A very draft NEWS item based on "git shortlog --no-merges master --not v3.3.0". May be a bit makepkg-centric, but numbers of patches for makepkg is quite high this time and many pacman patches are the "not-newsworthy" type...
That's an interesting git command, but shouldn't you use maint or v3.3.3 rather than v3.3.0 ? And maybe it's better to look at the bug tracker for finding the most important and visible changes : http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=index&tasks=&project=3&due=69&status[]= But I think your list is already mostly fine, except it miss the single most important change IMO :) commit 0da96abc900560f21c643b255c94a60232f4a24b Author: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Date: Tue Jun 9 17:23:46 2009 +0200 Use sync.c for upgrade transaction prepare and commit This patch utilizes the power of sync.c to fix FS#3492 and FS#5798. Now an upgrade transaction is just a sync transaction internally (in alpm), so all sync features are available with -U as well: * conflict resolving * sync dependencies from sync repos * remove unresolvable targets That's two long standing bugs, to say the least.
