Thanks to all those who made this possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 0.1.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* New backends:
- A SMART backend (James Bowes)
- A PiSi backend (S.Çağlar Onur)
* New features:
- A better, easier to use website; http://www.packagekit.org (Richard Hughes)
- Added missing install-file.py so we can do local rpm installs (Tim Lauridsen)
- Be ultra-paranoid about validating input from the user (Richard Hughes)
- Send SIGQUIT and then SIGKILL after a little delay, so we can clean up the
backends nicely by unlocking when we cancel (Richard Hughes)
- Add resolve functionality in pkcon to allow non-package_id use, for instance
'pkcon remove gimp' now does the right thing (Richard Hughes)
- Display a pulsing progress bar for no-progress-updates and percentage-update
that is shown when using a console (James Bowes)
- Remove the hard dependency on NetworkManager so other networking stacks
can be used instead (S.Çağlar Onur, Richard Hughes)
- Add a filter parameter for Resolve() so we can do the filtering in the
spawned backend without duplicating code (James Bowes, Richard Hughes)
- Substantial additions to the box backend (Grzegorz Dabrowski)
- Add GetRepoList and RepoEnable to the yum backend (Tim Lauridsen)
- Add bash completion script for pkcon (James Bowes)
- Get the repo list for the aplm backend (Andreas Obergrusberger)
* API changes:
- Store the transaction database in /var/lib rather than /var/db (James Bowes)
- Don't expose the private list in PkTaskList, instead use verified functions
to ensure we can't corrupt data accidentally (Richard Hughes)
- Don't export the private data array in PkClient or PkPackageList - this
breaks API, so the library version has been bumped (Richard Hughes)
* Bugfixes:
- Fix the resolve method parameter passing - now pk-install-package should work
correctly (James Bowes)
- Fix all the copyright notices to be a standard GPL2+ boilerplate licence
text (Tom Parker, Robin Norwood)
- Dist the local apt headers so the apt backend can be compiled from a tarball
rather than just from git (Richard Hughes)
- Fix a 1-in-10 random daemon startup crash when backends do libnm_glib init,
shutdown, init, shutdown repeatedly (Richard Hughes)
- Added locking in the yum backend to allow simultaneous use of the yum command
line tool or yum-updatesd (Tim Lauridsen)
- Fix NoPercentageUpdates validity checking (James Bowes)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 0.1.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Translations:
- Updated Norwegian bokmål translation (Kjartan Maraas)
- Add Polish translation (Piotr Drąg)
* New features:
- Show an icon when we are waiting, to give feedback when yum is waiting for a
command line tool to release the lock (Richard Hughes)
- Connect up the Requires button in the toolbar (Grzegorz Dabrowski)
- Add a desktop icon for pk-repo (Richard Hughes)
* Bugfixes
- Use the new API in PackageKit to get the cached data (Richard Hughes)
- Use a local copy of libgbus to stop the startup race of gnome-power-manager,
gnome-screensaver and pk-update-icon from preventing the update icon to show
on first login (Richard Hughes)
- Spin the progress bar at the same speed between applications (Richard Hughes)
