CHANGES

Changes prefixed with "(*)" are potentially breaking to scripts or existing
repositories (changes that are automatically handled by the format upgrade tools
are not marked). Those prefixed with "(+)" are new command/option (since
2.1.0~alpha2).

  [#3561 @rjbou - fix #3523 #3548]
* Lint E57: A description or a synopsis must be present and non empty.
  [#3581 @rjbou - fix ocaml/opam-repository#12729]
* Lint W58: Advise to use `with-test` and `with-doc` variables if `test`
  and `doc` are present. [#3591 @rjbou - fix #3580 ocaml/opam-repository#12729]
* Add `gtar` as OpenBSD required tool, as tar does not support the `J` flag.

* Hash: fallback to internal library in case of openssl error. [#3543 @rjbou -
  fix ocaml/opam-repository#12613]
* Respect user's TMPDIR when invoking bwrap sandbox. [#3487 @3noch]
* Add a way to mount unusual path in bwrap sandbox: introduction of
  `OPAM_USER_PATH_RO` environment variable. [#3540 @ErwanGa]
* opam admin: handle non http backend on repository upgrade: compute hash only
  for http or distant rsync backend [#3596 @rjbou - fix #3590]

* Not having wget or curl is now only a hard-error if src_ext/archives doesn't
  contain the archives (i.e. if make -C src_ext cache-archives has not been run)
  which means that this should no longer be a requirement for building with the
  "full" tarball. [#3572 @dra27 - fix #3551]
* C++ test for MCCS is now moved to the correct place and the message as to
  whether the solver will be build should work correctly with --disable-checks.
  Note that not having a C++ compiler is not considered an error if
  --disable-checks is specified because configure is permitted to believe that
  the MCCS library exists even if it couldn't detect it. [#3572 @dra27]

  output selection
* Delay the removals of packages as much as possible, avoiding most cases of
  mass uninstalled packages after a build failure

  accordingly to use explicit dependencies towards the compiler version.

  search --owns-file` (#502, #1215) *this requires packages to properly separate
  build and install*, or unrelated files could get removed on package uninstall.

  defined in `~/.opam/config`; include sample Linux wrappers to restrict process
  permissions (e.g. ensure `build:` doesn't install)

  the compiler package at installation)

  `compiler` flag set
