1- We can cache the result of the first xbps_pkgdb_init() when it fails
and avoid the malloc/free/access from it.
2- We cache the uname(2) result into a private var in xbps_handle and
use it in xbps_pkg_arch_match().
This improves performance by ~5% approx and it's close as it was before
introducing the repository index format 1.5.
- xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg in best match case, now returns the
newest package version available in rpool.
- Added xbps_repository_pool_find_pkg_exact that returns a package
by exact matching a pkgver.
- Removed xbps_handle_alloc(), the user is free to use memory
allocated from heap or stack.
- Improved API documentation in preparation for 0.12.
Bumped XBPS_API_VERSION again.
struct xbps_handle::conffile has been renamed to confdir, and it now
expects the path to a directory, where the configuration files are
stored.
Change xbps-bin(8) and xbps-repo(8) along with its manpages to mention
that -C expects a directory.
- XBPS now expects to read individual virtual pkg settings from
.plist files in PREFIX/etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d.wants.
This really implements the missing part in issue #12 in
googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=12
- Configuration file 'xbps-conf.plist' has been splitted off into
two files: conf.plist and repositories.plist. By default they
are stored in etc/xbps.
- Changed some members in xbps_handle struct, mostly to make it easy
to change its value in {cache,root}dir and conffile.
- Made xbps_init() release proplib objects as soon as we don't need
them, that way it uses 35% less of memory or in some cases even more.
There will be another commit that will implement to read new virtualpkg
settings by the user, as specified in:
http://code.google.com/p/xbps/issues/detail?id=12
- A configuration file "xbps-conf.plist" replaces the (un)register target
in xbps-repo(8) and (un)set-prop in xbps-bin(8). For now, you can set
the repositories and prefered virtual packages.
- New package pattern matching code from NetBSD. Supports more ways of
matching patterns in packages.
- Multiple bugs fixed in virtual packages related matching code.

rename : LICENSE => COPYING
That means that the following functions were removed:
- xbps_set_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
- xbps_get_{cachedir,flags,rootdir}.
With this change fixed an obvious typo that made -c argument to not work,
and now the cache directory is an absolute path not relative to rootdir.
