* Portage now warns if an ebuild repository does not have a name, as several
new features in 2.2 make use of or require named repositories. The repository
name is stored in profiles/repo_name in each repository.
-* Package set support: There are several important notes regarding package
- sets:
- - setnames have to be prefixed with @ (exceptions: 'world' and 'system' can
- be used without the prefix)
- - they may currently only include simple and versioned atoms or other sets,
- use conditionals or any-of constructs aren't possible yet
- - sets can be referenced either in other file-based sets or as argument to
- emerge, but not in ebuilds, config files or other tools at this time.
- - packages won't be unmerged if they are referenced by an installed package
- set (with the exception of the world set, and installed being determined
- by the world_sets file).
-* "world" no longer includes "system" unconditionally, but you can add
- "@system" to the world_sets file to restore the old state.

+portage-2.1.13
+==================================
+
+* FEATURES=userpriv and usersandbox are enabled by default.
+* FEATURES=usersync is enabled by default.
+* New sync-cvs-repo, sync-type and sync-uri attributes in repos.conf replace
+ SYNC variable.
+
+portage-2.1.12
+==================================
+
+* FEATURES=preserve-libs is enabled by default.
+* ACCEPT_RESTRICT variable may be used to mask packages based on RESTRICT.
+
+portage-2.1.11
+==================================
+* User-defined package sets can now be created by placing files in the
+ /etc/portage/sets/ directory. Refer to the emerge(1) and portage(5) man
+ pages for more information.
+* The "selected" package set, which includes packages listed in
+ /var/lib/portage/world, has been extended to include nested sets that may
+ be listed /var/lib/portage/world_sets.
+
+portage-2.1.10.61
+==================================
+* FEATURES=config-protect-if-modified is now enabled by default. This causes
+ the CONFIG_PROTECT behavior to be skipped for files that have not been
+ modified since they were installed.
+
+portage-2.1.10.27
+==================================
+* FEATURES=fixpackages is now enabled unconditionally. Set --package-moves=n
+ in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS if you need to temporarily avoid package moves for
+ some reason.
+
+portage-2.1.10
+==================================
+* The emerge --autounmask option is now enabled by default. The
+ --autounmask-write option can be used to have config changes automatically
+ written to the appropriate files (respecting --ask and CONFIG_PROTECT). If
+ --autounmask behavior is not desired as the default behavior, then it can
+ be disabled by adding --autounmask=n to the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS variable in
+ make.conf. Refer to the emerge(1) man page for more information.
+
+portage-2.1.9
+==================================
+* The emerge "world" set now includes separate "selected" and "system" sets,
+ where the "selected" set includes packages listed in /var/lib/portage/world.
+* Package set names in emerge arguments have to be prefixed with @ (exceptions:
+ 'world' and 'system' can be used without the prefix).
+* Configuration files now support atoms with wildcards inside the category and
+ package name parts of the atoms.
+* The functionality of the autounmask program is emulated by the new emerge
+ --autounmask option, which outputs required configuration changes for
+ package.accept_keywords and package.use.
+* The new emerge --exclude option allows packages to be excluded from the
+ dependency resolution. Doing so might result in a fatal error. See the
+ emerge(1) man page for details.
+* Per-package environment variables can be set with the new package.env
+ configuration file in /etc/portage/. See the portage(5) man page for details.
+* Support for per-package bashrc files in /etc/portage/env. See the portage(5)
+ man page for details.
+* The package.keywords configuration file in /etc/portage/ is now deprecated.
+ Instead use the package.accept_keywords file which has the same format and
+ behavior. See the portage(5) man page for details.
+* FEATURES="fixlafiles" (enabled by default): Rewrites newly installed .la
+ files in the same way dev-util/lafilefixer does. Note that this won't fix
+ your installed .la files.
+
+portage-2.1.8
+==================================
+* The new --rebuilt-binaries option will replace installed packages with binary
+ packages that have been rebuilt. Rebuilds are detected by comparison of
+ BUILD_TIME package metadata. This option is enabled automatically when using
+ binary packages (--usepkgonly or --getbinpkgonly) together with --update and
+ --deep.
portage-2.1.7
--------------
+==================================
* Default behavior for emerge commands has changed so that packages are only
updated when necessary. In order to ensure that all packages are updated
when possible, you must now specify the -u/--update option. See bug #275945
for the rationale behind this change.
+* If using python3, you may notice that some types of program output which
+ require a tty device (like the wget progress bar) will be disabled. This
+ is due to an upstream python issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue5380. See
+ bug #287648 for more information.
+* Licenses in the @EULA license group are now masked by the default
+ ACCEPT_LICENSE setting. You can unmask all licenses by setting
+ ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" in /etc/make.conf. See the make.conf(5) man page for
+ more information about ACCEPT_LICENSE.
