eselect-1.2_rc1 is now in the tree. This version contains relatively large changes for better support of Gentoo Prefix [1], which I think will justify a pretest. Therefore it will stay in package.mask for one or two weeks.
Other notable changes are: - The "basename" and "dirname" functions have been changed, they now output the same result as their command equivalents [2] (as it was always intended [3]). I didn't find any module that specifically relied on the old behaviour, but maybe module authors should double-check. - The GLEP 42 news module has finally been renamed from "news-tng" to "news" [4]. Paludis users, please test if interaction with your package manager works.
