1 Release Notes; upgrade information mainly.
2 Features/major bugfixes are listed in NEWS
5 ==================================
7 * new cache framework, breaking all old cache modules.
8 If you're having problems with portage_db_cdb, this is likely the cause.
9 * USE flag output ordering has changed. The old ordering is now an option
10 by the name of --alphabetical. Adding the option to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS
11 in make.conf will restore the old behaviour permanently.
12 * The deprecated --inject has been removed, use /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
13 * The deprecated --upgradeonly has been removed, use /etc/portage/package.*
15 * 'emerge sync' has been deprecated, use 'emerge --sync' instead (same
17 * Tools that call emerge should override the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS environment
18 variable or use the emerge --ignore-default-opts option.
19 * rsync option handling has been redesigned, instead of RSYNC_* variables
20 use PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS from now on.
21 * autouse (use.defaults) has been deprecated by specifying USE_ORDER in make.defaults
22 Users may still turn this back on by specifying USE_ORDER="env:pkg:conf:auto:defaults"
23 in make.conf. Interested in figuring out what use flags were turned off? Check out
24 /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults and other use.defaults files that correspond
