apt-offline 1.8.0

https://www.researchut.com/blog/apt-offline-180

I am pleased to announce the release of apt-offline, version 1.8.0. This release is mainly a forward port of apt-offline to Python 3 and PyQt5. There are some glitches related to Python 3 and PyQt5, but overall the CLI interface works fine. Other than the porting, there's also an important bug fixed, related to memory leak when using the MIME library. And then there's some updates to the documentation (user examples) based on feedback from users.

NOTE: .deb packages are provided in this release because of Debian Stretch freeze. Otherwise, .deb packages should always be preferred from the distribution channel.

apt-offline 1.7.2 released

Release announcement: https://www.researchut.com/blog/apt-offline-172

apt-offline v1.7.1 released

I am happy to mention the release of apt-offline, version 1.7.1.

https://www.researchut.com/blog/apt-offline-171

This release includes many bug fixes, code cleanups and better integration.

Integration with PolicyKit
Better integration with apt gpg keyring
Resilient to failures when a sub-task errors out
New Feature: Changelog
This release adds the ability to deal with package changelogs ('set' command option: --generate-changelog) based on what is installed, extract changelog (Currently support with python-apt only) from downloaded packages and display them during installation ('install' command opiton: --skip-changelog, if you want to skip display of changelog)
New Option: --apt-backend
Users can now opt to choose an apt backend of their choice. Currently support: apt, apt-get (default) and python-apt

Hopefully, there will be one more release, before the release to Stretch.
