on Python PyPI

0.29.0

• Feature: Support for WindowsStore (WinRT, UWP)
• Feature: Support for Visual Studio Toolsets.
• Feature: New boost-build generator for generic bjam (not only Boost)
• Feature: new tools.PkgConfig helper to parse pkg-config (.pc) files.
• Feature: Added self.develop conanfile variable. It is true for conan create packages and for local development.
• Feature: Added self.keep_imports to avoid removal of imported files in the build() method. Convenient for re-packaging.
• Feature: Autodected MSYS2 for SystemPackageTool
• Feature: AutoToolsBuildEnvironment now auto-loads pkg_config_path (to use with pkg_config generator)
• Feature: Changed search for profiles. Profiles not found in the default profiles folder, will be searched for locally. Use ./myprofile to force local search only.
• Feature: Parallel builds for Visual Studio (previously it was only parallel compilation within builds)
• Feature: implemented syntax to check options with if "something" in self.options.myoption
• Fix: Fixed CMake dependency graph when using TARGETS, that produced wrong link order for transitive dependencies.
• Fix: Trying to download the exports_sources is not longer done if such attribute is not defined
• Fix: Added output directories in cmake generator for RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel configs
• Fix: Locks for concurrent access to local cache now use process IDs (PIDs) to handle interruptions and inconsistent states. Also, adding messages when locking.
• Fix: Not remove the .zip file after a conan config install if such file is local
• Fix: Fixed CMake.test() for the Ninja generator
• Fix: Do not crete local conaninfo.txt file for conan install <pkg-ref> commands.
• Fix: Solved issue with multiple repetitions of the same command line argument
• BugFix: Don't rebuild conan created (with conan-create) packages when build_policy="always"
• BugFix: conan copy was always copying binaries, now can copy only recipes
• BugFix: A bug in download was causing appends insteads of overwriting for repeated downloads.
• Development: Large restructuring of files (new cmd and build folders)
• Deprecation: Removed old CMake helper methods (only valid constructor is CMake(self))
• Deprecation: Removed old conan_info() method, that was superseded by package_id()

Breaking changes

• CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY definition has been introduced in conan_basic_setup(), it will send shared libraries .so
  to the lib folder in Linux systems. Right now it was undefined.
• Profile search logic has slightly changed. For -pr=myprofile, such profile will be searched both in the default folder
  and in the local one if not existing. Use -pr=./myprofile to force local search only.
• The conan copy command has been fixed. To copy all binaries, it is necessary to explicit --all, as other commands do
• The only valid use of CMake helper is CMake(self) syntax
• If using conan_info(), replace it with package_id()
