<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>.
