We've hit a very exciting milestone in Conary development. The code has matured to the point of being largely feature complete. You might have noticed the rapid approach of a non-zero initial digit in Conary's version number. We just released 0.92 this week.

For the next few weeks, we're going to be working on stability and performance. The only significant outstanding issue is redirect handling.

Currently when you create a redirect in Conary, it's from one node in the tree to another node. We wanted to have the behavior to be explicit and versioned. It turns out that this is very inconvenient. Most of the time, you want a redirect to give you the latest version of the trove to which you're being redirected.
Of course, if there's some cool new feature you would like to contribute to Conary, we're still accepting patches. Development will continue in the HEAD Conary mercurial repository.
