[Rpm-announce] RPM 4.16.0 beta1 released!

[Panu Matilainen]

The gap between alpha and beta was longer than usual because we were 
waiting for bug reports for the new sqlite backend from wider exposure 
in Fedora. After two months, we figured we can't wait forever. Zero 
filed bugs is almost certainly too good to be entirely true, but it's a 
not a bad situation either.

In the meanwhile, on top of the usual assorted fixes and minor 
enhancements, the highligh since the alpha is that rpm expressions 
gained native version comparison powers and new version parsing and 
comparison API was added to C and Python.

Download info and the usual, including updated details and examples on 
the new expression capabilities of 4.16 at:

Enjoy!
