Changes since 2.4.4:

New pseudo-portname 'rleaves', matching installed ports that are
unrequested and that no requested ports depend on.
(danchr in b042c0e)
'port reclaim' will automatically run 'port rev-upgrade' at the end.
(danchr in eed6ffc)
'port reclaim' will only remove all unrequested ports as manual
selection of a subset could break dependents.
(g5pw in 3578400)
'port reclaim' respects -N for non-interactive and -y for dry run mode.
(#53857, raimue in 08d0a69)
New flag 'port fetch --no-mirrors' which will only fetch from URLs
in master_sites.
(raimue in 0cf1faf)
'port selfupdate --nosync' has been deprecated, use '--no-sync' instead.
(#56434, raimue in ce6d481)

supports --hfsCompression. Used automatically when libarchive is
installed.

Add the ability to handle xz patch files
(#52445, khindenburg in 5a142fd)
The cxx_stdlib and delete_la_files settings are taken into account when
determining which archive sites can be used. (#56053, jmr in cbbc31e)
New options startupitem.debug and startupitem.daemondo.verbosity
(#22471, jmr in fd19a71)
StartupItems installed by a port are unloaded when the port is
deactivated, and reloaded after it is upgraded.
(#23677, jmr in 738e5f5)
The message about how to load a port's StartupItem is now part of the
notes, and will thus be displayed when ports are installed from a
binary archive, and can be reviewed later with 'port notes'.
(#31798, jmr in 6faf3f8)
startupitem_autostart macports.conf setting allows autostart to be
disabled for all ports. (#40074, jmr in 85ffdc7)
Ports can install more than one StartupItem using the 'startupitems'
option. (#44295, jmr in 99d5fb3)
Having a different startupitem.install setting than was used when
a binary archive was built now works. (#44496, jmr in 3dde77d)
'port load' will now attempt to load launchd plists even if they have
not been installed in /Library. (#44497, jmr in ec4ae2d)
StartupItems installed as LaunchAgents can be loaded for the current
user with 'port load'. Loading LaunchDaemons still requires root.
