The following is a loose translation of which was published in http://www.crismonblog.org/news/da-zypper-1.0.0-a-zypper-2-cosa-cambiera.html

And before someone comments, yes my WordPress theme is inspired by it ... I found the MAX!

As we know, is the imminent arrival of OpenSUSE 11.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 11.
Since the releases are closely linked to Zypper OpenSUSE, of course, the debut of 11.1 represents a very important step for the development of Zypper.
With the next release, version 1.0.1 of zypper is to help the team achieve an important goal after more than two years of hard work toward accomplishing goals related to new and amazing features that will be introduced.

Briefly, the package is an application Zypper typical command line for use OpenSUSE libzypp library.

Zypper repository allows you to manage, search packages, install, remove and upgrade packages and very mais.Pode be used as an application "autonomous" within a shell script. It is also a free software under the GPL.

The features that developers want to deploy the next version of Zypper, ie the second, we must remember that above all be concerned about improving Zypper incorporating existing improvements (and some developing) in libzypp library.

Among the points that will be in the next release include:

* Configuration file (. Zypperrc);
* Install Progress;
* A detailed summary of what is being installed;
* More options to manage the repositories;
Interface to the new capabilities of libzypp;
* And much more.

In fact the team will solve some bugs during the beta phase of SLE 11.1, trying to maintain full compatibility with version 10 of the SLE.

From here one more time, when developers turn their attention to Zypper 2, efforts will concentrate on improving the tool.
