... and remove conflicting packages. I think that is worth mentioning. Or just say that -U now works more like -S, whatever is easier. OT: It's a great feature, I already took advantage of it only minutes after installing pacman 3.4.

How about: <li>Installing package with -U is now smart like -S — dependencies and conflicts are now handled</li>

Very nice.

s/GIT/Git/ but unneeded if below suggestion is applied. Partially because of my hate of 'click here' links, but more because of preferring a different style of linking, I suggest to replace NEWS file located in GIT, which can be accessed <a href="http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/NEWS?id=v3.4.0">here</a>. with <a href="http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/NEWS?id=v3.4.0">NEWS file</a>.
