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:

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

- new runtime switch "--add-cdrom /dev/xxx"
- new runtime switch "--dist-upgrade-mode"

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
