when writing .config.old files") avoids stomping on symlinks when writing configuration files.

Mirrors 'make listnewconfig' in the C tools.

Make 10.31.0 release

2018-12-08T02:30:05Z

Adds two improvements related to configuration files: - Commit 166be7d ("Save existing configuration to ..old in write_config()") - Commit 7b4f72f ("Make {load,write}_config(filename=None) implement the standard behavior")

Make {load,write}_config(filename=None) implement the standard behavior

2018-12-08T02:28:52Z

Make the previously obligatory 'filename' argument to load_config() and write_config() default to None, and have that implement the behavior you'd usually want: read/write either KCONFIG_CONFIG or ".config" if unset, and read the 'option defconfig_list' configuration file if KCONFIG_CONFIG/".config" doesn't exist. For load_config(), filename=None also allows the configuration file to be missing without raising an error. load_config() returns True if a local configuration file was loaded, which is useful to check in the menuconfig (if no local configuration file exists, we always want to prompt for saving the configuration when exiting). Also add a 'verbose' argument (default True) to load_config() and read_config() that makes them print which files were read/written in filename=None mode. Also generalize olddefconfig.py and oldconfig.py to not require there to already be a local configuration file. This was a bit silly for olddefconfig.py in particular. Remove the examples/defconfig.py script. It's a duplicate of olddefconfig.py.

Make 10.30.0 release

2018-12-01T16:30:17Z

Adds a small incremental building improvement: commit a4751b5 ("Flag removed symbols as changed in sync_deps()")

Make 10.29.0 release

Adds commit 567cccf ("Tighten up help text parsing"), which improves parsing performance slightly.

Make 10.28.0 release

2018-11-28T15:16:46Z

Adds commit b3f0061 ("menuconfig: Only list duplicated choice symbols once"), which improves the behavior of the menuconfig interface for an obscure situation involving named choices included multiple times.

Make 10.27.0 release

2018-11-26T04:45:25Z

Adds some small performance optimizations: - Commit 120f551 ("Speed up more token membership tests") - Commit bb7044c ("Reorder some tuples to put y first")

Recommend Python 3

2018-11-26T04:44:52Z

Python 3.7 has finally caught up with Python 2.7 performance-wise.
