480 2.9.1 - --refresh now only downloads fresh packages lists if they've
481 been updated (currently only works with FTP)
482 2.9 - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
483 is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another
484 package. -Rs will only remove dependencies that were not
485 explicitly installed.
486 - Added compressed package size to sync DBs -- shows the total
487 size of packages before downloading
488 - Patch from Tommi Rantala:
489 - Allow --info and --list together in queries

493 - Better manpage compression
494 - Added checks for additional hyphens in package versions
495 - mktemp was failing if %pmo_root%/tmp was missing -- fixed
496 2.8.4 - Added updatesync script from Jason Chu
497 - Changed the pacman binary to be dynamically linked
498 - Included a pacman.static binary as well

505 - Fixed resolvedeps to always prefer literals over provisios
506 - Added --config option to specify an alternate config file
507 - Added "Include" directive to include repositories from
508 config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)
509 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
510 - Even smarter file-conflict checking
511 2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
512 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
513 2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
514 exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman". It
515 will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed
516 in the HoldPkg list
517 - Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation
518 - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
519 requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by
520 resolvedeps(). Example, if neither "xorg" nor "xfree86" is
521 installed and "blackbox xfree86" is requested, "xfree86" will
522 be used instead of "xorg"
523 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
524 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
525 with files that move from one package to another

539 adding or removing packages
540 - added implementation of GNU's strverscmp function for better
541 portability
542 - added explicit unlink() calls when --force is used, which
543 prevents those nasty "Text file busy" errors when you
544 force-upgrade something like pacman or glibc.
545 2.7.9 - added the "force" option to packages, so --sysupgrade can
546 downgrade packages when it needs to
547 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
548 - added -Qs option (FS#854)
549 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
550 conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you
551 can now do this by specifying the provisio target as both a
552 provides and a conflict, eg:
553 conflicts=('x-server')
554 provides=('x-server')

564 - fixed a little display bug in the progress bar
565 - made -Qip look like -Qi

577 - fixed another bug in conflict handling
578 - found an out-dated reference to /usr/abs, fixed
579 - added a --recursive option for package removal, which removes
580 all deps of a target that aren't required by other packages
581 2.7.4 - fixed a bug in conflict handling, where installing a
582 conflicting package would fail even if the new package
583 "provided" it
584 - if pacman sees a newer version of itself during an upgrade,
585 it will ask to install itself first, then be re-run to upgrade
586 the other packages.

588 uninstalled package's dependency info.

621 db to get groups)
622 - fixed a bug with list_merge()
623 - fixed some MLK (in dumppkg() and with "-Qi --orphans")
624 - now "pacman -Sg" only displays groups (without content)
625 whereas "pacman -Sg target1 target2" displays groups
626 target1 and target2 with content
627 2.6.1 - Added http download support (Aurelien Foret)
628 - Improved makepkg's --builddeps behaviour when called via
