1- We can cache the result of the first xbps_pkgdb_init() when it fails
and avoid the malloc/free/access from it.
2- We cache the uname(2) result into a private var in xbps_handle and
use it in xbps_pkg_arch_match().
This improves performance by ~5% approx and it's close as it was before
introducing the repository index format 1.5.
- xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg in best match case, now returns the
newest package version available in rpool.
- Added xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg_exact that returns a package
by exact matching a pkgver.
- Removed xbps_handle_alloc(), the user is free to use memory
allocated from heap or stack.
- Improved API documentation in preparation for 0.12.
Bumped XBPS_API_VERSION again.
struct xbps_handle::conffile has been renamed to confdir, and it now
expects the path to a directory, where the configuration files are
stored.
Change xbps-bin(8) and xbps-repo(8) along with its manpages to mention
that -C expects a directory.
- XBPS now expects to read individual virtual pkg settings from
.plist files in PREFIX/etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d.wants.
This really implements the missing part in issue #12 in
googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=12
- Configuration file 'xbps-conf.plist' has been splitted off into
two files: conf.plist and repositories.plist. By default they
are stored in etc/xbps.
- Changed some members in xbps_handle struct, mostly to make it easy
to change its value in {cache,root}dir and conffile.
- Made xbps_init() release proplib objects as soon as we don't need
them, that way it uses 35% less of memory or in some cases even more.
There will be another commit that will implement to read new virtualpkg
settings by the user, as specified in:
http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=12
- A configuration file "xbps-conf.plist" replaces the (un)register target
in xbps-repo(8) and (un)set-prop in xbps-bin(8). For now, you can set
the repositories and prefered virtual packages.
- New package pattern matching code from NetBSD. Supports more ways of
matching patterns in packages.
- Multiple bugs fixed in virtual packages related matching code.

rename : LICENSE => COPYING
That means that the following functions were removed:
- xbps_set_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
- xbps_get_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
With this change fixed an obvious typo that made -c argument to not work,
and now the cache directory is an absolute path not relative to rootdir.
This structure sets up function callbacks for fetching files and
unpacking binary packages, as well as setting the debug boolean.
This way the affected functions (xbps_fetch_file() and
xbps_unpack_binary_pkg()) do not need to accept the fn cb pointers
and data as arguments.
Bump XBPS_RELVER.
