 Recent changes to install-lib                               -*- outline -*-
 
+* Changes in version 1.2.0 (released 2004-11-14)
+
+Added option --phases to perform only parts of the installation
+procedure (either the "build" phase or the "install" phase).
+
+Added a script called scsh-test-pkg (in bin/) which can be used to
+test if a package satisfies (some of) the conventions laid out in the
+documentation. While far from being perfect, and slightly pedantic on
+naming issues, this script can be very useful for package authors.
+Currently, it isn't installed automatically.
+
+Fixed the test to check if a package is installed when
+--non-shared-only is specified: in that case, consider the package as
+already installed iff a directory in the "lib" location corresponding
+to the current platform exists.
+
+Added naming conventions and some documentation for "split packages"
+(scsh packages composed of a main archive which is not scsh-aware, and
+another archive providing scsh-related files, e.g. the package
+definition).
+
+Removed previously undocumented --layout-to option.
+
+Changed (undocumented) behaviour of --layout and --layout-from
+options: layouts must now be specified as a single s-expression
+evaluating to a function mapping a package to a layout. Note: this
+doesn't affect the documented behaviour of --layout which still
+accepts names to designate predefined layouts.
