+apt (1.4~beta1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+
+ Support for GPG signatures using the SHA1 or RIPE-MD/160 hash
+ algorithms has been disabled. Repositories using Release files
+ signed in such a way will stop working. This change has been made
+ due to security considerations, especially with regards to possible
+ further breakthroughs in SHA1 breaking during the lifetime
+ of this APT release series.
+
+ It is possible (but STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST) to revert to the previous
+ behaviour by setting the options
+ APT::Hashes::SHA1::Weak "yes";
+ APT::Hashes::RIPE-MD/160::Weak "yes";
+ Note that setting these options only affects the verification of the overall
+ repository signature.
