576 been updated (currently only works with FTP)
577 2.9 - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
578 is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another

606 2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
607 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
608 2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
609 exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman". It

613 - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
614 requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by

617 be used instead of "xorg"
618 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
619 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
620 with files that move from one package to another

638 prevents those nasty "Text file busy" errors when you

641 downgrade packages when it needs to
642 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
643 - added -Qs option (FS#854)
644 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
645 conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you

677 conflicting package would fail even if the new package
678 "provided" it
