- implement transient notifications for GNOME Shell
- fix issue with PPA Restore function not working with spaces
- fixed bugs occuring for PPAs with "." or "+" characters in their names
- update-ppa: add support for updating PPAs having older release names
- update-ppa: fix bug with update-ppa not working on Linux Mint

- update-ppa: Support force update lists without adding the repository
- merge "PPA Remove", "List Packages" and "PPA Purge" into a new Manage PPAs dialog
- Manage PPAs: initial support for Launchpad PPAs (only Launchpad!) from /etc/apt/
- Manage PPAs: option to view/edit the .list source file
- Manage PPAs: option to update a single PPA
- list PPAs: display the packages for the Ubuntu version available in the .list file, not from the Ubuntu version the user is currently running (it might be different - e.g.: a package is not available in PPA X for Ubuntu Quantal, so an user running Ubuntu Quantal modifies the PPA source file to Ubuntu Precise)
- Manage PPAs: display the actual PPA name (e.g.: ppa:webupd8team
- use policykit (pkexec) instead of gksu / kdesu for Ubuntu versions newer than 11.04 (11.04 not included)
- install_package.py should handle errors better
