Although 0.92 has been left out in the rain, the development team has
decided to hand it an umbrella.

One of the irritating things about earlier releases of 0.92 was that
it would download the same files, though they were already in the
packages folder, overwriting the old ones and wasting bandwidth.
That’s behind us now, thanks to modifications made by jaseen
(http://keryxproject.org/forums/index.php?page=members&id=7) that
cause Keryx to skip files that have already been downloaded.

Also, Keryx 0.92.2 downloads not only dependencies, but also
pre-dependencies and recommends, ensuring that you will get all the
packages you need to install your software.

One less visible improvement is the inclusion of the LocalRepo-Add.py
(creates local repositories) and VerifyChecksums.py (deletes corrupt
package files) scripts in the doc/ directory — both thanks to jaseen.

And finally, another small improvement allows Keryx to be used with
any Linux distro with APT installed — not just Ubuntu and Debian.

So, head on over to the Download Page
(http://keryxproject.org/download/) and get 0.92.2. For the hacking
types, the Keryx source code has been packaged for downloading. You
can get it at the Launchpad 0.92 download page
(https://edge.launchpad.net/keryx/stable/0.92).
