+Version 1.55 - 10 January 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
+
+- bug fix release
+- fix "not selecting foo-1 since the more recent foo-1 is installed" causing
+  urpmi to try to remove the package it wants to install (#28076)
+
+Version 1.54 - 9 January 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
+
+- if we have a choice between foo-1 and bar-1 and foo-2 is installed,
+  prefering bar-1 instead of foo-1
+  (otherwise we can hit: "the more recent foo-2 is installed, but does not
+  provide xxx whereas foo-1 does", cf bug #27991)
+- bar is needed, foo-1 does provide bar, installed foo-2 does not provide bar:
+  do not let the algorithm use foo-2 as if it also provides bar
+- allow understanding what ->resolve_requested is doing through a callback ($urpm->{debug_URPM})
+- cleanup some code in ->resolve_requested
+- make the documentation for ->is_arch_compat more clear
