+          suggestion.
-          This puts the unsupported repos last. If by chance you have a
-          file with those names already in there, upgrading sbopkg will
-          clobber them. See each of the two following sections for more
-          repo-related modifications and bugfixing.
-
-        * Added a bash completion file for sbopkg. This is independent
-          of the bash-completion package. It can be found in the new
-          doc/contrib directory. Source the file (in your shell startup
-          files if you want it always on automatically) from its current
-          location or wherever you wish to copy it and you should be
-          able to complete some of sbopkg's flags and their arguments.
-          Also see the KNOWN_ISSUES file. Thanks to Sergey V. for this
-          contribution.
 
     MODIFICATIONS
 
-        * Updated French man pages. Thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux.
+        * Specifying an alternate directory as repository root from the
-
+          command line, which was done with the -d flag, is now done
-        * Revised documentation: moved the queuefiles directory into a
+          with the -D flag. Sorry for any inconvenience.
-          new contrib directory, renamed the README-*.d documents,
+        * The 'Build' option in a package's info menu has been renamed
-          stripping the '.d'. Clarified/updated the dialog nav/certcheck
+          to 'Process', along with many other minor informational
-          sections of KNOWN_ISSUES, brought the missing 0.27.0 and
+          changes throughout the UI.
-          0.33.1 branch changes from their ChangeLogs into NEWS, added a
+        * The Slamd64 repo file has been removed as that project is
-          block in README describing all the plain text documents, added
+          defunct.
-          a note about making corrections to THANKS, a couple of TODO
-          items, etc.
-
-        * Note also that symlinks are now made from README-repos and
-          README-renames to READMEs in the corresponding /etc/sbopkg/*.d
-          directories. NOTE that renames files must now end in .renames
-          so, if you have custom files in renames.d, you'll need to
-          rename them.
-
-        * The 'Choose a repository' dialog widget is now titled
-          'Repository Selection' and the widget text was revised. Also,
-          the menu itself used to say 'BRANCH (REPO) DESCRIPTION' and
-          now says 'REPO (BRANCH) DESCRIPTION'. The relevant item in the
-          Utilities menu that shows which repo/branch you're on and
-          takes you to the Repository Selection widget was similarly
-          re-ordered.
-
-        * When a repository directory does not exist, sbopkg now
-          displays, e.g.
-
-          REPO_{ROOT,NAME,BRANCH} -> /var/lib/sbopkg/,SBo/,13.1
-
-          or, in the case of git repos which don't currently have BRANCH
-          directories, it just shows REPO_{ROOT,NAME}. It used to
-          display
-
-          REPO_ROOT -----------> /var/lib/sbopkg/
-
-          While the new line may be odd looking, it should be clear
-          enough that it means REPO_ROOT is /var/lib/sbopkg/, REPO_NAME
-          is SBo/ and REPO_BRANCH is 13.1 and that these are path
-          components and that the path is missing. Before, it would say
-          /var/lib/sbopkg/ didn't exist if, e.g., 13.1 was missing even
-          when /var/lib/sbopkg/ did exist.
-
-    BUGFIXES
-
-        * Fixed an issue where URL redirects and SSL certificate check
-          failures could combine to cause a download failure. Thanks to
-          vbatts for raising this issue.
-
-        * Fixed a documentation bug where the ability to keep a
-          ~/.sbopkg.conf file to override the system config file (since
-          0.25.0) wasn't documented anywhere other than this file. It's
-          now in both manuals. Thanks to Bill Kirkpatrick for raising
-          this issue.
-
-        * Fixed an issue where 'Invert all' in file removal dialogs
-          didn't 'invert' but turned everything on or off, regardless of
-          selection state. If it was really intended to be
-          'Select/Deselect all', then changing the button to "Invert
-          Sel" and making it do that was a feature/modification instead
-          of a bugfix. ;)
-
-        * Fixed an issue were the user could switch repos, receive a
-          directory creation prompt, abort it, and the active repo would
-          be switched anyway, despite the directory not being created.
-          Now, the original repo is restored as the active one.
-
-        * Fixed a bug in a previous bugfix that would still let sbopkg
-          download source files whose DOWNLOAD value ended in
-          '/download' even when the source files were cached.
-
-        * Fixed a depth-restriction bug triggered when an app
-          directory's subdirectory has the same name as another app
-          directory, causing sbopkg to match things or try to use things
-          like openvswitch/xen/foo when xen/foo is intended. Thanks to
-          David Somero for reporting this.
