Today I released PackageKit 0.5.7.

Tarballs available here: http://www.packagekit.org/releases/

Note:
 - This release adds some forward compatibility defines for applications that
   want to track the new API in 0.6.0. New methods have been added, but the API
   or ABI has not been changed.

Backends:
 - aptcc: Improved kind of updates detection (Daniel Nicoletti)
 - aptcc: Fix once package descriptions FDO bug #26357 (Daniel Nicoletti)
 - aptcc: Fix unknown progress when download takes too much time to go
to 1% (Daniel Nicoletti)
 - yum: Blacklist auto-update-debuginfo when using PK tools to prevent
madness. Fixes rh#566578 (Richard Hughes)
 - yum: Don't show an internal error if the database was changed by
rpm when we are building a transaction (Richard Hughes)
 - yum: Add simulate-install-packages, simulate-update-packages and
simulate-remove-packages (Richard Hughes)
 - yum: Ensure we look in all update notices for a security update.
Fixes rh#526279 (Richard Hughes)
 - yum: Emit a warning when a developer tries to use autoremove (Richard Hughes)
 - yum: Ensure we actually do self._check_init() for RefreshCache so
non-contactable repos get disabled (Richard Hughes)
 - yum: If yum, rpm or PackageKit are available as updates, then
update these packages first (Richard Hughes)

New Features:
 - Add a new message enum 'repo-for-developers-only' for repos that
should not be used by users (Richard Hughes)
 - Add Kubuntu support for upgrade (using env var exported by
KPackageKit) (Daniel Nicoletti)

inferred that any packages were unsigned (Richard Hughes)

them (Richard Hughes)
