-With the 2.4 branch released by upstream almost 4 years ago, stable

-When upgrading, some configuration changes will have to be made.

-
-For more information on all the new features, start here:

-After emerging Apache 2.4, you will also need to rebuild any

-Title: KDE Plasma 5 Upgrade

-
-KDE Workspaces 4.11 has reached end of life and is no longer supported
-by upstream. It is therefore recommended for all users to upgrade to
-KDE Plasma 5.
-
-A detailed upgrade guide is available[1], but in most cases it is enough to
-switch to the new desktop/plasma profile, update @world, and
-emerge kde-plasma/plasma-meta:
-
-# eselect profile list
-# eselect profile set <target>
-# emerge --ask --changed-use --newrepo --deep world
-# emerge --ask --verbose kde-plasma/plasma-meta
-
-If you normally use KDM to launch Plasma, note that it is no longer supported.
-Upstream recommends x11-misc/sddm instead which is pulled in by plasma-meta by
-default. OpenRC users should edit /etc/conf.d/xdm and update DISPLAYMANAGER.
-Systemd users should run: systemctl reenable sddm.service
-
-Due to an an evolution of KDE upstream's release process[2], the traditional
-monolithic KDE 4 release is now split into three distinct components. This
-means that KDE Applications are now separate from the Plasma desktop and
-older KDE 4-based applications will continue to function as normal inside
-Plasma 5.
-
-KDE Workspaces 4.11 will remain in the tree for a reasonable time, but
-be warned that it is unmaintained and may cause conflicts with
-newer versions of KDE Applications.

-Title: L10N USE_EXPAND variable replacing LINGUAS
-Author: Mart Raudsepp <leio@gentoo.org>
-Author: Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org>
-Content-Type: text/plain
-Posted: 2016-06-19

-
-The L10N variable is replacing LINGUAS as a USE_EXPAND, to avoid a
-conceptual clash with the standard gettext LINGUAS behaviour.
-
-L10N controls which extra localization support will be installed.
-This is commonly used for downloads of additional language packs.
-
-If you have set LINGUAS in your make.conf, you most likely want to add
-its entries also to L10N. Note that while the common two letter language
-codes (like "de" or "fr") are identical, more complex entries have a
-different syntax because L10N now uses IETF language tags. (For example,
-"pt_BR" becomes "pt-BR" and "sr@latin" becomes "sr-Latn".) You can look
-up the available codes in profiles/desc/l10n.desc in the gentoo tree.
-A detailed description of language tags (aka BCP 47) can be found at:
-https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/
-
-After a transition time for packages to be converted, the LINGUAS
-environment variable will maintain the standard gettext behaviour and
-will work as expected with all package managers. It controls which
-language translations are built and installed. An unset value means all
-available, an empty value means none, and a value can be an unordered
-list of gettext language codes, with or without country codes. Usually
-two letter language codes suffice, but can be narrowed down by country
-codes with a "ll_CC" formatting, where "ll" is the language code and
-"CC" is the country code, e.g., "en_GB". Some rare languages also have
-three letter language codes. Note that LINGUAS does not only affect
-installed gettext catalog files (*.mo), but also lines of translations
-in an always shipped file (e.g., *.desktop).
-
-If you want English with a set LINGUAS, it is suggested to list it with
-the desired country code, in case the default is not the usual "en_US".
-It is also common to list "en" then, in case a package is natively
-written in a different language, but does provide an English translation
-for whichever country. A list of LINGUAS language codes is available at:
-http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Language-Codes
-
-If you have per-package customizations of the LINGUAS USE_EXPAND, you
-should also rename those. This typically means changing linguas_* to
-l10n_*, and possibly updating the syntax as described above.
-
-https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide has also been updated to
-reflect this change.

-Title: OpenAFS no longer needs kernel option DEBUG_RODATA

-As a result of bug #127084 [1], it was determined that OpenAFS's
-kernel module required that the kernel's data structures be
-read-write (CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=n). With recent OpenAFS versions
-this limitation is no longer required. We tested the latest version
-of OpenAFS with Linux kernels from 3.4 till 4.6, and determined that
-OpenAFS kernel module works fine with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.
-
-Starting with net-fs/openafs-kernel-1.6.18.2, this condition is no
-longer forced in the ebuild. Considering the security implications
-of having CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA turned off, it is highly advised that
-you adjust your kernel config accordingly.  Please note that the
-default setting for CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is "y" and unless you have
-another reason for keeping it disabled, we highly recommend that
-you re-enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

-Upstream development of uClibc has been stalled since July 2015 and
-there hasn't been a proper release since May 2012 [1].  New patches
-addressing important issues have been submitted but these have not been
-reviewed nor have they been committed to the master branch.  Also,
-backporting even those patches which have been committed to master is
-now impractical as too many intermediate layers of patches conflict.
-For all intents and purposes, upstream uClibc is dead.
-
-Fortunately, a fork called uClibc-ng [2] was begun by Waldemar Brodkorb
-in February 2015 and is actively being maintained.  Accordingly,
-Gentoo's Hardened uClibc project will be migrating to uClibc-ng as its
-libc provider.  Currently stage3 tarballs based on sys-libs/uclibc-ng
-are available for all supported arches at [3] and these will become the
-default after October 5, 2016.  Older stage3s based on sys-libs/uclibc
-will be removed.
-
-Unfortunately, migrating a production system from uclibc to uclibc-ng
-is not straightforward owing to the central role played by libc.  A
-migration guide is provided at [4].  This has been tested on live
-systems with success, but the user is cautioned to plan a backup and
-recovery plan should something go wrong.

-OpenRC 0.22 introduces the following changes:
-
-- In previous versions of OpenRC, configuration information was processed
-  so that service-specific configuration stored in /etc/conf.d/* was
-  overridden by global configuration stored in /etc/rc.conf. OpenRC 0.22
-  reverses that. Global configuration stored in /etc/rc.conf is read first
-  then overridden by configuration stored in /etc/conf.d/*.
-
-- The swapfiles service, which was basically a copy of the swap service,
-  has been removed. If you are only using local swap partitions, as
-  described in the handbook for example, this change will not affect you.
-  If you are using swap files or swap partitions on network-backed devices
-  such as iSCSI, please adjust the dependencies of the swap
-  service as shown in /etc/conf.d/swap to reflect your situation.

-Recent updates to service scripts in OpenRC and (e)udev have removed the
-requirement for udev to "settle" before its startup completes.  The
-result of this is that services which used to wait for udev to finish
-processing all kernel events will now start earlier.  One such service
-is localmount.
-
-If "/dev/disk/by-*" device paths are used for mount points in
-fstab, it is possible that those symbolic links  will not exist when
-localmount starts and attempts to mount them.
-
-The recommended solution is to convert fstab from using
-"/dev/disk/by-*" to the LABEL=, UUID=, PARTLABEL= or PARTUUID= syntax.
-This syntax is supported directly by both util-linux and busybox's mount
-commands and has no dependency on any device manager. More information
-on this syntax can be found in the fstab(5) and mount(8) man pages.
-
-To force the old behaviour, instead of converting fstab, you can add
-rc_want="dev-settle" to /etc/conf.d/localmount or add udev-settle to the
-sysinit runlevel.
