As usual, please report any issues or regressions to the [bug tracker][1] after searching to see if your bug already exists. The changes in this release are detailed in the [NEWS file][2]. Noteable changes in this release: * New "Architecture" option that will restrict pacman to installing only packages from the given architecture * Installing package with -U is now smart like -S — dependencies and conflicts are now handled * New --print and --print-format options to output in suitable format for wrapper scripts * Repository updates are faster as only new entries are extracted * makepkg now aborts automatically with any errors during packaging * makepkg now allows overrides of pkgver, pkgrel and arch in split packages * ...and many more improvements. Thanks again to all of the developers and contributors that have made this release possible!
