New in 1.4 (2005-06-28):

* Bugfixes:

- Find well-known documentation, when the source tarball is not
  in the current directory.

- Build correctly, when the source tarball is not in the current directory.

- Include gzip'd info files and man pages in %files list, so the build
  does not break for packages including those.


New in 1.3 (2005-06-10):

* Automatically include well-known documentation files:
  ChangeLog, Changes, AUTHORS, COPYING, COPYING.LIB, INSTALL, NEWS,
  README, README-alpha, THANKS, TODO.

  For this to work correctly, the Perl modules Archive::Tar and IO::Zlib
  must be installed. If IO::Zlib is not installed, a warning is issued,
  but an rpm without the documentation *will* be generated.

  This feature only works for .tar.gz files. .tar.bz2 are not supported
  (yet).

* Bugfixes:

- Use a proper name for the .spec file, so that the .src.rpm contains
  a spec file with a proper name rather than junk like ``K5RzKebCY1''.


New in 1.2 (2004-07-04):

* Bugfixes:

- Run ``make'' in %build, so we do actually build!

- Include everything except directories in the list of files built
  in %install for later use in %files. This fixes problems
  with packages that build shared libraries (e.g.: with symlinks
  libfoo.so -> libfoo.so.1).

* Add options to:

- install using DESTDIR, which may work better with some packages;
- preserve the (temporary) spec file after building;
- use parallel builds on SMP machines.


New in 1.1 (2004-06-22):

* Fix a bug in building the spec file for tarballs in directories
  other than the current one.


New in 1.0 (2004-06-22):

* Initial version.
