By waiting for the next version :)

It shows them if you select the package filter "All packages (ADVANCED)". Some of them might not get upgraded (even if they are shown upgradeable) if apt-get decides so.

Is it possible to also show the changelog of a package (if available)?

Well, packages have changelogs on-site, so in theory an option could be added.

I thought of that before, but it appears the changelogs get purged when the packages are installed on the device. They'd have to be queried separately.

sorry if i missed it but why is the diablo version stuck at 2.0?

I did not upload this to diablo autobuilder, somebody else did. I have no plans supporting this on diablo.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager

What will happen if FAppMan finds an update for itself and wants to install it? Is it safe to do it?

From the package management point of view it works and should be safe. It's however still in extras-devel and I promise nothing :)

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager

A proposal would be to add an export feature. Could be pretty easy i think. Just make a log of the output of "dpkg -l" or something. Then if you need to reflash.. just load the list and install. ;)

I think the build-in Backup application already does this.

I am not sure but what i heard it only saves a list. It will not install the programs for you.

It adds an option into App Manager to re-install some/all of the applications you had installed at the time of the backup.
