This is a +_huge_ change that will touch pretty much all code. + +The main change it brings is that you can override any builtin option +value for any subproject (even the top one) entirely from the command +line. This means that you can, for example, enable optimizations on +all subprojects but not on the top level project. + +We have done extensive testing and all our tests currently +pass. However it is expected that this will break some workflows. So +please test the branch when it lands and report issues. We want to fix +all regressions as soon as possible, preferably far before the next rc +release. -- cgit v1.2.3
