Smart 0.50 is out!

I'd like to send special thanks to Eran Tromer and
Mauricio Teixeira for the work done in this release.

Download information is available at http://smartpm.org

MD5SUM: 7595df0259829fff64496f1c359a53cf (check it!)

Some of the changes in this version:

- Changed the transaction algorithm to make Smart able to survive
  massive whole-distribution upgrades with good results, and in
  acceptable timings, by Eran Tromer.

- Changed the way that priorities are considered by the transaction
  mechanism, so that tracking individual packages from arbitrary
  repositories is actually much more predictable and manageable,
  by Eran Tromer.

- Fixed leak that made packages never get deallocated when
  loading from a disk cache.

- New '--dump' option to install/remove/upgrade commands. It outputs
  the list of packages for requested transaction.

- Support for ETA during downloads in graphical and text modes,
  by Mauricio Teixeira.

- Swedish translation, by Daniel Nylander.

- Traditional Chinese translation, by swyear.

- Spanish translation, by Raúl Moratalla.

- Several bugs fixed.

- More tests.

Have fun!
