* apt-ftparchive might write corrupt Release files (LP: #46439)
* Apply --important option to apt-cache depends (LP: #16947) * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc: - Added fallback to uncompressed 'Packages' if neither 'bz2' nor 'gz' available. (Closes: #409284) * apt-pkg/algorithm.cc: - Strip username and password from source URL in error message. (Closes: #425150) * Fix typos: - apt-pkg/depcache.cc * Fix compilation warnings: - apt-pkg/acquire.cc - apt-pkg/versionmatch.cc * Compilation fixes and portability improvement for compiling APT against non-GNU libc (thanks to Martin Koeppe, closes: #392063): - buildlib/apti18n.h.in: + textdomain() and bindtextdomain() must not be visible when --disable-nls - buildlib/inttypes.h.in: undefine standard int*_t types - Append INTLLIBS to SLIBS: + cmdline/makefile + ftparchive/makefile + methods/makefile * doc/apt.conf.5.xml: - clarify whether configuration items of apt.conf are case-sensitive (thanks to Vincent McIntyre, closes: #345901) * doc/apt-cache.8.xml: - search command uses POSIX regex, and searches for virtual packages too (closes: #277536) * doc/offline.sgml: clarify remote and target hosts (thanks to Nikolaus Schulz, closes: #175940) * Fix several typos in docs, translations and debian/changelog (thanks to timeless, Nicolas Bonifas and Josh Triplett, closes: #368665, #298821, #411532, #431636, #461458) * Document apt-key finger and adv commands (thanks to Stefan Schmidt, closes: #350575) * Better documentation for apt-get --option (thanks to Tomas Pospisek, closes: #386579) * Retitle the apt-mark.8 manpage (thanks to Justin Pryzby, closes: #471276) * Better documentation on using both APT::Default-Release and /etc/apt/preferences (thanks to Ingo Saitz, closes: #145575) * doc/apt-cache.8.xml: - add missing citerefentry * Upload to unstable * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc: - Store the trigger state descriptions in a way that does not break the ABI. The approach taken makes the search for a string O(n) rather than O(lg(n)), but since n == 4, I do not consider this a major concern. If it becomes a concern, we can sort the static array and use std::equal_range(). (Closes: #499322) * apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc: - do not add multiple identical descriptions for the same language (closes: #400768) * Catalan updated. Closes: #499462 * Fix typo in cron.daily script. Closes: #486179 * Traditional Chinese updated. Closes: #488526 * German corrected and completed. Closes: #490532, #480002, #498018 * French completed * Bulgarian updated.

which receives a higher priority than other distributions do by default.
The target release can be set on the <command>apt-get</command> command
line or in the APT configuration file <filename>/etc/apt/apt.conf</filename>.
+Note that this has precedence over any general priority you set in the
