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.
Libraries:
- Do not add two refs on the PkPackage when in a sack (Richard Hughes)
- Do not check if the package-id name is valid UTF-8 (Richard Hughes)
- Do not maintain two arrays of the same packages (Richard Hughes)
- Do not use g_strdup_printf() when building a package_id (Richard Hughes)
- Optimise pk_package_set_id() by not using g_strsplit() (Richard Hughes)
- Remove an overly-cautious dup when setting the package ID (Richard Hughes)
