402 been updated (currently only works with FTP)
403 2.9 - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
404 is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another

408 size of packages before downloading

427 - Added --config option to specify an alternate config file
428 - Added "Include" directive to include repositories from
429 config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)
430 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
431 - Even smarter file-conflict checking
432 2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
433 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
434 2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
435 exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman". It
436 will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed
437 in the HoldPkg list
438 - Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation
439 - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
440 requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by

442 installed and "blackbox xfree86" is requested, "xfree86" will
443 be used instead of "xorg"
444 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
445 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
446 with files that move from one package to another
447 2.8 - Bugfixes:

460 adding or removing packages
461 - added implementation of GNU's strverscmp function for better
462 portability
463 - added explicit unlink() calls when --force is used, which
464 prevents those nasty "Text file busy" errors when you
465 force-upgrade something like pacman or glibc.
466 2.7.9 - added the "force" option to packages, so --sysupgrade can
467 downgrade packages when it needs to
468 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
469 - added -Qs option (FS#854)
470 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
471 conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you
472 can now do this by specifying the provisio target as both a
473 provides and a conflict, eg:
474 conflicts=('x-server')
475 provides=('x-server')

477 - added %o parameter to XferCommand so wget can resume properly
