Today I released PackageKit and gnome-packagekit 0.2.0.

* Cool new stuff
 - Session service for trivial installation
 - Tons of new help
 - New faster transaction DBUS interface
 - EULA and GPG signature callback support

* Caveats
 - This is the first (read: unstable) release of a new codebase - 0.1.11 is more stable.
 - Most of the UI tools have trivial regressions due to the new interface work.
 - There's a ton of new functionality that has only had light testing.
 - Importing multiple GPG keys or EULAs in one transaction breaks horribly.
