-VERSION         DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-              - fix for regex searches with -Ss (Miklos Vanja)
-2.9.7         - fixed the dupe listings of packages when dealing w/ groups
-              - patches from Miklos Vanja:
-                - add regexp search support for -Qs and -Ss
-                - fixed md5sums on x86_64
-                - add --sudosync to makepkg
-                - show syntax help if an invalid option is used
-                - added makepkg option to disable ccache support
-              - changed license field to operate as an array, not a string
-              - added more logic for file conflict checks - if one target
-                is a file and the other is a directory, then it's a conflict
-              - fixed the integrity check in pacman-optimize
-              - reverted NoUpgrade to old behaviour and instead, added the
-                NoExtract directive to pacman.conf, which prevents a file
-                from ever being extracted on to the system
-                 eg, NoExtract = home/httpd/html/index.html
-2.9.6         - added a pacman-optimize script to try and defragment the DB
-              - modified NoUpgrade behaviour to avoid extracting files
-                that are missing from the filesystem -- this helps in
-                situations where the admin does not want the file there, eg,
-                remove index.html so index.php takes precedence
-              - fixed a bug where files would sometimes go missing if they
-                moved from one package to another
-              - add db_remove() which is responsible for clearing out stale
-                hash table entries when packages are removed
-              - added ccache support to makepkg
-              - patch from Aurelien Foret fixes a few memory leaks
-2.9.5         - bugfix: missing files after re-ordering packages wrt
-                deps with --upgrade
-              - added "Repository" line to -Si output
-              - patch from Tommi Rantala to fix trim() behaviour with
-                empty or whitespace-only strings
-              - fixed removal order when using -Rc or -Rs
-2.9.4         - fixed a bug that was introduced from another bugfix :-/
-2.9.3         - fixed a couple manpage typos
-              - added --ignore to -S operations, works just like IgnorePkg
-              - respect IgnorePkg list when pulling in dependencies
-              - numerous memleak fixes
-              - some code changes to improve customizability/branding
-              - Makefile fix for nonstandard lib search paths (Kevin Piche)
-              - fixed the leftover directories in /tmp
-              - speed improvement patches from Tommi Rantala
-2.9.2         - bugfix for 2.9.1 
-2.9.1         - --refresh now only downloads fresh packages lists if they've
-                been updated (currently only works with FTP)
-2.9           - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
-                is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another
-                package.  -Rs will only remove dependencies that were not
-                explicitly installed.
-              - Added compressed package size to sync DBs -- shows the total
-                size of packages before downloading
-              - Patch from Tommi Rantala:
-                - Allow --info and --list together in queries
-              - Patch from Kevin Piche:
-                - Use list_add_sorted() with -Sg
-              - Patch from Hegedus Marton Csaba:
-                - Better manpage compression
-              - Added checks for additional hyphens in package versions
-              - mktemp was failing if %pmo_root%/tmp was missing -- fixed
-2.8.4         - Added updatesync script from Jason Chu
-              - Changed the pacman binary to be dynamically linked
-                - Included a pacman.static binary as well
-                - Added fakeroot checks when seeing if we're root
-              - Fixed makepkg to use 'tail -n 1' instead of 'tail -1'
-              - Added patch from Kevin Piche:
-                - Cleanup db_loadpkgs(), add list_add_sorted()
-              - Fixed a memory leak in db_find_conflicts()
-2.8.3         - Fixed a little makepkg bug with bash 3.0
-              - Fixed resolvedeps to always prefer literals over provisios
-              - Added --config option to specify an alternate config file
-              - Added "Include" directive to include repositories from
-                config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)
-              - Added patch from Jason Chu:
-                - Even smarter file-conflict checking
-2.8.2         - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
-              - Made --noconfirm actually work.  Go me.
-2.8.1         - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
-                exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman".  It
-                will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed
-                in the HoldPkg list
-              - Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation
-              - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
-                requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by
-                resolvedeps().  Example, if neither "xorg" nor "xfree86" is
-                installed and "blackbox xfree86" is requested, "xfree86" will
-                be used instead of "xorg"
-              - Added patch from Jason Chu:
-                - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
-                  with files that move from one package to another
-2.8           - Bugfixes:
-                - #861:  file:/// urls not handled properly with XferCommand

-                - #986:  makepkg -e doesn't validate files
-                - #1010: add -j option to makepkg
-                - #1028: make pacman -Sp runnable as non-root

-                portability
-              - added explicit unlink() calls when --force is used, which
-                prevents those nasty "Text file busy" errors when you
-                force-upgrade something like pacman or glibc.
-2.7.9         - added the "force" option to packages, so --sysupgrade can

-              - added -Qs option (bug #854)
-              - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
-                conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you
-                can now do this by specifying the provisio target as both a
-                provides and a conflict, eg:
-                   conflicts=('x-server')
-                   provides=('x-server')
-              - cleaned up the download progress bar a bit

-              - found an out-dated reference to /usr/abs, fixed
-              - added a --recursive option for package removal, which removes
-                all deps of a target that aren't required by other packages
-2.7.4         - fixed a bug in conflict handling, where installing a
-                conflicting package would fail even if the new package
-                "provided" it
-              - if pacman sees a newer version of itself during an upgrade,
-                it will ask to install itself first, then be re-run to upgrade
-                the other packages.
-              - You can now use the --info option with --sync to display an
-                uninstalled package's dependency info.

-              - buffer overflow fix (bug #442)

-              - Fixed an argument-passing bug in fakeroot
-              - Modified pacman's behaviour wrt provides -- it now allows
-                multiple packages to be installed, even if they provide the
-                same thing (they were treated as conflicts before)

-                can now either A) download/install missing deps with pacman
