Hi,

I've just released a new version of opkbuild.

You can get the archives in gzip, bzip2, or xz compression from the
files site by HTTP [1] or FTP [2].

[1]: http://files.proteanos.com/pub/opkbuild/3.0.0-beta1/
[2]: ftp://files.proteanos.com/pub/opkbuild/3.0.0-beta1/

Or if you've cloned the Git repository [3], make sure you've checked out
the "opkbuild-3.0.0-beta1" tag.

Changes
-------

See the "ChangeLog" file and Git commit history for complete lists of
changes.

The biggest user-facing change is the implementation of ob-genchanges.
Executed in the normal opkbuild process (like all ob-* utilities), this
utility generates "changes" files that describe a source package and its
most recent changes.  These changes files are currently used by
pro-archman [4] and will be used by other tools in the future.

With the addition of ob-genchanges, opkbuild now has all the major
features planned for version 3.0.0 and is now in "beta" phase.

Portability
-----------

opkbuild uses the "local" utility now, which means that Korn shell is no
longer supported.  Almost all other Bourne-style shells should still
work.
