Conary 2.0.24 is a maintenance release.

• includeConfigFile now interprets paths relative to the file currently being processed, for files and URIs. (CNY-2950)
• includeConfigFile now supports a ~/path syntax to substitute the current user's home directory. (CNY-1650)

• Added support for commitChangeSet and commitChangeSetFile to ShimNetClient (CNY-2545)
• During promote operations use the cloned history for packages for the components of those packages as well. (CNY-1867)
• Promote now uses group weak references to learn about all of the components for a package instead of downloading all of the package troves for the source. (CNY-1867)

• The ccs2tar script now correctly handles changeset files containing directories, symlinks, and other non-regular files. (CNY-2954)

• More of the file installation path was moved into C for improved performance
• Added misc.pack() and use it to freeze TroveRefsFilesStream and StreamCollection objects
• Initial step of promote takes advantage of weak references to avoid downloading so many packages (CNY-1867)
• The shim network client now supports CONARY_CLIENT_LOG environment variable
• Added support for getFileContents call to ShimNetClient (CNY-1669)
• Conary update no longer caches all hostnames immediately on update - instead hostnames are cached as they are accessed. This avoids unnecessary caches when installing from changesets. (CNY-2832)
• Track CLONEDFROMLIST in troveInfo now as well as CLONEDFROM. This keeps track of the full clone history of a trove, with the most recent parent at the end of the list.
• Use CLONEDFROMLIST instead of CLONEDFROM where available to remove the need to follow the cloned from history in time. (CNY-1867)
