slackcurrent

The version tokens were expanded to 4 tokens to solve problems with (official) packages with unwieldy names. When asked to create the upgrade list, Slackcurrent now tells you about some packages (local and remote) that will not be handled because of their name formats. It may be that the names are ok and you just found another bug, but there are some packages that really don't follow the package name conventions. You'll need to download and upgrade those packages manually.

A bug regarding how to check some packages with
version numbers like 1.2.99.905 was fixed. A unit
test file was added in /etc/slackcurrent.

The tool now ignores underline characters in version numbers to cope with packages with versions like rc3_2. A -df (--download-from) option was added, which allows you to check for the required local packages on some remote directory on your network.

AUTHORS and CHANGELOG files were added to the
package. A bug in the changelog option was fixed.
A bug with underline (_) characters in package
names was fixed. The underline character is
replaced by a zero to make the version string into
a number.

This release adds the -cl/--changelog option. Now you can check the latest i386 current changelog.
