synaptic (0.50-1) unstable; urgency=low Synaptic is no longer is build with "package hold" support. This used to be implemented using apt pins but debian apt maintainer says that this is not the right way (see #235841 for details). If you used to "hold" packages with synaptic, please remove the pins by editing /etc/apt/preferences. Debtags support is no longer available but it will be readded once it's ported to the new code. -- Michael Vogt Thu, 20 May 2004 18:07:24 +0200 synaptic (0.48-1) unstable; urgency=low The format of the color configuration changed for version 0.48. This means that if you have customized the colors in synaptic, you will have to do it once again. Sorry for this inconvenience. -- Michael Vogt Sat, 3 Jan 2004 03:01:49 +0100 synaptic (0.41-1) unstable; urgency=low There is a additional package now called "synaptic-debtags" that can be installed instead of synaptic. This package includes support for the new "debtags" system that makes searching and displaying of the packages much more flexible. The package is a bit more experimental than plain synaptic and there is some work to be done, but IMHO it's very promising. More information about synaptic-debtags can be found at /usr/share/doc/synaptic-debtags/README.debtags. More information about debtags in general is available at: http://deb-usability.alioth.debian.org/debtags/ Thanks to Enrico Zini for implementing debtag support in synaptic and Erich Schubert for building the debtag database! -- Michael Vogt Sat, 12 Jul 2003 11:32:47 +0200 synaptic (0.40-1) unstable; urgency=low The debconf filter has changed. It is no longer a button in the status filter tab but a simple pattern filter (" "debconf"). Because of this filters that use the "Not (no longer) installable" status button will need to be rechecked by hand. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Michael Vogt Sat, 12 Jul 2003 11:32:47 +0200
