Version 1.0.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2014-09-12
Notes:
- After over 7 years, 99 tarball releases and 11697 commits from 284 people
we've finally released the first stable version. Woohoo!
- I wanted to sent out a heart-felt thank you to all the people who have
contributed to the success of this project. I couldn't have done it on my
own and quite a few people were more important than they realize.
- Now, onto more practical aspects. These are the big changes for this release:
* The offline update functionality has moved to a proper D-Bus interface and
the pkexec helpers have been removed. Offline updates is an important
feature that no longer deserves to be bolted-on. All the existing users
have been ported to the new interface, but you need 3.13.92 if you're
running GNOME from unstable or jhbuild.
* No more plugins. Both in-tree and out-of-tree plugins were the biggest
source of crashes, and with the systemd offline updates merged into the core
daemon they are just not reuired anymore. All affected projects have been
notified.
* No more conary, opkg, smart or yum plugins. These have been unmaintained and
broken for over two years, so time to give them the heave-ho.
* The alpm, aptcc, hif and zypp plugins have had lots of love, and are up to
date with the latest features and working well.

Version 0.8.14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2013-12-02
Notes:
- We've removed and deprecated the parts of PackageKit that either didn't
work very well, or simply were not being used. The library and soname stays
the same, but a lot of daemon cruft has been removed.
- If you're wondering why a particular feature was removed, please either
look at the commit history or have a look at the ChangeLog.
- A lot of the work above focused on speed, and packagekitd is substantially
faster on most backends now. 100ms here, 50ms there; things feel a lot more
snappy doing the most common operations.

- Do not check if the package-id name is valid UTF-8 (Richard Hughes)

allow multiple transactions to run in parallel.
This makes applications such as gnome-software and software-center
run without having to wait for the global lock just to query.

- Fix GIR annotations (and add PkBackendJob) (Matthias Klumpp)
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.

- glib: Don't update the transaction role to 'unknown' (Richard Hughes)

Version 0.8.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2012-06-25
Notes:
- We've broken a lot of API in this release. A LOT. If you're using the
systemd D-Bus interface of PackageKit, then it's likely you'll have
to spend a few minutes converting to the new interfaces.
If you use the packagekit-glib or packagekit-qt bindings they'll
be the odd change too, but nothing quite as drastic.
- Both the client libraries broke ABI, so there's a soname bump.
- Needless to say, it's probably not a good idea to push all this new
and broken code into your super-stable paid-for-support distro.
- If anyone has questions about porting, grab one of us developers on
the PackageKit mailing list.

Version 0.7.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2011-09-05
Notes:
- This is the first release of the unstable 0.7.x series.
- This code removes a lot of deprecated code and compatibility shims
compared to the previous branch.
- Highlights of this release is the new transaction plugin interface
that allows external projects to add modules for interfacing with
PackageKit. This allows projects such as Listaller to interface with
PackageKit to install self contained software blobs.
See http://listaller.tenstral.net/ for more information.
- The daemon code is now using GDBus rather than dbus-glib, but the
libpackagekit-glib library is still using the latter. It'll be
converted hopefully in time for 0.7.1.
- It's probably not a good idea to use releases from this branch for
stable distros or enterprise products!

Version 0.5.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2009-10-05
Notes:
- Quite a few method and property additions and clarifications to the spec,
with 7 methods now deprecated. We'll be supporting the deprecated methods all
through 0.5.x so client code does not have to worry until 0.6.x.
- Support for using idle bandwidth, disk and CPU in some circumstances.
- A new 'slapt' backend for slackware packages as a preview release.
- This is the first release to use the glib2 library internally. This makes the
client tools faster, more stable and more supportable. The headers are also
now used in the daemon and many of the synchronous methods are now async.
It is not yet recommended for external client programs use packagekit-glib2
as the API is not yet set in stone and may change. This is expected in 0.6.x.
Specification
- Add a Speed property to the interface as some users require the download speed (Richard Hughes)
- Add a per-Transaction ::Changed() signal and deprecate the other FooChanged() signals (Richard Hughes)
- Add OR delimiters to SearchName, SearchDetails, SearchGroup, SearchFile and WhatProvides (Richard Hughes)
- Add ElapsedTime and RemainingTime as properties on the Transaction interface (Richard Hughes)
- Mandate that ::Files() from DownloadPackages must be one per package, with the package_id set correctly (Richard Hughes)
- Deprecate SetLocale() and add another method to replace it, SetHints() (Richard Hughes)
- Deprecate ::Locked() and ::NetworkStateChanged() and add properties and a ::Changed() signal (Richard Hughes)

Version 0.5.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2009-08-03
Notes
- We've done some initial security review on this release, and the PackageKit
architecture in general. We've made a few small changes, but it all looked
pretty good overall. Certainly nothing to worry about.
See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/plain/docs/security.txt
- This is the first release of PackageKit where multiple users with different
proxy servers is supported. Proxy server support was pretty broken before.
See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/plain/docs/setting-the-proxy.txt

- Lots of bugfixes and a few new configure options
