+ <body>
+ <p>Lots of work has been done on the pkg(8) front, that brought
+ pkg(8) to the 1.5.0 release.</p>
+
+ <p>Special attention has been spent on the test suite, the
+ number of tests went from around 20 to more than 70. Mostly
+ functional tests. Each test can in fact test many different
+ features.</p>
+
+ <p>One of the main highlights is initial support for
+ provides/requires has been implemented, while it is still
+ simple, it is good enough to allow fixing lot of situation when
+ dealing with php related ports: able to safely upgrade from one
+ major version to another. This allows for the pecl/pear
+ packages to be reinstalled each time a minor php upgrade is
+ done.</p>
+
+ <p>Some pkg internals have been reworked to allow cross installation
+ of packages without the need for chroot(2) or jail(2) calls.</p>
+
+ <p>The plist and keyword parser have been improved to keep simplifying
+ creating new ports:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Keywords can now have arguments</li>
+ <li>Lazy mode available for setting credentials via the
+ plist</li>
+ <li>Flags (immutable and others) can now be specified in
+ plist</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>pkg now support fetch resume for http/ftp</p>
