DNF 2.0 Is In Development On Fedora

Honza Silhan confirmed at the end of last week that DNF 1.1.10 is the last version of DNF-1 with the 1.x version already being unmaintained. DNF-2 is now in development and is landing in the Fedora Rawhide development repository. DNF-2 will bring new features and bug-fixes. One of the big underlying changes is making use of libdnf rather than Hawkey/libhif.
As outlined via the tentative documentation, the DNF history command transaction specifier has changed, some Yum configuration options have been restored, the --with-optional CLI argument is now supported, and there are Python API changes.
It's looking like DNF-2 will be aimed for Fedora 26. More early discussions over DNF-2 can be found via this mailing list thread.
