 === direct mode ===
 r77511 (Released in MacPorts 2.0.0)
  Option to install files directly into their final location without having a port image. Deactivation of ports without uninstalling was thus not possible in this mode. The commit contains a lot more changes than just removing this feature since its primary purpose was to switch to using archives for port images.
+
+=== use of `include` statements in Portfiles ===
+r68206 (Released in MacPorts 1.9.0)
+ Ports can still include PortGroups with the `PortGroup` statement though.
+
+=== bundled copy of sqlite3 ===
+r64358, r64363 (Released in MacPorts 1.9.0)
+ It was outdated, and from a time before MacPorts had its current architecture for including bundled copies of software it needs (like Tcl).
+
+=== support for OS X Panther (10.3) ===
+(no specific revision, part of the MacPorts 1.8.0 release)
+ Support for previous versions of OS X (e.g. Jaguar) seems to have been dropped before that sort of thing started being recorded in the ChangeLog, and no versions of OS X have been dropped entirely (as in, stopped working completely) since Panther.
+
+=== `universal_sysroot` and `universal_target` conf options ===
+r52324 (Released in MacPorts 1.8.0)
+ They are now handled automatically.
+
+=== `-i` option for `port` command ===
+r48218 (Released in MacPorts 1.8.0)
+ It was redundant, because the `port` command by itself with no further arguments will drop you into interactive mode anyways.
+
+=== `--pretend` option for `port selfupdate` ===
+r48125 (Released in MacPorts 1.8.0)
+ Replaced by the global "dry-run" option (i.e. "`-y`")
+
+=== the "base/config/mp_version" file ===
+r32353 (Released in MacPorts 1.7.0)
+ This information is now stored internally in MacPorts, and can be retrieved with the `port version` command.
+
+=== Presence of `LD_PREBIND` & `LD_PREBIND_ALLOW_OVERLAP` environment variables in MacPorts build environment ===
+r31786 (Released in MacPorts 1.6.0)
+ These variables caused issues such as #13436
+
+=== `configure.macosx_deployment_target` ===
+r30396 (Released in MacPorts 1.6.0)
+ Replaced by the global `macosx_deployment_target`.
+
+=== OpenDarwin mirrors ===
+r26903 (Released in MacPorts 1.5.1)
+ The OpenDarwin project no longer exists, and neither does its website or mirrors.
+
+=== use of `xar` in the building of MacPorts ===
+r24107, r24108, r24913 (first two released in MacPorts 1.4.2, third one released in MacPorts 1.4.41)
+ `xar` had difficulty building some places, so it was dropped as a requirement, and then later also dropped from being bundled.
+
+=== `configure` switch for launchd support ===
+r24107, r24108, r24151 (first two released in MacPorts 1.4.2, third one released in MacPorts 1.4.3)
+ MacPorts now always builds with launchd support when available.
+
+=== compatibility upgrade for old conf files ===
+r24106, r27618 (the first one released in MacPorts 1.4.2, the second one released in MacPorts 1.5.1)
+ The first one was originally for migrating from darwinports 1.1 to 1.2, and by 1.4.2 MacPorts had already moved on. The second one was also due to leftovers from darwinports.
