14 DAY TRIAL // Synaptic Package Manager 0.80 was announced on May 10 by its author, Michael Vogt, and it brought a few updates, fixes and some code cleanup.
Michael Vogt, the lead developer for APT team for Debian and a software developer at Canonical, has deemed the Synaptic 0.80 package to be unstable, at least for now.
Highlights of Synaptic 0.80:
• The Homepage Field has been added to debian/control; • A crash, that occurred when srcPackage doesn't have a version, has been fixed; • Typeahead has been disabled in the summary dialog; • A reload button has been added to the repositories changed dialog; • The filter editing checkbox has been improved; • The Apply button is now focused by default.
Synaptic is a graphical package management program for apt. It provides the same features as the apt-get command-line utility with a GUI front-end based on GTK+. Most importantly, users can install, remove, upgrade and downgrade single and multiple packages.
