So to all of you portmaster users I wanted to say thank you for bearing
with me over the last few days, and I apologize for the churn. I have
been testing the switch to using PM_NEEDS_UPDATE to lower the
environment memory footprint for a while, and thought I had at least
most of the bugs worked out, but it turned out that I was wrong.
Fortunately some patient users were prompt with sending me bug reports
which I was able to address. I'm really hoping that 3.3 will be the last
new version for a while.

In retrospect I would have been better off releasing a 3.0.1 that just
fixed the MD5/DISTINFO_FILE problem, and saved the rest of the changes
for another day. If anyone was seriously inconvenienced by the bugs
and/or frequent updates, please accept my apologies.


Regards,

Doug
