Version 0.8.5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2012-10-29

Notes:
 - This is probably the last release where packagekit-qt is bundled
with the main daemon. Distros should package up the QT bindings before
the next PackageKit release.

Libraries:
 - glib: Ensure remote error is stripped before showing it to the user
(Richard Hughes)
 - qt: Add introspection properties (Daniel Nicoletti)
 - qt: Add invokable methods to retrieve the package id sections
(Daniel Nicoletti)
 - qt: A few more changes so Daemon and Transaction flags can be
accessed by QML (Daniel Nicoletti)
 - qt: Break ABI to make pk-qt more closer to what pk-glib is and
allow for searchGroup() to work (Daniel Nicoletti)
 - qt: Simplied API (by greatly breaking it) so it can be safer in QML
(Daniel Nicoletti)

Backends:
 - aptcc: Added workaround for the not-respecting-simulate bug (Matthias Klumpp)
 - dummy: Fix a critical warning when updating from the command line
(Richard Hughes)
 - poldek: keep pkgdb open through the whole transaction (Marcin Banasiak)
 - poldek: port to the new API (Marcin Banasiak)
 - poldek: remove UpdateSystem method (Marcin Banasiak)
 - yum: Print the exception detail when a package failed to be
downloaded (Richard Hughes)
 - zif: Fix a critical warning when enabling a repository (Richard Hughes)

Bugfixes:
 - Change the priority state changed timeout to 2 seconds (Richard Hughes)
 - cnf: Ignore InvalidInput errors from the daemon (Richard Hughes)
 - Correctly register remote transaction DBus errors (Richard Hughes)
 - offline-updates: Don't crash when writing the
offline-update-competed file (Richard Hughes)
 - offline-updates: Only save packages that have been updated or
installed (Richard Hughes)
 - pk-gtk-module: Argument pango_language_matches() must be canonical
(Owen W. Taylor)
 - Use g_dbus_error_get_remote_error() rather than just looking at the
prefix (Richard Hughes)
