+ WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.2
+
+ Compared with earlier releases, OpenPKG version 1.2 offers even more.
+ The official OpenPKG repository has grown from 274 to include over 360
+ released packages. Popular software like Apache, Sendmail, and MySQL
+ are available for easy installation. All packages are in top form after
+ upgrades to new versions.
+
+ Several new appealing features exist in OpenPKG version 1.2. A new
+ approach for package option handling now allows for more flexibility,
+ even while conforming to OpenPKG's ongoing consistency standards. A new
+ package called 'openpkg-tool' eases maintenance of whole instances, and
+ can especially be useful in updating packages with complex dependencies.
+ A new false syslog package allows an administrator to redirect log entries
+ that would otherwise wind up in the system's generic syslog file. The Perl
+ packages were reorganized to maximize utility while avoiding conflicts.
+ Lastly, a new automated version tracking system responds to the immediate
+ release of new software. Often, a OpenPKG package often exists for
+ release-grade software that is yet to be announced by the vendor.
