v2.0-alpha2

[wstyres]

THIS IS AN ALPHA RELEASE. DO NOT INSTALL IT IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE REPORTING ISSUES OR WORKING WITH SYSTEM FILES.

New in this version:

• New default icon designed by alpha
• Re-add ability to ignore package updates (also changes the apt held state)
• Re-add ability to open .deb files in Zebra

Fixed in this version:

• Package depictions will now only show "Latest Version" if there is a newer version available
• Fixed a crash that would occur when checking a view's loaded state from a background thread
• Potentially fix crashes when readings a user's sources list or reading a particular field from packages

Reminders about alpha releases:

• For the time being, Zebra 2.0 can only be installed on devices with a Procursus bootstrap. This is a technical limitation and I hope to have it resolved by the time the full release of Zebra 2.0 comes out.
  • Jailbreaks with a Procursus bootstrap include: Chimera, Odyssey, Odysseyra1n, and Taurine.
  • There are no jailbreaks on iOS 11 that support Procursus
• Betas of Zebra are now installed as a separate package. This means that the beta version of Zebra can be installed alongside of the stable version. This also means that you will have to downgrade the main Zebra package to 1.1.18 in order to install the Zebra 2.0 beta. This was done to ensure that the user still has a stable package manager while trying out the Zebra beta.
  • If you are experiencing issues after downgrading to Zebra 1.1.18 from the 1.2 betas you will have to delete your database file that is located at /var/mobile/Library/Application Support/xyz.willy.zebra/zebra.db and reopen Zebra.
• Zebra 2.0 uses merged sources list and will contain the same sources that other package managers like Cydia and Sileo use. If you have extra sources installed exclusively into Zebra 1.x, there is a migration option available in the add source menu.
• This is an alpha not a beta. It may be prone to crashing in which case I'm relying on testers to be able to report crashes to me and very specific reproduction steps.
• I will also be closing a lot of old issues that applied to the 1.2 betas because they no longer apply. If they still apply in the 2.0 alpha please reopen your issue.
