+      <p>The package development team has released <tt>pkg(8)</tt> 1.4.
+	This release fixes lots of bugs and adds some new features:
+	<ul>
+	  <li>Stricter checking of the path passed via the plist</li>
+	  <li>Change in the ABI to be closer to MACHINE_ARCH</li>
+	  <li>Add three-way merge functionnality</li>
+	  <li>Add conservative upgrade support for multi repository configurations</li>
+	  <li>Multirepository priority</li>
+        </ul>
+      </p>
+
+      <p>An important part of the development direction for the 1.4
+	release has been done on stabilizing the existing features, and
+	improving the <tt>pkg(8)</tt> experience on small/embedded
+	machines (reduce memory usage, speed up operations).</p>
+
+      <p><tt>pkg(8)</tt> is not only the &os; Package Manager, but the
+	Package Manager for DragonflyBSD.  Additionally support has been
+	added to build <tt>pkg(8)</tt> on OS X and Linux.  This work
+	will allow other Operating Systems the option of adopting
+	<tt>pkg(8)</tt> to manage their packages and bring new
+	developers into the project.</p>
