MacPorts 2.4.0 release candidate 1 available January 24, 2017
Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.4.0-rc1 are now available. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful.
Be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup would be wise. Please report any bugs that you find (after first searching Trac, of course!)
If no show-stopping bugs are found in the next few days, this will become the 2.4.0 release.
There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLog for a list of most of the major ones. You may like to focus your testing on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage.
Changes since beta1 are:
- Fixed variants requested on the command line or in variants.conf not being properly passed down to dependencies when +universal is added by arch checking. (#53322, jmr in 4972592)
- Fixed a few more issues with pkg filenames. (jmr in e0c7f1c, 75584d8)
