Make 10.34.0 release

2018-12-15T21:04:44Z

menuconfig: Add show-help mode

2018-12-15T20:59:05Z

Pressing F toggles show-help mode, where the help window at the bottom displays the help text of the currently selected item, if any. Can be handy when browsing through symbols. Also mention the different modes that are available in the module docstring.

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()")
