Hello World,

I'm pleased to announce apt-offline version 0.9.5.

Release Highlights
* Support for Source Package downloads along with their Build Dependencies
* Many bug fixes.

apt-offline is an Offline APT Package Manager for APT based systems, i.e. mostly 
Debian and Debian derived distributions.
apt-offline can fully update/upgrade your disconnected Debian box without the 
need of connecting it to the network.

* It works by generating a signature of the disconnected box.
* You carry the signature to a net connected box running anything 
(Windows/Linux/Mac)
* apt-offline downloads all data as per the signature. This includes apt 
database, packages, bug reports. The data can be bundled to a single file to 
carry it easily on a USB stick
* The bundle file is all that is needed on the disconnected Debian box. Apt on 
this box will feel like everything was downloaded the traditional (apt-get 
update/upgrade) way.


apt-offline is available at [1] and the latest 0.9.5 release can be downloaded
