+apt (0.7.24) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Already included in the last version but now with better documentation
+    is the possibility to add/prefer different compression types while
+    downloading archive informations, which can decrease the time needed for
+    update on slow machines. See apt.conf (5) manpage for details.
+  * APT manages his manpage translations now with po4a, thanks to Nicolas
+    François and Kurasawa Nozomu, who also provide the ja translation.
+    Thanks to Christian Perrier we have already a fr translation and
+    a few more are hopefully added in the near future.
+  * This version also introduces some _experimental_ configuration options
+    to make more aggressive use of dpkg's triggers. If you want to help
+    testing these _experimental_ options see apt.conf (5) manpage.

+apt (0.7.23) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Code that determines which proxy to use was changed. Now
+    'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::<host>]' options have the highest priority,
+    and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options
+    mentioned above are not specified.

+apt (0.6.44) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH. 
+    If you use a database created by an older version of apt, delete 
+    it and allow it to be recreated the next time.

+
+apt (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB version 4.2.  If used with a
+    database created by an older version of apt, an attempt will be made
+    to upgrade the database, but this may not work in all cases.  If your
+    database is not automatically upgraded, delete it and allow it to be
+    recreated the next time.
