This was noted in the release note. The head branch of the ports tree has been changed to be by default on pkg = 1.6+ not the quarterly branch. Note that I understand that it is unconvenient and in the futur I would make sure that the minimal version required in the head branch of the ports tree would never be higher than the version available in the quarterly branch. Also note that pkg 1.6+ will be in the next quarterly which will be branche= d in 2 days. The fact that portmaster does not update pkg in priority if there is a new version of pkg available is a portmaster bug and should be fixed.
