apt (1.5~alpha4) experimental; urgency=medium
All known issues in the new https method have been fixed, including
support for https:// proxies and the CONNECT method. Therefore, the
the http method is now the default for https access.
The apt-transport-https package is deprecated, and installs a 'curl' method
now that can be used as a fallback with curl+https URLs, or by setting
Dir::Bin::Methods::https to "curl".

apt (1.5~alpha1) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Changes to unauthenticated repositories ]
The security exception for apt-get to only raise warnings if it encounters
unauthenticated repositories in the "update" command is gone now, so that it
will raise errors just like apt and all other apt-based front-ends do since
at least apt version 1.3.
It is possible (but STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST) to revert to the previous
behaviour of apt-get by setting the option
Binary::apt-get::Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "true";
See apt-secure(8) manpage for configuration details.
[ Experimental https support in http ]
The http method will eventually replace the curl-based https method, but for
now, this is an opt-in experiment that can be enabled by setting
Dir::Bin::Methods::https to "http". Known issues:
- We do not support HTTPS proxies yet
- We do not support proxying HTTPS connections yet (CONNECT)
- IssuerCert and SslForceVersion are unsupported
TLS code paths can be disabled by setting Acquire::AllowTLS to "false".
[ Release Info Changes ]
If values like Origin, Label, and Codename change in a Release file,
update fails, or asks a user (if interactive). Various
--allow-releaseinfo-change are provided for non-interactive use.

apt (1.4.2) unstable; urgency=medium
If periodic updates and unattended upgrades are enabled, the start of
periodic updates are now distributed over 24 hour intervals (as in 1.2
to 1.4), whereas starting unattended-upgrade has been restricted to a
time between 6 and 7 am. This only affects systems using systemd, other
systems still use the classical hourly cron job.
-- Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org> Thu, 04 May 2017 22:54:02 +0200
apt (1.4~beta1) unstable; 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.

apt (1.2~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
the corresponding .deb package files will be
removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
"Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
# echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
are installed. To enable the behavior for other tools, you can set
"APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to false.
[ Compressed indices ]
If you use Acquire::gzipIndexes, or any other compressed index targets,
those will now be compressed with the fastest supported algorithm,
currently lz4.

apt (1.1~exp9) experimental; urgency=medium
A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
This might break existing corner cases of pinning, if they use multiple
pins involving the same package name or patterns matching the same
package name, but should overall lead to pinning that actually works
as intended and documented.
-- Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org> Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:45:17 +0200
apt (0.8.11) unstable; urgency=low
* apt-get install pkg/experimental will now not only switch the
candidate of package pkg to the version from the release experimental
but also of all dependencies of pkg if the current candidate can't
satisfy a versioned dependency.
-- David Kalnischkies <kalnischkies@gmail.com> Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:09:12 +0100
apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low
* apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in
/etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.
-- Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org> Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:34:16 +0100
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 information, 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.
-- David Kalnischkies <kalnischkies@gmail.com> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:13:16 +0200
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.
-- Eugene V. Lyubimkin <jackyf.devel@gmail.com> Thu, 19 Aug 2009 11:26:16 +0200
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.
-- Michael Vogt <mvo@debian.org> Wed, 26 Apr 2006 12:57:53 +0200
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.
