Dear Friends, I'm happy to announce the new 0.56 version of synaptic. It took a while but it's finally out.
The biggest features in this release are the support for the debian/ubuntu apt-0.6 (aka apt-secure) code. It is also possible (with patched versions of apt and dpkg) to hide the output of dpkg and show a progress bar instead. And a "history" window was added that will list the history of the package transactions. A big thanks to all the hard-working translators that made this release one of the best ones l10n-wise :) You can get the source at the usual place: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/synaptic/synaptic-0.56.tar.gz The NEWS: - "History" added (log of what changed) - Sources in the sources.list editor can be moved Up and Down (thanks to Norberto Lopes) - new configure switch "--with-apt-authentication" - new configure switch "--with-nice-dpkg-status" - HIGified the old "Expert" Preferences - switched to gtk2.4 file dialogs - new runtime switch "--add-cdrom /dev/xxx" - new runtime switch "--dist-upgrade-mode" - new runtime switch "--update-at-startup" - autoclean cache by default now - Translation updates: * Danish (da): Thanks to Morten Brix Pedersen * Dutch (nl): Thanks to Vincent van Adrighem * Greek (el): Thanks to Kostas Papadimas * Italian (it): Thanks to Marco Colombo * Catalan (ca): Thanks to Jordi Mallach * Hungarian (hu): Thanks to Gabor Kelemen * Spanish (es): Thanks to Jorge Bernal * Lithuanian (lt): Thanks to Zygimantas Berucka * Russian (ru): Thanks to Vitaly Lipatov * Chinese (zh_CN): Thanks to Liu Songhe * Turkish (tr): Thanks to Er�in EKER * Macedonian (mk): Thanks to Arangel Angov * French (fr): Thanks to Jean-Luc Coulon * Xhosa (xh): Thanks to Canonical Ltd (I really hope that I haven't forgotten to credit any of the translators that send updates during the 0.56 release-cycle). Feedback is welcome! I didn't tested this release on a rpm system (lack of resources). If you find problems with it on rpm based systems, please report them, we'll then try to get a maintenance release out quickly then. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer. Linux is The Question. - Neo _______________________________________________ Synaptic-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/synaptic-devel
