Version 0.1.2
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Backends:
|
|
|
|
- Add a new python based APT backend (Ali Sabil)
|
|
|
|
- Significant smart backend updates (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Significant PiSi backend updates (S.Çağlar Onur)
|
|
|
|
- More yum functionality (James Bowes, Tim Lauridsen)
|
|
|
|
- More box functionality (Grzegorz Dabrowski)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New features:
|
|
|
|
- Allow PkClient to be set promiscuous, i.e. to report all activity and use to
|
|
|
|
get the errors and completions (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Add pk-backend-python.[c|h], for common spawning functions for python
|
|
|
|
backends and switch the backends to use them (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Use pk_strzero, pk_strlen and pk_strcmp to increase performance and
|
|
|
|
potentally improve security (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Add resolve support to pkcon get depends/requires/description/updatedetail
|
|
|
|
(S.Çağlar Onur)
|
|
|
|
- Try to guess the remaining time of the transaction using a super nifty
|
|
|
|
algorithm (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Add Cleanup and Obsoleting as info states so we don't scare the user with
|
|
|
|
DELETING when they are doing an upgrade (Richard Hughes, Tim Lauridsen)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* API changes:
|
|
|
|
- Switch the discrete GetPercentage and GetSubPercentage to a GetProgress
|
|
|
|
method that allows us to report remaining and elapsed time into the
|
|
|
|
client UI (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Sanitise more text from the backends in case the backend sends invalid or
|
|
|
|
malicious text (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Defer destroying the backend for 5 seconds so we can query it in the
|
|
|
|
finished handler in clients (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Add GetFiles method so we don't slow down the GUI box getting the file list
|
|
|
|
every time we click a package (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Calculate progress bar length based on terminal columns (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Convert RefreshCache to a privileged operation but with default to allow
|
|
|
|
when on active console. The distro can then patch this default to whatever
|
|
|
|
depending on the security policy - and the admin can of course change the
|
|
|
|
default. (S.Çağlar Onur)

|
|
|
|
Version 0.1.1
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New backends:
|
|
|
|
- A SMART backend (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- A PiSi backend (S.Çağlar Onur)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New features:
|
|
|
|
- A better, easier to use website; http://www.packagekit.org (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Added missing install-file.py so we can do local rpm installs (Tim Lauridsen)
|
|
|
|
- Be ultra-paranoid about validating input from the user (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Send SIGQUIT and then SIGKILL after a little delay, so we can clean up the
|
|
|
|
backends nicely by unlocking when we cancel (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Add resolve functionality in pkcon to allow non-package_id use, for instance
|
|
|
|
'pkcon remove gimp' now does the right thing (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Display a pulsing progress bar for no-progress-updates and percentage-update
|
|
|
|
that is shown when using a console (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Remove the hard dependency on NetworkManager so other networking stacks
|
|
|
|
can be used instead (S.Çağlar Onur, Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Add a filter parameter for Resolve() so we can do the filtering in the
|
|
|
|
spawned backend without duplicating code (James Bowes, Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Substantial additions to the box backend (Grzegorz Dabrowski)
|
|
|
|
- Add GetRepoList and RepoEnable to the yum backend (Tim Lauridsen)
|
|
|
|
- Add bash completion script for pkcon (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Get the repo list for the aplm backend (Andreas Obergrusberger)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* API changes:
|
|
|
|
- Store the transaction database in /var/lib rather than /var/db (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Don't expose the private list in PkTaskList, instead use verified functions
|
|
|
|
to ensure we can't corrupt data accidentally (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Don't export the private data array in PkClient or PkPackageList - this
|
|
|
|
breaks API, so the library version has been bumped (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bugfixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix the resolve method parameter passing - now pk-install-package should work
|
|
|
|
correctly (James Bowes)
|
|
|
|
- Fix all the copyright notices to be a standard GPL2+ boilerplate licence
|
|
|
|
text (Tom Parker, Robin Norwood)
|
|
|
|
- Dist the local apt headers so the apt backend can be compiled from a tarball
|
|
|
|
rather than just from git (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Fix a 1-in-10 random daemon startup crash when backends do libnm_glib init,
|
|
|
|
shutdown, init, shutdown repeatedly (Richard Hughes)
|
|
|
|
- Added locking in the yum backend to allow simultaneous use of the yum command
|
|
|
|
line tool or yum-updatesd (Tim Lauridsen)
|
|
|
|
- Fix NoPercentageUpdates validity checking (James Bowes)
