Sorry for not sending changes as a patch, I'm at work on windoze now.
I'm going to use this to add on to, if I remember any important user-visible changes (note: user-visible is important, IMO). You all feel free to do the same. Right now, I can't think of anything though.

- pacman now honours Oops, this should be something about fixes for force=y option, but I forget in which BR/FR I read that and can't find it now.
Aaron, I think we can remember more user and makepkg'er noticeable changes when reading trough BRs/FRs closed in last few months, but I don't see such feature in flyspray (I even don't have "Reports" functionality since time I got bughunter rights). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

pacman: - added -arch suffix to package tarballs - the speed of operations with lists is greatly improved Already a speed related comment in there (selective loading of database...) - proxy support (right after "- switch to usage of libdownload and libarchive" line) Added. - pacman now asks confirmation before cleaning cache Eh...true, but small. Nothing groundbreaking, as this probably should have been done before, so it was more of a bugfix. - fixes for version checking Bugfix? Do we really want to document all of these? - pacman now honours force=y option on -S operation Another bugfix, so I don't know if we need to document it. I want to keep NEWS concise enough that people will actually want to read it.
makepkg: - installed dependencies are removed when build fails too Added. - -g and -o don't require -f and don't do deps check now Bugfix. - possibility to select paths to strip from info/docs Added.
- added testing repo to abs Added.

OK, I agree that notices about bugfixes are not needed. But don't forget to add: "a ton of bugfixes" somewhere to the bottom of 3.0.0 changelog. ;-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
