Version 1.1 has just been released. The main focus for this release was to support multiple languages. I received four official translations and used Google translate to provide eight others. If you are able and willing to provide or improve a translation please send me a private message. Please include your email address in the PM so I can respond to you.
Version 1.1
-Globalization with translations for Catalan, Danish, French, and German.
-Add and remove multiple updates when exporting or selecting for prerequisite and superseded.
-Support for approval deadlines.
-Show locally published updates regardless of vendor.
-Created updates by right clicking on Vendor or Product categories in the tree view.
-Approve updates for optional installation.
I have just finished work on enabling LUP to be translated to other languages. If you are able to help with a translation please contact me either via my sourceforge profile or in the help forums.
After almost exactly a year, here is version 1.0 which I'm listing as stable. There's still plenty to do but it appears that this is working for a lot of people and most crashes have been worked out.
This will hopefully be the last beta version; for the next I hope to label it as a stable release. To that end, unless it is trivial, no additional features will be added and bug fixes and UI quirks will be the sole focus.
After 7 versions and several months of successful publishing, I am calling this release Beta. There are still plenty of bugs, but the core functionality works.
*This is intended for internal use only to move between test and production environments. Distributing the exported files is very likely a violation of most user agreements.
