Listaller 0.2-alpha released
Written for Listaller by Matthias Klumpp on 2009-04-14
We are proud to announce the release of Listaller 0.2-alpha 9 months after the first Listaller experimental release.
Listaller is now based on PackageKit 0.4.4 which makes the applications compatible to many more package management systems.
Listaller implements the IPS0.8/IPK0.8 specifications which make it possible for users to install software in their home directory, to run installations in testmode and to use the fast update function.
Developers can use the improved liCreator graphical wizard to create setup packages for applications. They also can use the 'lipa' tool to generate packages, create update sources and to make an "Linux compatible" button for the package.
This button shows the Linux distribution compatibilitity for the generated package in an nice way so that end-users can easily recognize if the application will work on their distribution.
We also fixed an large amount of bugs in the current release. Listaller was tested on more Linux distributions and got new translations from Launchpad.
The Qt4-build of Listaller 0.2-a is experimental at time, we have to test and to publish it later.
The new release can be downloaded via Launchpad PPA, openSUSE Build Service or Sourceforge.
Just checkout the "Get Listaller" page at our website. It may take some time until all builds are ready.
Have fun with the new version and please report bugs to our bugtracker!

We're proud to announce the release date of the first alpha version of Listaller's 0.2a series.
We're going to release the new version on tuesday, the 14.04.2009.
The new version will contain many new features and will bring more stability and an more useful user interface. It also has the new IPK0.8/IPS0.8 specifications implemented and is completely based on PackageKit 0.4.4.
The next two weeks we're fixing all bugs we find in the code so that you will get an more stable release - although it's an alpha-release.
Why Listaller?
Written for Listaller by Matthias Klumpp on 2009-03-13
At time we recieve many e-mails from users, other projects and developers who ask all the same question "Why should we use Listaller?" I have summarised the most important reasons on the following new page: http://
The page can be improved later, e.g. with example images and graphics, but at time it explains the reasons for using Listaller in a good and short way.
Translation for 0.2.0x-b ready

The translation template for the upcoming Listaller release is now available. You can translate the applications in Launchpad. Every finished translation will be added to the new release.
Listaller getIPK beta now online
Written for Listaller by Matthias Klumpp on 2009-02-27
I enabled the getIPK service again. The service provides IPK-packages and a web-frontend for the Listaller catalogue.
At time there are only a few packages to download but I think their count will raise with every month.
For nearly every package you find the new "Linux compatible button" on the download page. This information-box shows for which distributions the package was built.
The getIPK service is still beta, the IPK packages are IPK0.8-setups which means that they are only compatible with the upcoming Listaller 0.2.00b.
