As I've finally become a Debian developer, the Sourceforge aptitude pages are really mostly useless. In fact, I'd forgotten about them until someone pointed at them in a discussion and claimed that the project was dormant. This is untrue; I've been working heavily on a CVS branch called "ui-rewrite", which will eventually develop into a new aptitude version. I've also released several new versions, which I'll upload to the Sourceforge site in the near future; be aware, however, that the Debian archives are now the official location of aptitude releases, and I want to phase out the Sourceforge stuff. (I'll disable bugtracking momentarily, use bugs.debian.org, and probably only keep CVS, the mailing list, and maybe the homepage around)
The current "stable" release is 0.0.7.7. The CVS-rewrite branch will be
0.1.0, but although it finally compiles a program called "aptitude", it has a
ways to go until release or even prerelease (feverish hacking may produce a
result over Thanksgiving break, but don't count on it..)
