Please test and report any problems here. This is not the place for setup feature requests. Changes compared to 2.884: User visible changes: - 'Current' is replaced by 'Best' (which is slightly different in ways it's difficult to summarize briefly) and 'Sync' (which exposes the --force-current option through the UI). These are modified by a 'Test' checkbox, which allows test packages to be used. - The "prereq" page showing dependencies which will be added is replaced by "problems" page showing problems found by the dependency solver, with default solutions. - A "confirm" page is added showing all the changes which will be made. Internal changes: - Uses the libsolv dependency solver, rather than a home-made one. - Add support for 'depends2: package (relation version) [...]', in a version section in setup.ini - Add support for 'obsoletes:' in setup.ini, likewise - Add support for 'replace-versions:' in a package section setup.ini, to indicate problematic versions. Other: - Query the user for action to take if a corrupt local file is found - Validate package hash after download - Any MessageBox shown during setup.ini parsing is now modal A big 'thank you' to Ken Brown for all his work on this.
