   * Work around build issues caused by custom LC_COLLATE values.
   * Add tint=tint2 to /etc/sbopkg/renames.d/50-default file.
+  * The 'check for updates' function now always lists apparent downgrades,
+    since it sometimes can mistakenly classify an upgrade as a downgrade
+    (e.g. version 1.0.1 looks older than 1.0-rc2 to sbopkg). The apparent
+    downgrades are added to the queue but are disabled by default.
