Cross-platform software search
Uses less memory and improves threading (requires forks Perl module).
Update the documentation.
Fetch multiple suites at once for Debian/Ubuntu.
Improved options parsing.
Add a config file to set desired distros/releases.
Fixed support for Gentoo, Slackware, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Arch, AUR, Fedora, Fink, openSUSE, Mandriva and Cygwin.
fixed AUR module
fixed Mandriva module
fixed a problem with openBSD URL construction
added new Slackware module to replace the previous one which queried a now-defunct (third party) web interface
code cleanup
implemented functionality suggested by Guillaume Delacour and Steve Cotton
updated to current version numbers of Ubuntu, Mandriva, openSUSE, OpenBSD, Fedora, Slackware (13.1 not 13.37 as we're waiting on linuxpackages.net to update their search interface)
NB: Fedora and openSUSE seem currently not to be working; Mandriva shows only first ten results returned by sophie.zarb.org
Cygwin module added
other modules updated
repository column widened to accommodate huge openSUSE repo strings
other minor changes and fixes
columns have been made wider to accommodate Debian's often excessively long version strings
netbsd, debian and ubuntu now report sizes
netbsd now reports dates
"--shallow" suppresses these fetches, which can be desirable as they are time-consuming and exert server load
all of these calls are threaded by default, can be disabled by "--no-threads" (same procedure as every year, James)
fixed fedora size formatting bug
now warns if distros specified are not recognised (thanks S Cotton for the bug report)
now honours proxies (thanks Thibaut Varene for the bug report, Jonathan Wiltshire for pointing out the fix)
Mandriva module added (thanks Sylvestre Ledru for pointing out the server)
netbsd module now queries pkgsrc.se, shows more details, is faster
Miscellaneous bugfixes
Also using the old combos subroutine again for some repositories, is slower
Added manpages in English and German, updated install script to install manpages to /usr/share/man
Added back Gentoo
Added back Fedora
Changed combos subroutine after profiling showed it to be slow
Including Debian "testing" repositories since we've been including Sourcemage's "test" for a while
Officially no more dependency on wget (for now, at least)
Distributions can now be specified on commandline, using the "-d Distribution1,Distribution2" option; the recognised strings are archlinux, debian, fink, freebsd, macports, netbsd, openbsd, opensuse, slackware, sourcemage, ubuntu
Some unrelated string changes
Added switch for unthreaded runs.
Changed string "DarwinPorts" to "MacPorts"
Added openSUSE module
Fixed several modules; all now working except Gentoo (RIP, web interface was removed by Gentoo Project) and Fedora
