The package development team has released pkg(8) 1.4. + This release fixes lots of bugs and adds some new features: +

Stricter checking of the path passed via the plist
Change in the ABI to be closer to MACHINE_ARCH
Add three-way merge functionnality
Add conservative upgrade support for multi repository configurations
Multirepository priority

An important part of the development direction for the 1.4 + release has been done on stabilizing the existing features, and + improving the pkg(8) experience on small/embedded + machines (reduce memory usage, speed up operations).

pkg(8) is not only the &os; Package Manager, but the + Package Manager for DragonflyBSD. Additionally support has been + added to build pkg(8) on OS X and Linux. This work + will allow other Operating Systems the option of adopting + pkg(8) to manage their packages and bring new + developers into the project.
