On July 10, Michael Vogt announced the immediate availability for download of the sixth maintenance release of the APT 1.0 utility for Debian and Ubuntu-based operating systems.

APT 1.0.6 brings various fixes, among which we can mention one for an issue with the Plural-Forms fields, several encoding problems, and issues with the format specifier order in translations and unfuzzy DocBook translations.

Furthermore, the application no longer cleans "/" in pkgArchiveCleaner and pkgAcquire::Clean, no longer parses invalid translation files, uses the Req.str() function in the debug output, and only displays DEB packages as upgradable if the CandidateVer option is equal with zero.

In addition, APT 1.0.6 can now handle moved mmap after a UniqFindTagWrite call, adds missing Language field and email addresses in PO files, improves the description about how to turn off the caches, and replaces echo with printf in testing framework.

The XSL parameter is now set through the command-line instead of via Sed, it can convert DebianDoc SGML to DocBook XML, purges fuzzy from file msgid header, and fills the Project-Id-Version field with the correct ID and version of a project.

Last but not least, the German and Danish translations have been updated. More details about APT 1.0.6 can be found in the official release announcement. Download APT 1.0.6 right now from Softpedia.
