Release Notes: Performance improvements were achieved for subsequent builds. The program now quickly skips building of packages that have already been completed, and doesn't emit event notifications for package start and package stop for those packages.


Release Notes: The necessary adjustments to task execution were made to facilitate support for "make -j". There were minor fixes to the event handling for more consistency in the creation of event handlers. A bug in the svn:// fetcher was fixed; the protocol and revision parameters were inadvertantly swapped.
