3 A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
4 pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
5
6 This might break existing corner cases of pinning, if they use multiple
7 pins involving the same package name or patterns matching the same
8 package name, but should overall lead to pinning that actually works
9 as intended and documented.

15 * apt-get install pkg/experimental will now not only switch the
16 candidate of package pkg to the version from the release experimental
17 but also of all dependencies of pkg if the current candidate can't
18 satisfy a versioned dependency.

49012e99 31 * Already included in the last version but now with better documentation
b98f40fa 32 is the possibility to add/prefer different compression types while
daee881b 33 downloading archive information, which can decrease the time needed for

34 update on slow machines. See apt.conf (5) manpage for details.
35 * APT manages his manpage translations now with po4a, thanks to Nicolas
36 François and Kurasawa Nozomu, who also provide the ja translation.
37 Thanks to Christian Perrier we have already a fr translation and
38 a few more are hopefully added in the near future.
39 * This version also introduces some _experimental_ configuration options
40 to make more aggressive use of dpkg's triggers. If you want to help
41 testing these _experimental_ options see apt.conf (5) manpage.

47 * Code that determines which proxy to use was changed. Now
48 'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::<host>]' options have the highest priority,
49 and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options
50 mentioned above are not specified.

56 * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH.
57 If you use a database created by an older version of apt, delete
58 it and allow it to be recreated the next time.

64 * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB version 4.2. If used with a
65 database created by an older version of apt, an attempt will be made
66 to upgrade the database, but this may not work in all cases. If your
67 database is not automatically upgraded, delete it and allow it to be
68 recreated the next time.
