[Synaptic-devel] New release 0.35

[Michael Vogt]

Dear Friends,

we released synaptic 0.35 today. Lot's of changes:

0.35:
 - Synaptic uses a tree view now. Users may select from
   "Section tree", "Alphabetic tree", "Status tree", or
   "Raw list" views.
 - "What will change" dialog, informing how the current selection
   will change, if the user try to do some action in a package
   that would require further changes in the current selection.
 - Now it's possible to include APT-enabled CDROMs in the database
   using synaptic (apt-cdrom like).
 - Undo/Redo implemented, allowing one to rollback changes in the
   selection.
 - Filter and button for debconf packages (debian only).
 - Improved progress dialog for rpm installation.
 - If --with-zvt was used, terminal vizualization during package
   manager action is now runtime configurable.
 - Many minor improvements in the user interface, including great
   new icons.
 - applied a patch from Mike Snitzer to make it possible to search for
   versions.
 - Bugfixes.

As there is quite a lot of new code in it, please report any bugs and
problems. One problem we are aware of is that the "flat list" display
mode is rather slow for >2000 packages. We are not sure if there is a
lot we can do against it, as the GtkTreeView seems to be a bit
slow. People interessted in helping with this may have a look at the
"fastlistview" branch and/or conntact me directly. 

You can get it at the usual place at

bye,
 Michael
