Rally is a fast GuiLoader-based front end for RPM. It provides RPM package management functionality via an intuitive tree-less graphical interface. Users are able to browse available repositories, search for packages, and perform updates, installations, and removals. Rally employs Parallel Installer, which downloads and updates packages simultaneously, potentially reaching a vast performance boost. Rally is a part of the Crow Designer project, and was started as a sample GuiLoader-based application.

Changes:
A failure in %posttrans scripts (passing "/" to rpmtsSetRootDir) has been fixed. An error where the application refused to run second time has been fixed with a workaround for an OS-level file unlocking bug on some setups. Downloader timeouts have been decreased to 90 seconds. Security context patterns (rpmtsSetREContext) are initialized for compatibility. A "Known Problems" section has been added to the README file.
