2.2.7 -> 2.2.8:
	- added --ftpproxy, --ftpport (and wrote about them in rpm.8)
	- added --nodeps to man page
	- added --showrc to man page
	- added conflict checking (use conflicts tag, which looks
	  just like the requires tag)
	- fixed RPM's return code when package removal fails
	- cleaned up lib/install.c a bit for readability
	- plugged a bunch of memory leaks thanks to mpr -- install,
	  uninstall, verify, and query all seem clean now
	- added support for trees shared over a network via netsharedpath
	  in rpmrc
	- don't exit when there is an unknown option in an rpmrc, just
	  give an error and continue

2.2.6 -> 2.2.7:
	- applied lots of portability patches
	- builds on Solaris machines now!
	- will build w/o i18n support if GNU gettext isn't installed
	- added inet_aton, setenv functions for libmisc
	- added Sun4c, Sun4m architectures
	- use vfork() if fork() doesn't exist (for AmigaOS)
	- look for GNU cpio, complain if it doesn't exist at build time
	- put path for GNU cpio in /usr/lib/librpmrc
	- install rpm.shared if rpm wasn't built (for Solaris)
	- readHeader() in librpm.a should work on sockets (which may
	  return partial reads)
	- package file query (-q -p) accepts ftp:// style URL's
	- if gzread returns 0 bytes (at EOF), don't call write w/ 0 byte
	  argument as it's behviour isn't portable
	- fixed -Vp behavior (doesn't seg fault w/ packages have dependencies)

2.2.5 -> 2.2.6:
	- added --rebuilddb to rebuild database, updated man page
	- fix fd leak in md5sum
	- fixed group cache bug

2.2.4 -> 2.2.5:
	- if rename() for moving .spec file from SOURCES to SPECS fails,
	  try copying it instead
	- -h and -v work for source package >= V2
	- -h output is much smoother now
	- new AutoReqProv: tag in spec file can disable automatic
          require/provide generation
	- fixed md5sum problem on big endian machines in a way that's
	  mostly backwards compatible; this hack will be removed someday
	- added :fflags tag
	- fixed a couple of minor memory leaks in lib/install.c
	- --test for building

2.2.3 -> 2.2.4:
	- only remove docdir if %doc occurs
	- allow -R to %patch
	- moved to use GNU autoconf, though it probably isn't perfect yet
	  (thanks Kristof Depraetere)
	- spec file sanity: no - chars in version or release,
	  must be a regular file :-)
	- version specifications for requirements can use "-<release number>"
	- default lib path, tmp path, topdir, and /usr/lib/rpmrc get set
	  by configure script relative to --prefix

2.2.2 -> 2.2.3:
	- fixed script file md5 checking when files are in a root
	- implemented proper strdup/free logic for dependency conflict
	  lists
	- strip leading directories from ldd output
	- fix non-null-terminated readlink() result
	- fixed sscanf() in ftp code to use proper types

2.2.1 -> 2.2.2:
	- added functionality to rpmlib to suggest resolutions for
	  dependency problems
	- fix stupid allocation problem in exclude/exclusive stuff
	- fix nasty bug where pointers in to the header were getting
	  stale after some realloc()s in addEntry()
	- ignore OS tag for v2 packages -- it was wrong anyway
	- match shared libs on ".so" rather than ".so."
	- skip blanks from objdump for auto-provide
	- if objdump gets us _end, provide the file name
	- do not ldd non-regular files
	- do not pass leading "/" to ldd
	- fix ExcludeOs: and ExclusiveOs:
	- -V verifies dependencies, can be controlled with --nodeps
	  and --nofiles
	- added information on --nodeps to usage messages
	- implement --timecheck and rpmrc timecheck:
	- implement -bl
	- catch duplicate files in file lists
	- some random sanity checking on the file list

2.2 -> 2.2.1:
	- made rpmRemovePackage() print message in verbose mode
	- added support for ftp://user:pass@machine.org/ URL's
	  during installation - the password will be prompted for
	  if only the user is given, and anonymous ftp will be used
	  it both user and password are omitted (as before)
	- Remove Exclusive: Exclude:
	  Replace with: ExclusiveArch: ExclusiveOs:
		        ExcludeArch: ExcludeOs:
	- fixed dependency cheking for packages that are installed
	  at the same time
	- fixed version number dependency checking
	- fixed problem installing v1 source packages (thanks to
	  Nikita Borisov)
	- fixed minor spelling/spacing problems (Nikita Borisov)
	- assume all v1 packages were made for Linux so OS check works
	- began to implement proxyftp, though it doesn't work yet
	- fixed spacing when reporting dependency conflicts
	- fixed bug where a long name (uname()) was mapping to itself

2.1.2 -> 2.2:
	- don't fail, and do report, if -K can't find a PGP key
	- handle file names with quotes and spaces when passed to ldd
	  (still can't have spaces in %files)
	- do not allow Buildprefix: in sub packages
	- removed require_group from rpmrc -- groups are always required
	- removed arch_sensitive from rpmrc -- always on
	- removed docdir from rpmrc -- always /usr/doc
	- fixed nasty bug in installing packages with large filelists
	- made -R work
	- --provides and --requries don't print anything if no information
	  is present (rather then (none) )
	- -qi prints Summary now
	- changed Buildprefix: -> Buildroot: (spec file, rpmrc)
		  --buildprefix -> --buildroot (command line)
		  RPM_BUILD_PREFIX -> RPM_BUILD_ROOT
					(%prep, %build, %install, %clean)
	  sorry :-)
	- allow Prefix: for sub-packages
	- allow packager: in rpmrc
	- --arch and --os are now --buildarch and --buildos
	- magic arch/os handling through arch_canon and os_canon
	  see /usr/lib/rpmrc (in short: uname short_name num)
	- removed build_arch: from rpmrc
	  Replacing it is buildarchtranslate: and buildostranslate:
	  to allow building with arch/os other than what uname() returns.
	  Can still be overriden with --buildarch and --buildos
	- rpmrc keywords are now case-insensitive
	- check os at install time
	- check return code from gzread() during installs
	- implemented os_compat
	- added arch_compat and os_compat information to --showrc (the
	  changes needed to do this removed any lingering questions about
	  the efficiency of the compat lookups for large tables or tables
	  with loops -- it should all work fine)
	- made -u (--uninstall) exit with an error and not do anything
	- added --ignoreos
	- fixed error message given when a file is missing
	- fixed hashing when multiple packages are being modified
	- changed man page for readability (thanks to Joseph L. Hartmann, Jr)

2.1.1 -> 2.1.2:
	- fixed error message for unrelocateable packages
        - automatic shared lib provides now work with buildprefix
	- fixed dependency checking during upgrades to work if the
	  package wasn't previously installed
	- clean up temp file after signature check
	- dependencies weren't looking through packages that were
	  being installed at the same time quite right

2.1 -> 2.1.1:
	- fixed -qi query format 

2.0.11 -> 2.1:
        - added --requires, --whatrequires, --provides and 
	  --whatprovides queries
	- using a string array tag in a queryformat results in every
	  item in the string being printed out with spaces in between
	  (though this behaviour will probably go away shortly)
	- all packages are ftp'd before any are installed (required to
	  do proper dependency checking)
	- if only source packages are being installed, the database is
	  never opened
	- automatic shared library require/provides tags generated
	- added --nodeps flag for install and uninstall
	- added dependency checking for installs and uninstalls
	- misc fixes to compile with glibc

	- new extensible signature
	- signature section supports multiple signatures
	- --addsign to add a signature to a package
	- PGP key no longer limited to 1024 bits
	- always do at least an MD5 "signature"
	  as a result, -K will always tell you something
	- signatures now include a simple "header+archive size" check
          just calling readSignature() checks this
	- --nopgp (with -K) to skip PGP check, just do MD5
	- allow '#' comments in preamble and %files section
	- fixed -qsv to print both the states and the file information	
	- added --dump option to query to print all file attributes
	- installs with --root use the /etc/passwd and /etc/group from
	  the target directory
	- added --initdb to aid in database initialization
	- --queryformat can print items of type INT8
	- "sourceless" packages with nosource: and nopatch:
	- [] now allows interation through query formats
	- '-' flag for query tags removed
	- :date and :perms supported as query format specifiers
	- new rpmrc entries "arch" and "os" to override
	- --arch and --os on the command line to override
	- arch and os are now strings in the package header
	- added arch_compat handling in /etc/rpmrc
	- added build_arch to /etc/rpmrc
	- support arch as string
	- added --ignorearch option
	- Prefix: in spec file to specify default installation prefix
	- rpmrc and command line may be used to override the path
	  used for the rpm database
	- relocatable packages get installed properly
	- added support for --prefix and RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX environemtn
	  variable
	- added dependency checking for version numbers
	- added correct dependency checking for upgrades
	- added :depflags query format flag
	- changes --provides, --requires, and --scripts queries to use
	  queryFormats

	- fixed the fix to rpm -q <num> bug
	  to query by number you now need --querybynumber
	- made arch_sensitive on by default
	- handle # comments in preamble
	- don't barf if we can't canonicalize the hostname during builds
	- fixed --verify with --root

2.0.8 -> 2.0.9:
	- %files -f <file>
	- prelim Require/Provide handling
	- prelim strict checking of spec file
	- removed some bash-isms
	- fixed globbing/root bug
	- fixed rpm -q <num> bug
	- fixed ftw() related bug where symlinks were being
	  followed in %files rather than just being noted!!
	- pass "upgrade" arg to pre/post scripts when upgrading
	- use PATH to find cpio when installing
	- fixed rpm.magic, added sun4, mips, 68k, sgi, sunos, solaris

	- explicitly turn off ASCII armor when running PGP
	- fixed --noscripts logic, which was on by default and 
	  off if you specified it!
	- uses a temp file to pass filenames to cpio in case when 
	  their are more then 500 filenames in a package
	- added --rcfile
	- fixed problem with $HOME/.rcfile not being read
	- undocumented --search, --where, --keep-temps which
	  will probably won't be implemented in RPM 2.x anyway

        - builds now set umask 022 for all scripts
	- queries relative paths correctly (thanks to Johnie Stafford)
	- fixed error codes for failed installs
	- don't add NULL entry to group index for packages that don't
	  have group information, add it to the "Unknown" group instead
	- added --scripts query option

	- internal changes to error messages

2.0.4 -> 2.0.5:
	- added support for generic querying
	- added --querytags option
	- updated man page for above two
	- short-circuit got added before 2.0.5, but I don't know when
	- query and installs should now return 0 on success and nonzero

	- an incredible number of changes - I won't bother trying to 
	  list them

2.0a -> 2.0b:
	- moved build stuff to main rpm command, though --rebuild is still
	  not supported
	- install should work, although replaced files are not marked as
	  replaced
