<p>The package development team has released <tt>pkg(8)</tt> 1.4.
This release fixes lots of bugs and adds some new features:
<ul>
<li>Stricter checking of the path passed via the plist</li>
<li>Change in the ABI to be closer to MACHINE_ARCH</li>
<li>Add three-way merge functionnality</li>
<li>Add conservative upgrade support for multi repository configurations</li>
<li>Multirepository priority</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>An important part of the development direction for the 1.4
release has been done on stabilizing the existing features, and
improving the <tt>pkg(8)</tt> experience on small/embedded
machines (reduce memory usage, speed up operations).</p>
<p><tt>pkg(8)</tt> is not only the &os; Package Manager, but the
Package Manager for DragonflyBSD. Additionally support has been
added to build <tt>pkg(8)</tt> on OS X and Linux. This work
will allow other Operating Systems the option of adopting
<tt>pkg(8)</tt> to manage their packages and bring new
developers into the project.</p>
