  - Increased WimpSlot so PackMan will start on RISC OS 4.
  - Added environment for initial internal install of PackMan.
  - Made SharedUnixLibrary a recommendation instead of a dependency for PackMan to stop it trying to uninstall PackMan on first run.

    - Fixed arm environment detection for 26 bit machines.
    - Added arm32 environment support.
    - Fixed reset of environment after an error in installing (this showed as blank lines in the list).
    - Added version to package database to allow it to be updated when loaded if necessary.
    - Fixed replacing a file with one or more files in a subdirectory with the same name.
- 0.9.4 Beta - March 2020
  - Fixed package list displaying incorrect status/information when the environment is different in a new version of a package.
  - Fixed update lists downloading nothing if the Sources file had never been changed by the user. E.g. This meant the package list was not updating on a fresh install.
  - Fixed non-packaged modules being overwritten when their version was greater than the package version.
  - Fixed the times that were displayed in the Log.
- 0.9.3 Beta - March 2020
  - Fix PackMan disappearing from the package list after updating from an earlier version. This bug would also affect any other package that was installed with a previous version, but had the new environment field set.
- 0.9.2 Beta - January 2020
  - Support for the new environment/modules field in packages to show only the packages that are suitable for the machine PackMan is running on.
  - Packages can now have a web homepage where more information on them can be found. PackMan will display this page and has a button to allow it to be launched.

  - Recompiled with latest GCCSDK compiler so it will run on a RaspberryPi 3.
  - On initial setup, iconbar icon is not shown until !Packages is installed and a "Quit" button on the dialogue allows PackMan to be exited. Previously there was no way to exit PackMan until !Packages was installed.
  - Fixed bug with Upgrade All during the first run of PackMan to set it up. If there was a newer version of PackMan online, the Upgrade All option from the Update Lists dialogue would lead to the Install window with an invalid Package Name. Also, the Upgrade All option from the menu would say there were no upgrades.

  - Save Position added to main window to remember location for next time a main window is shown
  - Split filter in toolbar into two. One for the status and one for the section.
  - Fixed empty Sources Window. The Sources Windows was always looking for the users list of sources, and so did not display the default sources used until the user modified the list. As the list was empty clicking save would set PackMan to use an empty list of sources from then on.
  - Fixed creating of PackMan choices directory for save of the "WhatsNew" list
  - Fixed prompt for initial update lists showing both buttons as default
  - File conflicts are no longer case sensitive so the case of a file in the package can change without causing a conflict.
