VERSION DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.2.1 - fix segfault on importing PGP keys for -U operations - fix distribution of meson files - fix inode command for darwin/bsd - distribute all documentation files - update bash/zsh completion for -F changes, remove --force - makepkg: - fix calculation of package sizes in presence of hardlinks - do not warn about PACKAGER format if not set - only run --clean when a package is built - repo-add: - fix compression of databases with zstd 5.2.0 - completely remove delta support (CVE-2019-18183) - add support to pacman and pacman-key for downloading PGP signing keys using the WKD protocol (FS#63171) - completely remove the --force option - renovate and simplify the UI for -F (FS#47949) - hooks: rename type File to Path, for accuracy - add the meson build system as an alternative to autotools, and distribute it in autotools dist tarballs - switch from system() to exec() when using alternative download agents for XferCommand; this prevents a potential source of shell injection (CVE-2019-18182) - ignore .hook suffix when sorting libalpm hooks - update the minimum requirement of bash to 4.4 - scripts: pass on options such as set -x to child processes - show group and installed status during -Fs - user-visible log when validity check fails due to access - port pactest to python3 - process --needed before group selection when resolving the dependencies to prompt for (FS#22870) - don't error when a group exists but all packages are ignored - bash completion now completes when it should, and doesn't complete when it shouldn't (FS#59965) - improve error message when gpg support is missing (FS#60880) - don't emit confusing errors when a package is simultaneously replaced and upgraded (FS#50875, FS#55534) - better warning message when skipping duplicate targets (FS#49377) - libalpm: parse {check, make}depends when reading database (FS#60347) - add [ignored] to -Qu output for packages in repos that are not Usage = Upgrade (FS#59854) - prevent 301 redirect loop from hanging libalpm - use standard, consistent units in the download progress (FS#59201) - fix segfault when Usage is specified without a value - include timezones in pacman.log - bash-completion: use POSIX character classes for portability - correctly report a download failiure for 404s - fix handling of signals during SIGSEGV - fix buffer overread in pacman/callback - fix crash when downloading files with a Content-Disposition that has no directory component - pacman-conf, testpkg are now properly localized - when -F returns zero results, set a failing exit code - improve wording for the error message when a package cannot be removed due to dependencies - fix segfaults and other incorrect behavior when using -Qip if pacman was compiled without GPGME support - makepkg: - implement extendable source/signature verification routines within libmakepkg (FS#49076) - if pacman is in use, wait until it is available before continuing (FS#28840) - add support for lzip, lz4 and zst compressed packages (FS#56676, FS#59081) - add new checksum algorithm, b2sum - various improvements to PKGBUILD linting - when signing packages, report package filename on failure - fix pkgver() function not aborting on errors - remove checksum algorithm whirlpoolsum as it has not worked for a long time - reject PKGBUILDs with both split and non-split package functions - send status messages to stderr rather than stdout (FS#17173) - ensure debug buildflags are unset when they are supposed to be - buildenv and executable detection, definitions for the PKGBUILD schema, and makepkg.conf loading are now part of libmakepkg - fix broken check for the fakeroot binary - improve the error message for invalid dependency versioning - add routine for linting $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH - fix the error code when no PKGBUILD exists - use --unneeded when removing build deps to allow runtime-only deps to work well with makepkg -sir (FS#32723) - compute package sizes correctly across different filesystems - use shared clones for git sources to save space when building - fix reporting of invalid archive extensions - correctly handle hg sources with updates on a non-default branch - install pkg-config file for libmakepkg's library directory - propagate error codes when package failed to sign correctly - be compatible with file 5.37's application/gzip MIME type - forbid non-ASCII pkgname and pkgver (FS#49342) - fix exiting on failure without ensuring dependencies are prompted for removal (FS#63000) - quiet superfluous warnings for missing debug source files for artificial symbols - add routine for linting $PACKAGER to check that it has a valid name and email address, and document the desired format in makepkg.conf(5) - add rust support for *FLAGS and debug-prefix-map - correctly handle a system file command with seccomp enabled (FS#58626) - try to more thoroughly clean up logpipe during unusual exit states such as CTRL-C - when installing packages with -sir, be more robust against conflicting makedepends by always uninstalling them first - fix exit code when removing deps fails - reproducible builds: suppress filesystem-specific archive metadata from built packages as they are not needed - pacman-key: - just accept one file to verify, and enforce detached sigs (FS#52022) - after recent GnuPG updates, ensure the Web of Trust is still used - clean keys during import to reduce size consumed by unusable signatures - repo-add: - add support for zst compressed databases - print the name of the database when extracting - do not infinitely loop on malformed arguments with embedded globs - add option to prevent downgrading (FS#17752) - various documentation updates 5.1.3 - Sanitize file name received from Content-Disposition header during -U (CVE-2019-9686) 5.1.2 - pacman-conf: add missing DisableDownloadTimeout support - Include version when checking optdepend install status during -Qi (FS#60106) -

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 -

added the "force" option to packages, so --sysupgrade can downgrade packages when it needs to 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support - added -Qs option (FS#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 - added %o parameter to XferCommand so wget can resume properly - fixed a segfault in downloadfiles() (FS#787) - patches from Oliver Burnett-Hall - gensync uses a better temp dir (FS#774) - PKGDEST can be set in makepkg.conf (FS#783) - patches from Aurelien Foret - segfault fix, couple memory leaks - more sanity checks in "provides" searches - fixed a little display bug in the progress bar - made -Qip look like -Qi - -Sc now removes OLD packages from cache, use -Scc for all 2.7.7 - added an XferCommand directive that will make pacman use an external download utility like wget - added a license field to package meta-data -

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. - Added a sane umask before db writes - buffer overflow fix (FS#442) 2.7.3 - makepkg not longer strips files with .exe or .dll extensions - Added Aurelien's patch: - proxy support (no authentication yet) - HTTP/1.1 support - an improved progress bar with transfer rates and ETA - cleaned up warning output a bit 2.7.2 - Suppressed "No such file" messages during stripping - Removed extra newlines in /var/log/pacman.log -
