Rally is a software component with a user interface which allows you to install, update, and remove packages on RPM based operating systems. Primary functions (downloading software packages from network repositories and their installation) may be performed in parallel, giving a vast performance boost in many typical situations. The user interface is split into two independent parts: a graphical one and a command line utility. The graphical interface contains package searching and category browsing functions. Rally assumes the Fedora project as a reference platform.

Changes:
A "timeout" parameter was added to specify the maximum waiting time for the downloader. Three situations were fixed which could lead to a crash in the GUI. CLI enhancements: the actualization command was implemented (install or update); the ability to enable and disable repositories was added; the (-I) modifier was added to disable the network scanning before generating a report. The "noenforce" parameter was added, which allows you to switch SELinux to the Permissive mode automatically. Various visual improvements were made in the GUI.
