\-------------

New features
* Incremental Indexing
* SkipPrompts
* Any more categories users would like?
* Info3
* Can indent nicely in .info files
* No more support for RFC-822 multi-lines
* Can put comments in pkglist fields
* fast scanpackages with apt-ftparchive
* auto-detection of country

* New --trees option restricts fink to using .info files in the chosen tree(s).
* new fink cleanup syntax
* New --maintainer mode
* New --log-output and --logfile flags to save transcripts of package building process
* Integrated scanpackages, including ability to not index restrictive packages.
* Support for running package test suites
* reevaluate fink --tree=stable list
* Validator:
* Complain about > and < in dependency versioning (in .info).
* dmacks: complete overhaul of .deb (val-unpack branch)
* InfoN validator patch vasi fixed it the way he likes it
* RangerRick: 'fink build foo-1.0-1' where a .deb exists in the bindist for foo-1.0-1 and UseBinaryDist is true should build locally, not fetch from the bindist.
* Info3: allow comment lines in pkglist fields
* "chown -h" functionality during --build-as-nobody (use Command:chowname_hr?)
* dmacks: overhaul buildlocks to go away more automatically and have a cleaner cleanup
* Automatically do cleanup when embarking on a package installation or removal
* dmacks: buildlock destruction
* Checking via lock_wait and PreRm
* Removal on build failure via Fink::Finally
* remove line-number in SysState error
* BuildConflicts breakage
* chown_hR is still leaving nobody-owned links.
* progress bar during indexing ("." every 100 .info processed or
every 10% of set of .info processed?) -- newbies to HEAD have
complained index -f "has hung"...can take up to 5 minutes
* alternate checksum algorithms

Bug fixes
* Fink no longer gets confused by debs in a local apt repository
* When asking to choose mirrors, fink orders choices alphabetically
properly, and presents a reasonable set of mirrors when the user
asks for all those on a continent.
* BuildConflicts should actually work
* many more we've forgotten all about...
