- Release Date: 2013-06

- New features added:
  * Totally local full build support
  * New gbs config refinements
    - 'work_dir' support in [general] section

Release notes for gbs 0.16
==========================

- Release Date: 2013-05

        to speed up building, based on our experimental build time can save 50%. We
        use 800 Tizen packages as test data, without tmpfs, gbs spent about 5 hours
        to build all packages, but with tmpfs enabled, only 2h, 25mins spent
      - avoid export multiple times for packages contain multiple spec files
      - refine createrepo: add --update for if repodata already exists
      - export: use lower compression level for orig tarballs
