What's New in Pacman 2.6.2?

I am always curious about new releases and wonder if the freezing/segmentation fault bug was fixed in Pacman 2.6.2?  This seemed to be a bit of a silent update, seeing as the past two versions of pacman were described on the news portion of the main page.  Maybe throwing a changelog of sorts on the www.archlinux.org/pacman page would help those who are always curious about whats improving on our favourite distro. If curiosity killed the cat, then I'd be dead a long time ago, heh.

Re: What's New in Pacman 2.6.2?

Good suggestion.  Done!

VERSION         DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.6.2         - Fixed a memory cleanup bug
              - Aurelien's patch:
                - bug #159 implemented (for -S and -R)
                - fixed a bug with pacman -Sg (pacman was browsing only one
                  db to get groups)
                - fixed a bug with list_merge()
                - fixed some MLK (in dumppkg() and with "-Qi --orphans")
                - now "pacman -Sg" only displays groups (without content)
                  whereas "pacman -Sg target1 target2" displays groups
                  target1 and target2 with content
