Sbopkg 0.XX.X released.  This version contains the following fixes and
enhancements:

  * Commit a patch that adds a new sbopkg.conf configuration variable,
    QUEUEDIR, where users can define where saved queues are stored; also, when
    the user wants to load a saved queue, show a list of available saved
    queues; thanks to slakmagik for the patch.
  * Add ability to search for keywords in the README files using regular
    expressions; thanks to slakmagik for the original patch and implementation
    and thanks to both slakmagik and Mauro Giachero for cleaning it up and
    addressing minor issues before the commit.
  * Commit a cleanup/misc patch from slakmagik that removes some useless code
    and fixes some style issues; thanks to slakmagik for the patch.
  * Allow user to interrupt/abort the update progressbar by pressing ESC;
    thanks to Mauro Giachero for the feature.
  * Assorted menu navigation fixes, and document -p switch in sbopkg(8) man
    page; thanks to Mauro Giachero for these improvements.
  * Add ability to view a diff of an edited .info or SlackBuild file before
    choosing which one to use; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion and
    thanks to Mauro Giachero for helping debug/improve my original
    implemenation.
  * Add ability to view more files in each application's folder, i.e.
    doinst.sh, or *.desktop files; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion
    and thanks to slakmagik for the patch implementing this feature.
  * Rework the check for root:root permissions when installing packages; now,
    it will display the output of ls -l <packagename> and ask if the user
    wishes to install or abort, rather than only aborting.
  * Allow the usage of the -d, -f and -v command-line options in dialog mode,
    and spit an error message when the command line contains unrecognized
    tokens.
  * Implement a workaround so that the dialog interface now works with
    rxvt-based terminals. Thanks to Phillip Warner for raising the issue and
    thanks to Mauro Giachero for working on the implementation.
  * Include a French translation of the two sbopkg man pages.  For now, these
    man pages will be included in the /doc directory until I have time to
    figure out whether they can be automatically installed in place of the
    English ones depending on a locale setting.  In any event, I would like to
    extend my thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux for providing this first
    translation for sbopkg.  I am sure folks will appreciate the work she put
    into it.  If anyone else wants to follow her lead and provide some other
    translations, I would be happy to include them.  Thanks Marie-Claude!
