    - Extract code to submodules for easier separation of concerns
  * New features:
    - Support for templates for installing things with specified options #38
    - Display other README files if the slackbuild comes with them #49

* 2.0 - 2016-07-02
  * Major new features
    * LOCAL_OVERRIDES setting

      Allows to keep a directory with local slackbuild dirs that will override
      whatever is found in the regular repository. #8 #13 #14 #15 #19 #20
    * SLACKWARE_VERSION setting

      Allows to specify the slackware version to sync from SBo. Previously only
      the version in your /etc/slackware-version was used for this, and if that
      had gotten updated in -current, you'd have needed to wait both for a new
      version of sbotools, as well as SBo to get the new repository online
      before sbotools would work for you again. #19
    * REPO setting

      This will override the SLACKWARE_VERSION setting. It's used to specify an
      absolute URL for the SBo repository you want to sync with. #6 #19 #27
    * Use sbosrcarch source archive if download fails #7 #19 #24
    * sboupgrade --all option to upgrade everything listed by sbocheck. #9 #19
    * Travis CI integration

      Every push will now cause the test-suite to be run. #18
    * Hundreds of new unit-tests. #18 #19 #23 #24 #25 #27 #28 #31 #32 #33 #35 #41 #43
    * sbofind will now also use tags if they're available #37
  * Minor/bugfixes/documentation fixes
    * Use system perl when running and installing sbotools.
    * sbocheck output changed. #10 #13 #20
