Yes, its that time of year again, sorcery 1.11.0 is now the current
stable sorcery.

Here is the Changelog:

2004-11-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * Sorcery Release 1.11.0

2004-11-02 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api1/build_api2: remove call to install_services
        * libgrimoire: remove install_services (bug 7598)

2004-11-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * mirrors/GNU: fix the mirror listing, bug 7591

2004-10-26 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcast: fix use_xinetd to actually work at an acceptable level
          fix install_xinetd to install enabled and disabled services, and
          to chmod +x enabled services and chmod -x disabled services. This
          is a crutch until bug 1817 is fixed.
        * libgrimoire: remove install_xinetd_confs because it was a useless
          function under install_xinetd, it enables the services and then
          restarts xinetd which is bad.

2004-10-21 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: deal with the case of load_build_api failing
        * libcast: load_build_api fails if it doesnt recognize the api
          this is anticipating the day we have api3, and this version
          of sorcery is old. (bug 7559)
        * build_api/common: silence a popd

2004-10-19 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: make list_add really seperate on spaces only, this
          works around the case where a spell commits the sin of changing
          IFS on us.

2004-10-16 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * scribe: set FILE in do_update otherwise funny things happen
          also remove a duplicate pushd

2004-10-16 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: fix bugs 7529 and 7531, check a little more carefully
          for temp dir creation, and remove silly code from cast --fix.
          Also make it slightly more obvious that cast --fix is depreciated.

2004-10-14 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: make conflicts work again, bug 7525

2004-10-14 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * url_http: fix bug 7521, remains of fuzz code removed

2004-10-14 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fix bug 7518, handle the case of an empty (but existing)
          install queue.

2004-10-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/config: add UPDATEFIX variable
        * sorcery: add item to feature menu for UPDATEFIX
        * libsorcery: only do cleanse --fix basesystem if $UPDATEFIX == "on"

2004-10-12 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: fix bug 7500 ignore score files in /var/games when
          md5sum checking, and bug 7507, resurrect causes make to behave
          strangely

2004-10-11 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man8/alter.8: added warning
        * sustained: added smgl-strip and smgl-prelink:
          terrible things start happening if these are dispelled.

2004-10-11 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: fix obvious flaws in upward depends (bug 7496)

2004-10-11 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: fixed Option menu: Color Scheme and distcc have the same
          letter, bug 7495

2004-10-11 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man8/alter.8: created, documented seth's alter.

2004-10-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: fix buglet where md5sum's are incorrect for a spell file 
but
          match elsewhere (say in net-tools) and the spell where we find the
          files has a - in the name. When this happened cleanse failed to
          crack the name of the spellname from the md5sum logfile name and 
thus
          would report the spell as broken rather than adjusting the
          logs as needed

2004-10-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: declare i local in select_provider, bug 7491
          (thanks sandalle)

2004-10-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: fix spell counting to be more correct (bug 7490)

        * libmisc, libapi: clarified using config_query_option and empty
          strings
        * libmisc: list_remove, fixed additional space at the end of string

2004-10-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc, libapi: revert modified return value of config_query
          back to 0 in all cases.

2004-10-10 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libmisc, libdepends:fixed bug 7456
        * libmisc, libapi: modified return value of config_query
          y -> 0, n -> 1

2004-10-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtriggers, libcast, libsorcery, sorcery: replace cast --fix
          with cleanse --fix, bug 7397

        * scribe: unbreak rsync support, bug 7329

2004-10-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/config: Adjust ordering of "extra" config files to
          ease transition to the new setup. Add some entries for the
          local version of the config files.
        * etc/sorcery/media: remove colors, and call media_init after 
sourcing 
          local/media.
        * libmedia: added from patch supplied by Lyon Lemmens with a few
          minor adjustments.
        * etc/sorcery/roots,state,url: make use of LOCAL_*_CONFIG variables
          instead of hardcoded paths
        * libcrossinstall: remove old config variables from local/config
          and put them in local/roots
        * libstate: adjust debug messages for remove_config
        * libsorcery: remove color and sound scheme code and put in libmedia
        * sorcery: add menu option for color scheme

2004-10-09 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libmisc: fix bug 7455 (no spaces at the begin of the string
          after list_add)

2004-10-05 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: fix bug 7458, incorrect guess for optional_depends
          provider, also fix a missing local declaration in optional_depends
          spell

2004-10-04 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

        * sorcery_config.5: created a new manpage
        * grimoire.5, gaze.1: added it

2004-09-30 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: depends is off if provider selected is "none"

2004-09-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/common: fix trivial bug 7344, switch order CONFIG_LOC
          and -x ./configure are checked

2004-09-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: Improve depends/optional_depends querying to
          look in more places for answers (bug 7382), handle exiled
          spells more gracefully (7343), as well as the new "default"
          answers (bug 6295). Option list for providers only shows actual
          providers, and only once, without the version (bug 6831), list
          also indicates what spells are installed already, and supports
          up to 62 providers.
        * libstate: add routines for adding/searching/removing things from 
the            default depends/provider files (bug 6295).
        * etc/sorcery/state: add entries for DEFAULT_DEPENDS and
          DEFAULT_PROVIDERS.
        * sorcery: Add command line interface to interact with default
          depends/providers (bug 6295).
        * libsorcery: Make get_providers more robust (bug 6831).
        * libapi, libstate: add spell_ok/real_spell_ok function to
          test for a spell being in any installed state (installed, held,
          etc.) (bug 7294).

2004-09-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: fix reversed logic in cleanse --nofix_quick

2004-09-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: fix md5sum checking to not accept files that were changed
          but live in currently installed spells. These files are now removed
          from the spell's md5sum and install log, and placed in a new
          "possessed log". This is currently for information only, but
          may someday be used by sorcery.
        * cleanse: wrap --fix summary messages to 80 characters and re-word
          the "hopeless" message.
        * etc/sorcery/state: add POSSESSED_LOGS entry.

2004-09-27 Arwed v. Merkatz <v.merkatz AT gmx.net>
        * var/lib/sorcery/modules/libcodex: use parameter expansion instead of
          dirname and basename in codex_set_current_spell
        * var/lib/sorcery/modules/libmisc: use bash code instead of awk and
          sed in real_persistent_load and real_list_add

2004-09-25 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * usr/share/man/man5/grimoire.5: general rewrite

2004-09-20 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * cleanse: added a progress meter, cosmetic fix

2004-09-13 Eric Sandall <eric AT sandall.us>
        * var/lib/sorcery/archspecs/sun4u,sun4u64: Use march=v9 instead of v8

2004-09-10 Arwed v. Merkatz <v.merkatz AT gmx.net>
        * accounts, groups: fixed haldaemon account, added haldaemon group,
          added messagebus user and group (bugs 7317 and 7338)

2004-09-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * url_cvs: fix bug 7272, check for the file and fail if it isnt there
        * url_svn: add (slightly modified) handler from bug 7228, this is
          almost completely untested

2004-09-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * accounts: add "haldaemon" uid and gid for bug 7317

2004-09-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libstate, libapi: fix bug 7295, add spell_held to libapi and
          fix some comments.
        * libstate: add a function that I'll use later for bug 7277 that
          was already put into libstate

2004-09-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: fix bug 7096, stricter name grepping, and remove
          some mysterious code

2004-09-07 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: Fix bug 7323, left over debugging code
        * libdownload: Fix bug 7305, remove head -1

2004-09-07 Arwed v. Merkatz <v.merkatz AT gmx.net>
        * url_http: removed fuzzy downloading

2004-09-05 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * Fix typo in gaze that cuases whole script to fail

2004-09-05 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * Bashdocification of most libs

2004-08-23 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libhash: Minor fix to fix the last fix

2004-08-23 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * libhash: Minor fix to avoid trying to run a variable

2004-08-23 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

2004-08-23 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * usr/share/man/man1/gaze.1: general updating

2004-08-22 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * usr/sbin/*: Updated and indented command documentation

2004-08-21 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * build_api/api2: Fix bug 7264, PRE_BUILD now has its output not
          redirected (behavior from api1)

2004-08-18 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/roots,state, libcrossinstall: Fix bug 4534, you can now
          specify through the install root menu where cache files get stored.

2004-08-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: add a parameter to view the activity log

2004-08-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcast: fix resurrect to at least respect INSTALL_ROOT
          still need to make fixing code respect it.

2004-08-12 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdownload: Small fix to only look at mirror files that really
          truely contain mirrors for the url we are expanding

2004-08-12 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * cleanse: added a nice summary at the end (bug #749)

2004-08-11 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * mirrors/SOURCEFORGE: Added some mirrors, thanks Ruskie !

2004-08-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * liburl: Fix a missing call to iterator which in its absence
          made url_rank do nothing (and I just thought it was faster!).
        * mirrors/SOURCEFORGE: Remove some trailing "/"s that I missed.

2004-08-10 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * cast: added a -V option to override VOYEUR (bug #4623),
          fixed a typo in process_parameters()

2004-08-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fix bug 7166, gaze now handles providers and does not
          incorrectly list them as orphans. The running time appears to
          be about 3 times faster too.

2004-08-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery, libsorcery: Fix some menu's to modify different local
          config files now that we've split the config files up. This fixes
          the problem of not using the selected mirror.

2004-08-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: If after finishing dependency resolution there are no spells
          to cast (e.g. they were all z-rejected and the user rejected them)
          print a message and exit 1.
        * libdepends: Add spell to the cannot cast hash when it fails
          somewhere in dependency resolution.

2004-08-06 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fix bug 5525, gaze compile now supports an optional version
          parameter.

2004-08-06 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * dispel, libdispel: Move numerous dispel functions into a library
        * dispel: Fix numerous obvious flaws in the downgrade function
        * dispel: Non-zero exit status on failure.
        * build_api/api2: turn on installwatch at INSTALL, not BUILD
        * cast, build_api/common, libgrimoire, libinitd, libmisc, libcodex,
          libtrack, scribe, dispel, libdispel, alter: adjust INSTALL_ROOT code
          to new model.
        * /etc/sorcery/config, state, media, url, roots: split configuration
          into more files to be more confusing.
        * libgraph: delete
        * cast: remove unused current_sources function (was used before
          libdownload re-write)
        * summon, sorcery, config: remove xdelta code
        * libsorcery: remove dl_source, get as they've been depreciated also
          remove testpack which is only called by get and no one missed it.
        * scribe: update to use download_files instead of url_download, since
          download_files is the prefered frontend for all downloading.
        * libdepends: fiddle with private_run_depends error handling
        * libgrimoire: format warn_rejected and ask_continue_with_rejected
          and remove useless cats and message calls in favor of a few,
          properly quoted message calls.
        * libgrimoire: ask_continue_with_rejected remove poor attempt at
          dealing with the choice to not continue. Instead return 1 like
          a well behaved function and dont mess with libdepends.
        * libdownload: beta mirror expanding code, as requested by ruskie
        * liburl, url_handlers/*: take advantage of parallelism when
          netselecting if possible. This is a necessary compliment to the
          url expanding code in libdownload, which may generate over 200 urls.
        * /etc/sorcery/mirrors/*: remove trailing / from some mirror names
        * install: now takes an optional parameter as to where it should
          install to.
        * /etc/sorcery/update/...: remove, sorcery is not a spell
        * libmisc: fix progress spinner for bash 3.0
        * libstate: fix obviously broken remove_spell function
        * sorcery, libcrossinstall: Add a new and simple menu for
          selecting of install/track/state root.
        * libcrossinstall: Remove invoke_cross_environment since we no longer
          copy everything all over the place for no apparent reason. Rename
          and modify the routine to install sorcery somewhere else, instead
          use the install script included with the sorcery distribution.

2004-08-06 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libdownload: fixed in order to make it work again (bug 7214), some 
          small indenting too

2004-08-05 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: Fix for displaying some sorcery text files
        * liblock: Have liblock notice when disks get full and commits fail
        * cleanse: Make cleanse know about provider switching

2004-08-04 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: add redirection of stderr back to pass_three's summon
          call, otherwise download progress from wget is not logged.
          Will fix the url handlers later.
        * libdownload: pushd/popd to /tmp for downloading until
          the url handlers can figure out where to download things

2004-08-03 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * build_api/api1: move the logging to around the build so that 
          custom builds get logged too.

2004-08-02 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * build_api/{api1,api2,common}, alter, libsorcery, libcast:
          use process substitution instead of named fifo for compile logging.
        * build_api/{api2,common}: make the config_loc function run outside of
          the compile log pipeline.
        * archspecs/amd64/x86_{32,64}: -march=k8 instead of xp

2004-08-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: fix enhancement to not
          forget BUILD/INSTALL failures (oops)

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libdownload: check for pon before using it (bug 7196)

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * cast, api1, api2: removed 2>&1 pipe redirection to make SUPER_DEBUG
          work again

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libaccount: Improved create_account to use parameter instedad of
          $SECONDARY_GIDS (bug 7190)
        * libaccount: indented function create_account
        * libaccount: added function sanity_checks to prevend ID clashing

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libcast: `ls | grep -v` -> `find ...`
        * libcast: fixed if .. then .. else, initd scripts should be installed
          without warning now
        * libcast: fixed debugging calls referring to wrong fucntion

2004-07-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: fix yesterdays enhancement to not
          overwrite the compile log (oops)

2004-07-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: Add a timestamp for when
          building/installing completes (bug 7136).

2004-07-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * url_http: Remove useless eval from url_http_call_wget
        
2004-07-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: Move clean_logs into cleanse as a --log option, bug 7171

2004-07-23 Arwed v. Merkatz <v.merkatz AT gmx.net>
        * url_cvs: made it work with both cvs and gcvs (bug #7107)

2004-07-22 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libmisc: fix for list_remove, thanks Richard !
        * libmisc: fix for config_query_option to work for cast -r, and also
          modified it's output to show [y|n] instead of selected option

2004-07-20 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: Incorporate the --fix rewrite. Most of this work
          as done by Paul. I just tied things together :) Also changed
          indentation to two spaces because I felt like it.
          These changes should also take care of the last of the "filenames
          with spaces" problems.

        * libdownload: make FALL_BACKS url list local, this caused a rather
          annoying problem where SOURCE downloads from fallback, then SOURCE2
          also needs to download from fallback, but ends up re-downloading
          SOURCE. The variable should have been set to local. Thanks

        * libcast: default non-essential init scripts to not be enabled by
          default.  They are still installed.

        * cast, sorcery: run /tmp scripts with bash directly.
          This enables one to mount -o remount,noexec /tmp or set the
          noexec option in fstab for /tmp.
