What's Changed

• libxbps: fix issues with updating packages in unpacked state. [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: run all scripts before and after unpacking all packages,
  to avoid running things in a half unpacked state. [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: fix configuration parsing with missing trailing newline
  and remove trailing spaces from values. [@eater, @Duncaen]

• libxbps: fix XBPS_ARCH environment variable if architecture
  is also defined in a configuration file. [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: fix memory leaks. [@ArsenArsen]

• libxbps: fix file descriptor leaks. [@gt7-void]

• libxbps: fix temporary redirect in libfetch. [@ericonr]

• libxbps: fix how the automatic/manual mode is set when replacing a
  package using replaces. This makes it possible to correctly replace
  manually installed packages using a transitional packages. [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: fix inconsistent dependency resolution when a dependency
  is on hold. xbps will now exit with ENODEV (19) if a held dependency
  breaks the installation or update of a package instead of just ignoring
  it, resulting in an inconsistent pkgdb. #392 [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: fix issues with XBPS_FLAG_INSTALL_AUTO where already installed
  packages would get marked automatically installed when they are being
  updated while installing new packages in automatically installed mode.
  #557 [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: when reinstalling a package, don't remove directories that are still
  part of the new package. This avoids the recreation of directories which
  trips up runsv, as it keeps an fd to the service directory open that would
  be deleted and recreated. #561 [@Duncaen]

• xbps-install(1): list reinstalled packages. [@Chocimier]

• xbps-install(1): in dry-run mode, ignore out of space error. [@Chocimier]

• xbps-install(1): fix bug where a repo-locked dependency could be updated
  from a repository it was not locked to. [@Chocimier]

• xbps-fetch(1): make sure to exit with failure if a failure was encountered.
  [@Duncaen]

• xbps-fetch(1): fix printing uninitialized memory in error cases. [@Duncaen]

• xbps-pkgdb(1): remove mtime checks, they are unreliable on fat filesystems
  and xbps does not rely on mtime matching the package anymore. [@Duncaen]

• xbps-checkvers(1): with --installed also list subpackages. [@Chocimier]

• xbps-remove(1): fix dry-run cache cleaning inconsistencies. [@Duncaen]

• xbps-remove(1): allow removing "uninstalled" packages (packages in the cache
  that are still up to date but no long installed) from the package
  cache by specifying the -O/--clean-cache flag twice. #530 [@Duncaen]

• xbps-query(1): --cat now works in either repo or pkgdb mode. [@Duncaen]

• xbps-query(1): --list-repos/-L list all repos including ones that
  fail to open. [@Chocimier]

• xbps.d(5): describe ignorepkg more precisely. [@Chocimier]

• libxbps, xbps-install(1), xbps-remove(1), xbps-reconfigure(1),
  xbps-alternatives(1): add XBPS_SYSLOG environment variable to overwrite
  syslog configuration option. [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: Resolve performance issue caused by the growing number of virtual packages
  in the Void Linux repository. #625 [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: Merge the staging data into the repository index (repodata) file.
  This allows downloading the staging index from remote repositories without
  having to keep the two index files in sync. #575 [@Duncaen]

• xbps-install(1), xbps-query(1), xbps-checkvers(1), xbps.d(5): Added --staging flag,
  XBPS_STAGING environment variable and staging=true|false configuration option.
  Enabling staging allows xbps to use staged packages from remote repositories.
  [@Duncaen]

• xbps-install(1), xbps-remove(1): Print package install and removal messages once,
  below the transaction summary, before applying the transaction. #572 [@Chocimier]

• xbps-query(1): Improved argument parsing allows package arguments anywhere in the
  arguments. #588 [@classabbyamp]

• xbps-install(1): Make dry-run output consistent/machine parsable. #611 [@classabbyamp]

• libxbps: Do not url-escape tilde character in path for better compatibility with
  some servers. #607 [@gmbeard]

• libxbps: use the proper ASN1 signature type for packages. Signatures now have a .sig2
  extension. #565 [@classabbyamp]

• xbps-uhelper(1): add verbose output for pkgmatch and cmpver subcommands if the
  -v/--verbose flag is specified. #549 [@classabbyamp]

• xbps-uhelper(1): support multiple arguments for many subcommands to improve pipelined
  performance. #536 [@classabbyamp]

• xbps-alternatives(1): Add -R/--repository mode to -l/--list to show alternatives
  of packages in the repository. #340 [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: fix permanent (308) redirects when fetching packages and repositories. [@Duncaen]

• xbps-remove(1): ignores file not found errors for files it deletes. [@Duncaen]

• libxbps: the preserve package metadata is now also respected for package removals. [@Duncaen]

• xbps-pkgdb(1): new --checks allows to choose which checks are run. #352 [@ericonr,@Duncaen]
