414 - Even smarter file-conflict checking
415 2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
416 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
417 2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
418 exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman". It
419 will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed
420 in the HoldPkg list
421 - Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation
422 - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
423 requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by

426 be used instead of "xorg"
427 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
428 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and

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

450 downgrade packages when it needs to
451 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
452 - added -Qs option (FS#854)
453 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
