Release Notes for opkg-0.2.4
============================

This is mostly a bugfix release:

- Improve handling of failed installs. Package status is now set to 'install
  reinst-required half-installed' and advice on how to rectify the situation is
  now given.

- Improve handling of upgrades, and fix detection of orphan packages. Orphan
  RECOMMENDS will now be removed during an upgrade, as well as orphan DEPENDS,
  if autoremove is enabled. However, packages which move from DEPENDS to
  RECOMMENDS will now be kept. (issue 144)

- Improve handling of package flags.

- Fix 'opkg whatconflicts'.

- Fix handling of '--force-removal-of-dependent-packages'. (issue 140)

- Fix selection between multiple providers of the same abstract package. (issue
  152)

- Fix uname and gname caching during package extraction.

- Fix verification of release metadata files.

- Fix possible segfault in 'pkg_hash_fetch_conflicts()'.

- Use 'sh' instead of 'bash' as the interpreter for 'opkg-check-config'.
