- Added support for additional build flags: `fuse_ld`, `ranlib`, `strip`, `nm`, `objcopy`, `objdump`, and `readelf`.
- Implemented a new command `set` to manage tool aliases for compilers, linkers, and shells, allowing users to set preferred tools in the build environment.
- Improved error handling and validation for tool alias configuration, ensuring that existing non-symlink files are not replaced.
- Added tests to verify the correct behavior of tool alias management and build flag application.
- Enhanced the user.depot.toml.example file with additional comments and options for user-local preferences.
- Bumped version from 0.35.0 to 0.35.1 in meson.build.
- Introduced a new option for DEPOT_DEVELOPMENT_PACKAGE in meson_options.txt.
- Added functions to handle the requested development package in build_options.rs.
- Updated various builder files (autotools.rs, cmake.rs, custom.rs, meson.rs, perl.rs) to support passing build flags.
- Implemented checks for the required development package during source builds in commands.rs and commands/build_cmd.rs.
- Added tests to ensure the correct behavior of development package requirements and source build warnings.
- Modified manual source handling in source/mod.rs to validate local manual sources before proceeding with builds.
- Updated cargo build and test scripts to accept a new development package argument.
- Added VSCode settings to disable automatic configuration on open.
- Added an `interrupts` module to manage Ctrl-C signals and propagate them to child processes.
- Refactored archive extraction functions to check for interrupts and handle them gracefully.
- Introduced `copy_interruptibly` function to allow for interruptible copying of data.
- Updated various source files to utilize the new interrupt handling functions, ensuring that commands and archive extractions can be interrupted by the user.
- Added tests to verify the interrupt functionality during copying and tar extraction.
- Introduced a new Meson option for generating HTML CLI documentation.
- Enhanced the `PackageSpec` struct to support additional Rust LTO flags.
- execute transaction pre hooks at transaction start and post hooks at transaction end
- add batched hook execution with ordered "(n/total)" logging
- refactor install flows to plan package actions first, then run hooks around commits
- add `build.flags.ltoflags` and `build.flags.use_lto` (default: true)
- export `LTOFLAGS` and append LTO flags to `CFLAGS`, `CXXFLAGS`, and `LDFLAGS`
unless `use_lto = false`
- make autotools CFLAGS expansion use the final computed CFLAGS value
- update spec parsing/appends, interactive TOML output, docs, and contrib build config
- bump project version to 0.8.0 and update `zip` to 8.2.0
- add repos.toml source/binary repo configuration with arch overrides and priorities
- add dependency planner/execution plan flow with interactive provider selection and --yes support
- expand binary repo DB metadata (sha512, dependencies, file lists) and repo owns/search helpers
- add rootfs-scoped fd locking and minisign detached signing/verification helpers
- add Meson build/test support for the project with builddir-local CARGO_HOME/CARGO_TARGET_DIR
- install contrib example configs into sysconfdir (/etc/depot.d layout) via Meson
- improve builder env handling (sanitized PATH, tool env passthrough, CXXFLAGS support)
- support += appends in package specs and add build.flags.cxxflags parsing
- prompt for git credentials when private repo auth is required
- update docs/examples and dependency setup (system libs, zstdmt, tempfile pin)
- Added StateTracker to manage build steps and allow resuming interrupted builds.
- Updated post_extract function to utilize StateTracker for patch and command execution.
- Introduced makefile.rs to handle building and installing packages via Makefile.
- Created interactive.rs for an interactive package specification creator with SHA256 computation for source URLs.
- Enhanced checksum verification to support multiple algorithms (SHA256, SHA512, MD5).
- Added example configuration files in contrib for system-wide and user-level Depot configurations.
- Updated tests to cover new functionality and ensure correctness of state tracking and interactive creation.
