o Add ALT_INDEX array to pkgtools.conf. The array holds additional
INDEX files. Useful for local categories.
o Add to pkgtools.conf a new dirrective: include_hash('glob').
It downloads keys and values (splitted by '=>') from files
coincided with 'glob' and returns a filled hash. The glob is
related to PREFIX. [1]
o Add a summary messages on each upgrade/install transaction:
how many tasks and how many task done. [2]
o Make portupgrade(1) with -D option really remove a broken distfile.
But it works only if FETCH_CMD set to use fetch(1) (it's default). [3]
o Bugs fixes

you have a good client using an IP listed on a RBL, this person cannot have a
chance to auth on qmail server if server uses rblsmtpd because connection is
dropped before call qmail-smtpd.
This patch fix this problem, changing rblsmtpd to doesn't drop the connection,
just set a var, that will be checked by patched qmail-smtpd, and if person is
authenticated, it ignores rbl check.

The program uses the NIS interface from apcupsd to collect event and status
information for display to the end-user. Because of this great interface,
this program can be executed on any OS supported machine and use the network
socket interface to connect back to apcupsd.

o Really fix *_rc_scripts. The last fix was uncomplited.
o Set both make argument and environment variable to PORT_UPGRADE=yes.
It makes possible a port or a package (via install/deinstall scripts)
to detect if it builds/installs/deinstalls under portupgrade(1) [1]
o Add to pkgtools.conf a new directive: include_eval('file')
The file will included and evaluated in the place where encountered.
The file path looking inside of PREFIX. [2]
o Add to pkgtools.conf ALT_MOVED. The array holds alternate MOVED file.
E.g. for files in EXTRA_CATEGORIES. [3]
o Allow install port by origin. E.g. portinstall lang/ruby18
o Make pkgdb offer install a stale dependency before selecting it from
installed. [4]

found on many modern scanners which are intended to trigger certain actions
like copying, faxing or mailing the scanned document.
This daemon queries the scanner button state several times per second via
libusb and if it detects that a button is pressed it runs a shell script with
the button number as an argument.
The supported scanner backends currently are: epson, niash, plustek, snapscan

rather than just leaving them in the examples directory. There seems
to be no real security advantage to not installing the pam files since
they are required for fcron and fcrontab to operate, and root privs are
required to install fcron to begin with.
- The sockaddr.sa_len was not set prior to calls to bind() and connect().
The upshot begin that fcrondyn was unable to open the socket
to communicate with fcron.

o Fix -O that should force ignoring dependency errors,
but really did not work [1]
o Add PKG_BACKUP_DIR environment variable where specified
a directory where will keep saved packages (-b).
Default: PKG_PATH (PORTSDIR/packages/All) [2]
o Add MAKE_ENV in pkgtools.conf that is like MAKE_ARGS but
allows to set environment variables for ports [3]
o Fix pkg_fetch(1) to guess a right source directory for
download (All or Latest). It works in much more cases now [4]
And make a notice for using of '@' in package name more clean.
o *_rc_scripts internal procs don't recognize RC-scripts without .sh.
It's wrong for 6.0+ [5]
o Fix pkgdb -s [6]
o Add firefox in a browser list in portcvsweb(1)
o Revive NEWS file

- Update to 2.1.0
o rewrite version checking. Now it's compliant with pkg_version(1) algorythm
o fix shebangs in test/*
o add test in test_pkgversion.rb from test-pkg_version.sh
o fix test_pkgdb.rb
o fix pointyhat URL in pkgtools.conf and pkgtools.rb
o make comparisons when updates from packages. It compared package names
instead versions. It gives a weird results when port was renamed
(eg. mozilla-firebird -> firefox) [1]
o don't show a warning about origin changing when origins are the same. [2]
It rids us from messages like:
Package origin of 'pan' has been changed: 'news/pan' -> 'news/pan'
