- Introduced a new method `apply_default_string` to streamline the application of default values for string fields in build flags.
- Enhanced `apply_flags_table` to utilize the new method for setting various build flags, improving code readability and maintainability.
- 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 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.
