NEWS for Computer Janitor
=========================
This file summarizes mainly user-visible changes. For detailed
changes, please see the bzr commit log messages.
Version 2.1.1, released 20XX-XX-XX
* 24x24 icon location is fixed. (LP: #720743)
Version 2.1.0, released 2011-02-16
Martin Pitt
* Port from pygtk to pygi, giving identical functionality under GTK3,
however main-panel popup menus are non-functional under GTK2.
Barry Warsaw
* Add Edit menu items for selecting and deselecting cruft.
* Bump version number.
* Update copyright years.
* Python style, whitespace, and import cleanups.
* Print error messages via logger instead of stderr.
Version 2.0.5, released 2011-02-15
* python-dbus cannot type-convert a set, so use a tuple for the package
set when --all is given to the computer-janitor cli. (LP: #601585)
* Fix exception when the user de-selects all cruft in the ui, then clicks
on the 'Do' button. Instead, a dialog pops up that says there's nothing
to do. (LP: #591433)
* Clean up some unused imports.
Version 2.0.4, released 2010-09-20
* Update translation strings (LP: #621723) (LP: #612493)
* computer-janitor-gtk --help and --version switches added
* Fixed SystemError crash in open() (LP: #545306)
* Do not depend on python-fstab any more.
* Fixed icon (LP: #434431) - Pavol Klačanský
Version 2.0, released 2010-03-15
* Refactored the system modifying parts of Computer Janitor into a
separate dbus daemon. This allows you to run the cli or gtk versions
without being root. You will be prompted for the administrative
password when necessary.
* The user interface has been cleaned up to remove previously unused gui
elements.
Version 1.13.3, released 2009-09-09
* Fixed URL in About dialog.
* The "Do cleanups" button is now set to sensitive when there is
something to clean.
* The user is now told if nothing was found to clean up, so they
don't wonder why the window is empty.
* The 'unsupported package' plugin is re-enabled.
Version 1.13.2, released 2009-08-21
* Versions 1.13.0 and 1.13.1 were not released publicly. This
section documents all changes since 1.12.1.
* The GTK user interface has been completely rewritten from scratch.
Thanks to Martin Albisetti for the general design. All bugs are belong
to Lars Wirzenius anyway.
* Adapted to new python-apt API. This means the code only works on
Ubuntu karmic, not earlier releases.
* The 'unsupported package' plugin is now not installed by default.
This should make it less likely people remove third-party packages
by default.
* The fstab plugin is not installed by default. It is no longer needed
in karmic, since the Linux kernel now uses relatime by default.
BUG FIXES:
* I18n changes to account for the fact that Computer Janitor's code
is in two places (itself, and Update Manager), and thus two po
files.
* I18n change to include plugin code as well. Thanks to Gabor Kelemen.
* Other i18n changes, in both the GTK and command line user interfaces.
* All instances of the word 'cruft' have been removed from the user
interface. It is not a proper English word.
* Typo fix in manual page. Thanks to Charlie_Smotherman.
Version 1.12.1, released 2009-03-04
* Change the description text at the top of the main window to be
clearer.
* Sort cruft in the GTK user interface in groups. This should
some day get user-visible headings, so it's clearer to the user.
BUG FIXES:
* In the GTK user interface, the button "Cleanup" now uses "u" as the
accelerator key, rather than "c", which confliced with the
accelerator key for the "Close" button. Fixes LP: #311557, reported
by hackel.
* Changed the label for the yes/no column in the GTK UI to be
"Remove/fix?" rather than just "Remove?", since not all things
are removals. Fixes LP: #300354, reported by Hernando Torque.
Version 1.12, released 2009-02-19
* New plugin: remove files left on the filesystem by the dpkg
conffile handling (*.dpkg-old and *.dpkg-new).
* Code base has been split so that the core parts (plugin management,
some of the plugins) now reside in the update-manager source tree.
This was done so that update-manager can use the computer-janitor
plugins, since there was no point in both programs having code to do
the same thing.
* When handling exceptions within the computer-janitor code, the
actual exception is now logged (at DEBUG level), to aid in
debugging the cause.
* Plugins can now declare that they should only be used under specific
conditions, rather than always. This is useful for plugins that are
used by update-manager.
Version 1.11, released 2009-02-03
* Renamed to Computer Janitor. The old name, Cruft Remover, was using
computer jargon (cruft) and gave the wrong impression (the program
does not just remove stuff).
* New plugin to compact the dpkg status file, from Michael Vogt.
Version 1.10.5, released 2009-01-16
* Upon startup, we now verify that the package lists look sane by
checking for the dash and gzip packages. If they're not available,
we assume something is badly wrong and we won't continue. This
makes is very unlikely that people will accidentally remove all
their packages because apt didn't have any package lists available.
* A further safeguard: the running kernel and related packages
won't ever be considered cruft anymore.
* It is now no longer enough to click on the "Cleanup" button to
initiate changes (pacxkage removals etc). Instead, a dialog window
will pop up and the user has to click on "OK" to continue.
* A .deb package's short description is now shown in the cruft
description. This will help users have an idea what it's all
about. (It's insufficient, but was all that there was time for
for the Ubuntu intrepid release schedule.)
* Columns in the cruft list now have titles, to make it easier
to understand what ticks mean (remove cruft? don't remove
cruft?).
* The program now reads whitelists in /etc/cruft-remover.d. Cruft
named in files in that directory will _not_ be removed.
* The plugin to remove packages apt considers autoremovable is now
enabled. It has been written ages ago, but not been enabled by
default until now.
* The application now uses the icon it has.
* Added Polish translation from Piotr Makowski.
* Added Finnish translation from Lars Wirzenius and Timo Jyrinki.
Version 1.10.4, released 2008-10-27
* Quick bug fixes for the Ubuntu 8.10 release. A proper release
of Cruft Remover will be made later.
Version 1.10.3, released 2008-10-14
* Bug fixes to how messages are logged, primarily to how character
sets are encoded. Found by James Westby.
Version 1.10.2, released 2008-10-14
IMPORTANT CHANGES:
* If setting up logging to syslog fails, don't crash. Thanks,
Ricardo Wurmus. (LP:#274970)
* The program now supports translations via gettext. A Finnish
translation was added. (LP:#279580)
* Handles errors by giving nice(r) error messages also in the
command line version. The GTK+ version already did that.
Thanks, Marco Rodrigues. (LP:#281657)
MINOR CHANGES:
* Wording in manual page fixed. Thanks, James Westby.
* Non-functional help button hidden. Thanks, Loïc Minier. (LP:#279577)
* Cruft description in the GTK+ user interface is cleared after cruft has
been cleaned up.
Version 1.10.1, released 2008-10-06
* Bugfix: Cruft in /etc/fstab now goes away from the GTK user interface
after a cleanup. Found by James Westby, thanks.
* cruft-remover-gtk now has a manual page.
* Bugfix: The GTK user interface now no longer imports the gtk and
gobject Python modules globally, but only when the code actually
runs, to prevent them from being loaded when running unit tests,
etc. (The GTK UI code is not unit tested.)
Version 1.10, released 2008-09-30
* Important fixes to how GTK+ and threads are used: now all GTK+
stuff happens only in the main thread. This turns out to be
easier to get right than using gtk.gdk.threads_enter and _leave
correctly in all situations, and also allows things like
gtk.Dialog.run to be used.
* Missing test module for the deb_plugin module written.
* SystemError exceptions (which are raised by python-apt when
there is a dpkg error) are now handled, and an error displayed
to the user. This fixes LP: #275034.
* The GTK user interface now displays the version number at startup.
The command line interface shows it with the new --version option.
Version 1.9, released 2008-09-26
* Bug fix: cruft-remover-gtk now correctly refreshes the list of
cruft after a bug has been fixed. (LP:274715)
* Bug fix: cruft-remover-gtk disables the "Cleanup" button if there
is nothing to clean up. (LP:274717)
Version 1.8, released 2008-09-23
* The GTK user interface now lets you select a row without toggling
the status of the cruft. This is useful, because the description
of each cruft is shown for the selected row only.
* Both the GTK and command line user interfaces now attempt to
be more helpful in describing what each piece of cruft is.
Version 1.7, released 2008-09-12
* First real public release, despite the version number. (If you have
seen any earlier versions, they were not real. Not real, I tell
you! Not real! They didn't exist! Really!)
