v2.0.12 - 17/12/2024
Default to boost-1.86.0 for RC_1_2 or v1.2.x builds because RC_1_2 has not been updated to support the (depreciated) features removed in boost-1.87.0 so the build will fail.
This method allows the user to override the setting by providing a valid boost tag using qbt_boost_tag or -bt
fix: changed -bt | --boost-version to -bt | --boost-tag for consistency. It was always supposed to be --boost-tag since that is what we are providing and testing via this flag.
v2.0.11 - 13/10/2024
Disable glib tests on zlib-ng https://github.com/userdocs/qbittorrent-nox-static/pull/173

v2.0.10 - 05/10/2024
Make cmake the default build tool with the release of qBittorrent v5
v2.0.9 - 14/05/2024
Change default c++ standard used for newer build combinations from 23 to 20.
v2.0.8 - 12-04-2024
Fixed a regression with -o where part the code was left in and duplicated after introducing a check for cross compilation, causing the positional parameters to be shifted twice, breaking things.

v2.0.7 - 12-02-2024
Added: a boost download function to combine some logic around fallback urls and minimise external calls. Added: a check to build combos for qt + cmake to prevent env files trying to build a known bad combo. fixed: modules check for whole word and not accept partial matches fixed: associative arrays declared earlier and in a group to allow changing settings via functions
v2.0.6 - 2024-01-27
New flag: -si / --static-ish for Debian, Ubuntu, and Alpine platforms. This flag disables LDFLAG static linking, allowing the OS libc to be dynamically linked.
You cannot you this flag with cross compilation, only native host builds.
Tests were added for static-ish and optimise to check for bad combinations, exiting the script with a helpful reason when used in combination with cross compilation, as the build will fail.
v2.0.5 - 23-01-2024
Codename: Copilot made me do it
Improved readability of the colour variables used throughout the script.
Some minor tweaks to OS detection
Moved some things around or into their own functions and some error handling.
Some changes to how cxx standard is handled and defined so the script will default to 23 when the conditions are met.
minor bug fix - qbt_libtorrent_version displays correctly when using an RC github tag.
Support for Ubuntu Noble added - Mantic removed as it’s preferred to support LTS releases
Ubuntu Focal - Jammy - Noble Debian Bullseye - Bookworm
v2.0.4 - 16-01-2024
Make sure the workflow override applies when using cached dependencies
Allow patching from a remote raw git patch via URL - an file called url in the patch repo for the module version that contains a URL to the raw patch
other minor tweaks and cosmetic changes
v2.0.3 - 27-12-2023
Fixed a regression from the V2 update where the host arch for zlib-ng was incorrectly set to x86_64, regardless of the actual host arch, when building on a non x86_64 host to the same target arch (not cross building).

v2.0.2 - 26-05-2023
Set ICU default to no. It does not need to be forced to on as there is no longer a related bug and it also makes more sense when considering the -i toggle.
v2.0.1 - 15-05-2023
Bug fix: skip_icu was being unset and defaulting to no. It is no longer unset and if set to skipped when using the module directly will still skip it.
v2.0.0 - 03-04-2023
There have been various breaking changes in the supporting architecture that effect the script and require updating to v2.0.0 from v1.1.0 or earlier.
A lot of changes and tweaks to workflows and supporting repos to make sure things are as size efficient as they can be. For example, gz to xz where possible.
Alpine Crossbuild tools are 70% reduced in size.
The script can now build for these arches using musl or debian though workflows and releases may not target them all yet.

v2 is is an overhaul that aims to be more sensibly coded and and use associative arrays to handle the URL data properly. Less obfuscated and consistent in how it uses this data.
docs to be updated soon.
A quick summary of main changes and features from v1.5.0 through vto 2.0.0
No more bison or gawk building. They are OS dependencies now and need to be installed on the host. Alpine only - Increased multiarch target support, updated musl cross tools and optimised size. A caching mechanism for files to store and manage download dependencies to avoid re-downloading them across builds. Any valid boost tag can be provided including beta tags. It was not a tag based check before. Any valid qt tag can be provided including beta tags. patches system reworked to allow patching any module. Source code files can also be used from app_version/source Improved the way tags are checked and the changes applied to be more consistent throughout the script. Removed any trace of gnu.org for being a really unreliable source location. optimised multiarch configurations and multiarch various bug fixes. Alpine only - Ninja is now prebuilt instead of locally built. All url data can be viewed using the -sdu switch. Lots of small tweaks, removing code and simplifying code and rebuilding functions.
v1.1.0 - 18-03-2023
Breaking changes: -bv 1.81.0 have been replaced with -bt boost-1.81
Reason: This check is now very similar to the -lt and -qt switches to it makes sense to bring it inline with how those are used.
Changes:
The script has gone through a general refactoring with many code optimizations, simplifications and improvements starting from v1.0.6.
Features:
Caching and cache management via -cd
Tag switches are more versatile in how they select source files based on tag input. Trying to use archives first but automatically falling back to folders when required.
More env options introduced to make setting most dynamic features available via env settings.
New switch options added.
v1.0.6 - 07-03-2023
Lot of tweaks and changes.
cache files method is now integrated into the script as a result of the URL function changes.
Refactored URL function. It now uses associative arrays to hold the data for URLs, tags and versions. This makes the data more structured and easier to use consistently throughout the script.
Changed all instances of echo -e to printf %b
Added a method to using an existing local git repo as a cached source. It will clone a folder with the matching app name in the cache path provided and clone, if it exists.
It will respect manually specified tags and checkout those from the clone folders.
The lowercase naming convention of the applications must be used in the cache_path/folder_name like cache_path/qbittorrent
It must be a git repo
v1.0.5 - 06-03-2023
Modified the default behaviour of the Debian installation to not build gawk and bison by default. It will now install them via apt-get.
There is a new switch -dma which will trigger the alternate mode and instead build gawk and bison from source.
v1.0.4 - 19-01-2023
Changed: Dropped build support for older Buster-Bionic since they require a more modern gcc version to successfully build natively. Successful builds on a modern OS can be used there instead.
v1.0.3 - 15-07-2022
Fixed: build - Libtorrent using b2 had checks against supplied tags to do version specific things that failed to match properly when using a pull request tag or non versioned branch. It now always check the version.hpp to determine the version in these build checks.
