3.2.0

• Downgrade listings have been fixed (Issue #31)

3.1.9

Something went wrong last release, and it did not fix what it was supposed to…

3.1.8

Fixed pkgbuilder -F (broken one version ago)

3.1.7

AUR v2.3.0 compatiblity (fonts category)

3.1.6

Added --userfetch.

3.1.5

Added Vietnamese.

3.1.4

Fixed a mess.

3.1.3

Fixes to the safeupgrade; added Italian, Spanish and Turkish.

3.1.2

Modified timestamp generation in the Package classes.

3.1.1

A quick bugfix update.

3.1.0

Added some magic to AUR dependency building.

3.0.1

A lot of tiny fixes.

Also known as release three point oh point **ell**, blame Consolas.

3.0.0

A new major release, introducing many new wonderful features.

2.99.6.0

Package classes done.

2.99.5.0

Exceptions 2.0 fully implemented.

2.99.4.0

First four stages done.

2.1.6.0–2.1.6.3

VerbosePkgLists, DS.run_command() and subsequent fixes to the latter

2.1.5.14

Fixing a quite important bug in the install process

2.1.5.13

2013! Oh, and the revision number is 13, too!

2.1.5.11—2.1.5.12

Fixes to the AUR v2.0 magic.

2.1.5.10

AUR v2.0 support.

2.1.5.9

And another issue that I have not noticed, in a tiny change of Update behavior. Sorry for all those updates, but I do not do testing on everything, just on stuff I think could break a lot (have you seen a bugfix for the ABS build magic? I haven’t. Well, the validation fix was partially related to the ABS magic, but it was detected during a run of pb -S with an inexistent package that I thought might exist. I actually revised all the changes that happened since 2.1.5.5 (a release without those bugs) and I think I’m done with everything now.

2.1.5.8

A bug in the wrapper fixed. Sorry, but sometimes I forget to test certain things, and I forgot that the protocol choice in PBWrapper is implemented through a workaround. Also, fixed the installation validation behavior.

2.1.5.7

Fixed some bugs that managed to slip through while working on 2.1.5.6.

2.1.5.6

Added ABS support.

2.1.5.4—2.1.5.5

Applying patches from vadmium/pkgbuilder, also adding a few other fixes and changing the pb version number up to 0.2.0.

2.1.5.3

A bugfix for package copying and installation (signatures were passed to -U) broke the installation mechanism so only one package got installed. Also, fixing a bug with a STDIN that is not a terminal (eg. xargs, and I hope nobody is using it to search for stuff)

2.1.5.2

Fixed a bug where an error in makepkg while running an Upgrade crashed PB and thrown an unhelpful traceback.

2.1.5.1

More tiny bugfixes.

2.1.5.0

A release including the sample scripts, among other stuff. This is a release which now has all the functionality I want it to have. And it’s time to move onto a new project, the aurqt interface for the AUR. Or maybe something else? [Update from the future: it wasn’t all I wanted. Moreover, PKGBUILDer is a dependency of aurqt.]

2.1.4.9

Some more bugfixes.

2.1.4.8

Introducing a backwards-compatibility-breaking change of .utils.Utils.info()

Fixes some bugs.

2.1.4.4

The mature release, including downgrades, excluding mess.

2.1.4.2-2.1.4.3

Bug fixes, thanks to fosskers (from aura, another AUR helper).

2.1.4.1

Dropped the useless msgcodes, which made no sense at all.

2.1.4.0

pb wrapper!

2.1.3.7

beginning)

2.1.2.31

The big changes begin. Introducing requests.

2.1.2.1-2.1.2.30

2.1.2.0

Support for the new pyalpm.

2.1.1.8

Fixed the license.

2.1.1.7
