0.18.9 (bugfix release; 2005/07/03)
This is the (hope) last release of 0.18.x branch.

* fixes related to glibc 2.3.5 by Jakub Bogusz (<qboosh att pld-linux org>) and
Arkadiusz Miskiewicz (<arekm att pld-linux org>):
- fixed cookie seek functions
- setvbuf() with small buffer to avoid reverse gzseeks on small forward fseeks
- do fread() instead of small forward fseeks
* fixed compilation with gcc 4.x (PLD's poldek-gcc4.patch)
* dependency resolving issues (Mariusz Krynski <mrk att sed pl>):
- packages marked for removal are not treated as candidates to upgrade
- user can choose among equivalents during conflict resolving.
* new --pmcmd to set rpm binary in place of default /bin/rpm
(Jan Rekorajski <baggins att sith.mimuw.edu.pl>)
0.18.8 (bugfix release; 2004/12/30)
* fixed checking file-based dependencies of packages being removed
* fixed another dependency processing bug (hard to explain)
* 'ls' output fixes to be parsable by external scripts (Patryk Zawadzki
<patrys at pld-dc org>)
* removed usage of superfluous n_free() (Tomasz Wittner <twittner at o2 pl>)
* vfile's progress bar: fixed displaying total transfer and rate
(Lukasz Masko at ipipan waw pl)
* support for RPM 4.4
* fixed build under Owl (rpm 4.0.2 without libelf)
* workaround for "group not found" bug
* pl and de translation fixes (PLD Team)
0.18.7 (major bugfix release; 2004/09/24)
* another stupid SIGSEGV killed (happened occasionally while dependency
processing)
* vfile's progress bar improvements (Patryk Zawadzki <p zawadzki at vegaballs com>)
* fix: disabled package Epoch's autopromotion while checking if it matches
requirement
* with rpm >= 4.1 packages with same provide are obsoleted, not just name
* fixed processing dependencies of orphaned packages
* SIGSEGV killed while reading packages with dir/file names longer than
127 bytes
* fixed package ordering bug
* with --caplookup packages may be installed by specifying its capabilities,
i.e: "poldek --caplookup -uv foo" will install package provides
"foo" (if any).
0.18.6 (major bugfix release; 2004/06/28)
* fixed broken dist installation
* fixed serious bug with dependency processing of obsoleted packages
* fixed --rpmdef '_dbpath DIR' (do not read rpm's configs many times)
* fix: --nofollow with --install-dist works as expected (#920)
* vfile: fixed progress bar displaying on std sized terminal (79 cols)
0.18.5 (bugfix release; 2004/05/23)
* fixed dowloading packages from apt-like sources
0.18.4 (bugfix && minor improvements release; 2004/05/10)
* package filenames in "non-standard" form (N-V.R.ARCH.rpm) are supported
* killed SIGSEGVs on 64bit architecture (Jakub Bogusz <qboosh at pld-linux org>)
* fixed Epoch comparison bug while checking uninstalled capabilities
* vfile: progress bar shows remaining time and transfer rate
(Patryk Zawadzki <p zawadzki at vegaballs com>)
* fixed setting cache directory bug (Andreas Piesk <a piesk at gmx net>)
* fixed serious bug of checking unversioned dependencies
* --ignore{arch,os} rpm options are honored
* rpm options could be passed as --rpm=OPTION too, i.e.
--rpm=ignorearch is equivalent of -- --rpm-ignorearch
* new cmdline options --rpm-{force,nodeps} which are passed
as --force and --nodeps to /bin/rpm only.
* more aggressive package upgrades - orphaned packages are upgraded
instead of processing its dependencies. This behavior is enabled
by "greedy" option. To disable put "aggressive_greedy = no" to config.
* "greedy" upgrade mode is enabled by default
* conflicts with already installed packages are treated as resolved
if at least one of multiple-installed package satisfies conflict.
Of course RPM doesn't support such cases, so additionally --rpm-nodeps
is needed (use with care). This behavior is enabled by default,
put "allow_duplicates=no" to config to disable it.
* displaying package size summary of installed package set
* --unique-pkg-names (-Q) behavior is more intuitive now - highest
version of package are taken instead of one from highest prioritized
source
0.18.3 (bugfix && improvements release; 2004/01/10)

(Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm at pld-linux org>)
* vfile_external_compress=yes in config allows gzipped indexes
to be used on systems with broken zlib linked in rpmio library
(rpm 4.2 from RedHat 9, Fedora)
* kill unaligned traps on Alpha, time_t is not 32bit long
(Jakub Bogusz <qboosh at pld-linux org>)
* new "promoteepoch" config and cmdline option switches Epoch comparison
by rpm prior to 4.2.1 (thanks to Jakub Bogusz <qboosh at pld-linux org>).
* support for RPM 4.2/4.3
* dependency processing fixes
* RPM 4.1 related fixes
0.18.1 (major bugfix release; 2002/11/27)
* ability of creation empty indexes
* killed SIGSEGV on '$ poldek -s /' (#443)
* fixed presentation of dependency tree during unistallations; information
about what package marks an others was completely broken
* killed SIGSEGV during dependencies processing
* fixed vfile's progress bar
* fixed 'hold' and 'ignore' package patterns matching
* fixed bug of interactive mode; after interrupted installation
selected packages are properly unmarked now.
0.18 (bugfix/minor enhancements release; 2002/11/07)
* support for RPM 4.1 (with help of Artur Frysiak <wiget at pld-linux org>)
* few dependency processing improvements:
- greedy upgrades are performed instead of marking different versions
of the same package,
- with --greedy packages are selected by Obsoletes tag too.
* 'hold' and 'ignore' package masks are matched with source name, package epoch,
version and release, i.e. masks apache-1.3.2* or ra:apache-1* are valid ones now.
* new: with --unique-pkg-names (-Q) packages with the same name are removed from
available package set
* sources are prioritized in order they are passed in cmdline, i.e. with
$ poldek -s /foo/bar -n pld
source 'foo/bar' obtains highest priority than 'pld', no matter
what priority 'pld' has in config file.
* fixed available package list management in interactive mode
* AM/AC stuff cleanup and adaptation to their new versions (automake 1.7
and autoconf 2.54)
(Artur Frysiak <wiget at pld-linux org>)
* Polish translation of manual page (GoTaR <gotar at pld-linux org>)
* fix: progress bar isn't refreshed so frequently (#367)
0.17.9 (bugfix/minor enhancements release; 2002/09/20)
* Obsoletes tag is used during upgrades (if --greedy is set)
* fixed dependency EVR matching
* source priorities (new 'pri' source option) -- if the same package is available
in more than one source than program takes package from source with highest priority.
If priorities aren't set sources are prioritized in order they are appear in config file.
* bugfix: -s URL works fine
0.17.8 (major bugfix release; 2002/08/18)
* package installation is verified with rpm database if rpm reports failure
* fixed obsoletes matching (Jakub Bogusz <qboosh at pld-linux org>)

0.17.6 (minor bugfix release; 2002/06/03)
* new "--ignore" option makes packages invisible to the poldek
* "hdrl" sources can be refreshed with --upa
* fixed package removal: don't follow dependencies if only one of
multiple-installed packages is intended to uninstall
* shell: search: pattern is treated as shell wildcard (matched by fnmatch(3))
by default; previous behavior (Perl regular expression matching) is available
with --perlre or "rsearch" alias.
* fixed package auto-selection among equivalents: dependencies aren't
verified strictly during package scoring.
* fixed bug of equivalent package selection (<Enter> was select first, not
default package).
* shell: with 'upgrade' and 'greedy-upgrade' commands only upgradeable
packages are auto-completed.
0.17.5 (minor bugfix release; 2002/05/15)
* about 75% less memory is used by incremental update of packages.dir
* improved package auto-selection among equivalents: package which marks
less packages to install is preferred
* vftp: fixed logging in when server doesn't ask for password
(Przemyslaw Frasunek <venglin at freebsd.lublin.pl>)
* bugfix: root directory (--rootdir) is always passed to rpm as absolute path
* shell: desc: file mode is displayed in human readable form
* fixed vfjuggle: packages.dir.md* are copied to hdd too
* few SIGSEGVs killed on "search" command when APT's pkglist file
is used as package index (thanks to Gustavo Niemeyer <niemeyer at conectiva com>)
0.17.4 (bugfix/minor enhancements release; 2002/05/06)
* new (major) modes:
--downgrade downgrade given packages
--reinstall major mode reinstalls given packages
-e,--erase removes packages with its reverse dependent ones
* shell: fixed C-c handling (connecting phase can be interrupted)
* improved splitting:
- packages are auto-rearranged on chunk's boundaries
- masks with priority < 0 are always applied at first
* killed SIGSEGV on long URL's basenames
* source prefix is handled properly with --mkidx*
0.17.3
* supported "hdlist" files (simple raw RPM package headers list) as
sources. These files are used by APT-RPM as they are widely supported
by RPM based distributions. However this format isn't optimal, now
poldek is useable with almost every RPM based distro without poldek's
native indexes support.
See poldekrc.sample-{rh,mdk} for examples of RedHat and Mandrake
configuration.
* new "type=[pidx|dir|hdrl]" source option lets define source type in
configuration file. Needed to distinguish "hdlist" ('hdrl' type) from
"native" index format. Cmdline options: --source for 'pidx', --sdir for
'dir' and --shdrl for 'hdrl'.
* support for GPG/PGP signatures verification (new "gpg" and "pgp"
source options). Verification works well with rpm >= 4.0.4 or patched
PLD's rpm 4.0.2 package (release 62).
* simple HTTP client (with partly HTTP/1.1 support), it is used for
HTTP downloads; cURL backend is not compiled by default.
* added IPv6 support to internal FTP client
* new "--clean" and "--clean-whole" options for cache directory
cleanup
* URLs with user and password (ftp://user:passwd at host:port/path/ syntax)
are supported (Andreas Piesk <a piesk at gmx.net>)
* new "ftp_sysuser_as_anon_passwd" option causes sending
login at hostname as anonymous FTP password
* new "noautoup" source option tells poldek to do not update
source by default.
* shell: added long listig format of file list (poldek> desc -ll)
* misc fixes to compile on SuSE
* fixed rpm 3.x support (with help of Roger Luethi <rl at hellgate.ch>)
* fixed and improved handling of bool configuration options,
added on/off and enable/disable to the list of valid choices
(Andreas Piesk <a piesk at gmx.net>)
* fixed detection of file based conflicts between available packages.
* packages with capabilities with the same name and different
versions are handled properly
* misc fixes to compile and work with glibc2.1 (with
help of Andreas Piesk <a piesk at gmx net>)
* installation of multiple instances of package is allowed (by poldek -i)
* fixes and improvements of dependency resolution:
- fixed greedy mode
- fixed handling package conflicts added by poldek
- faster dependency checking
* German translation (Andreas Piesk <a piesk at gmx.net>)
* various bugs are fixed:
- double '/' in paths handling
- huge mem leak on --update
- ambiguous p_open() flags (Michal Moskal <malekith at pld-linux org>)
- removed [v]snprintf() (wrong) usage; trurlib's n_[v]snprintf()
are used instead
- automake/autoconf fixes (Artur Frysiak <wiget at pld-linux org>)
- many minor fixes (thanks to Andreas Piesk <a piesk at gmx.net>)
0.17.2
* "ported" to RedHat 7.2 (with rpm 4.0.4)
* install-dist: --force forces installation of broken package sets
* corrected package installation progress bar
(Michal Moskal <malekith at pld-linux org>)
* install-dist: log INST-{OK,ERR} for PLD Installer
(Michal Moskal <malekith at pld-linux org>)
* --dump* works properly
* vftp: fixed error handling
0.17.1
* ftp: fixed multiline responses handling
0.17 (beta release):
* added support for package.dir's "patches" (new option --update-whole
updates whole index; --update looking for patches first)
* packages are divided into groups before install and each group
is installed separately; this ensures that broken dependencies in
one of group doesn't affect the rest.
* improved dependency processing:
- package may be marked for install as a consequence of conflict
- dependency loops detected during install time are noticed in human
readable form
- improved "greedy" selection - if foo-VER is upgraded, then eventual
"greedy" marks will mark foo-{devel,static,etc} in version VER too.
* added simple ftp client; it is used for FTP downloads by default
* shell:
- db package list is cached what speeds up program start
- ls: long listings are passed to $PAGER program (default is "less")
- ls: new switches: -n (list package names only), -G (list group)
and -O (show package summaries)
* added log file support (--log option)
* sources may be configured as name and URL pair and later
selected by that name (new --sn|-n option).
With --sl|-l program lists all configured sources.
* packages.dir's integrity is verified before each loading
what prevents program SIGSEGVs on load broken indexes
* changed default cache directory to $HOME/.poldek-cache
* package MD5 sums are verified before install
* with --ask program confirms each installation (confirm_install config
option) and allows the user to choose among equivalent packages
(choose_equivalents_manually config option)
* few (nice) improvements and (not so nice ;-) bugs fixed

0.15.8:
* curl: disabled timeouts, cURL's timeout it's a time to transfer file
