[packagekit] PackageKit 0.8.2 released!

[Richard Hughes]

Version 0.8.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2012-07-16

Notes:
 - We broke backend API and libpackagekit-glib and libpackagekit-qt
ABI. Again. This should hopefully be the last soname bump in the
   0.8.x series.
 - We split up PkBackend into PkBackend and PkBackendJob. It's a
pretty huge internal change, but it'll allow us to turn on the
parallel transactions stuff in the next couple of releases. Most
backends need updating, although sed has done a lot of the heavy
lifting.
 - The systemd-updates has had a lot of bugfixes and poilish and is
now ready to be used by end users. There's even a test document now.
 - You can now write plugins that get run if the daemon is told to
drop internal state as another package manager is running, e.g. YUM
CLI.
