MacPorts 2.10.4

Changes since 2.10.3:

• Fixed destroot_finish error on some older macOS versions. (#71217, jmr in aa60115)

MacPorts 2.10.3

Changes since 2.10.2:

• On Apple Silicon Macs, the port command will now ensure that it
  is running natively by relaunching itself if it is started under
  Rosetta 2 and build_arch is not set to x86_64 in macports.conf.
  Migration is no longer required when MacPorts base is x86_64
  only, provided that build_arch is set to x86_64 in macports.conf.
  This will ensure that most users are running natively while still
  allowing a fully emulated x86_64 installation if desired.

• Fixed error trying to create the history file in shell mode when
  ~/.macports doesn't exist yet. (#71143, jmr in e788103)

• Added mitigation for a rarely seen macOS bug affecting handling
  of sparse files. (#67336, jmr in af49e24)

• Silenced error message from running pragma OPTIMIZE on the
  registry database without write access. (#71017, jmr in c219570)

• Fixed recreating the destroot from an installed port image that
  is a directory, as needed by some targets like mpkg.
  (#71011, jmr in c3c817e)

• Fixed force activation of conflicting ports. (jmr in 1f52c5a)

MacPorts 2.10.2

Changes since 2.10.1:

• Fixed port restore erroring out when a Portfile failed to
  parse. (#70903, jmr in 202d58b)

• Worked around a bug in the version of libcurl shipped in recent
  macOS versions that was causing crashes when downloading from FTP
  sites. (#70764, jmr in ff881a5, 1ac551f)

• port snapshot --list now respects the -q option.
  (jmr in e756756)

• Fixed expressions involving the complement operator (and not)
  causing an error when the right hand side evaluated to empty.
  (jmr in 96520f2)

• Worked around a bug in Tiger's gnutar that caused an error when
  installing from some archives generated on newer systems.
  (#70622, jmr in d54e1de)

MacPorts 2.10.1

Changes since 2.10.0:

• Fixed issues migrating when running under Rosetta 2 on
  Apple Silicon. (#70512, jmr in 567fa44, e291303, 9eb441f)

• Fixed printing the list of installed versions twice when an
  ambiguous port activate is run. (#70514, jmr in d27484c)

• The default build_arch is now always arm64 when running on Apple
  Silicon hardware, even under Rosetta 2. (#61750, jmr in 05cd570)

MacPorts 2.10.0

Changes since 2.9.3:

• port space no longer overcounts the space used by ports that
  install links. (#66526, jmr in 11662bd)

• The number of outdated ports is printed after running
  port selfupdate. (#33820, thelastlin in 4ae6d98)

• port selfupdate now checks whether MacPorts base is outdated by
  downloading a small file, and only downloads and extracts the
  source code (via http(s)) if a new version needs to be installed.
  Integrity of the source is checked using OpenBSD's signify(1).
  The old rsync method is used as a fallback if the new method fails.
  (#38265, cal in dd3acc4)

• Line continuation is supported in macports.conf by ending lines
  with a backslash. (jmr in b86ef1e)

• Ports' files are now activated using clonefile() when on a
  filesystem that supports cloning (such as APFS). This should
  perform better and use less storage for active ports. Port images
  are stored as directories rather than archives in this case. A
  portimage_mode option has been added to macports.conf to
  enable changing which method is used. (#69555, jmr in 4504942)

• The middle part of bin:, lib:, and path: depspecs is no longer
  interpreted as a regex. This was mostly undocumented, almost
  never used, and made it difficult to use paths containing
  characters with special meaning in regexes.
  (#69585, jmr in e0c1226)

• Added port migrate action, which can be used after moving to a
  new major OS version or CPU architecture to reinstall MacPorts
  base and installed ports if needed. (umeshksingla in 6e2f453,
  cal in 3f83ad1, 4317a32, f40f655, 72478b1 etc.)

• Added -t and -N options to the default patch.pre_args, to prevent
  patch(1) on recent macOS versions from silently reverse-applying
  already-applied patches. (vallon in b1f59d8)

• Updated the bundled Tcl to 8.6.14. (jmr in bc46d68)

• Added test.asroot option. (jmr in 6f0de6c)

• Prevented port rdeps --full from looping infinitely when there
  are circular dependencies. (#62711, jmr in 49df406)

• Performance improvements for many operations, particularly
  boolean expressions and Portfile parsing. (jmr in a28e81c,
  169b1ed, 2f3d072, c97e75d, 341d9a0, 46bc1af, etc.)

• Add progress bars to slow activation and deactivation operations.

  symlink in some circumstances. (jmr in 51511c8)

Changes since 2.9.1:

• Fixed built-in architecture test failing on unreadable files.
  (#69478, jmr in e3468c5)

• Fixed some issues that could occur if settings like 'prefix'

  from the config file. (#69327, jmr in b69f0cf)

• Fixed privileges sometimes not being dropped for test target.
