• Major feature enhancements

Release Notes: This release includes rpmrepo (to generate repository metadata), rpmmtree (an enhanced version of the BSD mtree(8) program), and rpmdigest (an analogue of the GNU coreutils digest programs with support for URIs and additional digest/hash/CRC algorithms). Internally, it has been upgraded to use db 4.7.25 and Lua 5.1.3. LZMA uses liblzma rather than external helpers. noarch sub-packages and identically named sub-packages with different versions are supported. Additional query format extensions to transform package metadata were added. Indentation issues dumping package metadata using YAML are fixed.

• Minor feature enhancements

Release Notes: Additional query format extensions have been added to handle encoding and UUID generation of package metadata. Additional *.rpm package file information (stat(2) and file digest) are now saved in an rpmdb persistently. Build options and make targets for LCOV/GCOV "make check" coverage have been added. The rpmdb is now opened earlier so that pubkeys are available when querying package files. Access of file paths in headers through rpm-python was fixed.
