Unfortunately, information about EAPI 4 and 5 support is not entirely clear from the NEWS file, so one must look into the git log. Quoting bug 326459 comment 4 [1]: EAPI 4: pkgcore-0.6.5 (2011-06-22), which is the first version (correctly) supporting default src_install. There's another change for EAPI 4 in 0.7, namely removal of the AA and KV variables, but I think this can be ignored here (also it's not in the NEWS file). EAPI 5: pkgcore-0.9.3 (2016-05-28). NEWS says for 0.9 that it has "Nearly complete EAPI=5 support just missing subslot rebuilds." This was finally added in 0.9.3, "Add support for PN:slot/subslot and slotted glob targets." So yes, it appears that full support for EAPI 5 was added only in pkgcore-0.9.3, which supports EAPI 6 already. Ulrich [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326459#c4
