 xbps-0.18 (???):
 
+ * While reconfiguring packages do not flush pkgdb unless it's necessary.
+
+ * While unpacking files from binpkg also check if any symlink has been
+   modified, if true unpack it. If an entry has no changes and file mode
+   or uid/gid differs apply new perms and mode from new pkg.
+
  * When registering a pkg to pkgdb make sure to remove unneeded meta objs
    from its pkg dictionary. Also add a check to xbps-bin(8) to remove those
    objects if found.
