Note that many of these are just random ideas, not all of them will get implemented
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-0.6.7:
-* scale package icons to proper size in the package details dialog
-* other minor UI tweaks
-* fix: show free space and size correctly for large filesystems
-- system upgrade warning does not work
-- remove autorotation hacks (should work now with maemo pr1.3)
-- make sure network is online on startup (utilize Qt mobility features)
-- possible to save package selection or a list of installed (user category) packages anywhere ("backup & restore")
-
-
-0.7:
-- support loading .install files
-- support installing local .debs
-- dbus interface for installing packages by name
-- mime type handling for .install and .deb (can it be done without conflicting HAM?)
-- support translations
+0.7.x:
+- support loading .install files (partially done)
-later/any/uncertain:
-- fetch dates from other repositories than maemo.org?
-- don't lose package selections when returning to main menu
- (autostore/load selections - to different file than normal store)
-- update install/remove changes directly to internal package db & don't require re-reading package lists afterwards
-- 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 / repository color coding?
-- fetch dates for other than user categories?
-- 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...)
-- option to select cache location?
+
+later/uncertain:
+
+- better blacklist editor
+- ability to import/export blacklist?
- possibility to force reinstall of an already installed package
-- warn about unauthenticated packages / option to disable installing unauthenticated packages
-- show download speed and current repo for apt-get update (very hard since apt-get update output does not show
+- fetch dates from other repositories than maemo.org?
+- support translations
+
+- support installing local .debs
+- mime type handling for .install and .deb (can it be done without conflicting HAM?)
+
+- show download speed and current repo for apt-get update (very hard to do since apt-get update output does not show
all the information needed to get the current list file names?)
-- ability to import/export blacklist
-- "problem solver" feature (find broken packages, handle recovery from broken packages better)
-known bugs:
-- possible to get stuck in portrait mode (wait for Qt autorotation fix)
+
+known bugs/shortcomings:
- no window menu indicator in stacked windows (probably a Qt bug)
- updating menu icons after installation does not work or works only sometimes (currently disabled)
+- does not warn about system upgrade?
+- date fetching is quite slow with qt4.7
+- no way to edit the blacklist status of packages that are currently unknown
+- crash in QNetworkManager with dummy APN (Qt bug?)
