1 Release Notes; upgrade information mainly.
2 Features/major bugfixes are listed in NEWS
5 ==================================
7 * emerge --search doesn't use regular expressions now anymore by default, so
8 emerge --search dvd+rw-tools now works as expected. Regular expressions can be enabled
9 by prefixing the search string with %.
12 ==================================
14 * new cache framework, breaking all old cache modules.
15 If you're having problems with portage_db_cdb, this is likely the cause.
16 * USE flag output ordering has changed. The old ordering is now an option
17 by the name of --alphabetical. Adding the option to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS
18 in make.conf will restore the old behaviour permanently.
19 * The deprecated --inject has been removed, use /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
20 * The deprecated --upgradeonly has been removed, use /etc/portage/package.*
22 * 'emerge sync' has been deprecated, use 'emerge --sync' instead (same
24 * Tools that call emerge should override the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS environment
25 variable or use the emerge --ignore-default-opts option.
26 * rsync option handling has been redesigned, instead of RSYNC_* variables
27 use PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS from now on.
28 * autouse (use.defaults) has been deprecated by specifying USE_ORDER in make.defaults
29 Users may still turn this back on by specifying USE_ORDER="env:pkg:conf:auto:defaults"
30 in make.conf. Interested in figuring out what use flags were turned off? Check out
31 /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults and other use.defaults files that correspond
