- urpmf, urpmq:
  o use xml info instead of hdlist when possible
    o "urpmq -l" is faster (3x)
    o "urpmf -l" is slower (1.5x)
    o "urpmf --sourcerpm" is much faster
    o see "xml-info" option in urpmi.cfg(5) to see when those files are downloaded
    o new require: perl module XML::LibXML
- urpmq:
  o use rpm file instead of hdlist/xml-info when file is local
  o use URPM::Package->changelogs (need perl-URPM 3.06)
- urpmi.update, urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.removemedia:
  o drop hdlist support replaced with xml media_info
    (this imply file-deps are correctly handled, see genhdlist2(1))

 - urpmf
   o fix an *old* bug (since december 2002) making urpmf keeps parsed
     hdlist files in memory (was fixed for multitags, but not for simple tags)
 - all tools:
-  o drop hdlist support (will be replaced with xml media_info)
   o replace /var/lib/urpmi/MD5SUM with /var/lib/urpmi/MD5SUM.<medium_name>
     (this will allow checking xml media_info is up-to-date even if we don't
     update it at the same time as synthesis is updated)
 - urpmi.update, urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.removemedia:
+  o drop hdlist support replaced with xml media_info
+    (this imply file-deps are correctly handled, see genhdlist2(1))
   o drop option "-c" which used to clean /var/cache/urpmi/headers
   o enhancement: only parse updated synthesis
 - urpmi.addmedia
   o do check md5sum of downloaded synthesis
     (the check was only done on urpmi.update)
+  o new --xml-info option
 - urpmi:
   o do remove __db* on priority-upgrade
     (fix regression introduced in 4.10.15)
   o always prompt before doing a priority-upgrade transaction, even if there
     is only one priority upgrade package (since there will be more packages to
     install after restarting urpmi)
-- urpmq:
-  o use URPM::Package->changelogs (need perl-URPM 3.06)
