2018-11-17Make 10.22.0 releasev10.22.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit b65baa4 ("Add support for KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG"), which allows particular symbol values to be forced during all{def,no,mod,yes}config.
2018-11-07Make 10.21.0 releasev10.21.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds two small library/menuconfig improvements: - Commit 7992519 ("Always strip trailing whitespace in 'MenuNode.help' and __str__()") tightens up the format of strings a bit, and documents it. - Commit b810bda ("menuconfig: Support HOME and END in the jump-to dialog") adds support for some keys that were missing from the jump-to dialog.
2018-11-04Make 10.20.0 releasev10.20.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds a small menuconfig improvement: Commit 35af004 ("menuconfig: Move cursor to choice selection when entering choices").
2018-11-02Make 10.19.1 releasev10.19.1Ulf Magnusson
Adds fixes for two obscure crashes, related to consecutive empty if's and toggling symbols without a type in the menuconfig: - Commit 0e6cd82 ("Fix removal of multiple consecutive 'if' nodes") - Commit db60270 ("menuconfig: Fix crash when toggling symbols without a type")
2018-11-01Make 10.19.0 releasev10.19.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 8be38f2 ("Don't show backtraces for expected exceptions in tools"), which hides backtraces for expected errors from tools (like Kconfig syntax errors and missing files).
2018-10-31Make 10.18.0 releasev10.18.0Ulf Magnusson
Commit 14603c0 ("Make errno/strerror/filename available on IOError") makes IOError/OSError.errno/strerror/filename available to scripts, when it is raised from e.g. Kconfig.load_config(). Previously, some implementation trickery related to custom exception messages meant that they weren't available.
2018-10-26Make 10.17.0 releasev10.17.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 699fd81 ("Support enabling the assignment-to-undef. symbol warning via the environment"). This makes it possible to enable the warning for assigning an undefined symbol within a .config file, while using the bundled tools. Previously, enabling the warning required modifying the tools to call Kconfig.enable_undef_warnings().
2018-10-26Support enabling the assignment-to-undef. symbol warning via the environmentUlf Magnusson
This makes it possible to enable it for the bundled tools, by setting KCONFIG_WARN_UNDEF_ASSIGN=y. Previously, the code had to be modified to call Kconfig.enable_undef_warnings(). Also rename KCONFIG_STRICT to KCONFIG_WARN_UNDEF, for consistency. Keep supporting KCONFIG_STRICT as an alias for backwards compatibility.
2018-10-22Make 10.16.0 releasev10.16.0Ulf Magnusson
- Commit 85ba6b2 ("menuconfig: Mention jump-to in info dialog help") makes it a bit easier to discover that jump-to can be entered from the info dialog. - Commit d920dbe ("Use standard_sc_expr_str() in _name_and_loc()") makes named choices show up as '<choice NAME>' in warnings, instead of just as 'NAME'. Some small parsing optimizations are included as well.
2018-10-21Make 10.15.0 releasev10.15.0Ulf Magnusson
- Commit 9a4127a ("Allow programmatically expanding preprocessor functions with args") adds a Variable.expanded_value_w_args() function for calling preprocessor functions programmatically. Not being able to pass arguments to Variable.expanded_value was an oversight. - Commit 516deb4 ("menuconfig: Show the selected symbol for promptless choices") makes menuconfig show the selected symbol next to promptless choices in show-all mode. This is relevant for named choices defined in multiple locations. Some minor parsing optimizations are included as well.
2018-10-16Make 10.14.3 releasev10.14.3Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 98af94d ("Make Kconfig.choices match its description"). Previously, Kconfig.choices was accidentally identical to Kconfig.unique_choices. It's now crappy as advertised, and keeps duplicates. Removing duplicates (while preserving order) was the original reason for adding Kconfig.unique_defined_syms and Kconfig.unique_choices. It'd be rare to need Kconfig.choices.
2018-10-14Make 10.14.2 releasev10.14.2Ulf Magnusson
Adds two small menuconfig improvements/fixes: - Commit 9a7b374 ("menuconfig: Fix some minor resizing jumpiness on gnome-terminal") - Commit 3d0dc9f ("menuconfig: Switch back to "very visible" cursor after Ctrl-F")
2018-10-14Link ACRNUlf Magnusson
2018-10-14Make 10.14.1 releasev10.14.1Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 63bbecb ("menuconfig: Fix crash when pressing Ctrl-F with no matches in jump-to dialog"). Ctrl-F is the view-help shortcut in the jump-to dialog.
2018-10-14Make 10.14.0 releasev10.14.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds two menuconfig improvements and a documentation improvement: - Commit 96682d7 ("menuconfig: Add jump-to for choices, menus, and comments") generalizes the jump-to feature so that choices, menus, and comments can be jumped to in addition to symbols (or into, in the case of choices and menus). - Commit fae2e70 ("menuconfig: Do not show range hint for symbols without ranges") despams the menuconfig interface and could potentially avoid some confusion. - Commit bde4cc7 ("Add some hints re. generating custom configuration output") adds some documentation hints re. using the Symbol.config_string field when generating custom output. It can be useful for pruning symbols even when the output format isn't .config-like.
2018-10-13Add some hints re. generating custom configuration outputUlf Magnusson
It's not obvious that Symbol.config_string can be useful even when generating other output formats, as it provides a hook for _write_to_conf. Mention it in the 'config_string' documentation and in relevant parts of the README.
2018-10-10Make 10.13.0 releasev10.13.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit a247f3f ("menuconfig: Improve/fix promptless choice handling"), which fixes an obscure menuconfig crash involving symbols in promptless choices, and improves how choices are displayed in show-all/show-name mode a bit ('<choice (name, if any)>' instead of either nothing or '<name>').
2018-10-06Make 10.12.0 releasev10.12.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit f1e4d04 ("menuconfig: Remove "Value for " prefix from input dialog titles"), which de-spams the menuconfig interface a bit. Some documentation fixes and improvements are included as well: - Commit 631c51f ("Point to IS_ENABLED() is README") - Commit f594975 ("Add hints on incremental building to 'getting started'") - Commit d044ee9 ("Clarify --config-out description a bit") - Commit 358b77a ("Hint that load_config() with replace=False is for merging") - Commit 5d15df9 ("Update genconfig usage description") The naming in some internal evaluation functions was cleaned up too.

2018-10-06Add hints on incremental building to 'getting started'Ulf Magnusson
2018-10-06Point to IS_ENABLED() is READMEUlf Magnusson
Might be tricky to discover.
2018-10-04Fix link to kconfig-language.txt in how-toUlf Magnusson
The link accidentally went to kconfig-macro-language.txt.
2018-10-03Clarify --config-out description a bitUlf Magnusson
2018-10-03README language nitUlf Magnusson
Remove some parentheses.
2018-10-03Make 10.11.0 releasev10.11.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 4602028 ("genconfig: Allow writing a full .config without incremental build info"), which adds a flag to genconfig that might be handy in projects that include .config files in Makefiles but that don't use incremental build information.
2018-10-03genconfig: Allow writing a full .config without incremental build infoUlf Magnusson
For projects that don't use incremental build information, it's a bit wasteful to generate it just to get an updated .config file to include in Makefiles. Add a '--config-out <filename>' option that just writes the updated .config file, for those cases. Also remove a redundant default=None argument for --sync-deps. None is the default value.
2018-10-03Clarify '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' in how-toUlf Magnusson
2018-10-03Make 10.10.2 releasev10.10.2Ulf Magnusson
Just adds commit 4af2ac3 ("Actually fix README RST display on PyPI").
2018-10-03Actually fix README RST display on PyPIUlf Magnusson
Use anonymous hyperlinks to avoid having two links named 'Kconfig', like in commit fe28703 ("Fix README RST display on PyPI").
2018-10-03Make 10.10.1 releasev10.10.1Ulf Magnusson
Just adds commit fe28703 ("Fix README RST display on PyPI").
2018-10-03Fix README RST display on PyPIUlf Magnusson
Use anonymous hyperlinks to avoid having two links named 'here', which RST apparently doesn't like. Related: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5464627/how-to-have-same-text-in-two-links-with-restructured-text/14067756
2018-10-03Make 10.10.0 releasev10.10.0Ulf Magnusson
Gets the README updated from commit 534e3e7 ("Add a 'getting started' section to the README") up on PyPI.
2018-10-03Fix is/if typo in READMEUlf Magnusson
2018-10-03Mention that pip3 is needed for menuconfigUlf Magnusson
2018-10-03Add a 'getting started' section to the READMEUlf Magnusson
Might make it clearer how the different parts fit together. Also mention that deps/auto.conf can be used as Make input, and that it's preferable to using .config. This is hard to discover on your own.
2018-10-03Make 10.9.3 releasev10.9.3Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 21e47ce ("Fix parse error message on the line after help texts"), which fixes incorrect line contents being reported for parse errors on the line after a help text.
2018-10-02Link olddefconfig.py in the READMEUlf Magnusson
2018-10-02Mention documentation generation earlyUlf Magnusson
2018-10-02API should be stable by nowUlf Magnusson
2018-10-02Make 10.9.2 releasev10.9.2Ulf Magnusson
Adds some documentation nits: - 08abf44 ("Mention that pydoc works after installing with pip") - 6aaf01c ("Clean up documentation a bit re. named choice") - 6fe5198 ("menuconfig: Mark quit_dialog() as internal")
2018-10-02Mention that pydoc works after installing with pipUlf Magnusson
Also mention that menuconfig.py has documentation.
2018-10-01Make 10.9.1 releasev10.9.1Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 43e7711 ("setup: Use a list instead of a tuple for 'classifiers'"), which fixes a setup.py issue on Python 3.7.
2018-10-01Make 10.9.0 releasev10.9.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 3b692df ("olddefconfig: Add script"), which bundles a new script that mimics 'make olddefconfig'. This could also be accomplished by entering the menuconfig interface and saving, but its more awkward. Some minor internal documentation clarifications and cleanups are included as well: - Commit 53db3ee ("Clarify node_iter() documentation re. iteration order") - Commit c1dcaa3 ("Refactor parsing to get rid of _saved_line") - Commit 6aab113 ("Don't set filename and linenr on 'if' menu nodes")
2018-09-27Make 10.8.1 releasev10.8.1Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit c91e17c ("Give clearer errors for bad endchoice/endif/endmenu nesting"). Previously, an endchoice/endif/endmenu without a corresponding choice/if/menu generated a cryptic "unrecognized construct" error.
2018-09-26Point out the Linux kernel Kconfigs being hugeUlf Magnusson
2018-09-23Make 10.8.0 releasev10.8.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds support for user-defined preprocessor functions in Python, which can be used to get information from existing Python tools into Kconfig, e.g. to have Kconfig symbols depend on hardware information stored in some other format. See commit b6827ca ("Add support for user-defined Python preprocessor functions").
2018-09-23Add support for user-defined Python preprocessor functionsUlf Magnusson
Allow preprocessor functions to be defined in Python by putting a module called 'kconfigfunctions' into sys.path. Internally, this simply adds the functions to the predefined functions in Kconfig._functions. User-defined Python functions make it simple to integrate information from existing Python tools into Kconfig, e.g. to have Kconfig symbols depend on hardware information stored in some other format. This might be used to get device tree information into Kconfig in Zephyr. Piggyback module docstring documentation for some extensions that were previously only mentioned in the README.
2018-09-14Make 10.7.0 releasev10.7.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit b9b2ebb ("menuconfig: Add RGB color support to styles."), which makes it possible to specify colors in MENUCONFIG_STYLE using #RRGGBB notation. The rendered colors may be more or less exact depending on terminal capabilities. In the best case, we can redefine colors. Otherwise, we fall back on the closest available color. Contributed by Mitja Horvat (punkfluid).
2018-09-09Make 10.6.1 releasev10.6.1Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit af6c8dc ("menuconfig: Fix some glitching on small terminals"), which fixes some minor graphical glitching in the menuconfig interface when the terminal is too small for things to fit. Commit 374f488 ("Clean up kernel Makefile patch and add new targets") adds some new targets to the Linux makefile patch as well, though the makefile patch isn't bundled on PyPI.
2018-09-09Mention the jump-to menuconfig functionality in the text tooUlf Magnusson
