130 been updated (currently only works with FTP)
131 2.9 - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
132 is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another
133 package. -Rs will only remove dependencies that were not
134 explicitly installed.

155 - Added --config option to specify an alternate config file
156 - Added "Include" directive to include repositories from
157 config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)
158 - Added patch from Jason Chu:

160 2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
161 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
162 2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more

171 be used instead of "xorg"
172 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
173 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
174 with files that move from one package to another

188 adding or removing packages
189 - added implementation of GNU's strverscmp function for better

192 prevents those nasty "Text file busy" errors when you
193 force-upgrade something like pacman or glibc.

195 downgrade packages when it needs to

197 - added -Qs option (bug #854)
198 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
199 conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you

228 - added a --recursive option for package removal, which removes
229 all deps of a target that aren't required by other packages

231 conflicting package would fail even if the new package
232 "provided" it
