(#24717, raimue in r65246) + + - Fetching from servers that require a cookie to be set now works. + (#24584, raimue in r66785) + + - Fixed an error when everything is deleted from the patchfiles list. + (#24178, raimue in r65243) + + - Added 'license:' pseudo-port selector. (#24123, perry in r65033) + + - Added new fetch.type 'bzr'. (#23436, perry in r65096) + + - Added 'rdeps' and 'rdependents' actions, recursive versions of 'deps' + and 'dependents' respectively. Also added 'depof:', 'rdepof:', + 'dependentof:' and 'rdependentof:' pseudo-port selectors, for specifying + the ports that are dependencies or dependents of the given port. + (#22346, jmr in r65858/r66198) + + - Updated the description of the search action in the port(1) man page. + (#23749, jmr in r66670) + + - Dry-run now uses /dev/null as the statefile, which prevents a couple of + problems involving locking and variant checks. + (#21794, #21962; jmr in r66921) + + - The list of dependencies to be installed is now displayed immediately + after computing them. (#21540, jmr in r66321) + + - The quick index is now reloaded after syncing in interactive mode, which + prevents errors due to it not matching the updated PortIndex. + (#20874, jmr in r66319, refinement of patch from carrel.org:edward) + + - The architectures of dependencies are checked when installing a port. If + a dependency does not provide the required arch(s), it is rebuilt with + +universal if that is possible and will help, otherwise the install fails + and an error message explains why. (#20728, jmr in r65087) + + - New supported_archs option allows ports to indicate which architectures + they can be built for. The default values of configure.build_arch and + configure.universal_archs change based on this list. Set this to + 'noarch' if a port installs only architecture-independent files. + (#20739, jmr in r64372/r64945) + + - Declaring a variant that requires one or more other variants will now + correctly set the required variants, so they can be checked with + variant_isset. (#19224, jmr in r66642) + + - 'port outdated' now indicates the reason why a port that appears to have + the same version as that in the tree is considered outdated. Possible + reasons are that the epoch is higher, or the installed version was built + on a different OS version. (#19138, jmr in r64960) + + - Distfile names are now percent-escaped in the download URLs when needed. + (#18736, jmr in r66794) + + - buildnicevalue is now applied to configure and destroot commands, and to + build commands with unusual names. (#18304, raimue in r65076/r65808) + + - Removed hardcoded /opt/local prefix from the base dmg resources. + (#17633, jmr in r66776) + + - Fixed an error that occurred when archive mode was enabled but + ${prefix}/var/macports/packages did not exist. (#17579, jmr in r66775) + + - Syncing rsync sources now tries to get a platform-specific version of + the PortIndex from the server, and skips this if the local copy is less + than a day old. All sync methods now update the PortIndex at the end. + (#17157, jmr in r66846/r67207) + + - portindex(1) now skips parsing Portfiles whose modification time is + older than the current PortIndex, instead reusing the existing entry. + (#16235, jmr in r66845) + + - Added a 'requested' flag to the registry that indicates which ports were + installed explicitly (as opposed to as a dependency of something else). + This enables the new 'requested', 'unrequested' and 'leaves' pseudo- + ports, as well as the --follow-dependencies option for uninstall. + (#15260, jmr in r64517, r64663, r65546, r66037, r66200, r66215) + + - The macports1.0 directory is now installed to + ${prefix}/share/macports/Tcl rather than /Library/Tcl. A symlink will be + installed in the old location if there is nothing there already, so + 'package require macports' will still work in tclsh. + (#12943, jmr in r65055) + + - Added warning and error messags when Xcode is old enough to cause + problems or too old to use at all, respectively. (#12794, jmr in r66771) + + - Removed the rather outdated copy of sqlite3 from the source tree, made + the sqlite3 directory configurable, and added defaults for non-darwin + platforms. (#12231, jmr in r64358/r64363) + + - There is a new 'archivefetch' target which is run before unarchive when + archive mode is enabled, and attempts to download the archive from a + server. There are currently no sites configured to download from (these + are stored in the ports tree like the mirror sites used for fetch), but + you can set ARCHIVE_SITE_LOCAL in the environment. Note that there is no + integrity checking for archives yet. (#8571, jmr in r64816) + + - Now recording negative variants in the registry, which stops deselected + variants from being reactivated on upgrade due to default_variants or + variants.conf settings. (#2377, jmr in r64533) + + - Added support for pre- and post- procedures for the activate, deactivate + and uninstall targets. This feature requires portdbformat sqlite. There + was limited support for pre- and post-activate previously, but the + procedures were only run when installing the port, not when activating + an inactive version. (#1068, #4228, #18273; jmr in r64638/r64639) + + - Integrated the sqlite-based registry2.0 code. The portdbformat variable + in macports.conf can be set to 'sqlite' to enable it. Existing flat + receipts will be converted the first time port(1) is run with sufficient + privileges. Original code by sfiera, fixed and integrated by jmr in + r63398 and following. The new format lacks a number of problems that the + old one suffers from, including #13054 (dependencies from old port + versions stick around across upgrades) and #14123 (files whose paths + differ only in case are left behind when uninstalling). + + - Fixed file list in +CONTENTS file in archives. (#21864, jmr in r59882) + + - Fixed a few issues reported with building MacPorts on Linux. (#22716) + + - Upgrade will now always choose the port that is active when following + dependencies that could be satisfied by more than one port and more than + one of these is installed, instead of choosing the one actually named in + the depspec. (#23921, jmr in r60883) + + - Extracting from a disk image ("use_dmg yes") no longer fails when there + is a space in $worksrcdir. (#23456, raimue in r67089) + + - Added a configure.sdkroot option which can be used to build against a + Mac OS X SDK. It is empty by default unless the value of + macosx_deployment_target is not the current OS version, or the universal + variant is set and the current platform is PowerPC Tiger. It is also + possible to set macosx_deployment_target globally in macports.conf now, + but this is unsupported.
