This release features some small bug fixes and improvements, and adds a couple of operations to set and get the primary mirror.
Among other minor changes, this release makes pkgtools and all the subprocesses run with C locales for consistency with the expected behaviour of several tools like tar, and makes the list-transient and list-new operation print the package paths next to the package names for new packages.
This release makes the URL printing operations use the primary mirror when printing signature URLs. In addition, it prints a warning when a proxy has been detected during the update operation.
This release fixes a problem in the changelog entry ordering with the "full-changelog" operation, adds the "replace" operation suitable for package name changes and other similar situations, and makes the program use a primary mirror to download the GnuPG key and the package signatures. This prevents an attacker from setting up an evil mirror and try to pass an old, vulnerable but signed package version as a new version by simply renaming the old package and signature files.
