Hello fellow devs, |

|
| 3 |
We're pleased to announce that EAPI 4 is now available and allowed in |
| 4 |
the main tree, in ~testing ebuilds :) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
New features in EAPI 4 include REQUIRED_USE, pkg_pretend, REPLACING_VERSIONS |
| 7 |
and REPLACED_BY_VERSION and various other interesting changes and fixes. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
To find out more about EAPI 4, you can read the latest version of the Package |
| 10 |
Manager Specification [0][1]. A shortlist of all the changes is also available |
| 11 |
there [2]. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Please note that at this moment only ~testing Portage supports EAPI 4. This |
| 14 |
means that you'll have to avoid any stabilization of EAPI 4 ebuilds |
| 15 |
until a newer version of Portage is stabilized. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Many thanks to all the people who worked to make EAPI 4 possible! |
