[packagekit] PackageKit 1.0.0 released!

[Richard Hughes]

Version 1.0.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2014-09-12

Notes:
 - After over 7 years, 99 tarball releases and 11697 commits from 284
people we've finally released the first stable version. Woohoo!

 - I wanted to sent out a heart-felt thank you to all the people who
have contributed to the success of this project. I couldn't have done
it on my own and quite a few people were more important than they
realize.

 - Now, onto more practical aspects. These are the big changes for this release:

  * The offline update functionality has moved to a proper D-Bus
interface and the pkexec helpers have been removed. Offline updates is
an important feature that no longer deserves to be bolted-on. All the
existing users have been ported to the new interface, but you need
3.13.92 if you're running GNOME from unstable or jhbuild.

  * No more plugins. Both in-tree and out-of-tree plugins were the
biggest source of crashes, and with the systemd offline updates merged
into the core daemon they are just not reuired anymore. All affected
projects have been notified.

  * No more conary, opkg, smart or yum plugins. These have been
unmaintained and broken for over two years, so time to give them the
heave-ho.

  * The alpm, aptcc, hif and zypp plugins have had lots of love, and
are up to date with the latest features and working well.
