+Version 0.5.3
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Released: 2009-10-05
+
+Notes:
+ - Quite a few method and property additions and clarifications to the spec,
+   with 7 methods now deprecated. We'll be supporting the deprecated methods all
+   through 0.5.x so client code does not have to worry until 0.6.x.
+ - Support for using idle bandwidth, disk and CPU in some circumstances.
+ - A new 'slapt' backend for slackware packages as a preview release.
+ - This is the first release to use the glib2 library internally. This makes the
+   client tools faster, more stable and more supportable. The headers are also
+   now used in the daemon and many of the synchronous methods are now async.
+   It is not yet recommended for external client programs use packagekit-glib2
+   as the API is not yet set in stone and may change. This is expected in 0.6.x.
+

+ - Add ElapsedTime and RemainingTime as properties on the Transaction interface (Richard Hughes)
+ - Mandate that ::Files() from DownloadPackages must be one per package, with the package_id set correctly (Richard Hughes)
