Version 0.8.14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2013-12-02

Notes:
 - We've removed and deprecated the parts of PackageKit that either didn't
   work very well, or simply were not being used. The library and soname stays
   the same, but a lot of daemon cruft has been removed.
 - If you're wondering why a particular feature was removed, please either
   look at the commit history or have a look at the ChangeLog.
 - A lot of the work above focused on speed, and packagekitd is substantially
   faster on most backends now. 100ms here, 50ms there; things feel a lot more
   snappy doing the most common operations.

Version 0.8.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2012-08-06

   allow multiple transactions to run in parallel.
   This makes applications such as gnome-software and software-center
   run without having to wait for the global lock just to query.

   backends still run each transaction one at a time.

Version 0.8.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2012-07-16

Notes:
 - We broke backend API and libpackagekit-glib and libpackagekit-qt
   ABI. Again. This should hopefully be the last soname bump in the
   0.8.x series.
 - We split up PkBackend into PkBackend and PkBackendJob. It's a pretty
   huge internal change, but it'll allow us to turn on the parallel
   transactions stuff in the next couple of releases. Most backends
   need updating, although sed has done a lot of the heavy lifting.
 - The systemd-updates has had a lot of bugfixes and poilish and is now
   ready to be used by end users. There's even a test document now.
 - You can now write plugins that get run if the daemon is told to drop
   internal state as another package manager is running, e.g. YUM CLI.

 - glib: Don't update the transaction role to 'unknown' (Richard Hughes)
 - glib: Remove support for UpdateSystem() (Richard Hughes)

 - When sending ::Transaction(), send the role as a uint to match the DBus specification (Richard Hughes)

Version 0.8.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2012-06-25

Notes:
 - We've broken a lot of API in this release. A LOT. If you're using the
   systemd D-Bus interface of PackageKit, then it's likely you'll have
   to spend a few minutes converting to the new interfaces.
   If you use the packagekit-glib or packagekit-qt bindings they'll
   be the odd change too, but nothing quite as drastic.
 - Both the client libraries broke ABI, so there's a soname bump.
 - Needless to say, it's probably not a good idea to push all this new
   and broken code into your super-stable paid-for-support distro.
 - If anyone has questions about porting, grab one of us developers on
   the PackageKit mailing list.

Version 0.7.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2011-09-05

Notes:
 - This is the first release of the unstable 0.7.x series.
 - This code removes a lot of deprecated code and compatibility shims
   compared to the previous branch.
 - Highlights of this release is the new transaction plugin interface
   that allows external projects to add modules for interfacing with
   PackageKit. This allows projects such as Listaller to interface with
   PackageKit to install self contained software blobs.
   See http://listaller.tenstral.net/ for more information.
 - The daemon code is now using GDBus rather than dbus-glib, but the
   libpackagekit-glib library is still using the latter. It'll be
   converted hopefully in time for 0.7.1.
 - It's probably not a good idea to use releases from this branch for
   stable distros or enterprise products!

Version 0.5.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2009-10-05

Notes:
 - Quite a few method and property additions and clarifications to the spec,
   with 7 methods now deprecated. We'll be supporting the deprecated methods all
   through 0.5.x so client code does not have to worry until 0.6.x.
 - Support for using idle bandwidth, disk and CPU in some circumstances.
 - A new 'slapt' backend for slackware packages as a preview release.
 - This is the first release to use the glib2 library internally. This makes the
   client tools faster, more stable and more supportable. The headers are also
   now used in the daemon and many of the synchronous methods are now async.
   It is not yet recommended for external client programs use packagekit-glib2
   as the API is not yet set in stone and may change. This is expected in 0.6.x.

Specification
 - Add a Speed property to the interface as some users require the download speed (Richard Hughes)
 - Add a per-Transaction ::Changed() signal and deprecate the other FooChanged() signals (Richard Hughes)
 - Add OR delimiters to SearchName, SearchDetails, SearchGroup, SearchFile and WhatProvides (Richard Hughes)
 - Add ElapsedTime and RemainingTime as properties on the Transaction interface (Richard Hughes)
 - Mandate that ::Files() from DownloadPackages must be one per package, with the package_id set correctly (Richard Hughes)
 - Deprecate SetLocale() and add another method to replace it, SetHints() (Richard Hughes)
 - Deprecate ::Locked() and ::NetworkStateChanged() and add properties and a ::Changed() signal (Richard Hughes)
