All releases tagged Major feature enhancements


Release Notes: A copy of the GUI is included in the main archive so that console mode isn't needed on the first run. GPG signatures can be placed in an XML comment so that signed interfaces are still well-formed XML (and can be styled with XSLT, for example). Support was added for downloading with FTP, not just HTTP, and for extracting from RPMs, not just tarballs. If plash is installed, it is used to sandbox the extraction process as an extra layer of security (to protect against bugs in tar or cpio).


Release Notes: Remote feeds are now fully supported. This means that people providing binaries can host their own interface files, which are linked from the master one. The correct feed will be used for the user's platform.


Release Notes: This release adds support for interfaces which provide multiple binaries (e.g., svn and svnadmin). 0alias can now create launchers for local interfaces. Release dates are now shown in the GUI. Various bugs have been fixed.


Release Notes: Local interface files can be run directly or registered as an extra source of versions (allowing you to make a CVS copy appear on the list of available versions easily, for example). Extra system cache directories can be listed, allowing easier sharing of downloads. A bug in the detection of the version of tar was fixed. Mandrake and SuSE RPMs are now available.
