* show user/hidden category apps in the list of installed apps (remove only)
* show "recommends" and "suggests" in package dependencies if there are any
* check rootfs and opt free space on startup and warn if low
+* option to disable automatic catalog updates
+* option to start fetching changelogs immediately when package view is opened
+* warn about immediate conflicts when selecting a package for operation (note that this doesn't check all possible conflicts)
+* don't use hildon banner in portrait mode
+* use the proxy settings for fetching package date information and changelogs
* switched to garage bugtracker
-- option to disable automatic catalog updates
-- add an option to start fetching changelogs immediately when package view is opened
-- require lists refresh if more than 60 min from previous refresh when opening packageview
- (currently only checks idling time in main menu)
-- read hildon app manager repository settings (get disabled repos, correct names)
-- check dependencies when selecting packages (at least warn about conflicts)
-- update install/remove changes directly to internal package db & don't require re-reading package lists afterwards
-- use proxy settings for fetching package date information and changelogs
-* source code now available from garage (git)
+- move stuff away from Package class for possible speed increase
+
+* source code now available also from garage (git)

+0.6.5
+- a bugfix release (if needed)
+- promote to extras-testing
0.7:
+- update install/remove changes directly to internal package db & don't require re-reading package lists afterwards
- support loading .install files
- support installing local .debs
-- mime type handling for .install and .deb
-- can ovi store .debs be installed?
+- mime type handling for .install and .deb (can it be done without conflicting HAM?)
-0.8:
+0.8 (possibly):
- "problem solver" window/feature (find broken packages, handle recovery from broken packages better)
later/any/uncertain:
- don't lose package selections when returning to main menu
(autostore/load selections - to different file than normal store)
-- ability to easily add extras-devel and extras-testing to repos if they don't exist
-- load package lists in the background when the main menu is visible?
+- show download speed for apt-get update
+- keep a list of recently removed apps for easy reinstallation
+- add an option to start fetching changelogs automatically for all upgradeable packages?
- how to handle package names that end in '-'? (theoretically they are valid but nonexistent?)
- filtering by repository?
-- load system proxy settings (libgq-gconf)?
- make sure network is online on startup?
- fetch dates for other than user categories?
-- show download speed for apt-get update
-- a better blacklist editor?
-- add an option to start fetching changelogs automatically for all upgradeable packages?
- "online search" (a new button to main menu): use maemo.org search to find packages without loading local package lists (?)
+- ability to easily add extras-devel and extras-testing to repos if they don't exist
+- load package lists in the background when the main menu is visible?
+- read all hildon app manager repository settings (requires too much work...)
