   1 apt (2.0~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
   2
   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.

  22 apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low
  23
  24   * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in
  25     /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

  31   * Already included in the last version but now with better documentation
  32     is the possibility to add/prefer different compression types while
  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.

  46
  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.

  54 apt (0.6.44) unstable; urgency=low
  55
  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.

  62 apt (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
  63
  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.
