  • Improve handling of package locks, allowing to reset the status of its initial state (bsc#1199895)
  • Fix issues when receiving exceptions from curl_easy_cleanup (bsc#1201092)
  • Don't auto-flag kernel-firmware as 'reboot-needed' (bsc#1200993)
  • Remove Medianetwork and its dependent code. First reason for this is that MediaNetwork was just meant as a way to test the new CURL based downloaded. Second the Provide API is going to completely replace the current media backend.
