	- Don't run build sanity checks on incomplete builds
	- Promote certain warnings from debug to note 2 level
	- Update manual

Changes in Bitbake 1.8.2:

Changes in Bitbake 1.8.0:
	- Release 1.7.x as a stable series

Changes in BitBake 1.7.x:
	- Major updates of the dependency handling and execution
	  of tasks. Code from bin/bitbake replaced with runqueue.py
	  and taskdata.py
	- New task execution code supports multithreading with a simplistic
	  threading algorithm controlled by BB_NUMBER_THREADS
	- Change of the SVN Fetcher to keep the checkout around

	- Allow 'interactive' tasks
	- Logging message improvements
	- Drop now uneeded BUILD_ALL_DEPS variable
	- Add support for wildcards to -b option
	- Major overhaul of the fetchers making a large amount of code common
	  including mirroring code
	- Fetchers now touch md5 stamps upon access (to show activity)
	- Fix -f force option when used without -b (long standing bug)
	- Add expand_cache to data_cache.py, caching expanded data (speedup)
	- Allow version field in DEPENDS (ignored for now)

	  to avoid unpacking the sourceforge mirror page)
	- Switch to a cow like data instance for persistent and non
	  persisting mode (called data_smart.py)
	- Changed the callback of bb.make.collect_bbfiles to carry
	  additional parameters
	- Drastically reduced the amount of needed RAM by not holding
	  each data instance in memory when using a cache/persistent
	  storage

Changes in BitBake 1.2.1:
	The 1.2.1 release is meant as a intermediate release to lay the
	ground for more radical changes. The most notable changes are:

	- Do not hardcode {}, use bb.data.init() instead if you want to
	  get a instance of a data class
	- bb.data.init() is a factory and the old bb.data methods are delegates
	- Do not use deepcopy use bb.data.createCopy() instead.
	- Removed default arguments in bb.fetch
