Version 0.6.11
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2010-12-13

Notes:
 - Additonal notes have been added to the DBus specification that
allow backends to send the origin of a installed package. This is
optional.
 - Additionally, more reccomendations have been made to allow
searching by repository. See the DBus specification for more details.
 - An experimental Zif backend has been added. This should not be used
on production machines as it may crash and cause filesystem
corruption.
