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.

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!
