* The functionality of the autounmask program is emulated by the new emerge
--autounmask option, which outputs required configuration changes for
package.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/p[ortage/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 wont fix
+ your installed .la files.
