392 config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)
393 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
394 - Even smarter file-conflict checking
395 2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
396 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
397 2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
398 exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman". It
399 will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed

401 - Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation
402 - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly

406 be used instead of "xorg"
407 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
408 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
409 with files that move from one package to another

423 adding or removing packages
424 - added implementation of GNU's strverscmp function for better
425 portability

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

430 downgrade packages when it needs to
431 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
432 - added -Qs option (FS#854)
433 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
434 conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you

466 conflicting package would fail even if the new package
467 "provided" it
468 - if pacman sees a newer version of itself during an upgrade,
469 it will ask to install itself first, then be re-run to upgrade
470 the other packages.
