+ - skip mirror servers with too many errors (FS#29293)
+ - package signatures are always retrieved even if signature is
+ embedded in repo database or package is in cache (FS#33992)
+ - detached package signatures found in CacheDir can be used to
+ verify packages if signature is not in the database. Also
+ verify packages checksums from repo db when using detached
+ signatures.
+ - add support for multiple 'Architecture' values
+ - -Qkk now validates file checksums in addition to date/size
+ - colored upgrade summary now dulls version numbers for contrast
+ - libalpm frontends can now supply context to callbacks (FS#12721)
+ - support xattr when extracting packages
+ - allow setting --noprogressbar in pacman.conf
+ - fix output alignment for CJK translated text (FS#59229)

+ - fix deleting signatures for existing databases with -Sc
+ - check for and forbid duplicate download filenames (FS#67850)
+ - -Fx now reports error for invalid regex
+ - remove support for the autotools build system
+ - meson: properly compile internal symbols as hidden
+ - meson: make -uninstalled.pc correct
+ - fix build errors on systems like FreeBSD
+ - makepkg:
+ - add link time optimization support to makepkg
+ - add support for sources using the fossil VCS
+ - allow specifying alternative authentication commands when
+ running pacman as root (FS#32621)
+ - support zstd decompression for sources
+ - strip: fix removing file attributes such as xattr
+ - switch to CRC as default integrity checksum
+ - record $startdir for reproducible builds
+ - record name of build orchestration tool for reproducible builds
+ - fix signing of source packages
+ - add optional argument support to parseopts
+ - reduce dependency on file for detecting ELF files
+ - remove dependency on GNU sed
+ - avoid trailing whitespace in --printsrcinfo output
+ - libprovides: don't provide both versioned and unversioned
+ sonames
+ - don't double-layer distcc on ccache
+ - fix detection of source file names for debug packages with
+ gcc 11
+ - strip: silence warnings emitted by readelf while detecting
+ source filenames
+ - fix use of spaces in source file renaming (FS#70254)
+ - pacman-key:
+ - --refresh-keys queries WKD before keyserver
+ - be less noisy when populating the keyring (FS#64142)
+ - warn about time taken for master key generation
+ - repo-add:
+ - support the same compression methods as makepkg
+ - zsh completion: add pacman-conf support
+ - various documentation updates
+ - after a decade and a half of promising libalpm.3 documentation
+ "once we get around to doing good Doxygen documentation", it
+ has happened!
5.2.2 - fix pacman test suite under python 3.8
- only prompt to import new keys once in a transaction
- fix handling of fully downloaded .part files
