aptitude 0.5.0 release notes

[11/10/2008]

Version 0.5.0

Wheee!

This version introduces the GTK+ frontend. Thanks are due to Obey Arthur Liu for providing code, ideas and energy to the project, and to Google for funding his work through their Summer of Code program in 2008.

This is an EXPERIMENTAL, DEVELOPMENT release. It can be used for package management, but there may be bugs, there are probably places that need improvement, and it is certainly incomplete.

aptitude in 2008 Google Summer of Code

I'm happy to announce that Obey Arthur Liu, one of the students assigned to Debian for the 2008 [Google Summer of Code][soc], is working on a GTK+ interface for aptitude. His GTK+ interface will be a completely new interface for aptitude, designed from scratch to exploit the capabilities of a graphical environment while building on the backend code that underlies the command-line and curses interfaces.

You can find Arthur's development blog, with the latest news regarding his progress on this project, at http://www.milliways.fr.

aptitude 0.4.11.2 release notes

[4/9/2008]

Version 0.4.11.2

How far the sky,
how cold the night,
how still the flowing river.
How sharp the air --
so pure the light --
beneath Orion's quiver.
Beneath the frozen, staring,
starry sky we lay a-shiver.

Moved to algebraicthunk

The aptitude Web page has moved to an Ikiwiki instance on algebraicthunk. The page here is incomplete and needs work, but it's already more complete than the old one was.

I need to work out how to automatically get a current version of the aptitude documentation posted on the Web. The easiest approach might be to just automatically fetch the unstable .debs and unpack them by hand (ick). Building on algebraicthunk will require some changes to the aptitude build scripts, which currently require an unstable version of apt to do anything; adding a way to disable building the program and just make docs would help here.
