+* When generating manifests, existing distfiles digests will not be updated
+  in cases when the current file in $DISTDIR does not match. In order to
+  force digests to be updated, run `ebuild --force <ebuild file> manifest`.
+  This is a safety measure which protects valid distfiles digests from being
+  accidentally replaced by invalid digests.
