2019-07-02Make 12.12.1 releasev12.12.1Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 29758ae ("setconfig: Use 'orig_type' instead of 'type' in error message").
2019-07-02Make 12.12.0 releasev12.12.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit e5e2fe5 ("Catch EnvironmentError instead of OSError/IOError"), which fixes menuconfig.py crashes on I/O errors on Python 2. This might also improve error robustness elsewhere on Python 2 in obscure cases.

2019-06-06Move Linux kernel installation instructions before Python compat. sectionUlf Magnusson
2019-06-06Make 12.2.0 releasev12.2.0Ulf Magnusson
Do the opposite of what other people are doing and make menuconfig.py Python 2-compatible. Turns out it's not that tricky after all, and it makes everything consistently Python 2/3-compatible and streamlines things. - Commit 41b5891 ("menuconfig: Get rid of 'nonlocal'") - Commit b2e211d ("menuconfig: Fall back on getch() when get_wch() isn't available") - Commit c3162be ("menuconfig: Only decode curses.erasechar() on Python 3") - Commit fe6ed99 ("menuconfig: Import print_function for Python 2 compatibility") - Commit c209188 ("menuconfig: Have hashbang point to 'python' instead of 'python3'") - Commit d577865 ("Remove Python 3 menuconfig special-casing from Makefile patch") - Commit 319f7f0 ("Update various comments now that menuconfig is Python 2-compatible") - Commit 5fbd70e ("Update setup.py now that menuconfig is Python 2-compatible") Also investigate exactly what the Python version requirements are and tweak and document things a bit: - Commit e0baa79 ("Tweak python_requires to 2.7/3.2+") - Commit 3a772a6 ("Add a section on version compatibility to the README")
2019-06-06Update sample session in READMEUlf Magnusson
Make it reflect various output improvements added since it was written (e.g. 'depends on' not being shown on each property).
2019-06-06Add a section on version compatibility to the READMEUlf Magnusson
2019-06-06Update various comments now that menuconfig is Python 2-compatibleUlf Magnusson
2019-06-04Make 12.1.0 releasev12.1.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 22f2778 ("Mention that the load_config() message is different for replace=False")
2019-06-03Make 12.0.0 releasev12.0.0Ulf Magnusson
Fixes two API issues. Some backwards compatibility breakage was required for the load_config()/write_config() message change, though the only effect on most scripts will be less output on stdout unless/until they're modified. - Commit bf36f5d ("Improve warning control API (with backwards compatibility)") - Commit 55bc8c3 ("Have load_config() and write_(min_)config() return messages") Kconfiglib now also makes the version number available: - Commit 455e366 ("Add kconfiglib.VERSION") These are longstanding issues. I don't know of any other ones that would warrant breaking backwards compatibility. Not going on some API changing spree.
2019-06-03Improve warning control API (with backwards compatibility)Ulf Magnusson
A wart of the warning control API (enable/disable_*_warnings()) is that the current warning settings can't be queried. Querying warning settings is useful in functions that want to temporarily enable/disable some warning and then put things back to how they were. kconfiglib.load_allconfig() ran into this, for example. Make the internal warning control variables public (improve the naming at the same time), and encourage just setting them directly. Keep the old API for backwards compatibility. Also remove _warn_redun_assign() and _warn_override(). They're trivial and were called in a single place.
2019-06-01Make 11.9.1 releasev11.9.1Ulf Magnusson
Fixes an obscure rsource crash, in commit 92791a3 ("Fix obscure crash with rsource and $srctree pointing to a symlink").
2019-05-31Make 11.9.0 releasev11.9.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 175c1f5 ("Leave unchanged output files untouched"). This avoids updating file modification timestamps when nothing has changed, which can make it easier to avoid triggering redundant rebuilds.
2019-05-31Leave unchanged output files untouchedUlf Magnusson
Before writing a configuration file or header file, compare the old contents of the file against the new contents. If there's no change, skip the write, to avoid updating the file modification time. This might avoid triggering redundant rebuilds depending on how the build system is set up, and could allow for a simpler setup.
2019-05-29Make 11.8.0 releasev11.8.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 437c6cc ("Use os.replace() if available in _save_old()"), which gives rename() semantics on Windows, avoiding copying the file. This was cherry-picked out of a larger change re. avoiding touching files whose contents haven't changed. Will come later.
2019-05-28Make 11.7.0 releasev11.7.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds commit 3aea9f7 ("Add '# end of <menu>' after menus in .config"), which mirrors a change in the C tools. The compatibility tests now pass again for the latest kernel.
2019-05-25Make 11.6.0 releasev11.6.0Ulf Magnusson
Brings the format returned by Symbol/Choice/MenuNode.__str__()/custom_str() closer to how things would usually be written by hand, and removes spammy propagated dependencies from property conditions. Propagated dependencies are still included in the 'depends on ...' line, so no information is lost. Properties without parent deps. propagated to their conditions are now also available as MenuNode.orig_{prompt,defaults,selects,implies,ranges}. - Commit bb33eed ("Strip direct deps. from property conditions in Symbol/Choice/MenuNode.__str__()") - Commit e1da7aa ("Display n/m/y without quotes") - Commit 9f57bf9 ("Use the '<type> "prompt"' shorthand in __str__()") Also clarifies what KconfigSyntaxError is doing: - Commit 95515d4 ("Clarify that KconfigSyntaxError = KconfigError in the docs").
2019-05-22Make 11.5.0 releasev11.5.0Ulf Magnusson
Fixes a minor menuconfig interface bug in commit f962269 ("menuconfig: Fix inconsistent top/bottom scroll offset due to off-by-one"). Some doc tweaks are included as well: - Commit 841ab04 ("Mention that .config can be brought up-to-date via menuconfig/guiconfig") - Commit f8978b0 ("Say "removes" instead of "resets" in the unset_value(s)() docstring")
2019-05-22Mention that .config can be brought up-to-date via menuconfig/guiconfigUlf Magnusson
Good to know.
2019-05-19Make 11.4.0 releasev11.4.0Ulf Magnusson
- Commit aed7b40 ("Add guiconfig to PHONY in Makefile patch") - Commit 50ded1d ("Make .config.old easier to discover")
2019-05-19Make .config.old easier to discoverUlf Magnusson
Mention that the old version of an overwritten configuration file is saved to <filename>.old in a few different places, to make it easier to discover.
2019-05-14Add installation instructions for tkinterUlf Magnusson
Not installed by default on many Linux systems, despite being part of the Python standard library.
2019-05-11Make 11.3.0 releasev11.3.0Ulf Magnusson
Improves dependency-related documentation a bit, in commit 95b80e1 ("Clarify direct_dep and dep documentation").
2019-05-11Make 11.2.0 releasev11.2.0Ulf Magnusson
Improves documentation for the Symbol/Choice.referenced attribute, in commit 814e2de ("Improve the 'referenced' docstring").
2019-05-10Link ESP-IDF scriptsUlf Magnusson
2019-05-03Make 11.1.0 releasev11.1.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds a Python 2/3-compatible GUI menuconfig, in commit 9be6b7b ("guiconfig: Add a Tkinter-based menuconfig"). See that commit and the updated README for a longer description.

2019-05-03guiconfig: Add a Tkinter-based menuconfigUlf Magnusson
This is a graphical configuration interface written in Tkinter. Like menuconfig.py, it supports showing all symbols (with invisible symbols in red) and jumping directly to symbols. Symbol values can also be changed directly from the jump-to dialog. When single-menu mode is enabled, a single menu is shown at a time, like in the terminal menuconfig. Only this mode distinguishes between symbols defined with 'config' and symbols defined with 'menuconfig'. Compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. Has been tested on X11, Windows, and macOS. To avoid having to carry around a bunch of GIFs, the image data is embedded in guiconfig.py. To use separate GIF files instead, change _USE_EMBEDDED_IMAGES to False. The image files can be found in https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/tree/screenshots/guiconfig. A new `make guiconfig` target in the Makefile patch will run the GUI configuration interface on the Linux kernel.
2019-04-30Make 11.0.0 releasev11.0.0Ulf Magnusson
Simplifies the filename calculation for .old files, in commit 4fed39d ("Never prepend '.' to $KCONFIG_CONFIG.old"). This makes it reliable to refer to the backup file as $KCONFIG_CONFIG.old in scripts. This is a backwards-incompatible change when $KCONFIG_CONFIG is set to a filename that does not start with a '.', so the major version is increased. Note that $KCONFIG_CONFIG is usually set to <some path>/.config, so few people should be affected.
2019-04-28Make 10.51.0 releasev10.51.0Ulf Magnusson
Makes sync_deps() safe to use in threaded scripts, in commit a664a6d ("Avoid chdir()ing in sync_deps()").
2019-04-28Make 10.50.1 releasev10.50.1Ulf Magnusson
Fixes an obscure menuconfig display issue, in commit 4b387e0 ("menuconfig: Fix display issue for unsatisfied-deps selected symbol with children").
2019-04-27Make 10.50.0 releasev10.50.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds a simple utility for initializing the configuration from an existing configuration, in commit 4f1674f ("defconfig: Add script").
2019-04-27defconfig: Add scriptUlf Magnusson
Simple script for initializing the configuration from an existing configuration file (usually a minimal configuration). Just copying the minimal configuration to .config would usually work, due to Kconfig semantics, but having it be a full configuration file from the start might be handier and less confusing.
2019-04-27Add link to Zephyr CI checksUlf Magnusson
Might be handy in other projects. Also clean up formatting a bit.
2019-04-26Make 10.49.0 releasev10.49.0Ulf Magnusson
Improves menuconfig.py behavior slightly, in commit 61591f0 ("menuconfig: Improve space/enter behavior slightly").
2019-04-18Make 10.48.0 releasev10.48.0Ulf Magnusson
Improves save/load UI design in the menuconfig, in commit 90c5573 ("menuconfig: Remember last saved/loaded path and improve _conf_changed").
2019-04-17Make 10.47.0 releasev10.47.0Ulf Magnusson
Adds a (perhaps not noticeable) performance improvement to the menuconfig, in commit a47615f ("menuconfig: Prune _shown_nodes() recursion").
2019-04-17Make 10.46.1 releasev10.46.1Ulf Magnusson
Fixes a display issue for m/y-valued 'menuconfig' symbols with disabled optional prompts and visible children, in commit 37c6984 ("menuconfig: Fix display issue for optional-prompt menuconfigs").
2019-04-11Make 10.46.0 releasev10.46.0Ulf Magnusson
Makes menu paths shown in the menuconfig more informative, in commit 136c0e4 ("menuconfig: Include all parents in menu paths").
