XAR – *NEW* MacOS X 10.5 package format

New package format in MacOS X 10.5 implemented by Apple.
They chose XAR.

Seems they made the decision a few months ago, but it’s finally implemented in the last seed of MacOS X 10.5.

The latest release seeded to developers has the xar tool and libxar.

Package Maker and Installer have been adapted to create and install packages using the xar format (respectively). Should we expect a major update of Pacifist software soon?
