Big thanks to Allan for saving the precious time of Dan :) Nagy, are you still interested by improving that list with your suggestions : http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-July/012362.html Even if it is incomplete, if you could only provide the few items mentioned there in a presentable way for the NEWS file, it would still be very helpful.

I believe it's worth of top news in home page, well done, my dudes.

Yes. I am interested. IMHO 1/B came true in Allan's proposed NEWS file. After alpm.h diff I have the following suggestions in "API change" (or in libalpm-specific changes) section, briefly: -download callback API changed: alpm_cb_download, alpm_cb_totaldl split (+ new alpm_option_get_totaldlcb(), alpm_option_set_totaldlcb() functions) -alpm_db_whatprovides() was removed -unsigned long->off_t changes where size is used -new alpm_delta_get_from_md5sum(), alpm_delta_get_to_md5sum() -pmsyncpkg_t struct changes: -pmsynctype_t and alpm_sync_get_type() were removed -alpm_sync_get_data() was removed -new alpm_sync_get_removes() -PM_TRANS_TYPE_ADD pmtranstype_t (add transaction) was removed -PM_TRANS_FLAG_DEPENDSONLY pmtransflag_t was removed, PM_TRANS_FLAG_ALLEXPLICIT, PM_TRANS_FLAG_UNNEEDED and PM_TRANS_FLAG_RECURSEALL flags were added. -PM_TRANS_EVT_EXTRACT_DONE event was removed. -trans->targets was removed, so alpm_trans_get_targets() as well -alpm_splitdep is not public any more -new causingpkg field in pmdepmissing_t: alpm_miss_get_causingpkg() -new alpm_checkdbconflicts() -PM_ERR_OPT_*, PM_ERR_PKG_INSTALLED, PM_ERR_DLT_CORRUPTED, PM_ERR_LIBARCHIVE_ERROR error codes were removed; PM_ERR_DLT_INVALID, PM_ERR_LIBARCHIVE, PM_ERR_LIBDOWNLOAD, PM_ERR_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD codes were added -(!) alpm_grp_get_pkgs returns with pmpkg_t list, not package-name list -(!) Swap parameters on PM_TRANS_CONV_INSTALL_IGNOREPKG callback function -(TODO?) static->dynamic change in "error data list" Bye
-alpm_sync_newversion() function was introduced
-alpm_deptest() function was introduced
+ - removed alpm_sync_get_newversion function
See 77c3cf9790472592902183354ea5481cffc01f58. I made a stupid mistake in commit description (that was already committed when I realised it, and I didn't want to bring up that): the function was alpm_sync_get_newreason (see commit details) /palmface Bye

Oops, my sign off :P Well, let's just fix that error in the NEWS file.
From a translator's perspective: I think Turkish and Simplified Chinese are entirely new to 3.2. I am quite in a hurry and cannot check it right now, but I seem to recall from memory that the original work was submitted some months ago, but never made it into any official version. I might be wrong, but two more languages would be good news indeed.

Simplified chinese made it into one of the 3.1.x release, but turkish is indeed new, so good point.

Bye P.S. I hope Dan can "decode" this messy thread ;-)

You can always take Allan's patch from his git tree : http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=pacman.git;a=shortlog;h=... and amend it with all the updates. But the one taking care of it should tell it here, to avoid duplicated and/or conflicting work.

I will try to do this soon. Thanks again guys for chipping in- this is one of the things I hate about making a new release, going back and doing all this. As a note- if you do something newsworthy in a patch, feel free to make an entry to the NEWS file in your commit. That way we could spread the work out a bit. -Dan
