Dear Friends,


we are happy to release the new version 0.55 today. It will fix the
problem that synaptic will exit after it showed the changes window on
gtk2.5 systems (Ubuntu Linux/Fedora Core). It has some other nice
feature as well but it got a little testing this time, because we
wanted to release quick. If you find any problems, please let us know
(either via the mailinglist, directly to me or the BTS of your
choice).

NEWS:
 - new columns: "component", "section", "suppported" (first two off by default)
 - support to mark packages as supported by the distribution,
   (see the attached file for details)
 - AND/OR mode for pattern filter has gui support now
 - Auto install for recommended packages is back
 - When the find window is opened, the current text is selected
 - Views looks a bit more like in Evolution
 - "Force version" has the shortcut (CTRL-e)
 - Updated german translation (thanks to Sebastian Heinlein)
 - Various bugfixes

I'm interessted in your opionion in the supported column. The basic
idea is to make it easy for the user to see what packages come from
the distribution and what come from other repositories. It should be
straightforward to support other distribution that debian with it.

Some feedback if RPM support if working all right would be nice as
well. 

You can get the packages at the usual location at:

You can do this in a number of ways.  IBM chose to do all of them.
Why do you find that funny?

Mark distro supported packages in synaptic
------------------------------------------


Synaptic works on quite a few distributions. If you want to tweak synaptic
so that it marks the packages that are supported by your distribution, you
have to make sure, that you support the "Label" field in the APT Release 
file. 

Set the following conf Vars:
----------------------------
Synaptic::mark-unsupported=y
Synaptic::supported-label="Debian Debian-Security"
Synaptic::supported-components="main updates/main"
Synaptic::supported-text=_("Package is supported")

And change the label to your Distro label. 

Then change the "pixmap/package-supported.png" to whatever icon you want.
