Version 1.0 of eselect, the modular configuration framework, is now |
2 |
out. All changes since 1.0_rc2 have been bugfixes. |

We haven't split out some of the "shipped with eselect but not core |
5 |
functionality" modules in this release, since I didn't want to break |
6 |
anything horribly -- that will probably be done for 1.1. However, we're |
7 |
providing a stable API now, so the "keep modules somewhere where the |
8 |
eselect people can find them and fix them for you" request is lifted. |
9 |
|
10 |
And since so few people seem to know this, despite it being a design |
11 |
feature that goes back to the very first random prototype hack: you |
12 |
don't have to run eselect module-name <args>. Many modules install a |
13 |
module-name-config or an update-module-name or somesuch symlink, and |
14 |
this is automatically recognised and converted internally. |

[ No, I'm not the guy in charge of eselect. That's Aaron, but he's busy |
17 |
and I needed eselect-1.0 before I could get GLEP 42 finalised. You |
18 |
can look forward to eselect 1.0.1 when he returns and finds all the |
19 |
stuff that I forgot to fix. ] |
