---|
48 | <kojima@conectiva.com.br>. His last official release was 0.16. Michael |
---|
49 | Vogt <mvo@debian.org> took over his CVS version, that already included a |
---|
50 | nearly complete port to Gtk+. Michael completed the port and added new |
---|
51 | features. See the \fINEWS\fR file for the user visible changes from |
---|
52 | that point on. Conectiva is still involved in the development of |
---|
53 | synaptic. Gustavo Niemeyer <niemeyer@conectiva.com> is doing a |
---|
54 | great deal of work. |
