Changes:
This release has many improvements including failsafe upgrades, bitrot fixing, repeated testing against Ubuntu Linux and Debian Linux, the ability to permanently dismiss the "source packages" question, upgrades to the primary upgrade method (resolves dependencies), and the addition of dependencies that should have been in the control file, improvements to the way reloading the SSH daemon was handled (you won't get disconnected now when you change SSHD's config), and elimination of some hang bugs (bitrot).
