Release 2.01

** Fix tests to work with custom PKGEXT :BUGFIX:

Tests were failing to work when using a different PKGEXT.

** load_pkgfile error changes to croak instead of die :BUGFIX:

A minor problem I found.

Release 2.00

** Upgrade for Pacman 3.5

Converted to the new libalpm that is distributed with pacman 3.5.

*** alpm_db_register_local removed

You don't have to call ALPM->register() to register the local DB. The local DB is registered automatically when you call ALPM->localdb aka ALPM->get_opt( 'localdb' ). ALPM::ParseConfig no longer takes the 'autoregister' parameter.

*** Transaction functions absorbed into install() and uninstall()

The two new ALPM::Transaction methods, install and uninstall, replace the old sync, pkgfile, remove, and sync_from_db methods.

The new methods take package objects as arguments. The old methods took package names as arguments. This reflects the same libalpm changes.

** ALPM method aliases removed

For some reason I made aliases everytime I changed a function name. I don't think anyone uses this module anyways so I just yanked out a bunch of old method aliases I had setup. The following are removed from the ALPM class, just use their alternate names.

|----------------+--------------|
| Removed Method | "New" Method |
|----------------+--------------|

   | register_db    | register     |
   | transaction    | trans        |
   | action         | trans        |
   | databases      | dbs          |
   | repodb         | db           |

|----------------+--------------|

** New Changelog Format

Ditched the old GNU-style ChangeLog format for an org-mode file. Old ChangeLog entries are at the end of the file...

2011-03-04 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>

RELEASE (1.02)
lib/ALPM/LoadConfig.pm: Fix bug where config file repos could not have hyphens ("-"). Reported by knotty.

2010-05-29 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>

RELEASE (0.08): Uploaded to CPAN.
typemap (find_group): Fix a bug with group type conversion. This caused ALPM::DB::find_group() to croak instead of (properly) returning undef when given a group name that didn't exist. Reported by Andre Schmidt. Thanks!

2010-05-24 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>

ALPM.xs (ALPM::Package): Renamed compute_requiredby method to requiredby.

2010-01-25 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>

t/04-FakeRepos.t (create_repos): Fixed problems with test 04-FakeRepos where packages would fail to build. Changed generated test packages to arch "any" so we don't have to check our arch.
Makefile.PL: "make clean" will now delete the test repository share directories (t/repos/share) and the test root directory (t/root) automatically.

2010-01-04 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>

0.5 (RELEASE)
lib/ALPM/LoadConfig.pm (makeparser): Tweaked regex to accept empty values. Removed error when an unknown field name is given.
lib/ALPM.pm: Added ability to set usedelta option, which was missing.
Makefile.PL: Added repository URL to the META.yml.
t/07-TiedOptions.t: Hides the warning for the last test using $SIG{__WARN__}.
t/04-FakeRepos.t (create_repos): Fixed a bug where I must use the --asroot option when running makepkg inside makepkg, because of fakeroot.

2009-10-29 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>

0.4: Released version 0.4

2009-10-08 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>

lib/ALPM.pm (transaction): 'flags' are now passed as a string of flag names separated by spaces. Added the sysupgrade transaction 'type'.
ALPM.xs: Added conv and progress callbacks for transactions.

2009-09-03 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>

ALPM.xs: s/alpm_pkg_get_/alpm_pkg_/;
lib/ALPM/DB.pm: Renamed get_pkg_cache() to packages().
lib/ALPM.pm: Changed methods local_db to localdb, get_sync_dbs to syncdbs, get_repo_db to repodb, and added search.
- Updated to version 3.30 of pacman. The upgrade changes many constants and functions.
- I have declared war on the get_ named methods. It seems silly to have all these get_ methods when there is no set_ method for anything except ALPM options (whose prefix I will keep).
