+ <para>
+ <command>apt-changelog</command> downloads a package changelog and displays
+ it through <command>sensible-pager</command>. The server name and base
+ directory is defined in the <literal>APT::Changelog::Server</literal>
+ variable (e. g. <ulink>http://packages.debian.org/changelogs</ulink> for
+ Debian or <ulink>http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs</ulink> for
+ Ubuntu).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default it displays the changelog for the version that is installed.
+ However, you can specify a different version as the second argument; if you
+ specify <constant>candidate</constant>, it will fetch the changelog for the
+ latest available version of that package, i. e. the version which you would
+ get with <command>apt-get install <parameter>packagename</parameter></command>.
