A new release of PCA has just been published. Here's a list of
new features and changes:

  * Read only pca-proxy.conf (not pca.conf) in proxy mode
  * Provide more detailed exit status
  * Include patch count and sum of patch ages in header
  * Fix handling of downloaded files that are too short
  * Check whether patch already exists before announcing download
  * Fix handling of PTF/ACSLS patches
  * Read architecture information from pkginfo output
  * Accept wrong entries in the arch column in patchdiag.xref
  * Handle special characters in package version string
  * Fix erroneous behaviour with checking for patch existance
  * Simplify internal handling of extra patch requirements
  * Calculate patch age only once
  * Apply check: add 116413, 119775, 116831, 116832
  * Update list of contributors

Attention: pca-proxy.cgi will read only configuration files which are
named pca-proxy.conf from now on. Before that change, it was reading
pca.conf files, too, which could create confusion when a machine was
both a proxy and a client.

Update:
   pca --update now
