1.4.2 - December 2nd, 2002
* Upload to the Debian archive.
* Include fixes for a bug in 'contents' and some code cleanups by Norbert Kiesel.
* Include the 'policy' command.
1.4.1 - August 23rd, 2002
* Fix a typo in the documentation.
1.4.0 - July 21st, 2002
* Happy birthday to Feta.
* Fix a warning.
1.3.1 - July 16th, 2002
* Minor packaging fixes.
* Fix a pointy bug.
* Some command aliases removed.
* Rename "find" to "provides", keeping an alias.
1.3.0 - March 14th, 2002
* 'available' has been rewritten in Perl.
* Added the 'apt-sources' and 'alternatives' commands.
* The 'force' commands have been moved into Feta itself.
* Tons of commands have been renamed. 'task install' and 'task list' are 'install-tasks' and 'list-tasks'; 'toinstall', 'topurge', and 'toupgrade' are 'to-install', 'to-purge', and 'to-upgrade'; 'packagesizes' is 'package-sizes'; 'purgeoldconfig' is 'purge-config'; 'finstall', 'fpurge', and 'fremove' are 'force-install', 'force-purge', and 'force-remove'; 'build-dep' is 'build-depends'; 'whatis' is 'what-is'; 'showpkg' is 'show-package'. The changes were made for consistency. The old names do not work anymore.
* 'which-package' (previously 'whichpkg') uses auto-apt, and is part of Feta. Also, Fumitoshi UKAI (the author of auto-apt) gets a "you rock" for naming his releases after Cowboy Bebop episodes. I can't wait for Mushroom Hunting.
* Support for dpkg-statoverride was added using the 'overrides' command (and associated, less user-friendly ones).
* Plugins are distributed in the main tarball now. They are also in a plugins/ subdirectory, rather than in /usr/share/feta (to distinguish them from help files).
* 'help' can now give help on specific commands, and based on the value of $LANG. An 'apropos' plugin has been added to search the help files.
* Errors and warnings are handled differently. Actual program errors are displayed only when using -V; otherwise, Feta displays a generic error. Feta's errors and warnings follow the standard E:/W: APT pattern now.
* Bug fixes.
1.2.3 - January 21st, 2002
* 'prep' correctly refreshes the command list after it is run.
* I think it works in Perl 5.00x again.
* Search results are sorted.
* Some minor code cleanup.
1.2.2 - December 19th, 2001
* hold/unhold is faster.
* The advanced search syntax has incompatibly changed.
* Require debconf.
* I swear RPMs install right now.
* Bug fixes (orphan, contents, configure, info, find, man page cruft).
1.2.1 - November 18th, 2001
* Install RPMs from URLs.
* Bug fixes.
1.2.0 - November 9th, 2001
* contents and info can now take more than one filename as a parameter.
* APT's super cow powers are now supported.
* Remove the messages regarding root if you are root, or in quiet mode.
* Superuser passwords are prompted for less by using more composite commands.
* Transparently install RPMs thanks to alien.
* Feta can install feta-plugins as part of preping.
* Bugs squished, size reduced.
1.1.0 - October 26th, 2001
* A complete internal rewrite. Feta is much cleaner and understandable, uses less memory, has less bugs, and feels faster.
* The meaning of -q has changed; it now means "display as little as possible" rather than display nothing.
* -t, -y, -q, and -V are passed to plugins.
* Sudo is used if -o is given. Feta can be abused via quoting magic to run arbitrary commands, so be careful with your sudo permissions.
* README.BASH for command completion in bash. I haven't tested this myself.
* 'list' is now dpkg --list instead of --contents.
* -m for --simulate-only in APT.
1.0.1 - October 15th, 2001
* Never ask to update more than once per session.
* Flush the DPKG file descriptor to avoid waiting after a hold.
* Last bit in the Feta 1.0.x branch barring major bugs. Feta 1.2 starts now.
1.0.0 - October 13th, 2001
* Removed changes - it is now a plugin.
* Updated the README file to remove design comments.
* Provide some kind of feedback for running plugins when in teaching mode.
* Plugins with .0 su to get root.
* Longopts are now used for readability in the code.
0.9.1 - September 30th, 2001
* Bug fixes.
* Use of -d for --download-only; forgot to mention it last time.
* For that reason, the download command has been removed.
* -u and -U, for update and don't update.
* Do not exit on failure. -x will make Feta exit immediately on failure.
* 'commands' also lists plugin-created commands.
0.9.0 - September 21st, 2001
* -y for --assume-yes.
* Use apt-get for purging.
* Update no longer prompts when using -q, -y, or explicitly using 'upgrade'.
* Updated README.ZSH with a better compctl setting.
* Ran perltidy on source. Looks nicer.
0.3.3 - September 9th, 2001
* Reinstall, toinstall, topurge commands (based off Graham William's and Kayon Toga's `wajig' program).
* Basic plugin support. Please read the PLUGINS file included.
* Remove localepurge support (for now).
* A feta-plugin tarball should be released soon (within ~2 weeks).
* New installation method.
0.3.2 - August 26th, 2001
* Commands work again (this is why it's the unstable series :P).
* Reduced startup time.
0.3.1 - August 25th, 2001
* I grok the difference between autoclean and clean right now.
* Various minor bug/documentation fixes.
* Readline support.
* 'names' and 'showpkg' from Matt McClanahan.
* Verbose installs/upgrades (-V).
* Trimmed the command list to fit on one screen, at the expense of some help.
* New "commands" command, to aid zsh autocompletion.
0.3.0 - August 17th, 2001
* Applied a patch from Moritz Muehlenhoff that added "changes".
* 'orphan' removes packages (as -h said it did before).
* 'check' command added.
* Updated documentation.
0.2.0 - August 10th, 2001
* Quiet mode is quieter.
* Updated documentation.
* First stable version.
0.1.3 - July 29th, 2001
* reportbug support.
* apt-localepurge support.
* debsums support.
* Automatically install missing programs, or remove their commands.
* Automatically su on commands that need/want root.
* Automatically install build-deps for the build command.
* Added field-based search/show commands (via grep-dctrl).
* Shortened command lines (-irpSsLIcu).
* Many minor bug fixes.
0.1.2 - July 26th, 2001
* Install the man page (whoops).
* Correct the July 28th date (whoops more).
0.1.1 - July 25th, 2001
