   3   After packages are successfully installed by apt(1),
   4   the corresponding .deb package files will be
   5   removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
   6
   7   This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
   8     "APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
   9
  10   # echo 'APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
  11       > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
  12
  13   Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
  14   downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
  15   are installed.

  21   A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
  22   pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
  23
  24   This might break existing corner cases of pinning, if they use multiple
  25   pins involving the same package name or patterns matching the same
  26   package name, but should overall lead to pinning that actually works
  27   as intended and documented.

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

  42   * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in
  43     /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

  49   * Already included in the last version but now with better documentation
  50     is the possibility to add/prefer different compression types while
  51     downloading archive information, which can decrease the time needed for
  52     update on slow machines. See apt.conf (5) manpage for details.
  53   * APT manages his manpage translations now with po4a, thanks to Nicolas
  54     François and Kurasawa Nozomu, who also provide the ja translation.
  55     Thanks to Christian Perrier we have already a fr translation and
  56     a few more are hopefully added in the near future.
  57   * This version also introduces some _experimental_ configuration options
  58     to make more aggressive use of dpkg's triggers. If you want to help
  59     testing these _experimental_ options see apt.conf (5) manpage.

  64
  65   * Code that determines which proxy to use was changed. Now
  66     'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::<host>]' options have the highest priority,
  67     and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options
  68     mentioned above are not specified.

  72 apt (0.6.44) unstable; urgency=low
  73
  74   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH.
  75     If you use a database created by an older version of apt, delete
  76     it and allow it to be recreated the next time.

  80 apt (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
  81
  82   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB version 4.2.  If used with a
  83     database created by an older version of apt, an attempt will be made
  84     to upgrade the database, but this may not work in all cases.  If your
  85     database is not automatically upgraded, delete it and allow it to be
  86     recreated the next time.
