Version 12:

Incompatible with clients using versions 1-12

Changes:

    This versions adds local_search and remote_search to the api and removes

    those functions from pkg.client.image.

Version 11:

Changes:

   This version changes all parameter names and property names from 'authority'

   to 'publisher'.  For example, parameters named 'auths' were changed to

   'pubs'; parameters named 'authent' were changed to 'pubent' and so forth.

   In addition, the following new api functions were added to ImageInterface:

        def add_publisher(self, pub, refresh_allowed=True):

Version 10:

Changes:

    This version changes the interface to info. It removes the action info

    and licenses flag and replaces them with a set of options to allow

    the caller control over which information is retrieved.

Version 9:

Compatible with clients using versions 1-8

Changes:

    This version adds an optional argument to plan_update_all to allow the

    specification of a name for the clone of the BE which is made. It also

    exposes check_be_name as part of the api.

Version 8:

Compatible with clients using versions 1-7

Changes:

    This version introduces InvalidDepotResponseException.  The

    exception is thrown when operations that refresh the catalog

    discover that the server is not a pkg depot.  Clients of the api

    should catch this exception and respond appropriately.

Version 7:

Compatible with clients using versions 1-6

Changes:

    Ignore the pkg_client_name parameter passed to api.ImageInterface() if

    pkg.client.global_settings.client_name isn't None.  This latter object

    is now the preferred way to set the client name, and the

    pkg_client_name parameter may be ignored or removed in the future.

Version 6:

Compatible with clients using versions 1-5

Changes:

Adds a new field to PackageInfo, category_info_list, which is a list of 

     PackageCategory objects. These objects contain the scheme and category

     information for packages.

Version 5:

Compatible with clients using versions 1-4 as long as they have a generic

APIException. This is the case for PackageManager and UpdateManaget.

Changes:

plan_install and plan_update_all can now raise PermissionsException.

Version 4:

Compatible with clients using versions 1, 2, and 3

Changes:

Modifies where certain progress tracking calls were made, calling 

    evaluate_start much sooner.

Adds refresh tracking to progress.py. This allows for active feedback when

    the catalogs of authorities are being refreshed.

Version 3:

Compatible with clients using Versions 1 and 2

Changes:

Adds an optional argument to info which determines whether detailed information

    about actions will be returned

Adds the following new fields to PackageInfo objects: links, hardlinks,

    files, dirs, dependencies

Version 2:

Compatible with clients using Version 1

Changes:

Adds the optional argument update_index to plan_install, plan_uninstall, and 

    plan_update_all. When the argument is false, no automatic update to the

    index occurs. By default, the argument is true.

Version 1:

Incompatible with clients using Version 0

Changes:

plan_install now returns a tuple of whether there is anything to do and 

    a catalog refresh exception, if one was caught. In this, it mirrors the

    first and third return values from plan_update_all.

Version 0:
