Version 0.9.0
== Added ==
- Added the **Context** API for much easier and more flexible machine
management. Please read the [Context API][context-api] documentation for an
introduction and migration guide. **Note**: For now the old `tbot.selectable`
API still exists and will be compatible both ways with the new API. It will,
however, slowly be phased out in the future.
- Warning about incorrect build-host configuration when running `uboot_testpy`
testcase.
- Added support for SSH connection multiplexing to `SSHConnector`. You can
enable it by adding `use_multiplexing = True` to your host config.
Multiplexing can drastically speed up testcases which open many connections to
the same host (see `ControlMaster` in `sshd_config(5)` for details).
- Added two more types of machine initializers:
- `PreConnectInitializer`: Runs before the connection is established.
- `PostShellInitializer`: Runs after the shell is available (and thus can
interact with it).
== Changed ==
- `LinuxShell.env()` can now be used to query `$!` (last background job PID) and
`$$` (current shell PID) special environment variables (using `m.env("!")`
and `m.env("$")`).
- Added some more specific exception types and started using them where
appropriate. This effort is by far not over yet, though ...
- The `linux.Background` special token is now more safe to use as it prevents
console clobbering as good as it can. You can manually redirect command
output to files using a new call syntax. See `Background` documentation
for details.
- `paramiko` is now an optional dependency. tbot works just fine without
paramiko, but if it is installed, the `ParamikoConnector` becomes available.
- Switched to `pytest` for tbot's selftests.
== Fixed ==
- Call `olddefconfig` before attempting to build U-Boot. This prevents kconfig
from attempting to interactively query new config settings.
- Fixed a rare timing-dependent bash/ash initialization deadlock.
- Fixed `selftest_tc` failing if user has no git identity set up.
- Fixed documentation silently building without version information if
`git describe` fails.
- Fixed tbot configuring an overly narrow terminal in some cases, leading to
weird looking output (now the minimum is 80 chars wide).
- Fixed `Path.write_text()`/`Path.write_bytes()` hanging when an error occurs
and the channel receives data very slowly.
