Jacman v0.3 released
Woo hoo! ‘About time’, I hear you cry! Or maybe not. Anyway, Jacman v0.3 is here. You’ll find:
- Multilingual supprt via a language menu (Only English and Polish at the moment - more to follow).
- Experimental system tray access to Jacman.
- Proper preferences dialog to set custom Jacman settings.
- Improved console view to see what pacman’s up to.
- ‘pacman-optimize’ button on the main screen.
- Plus many other little tweaks.
Special thanks to the Jacman team for their contributions (including the translators).
More info can be found on the Jacman Project page. (See the Readme.txt too.)

Whoa! What’s this?! A gooey pacman?
ohhhhhHHHH maaAaAaaaaAH GaAAaAAAAAAAWD!
Are you sure you got approval from the CLI Arch gods first, roo? That is one mighty fine looking front end to pacman. I bet you got some slick database backend there too. Baby roo got back!
Man, check out the slick asparagus looking yellow icon up there too! Wowzers! Either that’s from the video game of same name, or your plugin to the weather channel is stuck on sunny 9 AM.
I think it goes without saying that Mr. Andrews is by far and away the studliest linux developer this side of the Atlantic. I for one am not worthy to smell your shoes, much less polish them. You, sir, are a genious!
Hail roo!

Why thank you, kind sir! I must confess, I don’t actually use Jacman - I’m happy with pacman itself. I was hoping to help the newbies. No database backend, I’m afrad, even though I’ve been tempted several times due to the less-than-optimal package DB that pacman uses.
Hey - no dissin’ the logo, I made that with my own fair hands (using Inkscape, of course).

It looks really slick, roo. One thing I did notice about your icon though. I don’t know how to use or even heard of Inkscape for that matter, but I use the Gimpster for all my pixel loving needs. I see (in the top left corner) that your icon lacks transparency. I can fix that for you if you want. Just shoot me the .png (or whatever) and I’ll hook ya up bro.
Looks great overall. Good simple layout. Good show ‘ole boy! Good show…
