Added

• swupdate:
  • List (-l), download (-d), and install (-i) options now all execute
    the new dbupdate(8) first, if
    it is available. This helps ensure that the certificate authority
    database is up-to-date before fetching or installing further updates.
• CHANGELOG.md:
  • Added this CHANGELOG file with detailed documentation for all prior
    releases

Changed

• swupdate:
  • PATH environment variable is now reset and re-exported to prevent
    poisoning/hijacking. Additionally, the PATH is only temporarily
    expanded to include the package localbase paths (e.g. /usr/local/bin
    and /usr/local/sbin) when working with optional binaries installed
    via pkg_add(1), for example: checkrestart(8).
  • Internal variable tool renamed to _self
• README.md:
  • Updated to note new support for dbupdate(8)
  • Added new 'Security Precautions' section noting dbupdate(8), PATH
    poisoning/hijacking prevention, privilege drop, etc.
