ChangeLog:

=== Build Gear v0.9.18beta ===

Changes since Build Gear v0.9.17beta:

Martin Lund:

* Added log rotation feature

A new configuration variable "log_rotation" is introduced to enable log
rotation. The default value is 5 meaning that 5 rotation log files will
be used like so:

build/build.log
build/build.log.1
build/build.log.2
build/build.log.3
build/build.log.4
build/build.log.5

The oldest log file is build.log.5 and the latest is build.log .

Logs are rotated every time the build command is used.

* Configure text cleanup

* Fixed pthread linker error

Using gcc 4.7.3 on Ubuntu 13.04 requires the "-lpthread" option.

* Added layer configuration description.

* Removed version from SVG titles

Placed version comment in autogenerated SVG source.

Jesper Larsen:

* Show download progress for remote files of unknown size

Jeppe Ledet-Pedersen:

* Support for gcc 4.8 on Arch Linux

* Increase bash test path length

On Archlinux /bin/sh is a link to "../usr/bin/bash" and will not fit in 
the 10
byte string

* Add explicit cast to char pointer to avoid gcc 4.8 warning

This avoids warnings like when building on gcc 4.8:

cursor.cc: In constructor ‘CCursor::CCursor()’:
cursor.cc:59:27: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 
‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings]
no_lines = tgetnum("li");
^

* Test for libcurses/libncurses in addition to termcap

Vasile Popescu:

* Fix small spelling error in documentation
