- This is a routine bug fix release.
- New features: can now process the output from portsnap as part of
maintaining a local INDEX file. See
http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/portindex/index.xhtml for more
information.

* Now tracks changes to OPTIONS settings, and the effect those
have on port dependencies.
* Cleanup of warning and error messages -- new 'Warnings'
configuration variable to turn them on/off
* New 'Strict' configuration option -- at the moment this just
enforces a check that all ports are referenced from the
category Makefile in the directory above. May be extended to
other items later.
* New 'CrunchWhitespace' configuration option -- emulate the way
that 'make index' collapses multiple whitespace into single in
port description lines.
* Internal changes to data structures, cache file locking
etc. which will be needed to support multithreaded cache
initialization / update (It is coming... eventually). One
consequence is that there is no longer a dependency on
Storable.pm
* Mk/bsd.commands.mk and Mk/bsd.destdir.mk added to the list of
Makefiles where changes are not expected to affect the INDEX.
* Bugfix -- correct programming error when picking out changes to
lists of SUBDIRs in category Makefiles.
Note: You will have to reinitialize the ports cache when updating.
Unfortunately, due to the changes in BerkeleyDB locking / concurrent
access, version 2.0 code cannot even open the version 1.9 data cache.

DEPENDS is gone from the bsd.ports.mk: reflect this in the index
processing code.

- Following some useful e-mail discussions with Mark Linimon
and Dan Langille, switch to using the MASTER_PORT variable
to detect master/slave relationships between ports.
MASTER_PORT will be set in every slave port whereas
MASTERDIR doesn't have to be. Here a slave port is one
defined as using port metadata from some other port, and
doesn't have to go as far as requiring both master and slave
to use the same Makefile and other ports infrastructure.
- Keep track of the version of the software used to create the
cache, and prompt for a cache rebuild if the software has
been upgraded since. A cache rebuild is definitely required
for the 1.6 -> 1.7 update.
- Don't quit on errors parsing make variables at the cache-init
or cache-update stage. Print copious error messages, but carry
on processing. Entries for ports that fail at this stage will
not be created in the cache.

This is a bug fix and general improvement release. From the change log:
- Incorporate local ports/categories into the INDEX by scanning Makefile.local
for additions to $SUBDIR. Mentioned on freebsd-ports@freebsd.org by
Rong-En Fan <rafan (at) infor.org>
- Clean up error messages, and factor out common progress counter code.
- Add a new Category object type, and cope better with changes to categories
(ie. ports being hooked up / unhooked from the tree). Problem pointed out by
Colin Percival <cperciva (at) freebsd.org>
- Instead of calling perl to compile exactly the same bit of perl code from
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk about 15,000 times (ie once per port) as a
consequence of actually running 'make describe', just call perl once, use make
to print out the basic variables from the port and replicate the processing
done ourselves.

This version contains fix to prevent cache-init crashing when it tries
to process the currently empty net-p2p port category.
