1 eselect-1.2_rc1 is now in the tree.
2
3 This version contains relatively large changes for better support of
4 Gentoo Prefix [1], which I think will justify a pretest. Therefore it
5 will stay in package.mask for one or two weeks.
6
7 Other notable changes are:
8
9 - The "basename" and "dirname" functions have been changed, they now
10 output the same result as their command equivalents [2] (as it was
11 always intended [3]). I didn't find any module that specifically
12 relied on the old behaviour, but maybe module authors should
13 double-check.
14
15 - The GLEP 42 news module has finally been renamed from "news-tng"
16 to "news" [4]. Paludis users, please test if interaction with your
17 package manager works.
