   2
   3   Support for GPG signatures using the SHA1 or RIPE-MD/160 hash
   4   algorithms has been disabled. Repositories using Release files
   5   signed in such a way will stop working. This change has been made
   6   due to security considerations, especially with regards to possible
   7   further breakthroughs in SHA1 breaking during the lifetime
   8   of this APT release series.
   9
  10   It is possible (but STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST) to revert to the previous
  11   behaviour by setting the options
  12     APT::Hashes::SHA1::Weak "yes";
  13     APT::Hashes::RIPE-MD/160::Weak "yes";
  14   Note that setting these options only affects the verification of the overall
  15   repository signature.

  21   [ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
  22   After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
  23   the corresponding .deb package files will be
  24   removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
  25
  26   This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
  27     "Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
  28
  29   # echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
  30       > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
  31
  32   Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
  33   downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
  34   are installed. To enable the behavior for other tools, you can set
  35   "APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to false.
  36
  37   [ Compressed indices ]
  38   If you use Acquire::gzipIndexes, or any other compressed index targets,
  39   those will now be compressed with the fastest supported algorithm,
  40   currently lz4.

  45
  46   A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
  47   pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
  48
  49   This might break existing corner cases of pinning, if they use multiple
  50   pins involving the same package name or patterns matching the same
  51   package name, but should overall lead to pinning that actually works
  52   as intended and documented.

  57
  58   * apt-get install pkg/experimental will now not only switch the
  59     candidate of package pkg to the version from the release experimental
  60     but also of all dependencies of pkg if the current candidate can't
  61     satisfy a versioned dependency.

  65 apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low
  66
  67   * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in
  68     /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

  72 apt (0.7.24) unstable; urgency=low
  73
  74   * Already included in the last version but now with better documentation
  75     is the possibility to add/prefer different compression types while
  76     downloading archive information, which can decrease the time needed for
  77     update on slow machines. See apt.conf (5) manpage for details.
  78   * APT manages his manpage translations now with po4a, thanks to Nicolas
  79     François and Kurasawa Nozomu, who also provide the ja translation.
  80     Thanks to Christian Perrier we have already a fr translation and
  81     a few more are hopefully added in the near future.
  82   * This version also introduces some _experimental_ configuration options
  83     to make more aggressive use of dpkg's triggers. If you want to help
  84     testing these _experimental_ options see apt.conf (5) manpage.

  89
  90   * Code that determines which proxy to use was changed. Now
  91     'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::<host>]' options have the highest priority,
  92     and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options
  93     mentioned above are not specified.

  98
  99   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH.
 100     If you use a database created by an older version of apt, delete
 101     it and allow it to be recreated the next time.

 105 apt (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
 106
 107   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB version 4.2.  If used with a
 108     database created by an older version of apt, an attempt will be made
 109     to upgrade the database, but this may not work in all cases.  If your
 110     database is not automatically upgraded, delete it and allow it to be
 111     recreated the next time.
