   3   [ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
   4   After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
   5   the corresponding .deb package files will be
   6   removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
   7
   8   This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
   9     "Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
  10
  11   # echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
  12       > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
  13
  14   Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
  15   downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
  16   are installed. To enable the behavior for other tools, you can set
  17   "APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to false.
  18
  19   [ Compressed indices ]
  20   If you use Acquire::gzipIndexes, or any other compressed index targets,
  21   those will now be compressed with the fastest supported algorithm,
  22   currently lz4.

  27
  28   A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
  29   pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
  30
  31   This might break existing corner cases of pinning, if they use multiple
  32   pins involving the same package name or patterns matching the same
  33   package name, but should overall lead to pinning that actually works
  34   as intended and documented.

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

  47 apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low
  48
  49   * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in
  50     /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

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

  71
  72   * Code that determines which proxy to use was changed. Now
  73     'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::<host>]' options have the highest priority,
  74     and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options
  75     mentioned above are not specified.

  79 apt (0.6.44) unstable; urgency=low
  80
  81   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH.
  82     If you use a database created by an older version of apt, delete
  83     it and allow it to be recreated the next time.

  87 apt (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
  88
  89   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB version 4.2.  If used with a
  90     database created by an older version of apt, an attempt will be made
  91     to upgrade the database, but this may not work in all cases.  If your
  92     database is not automatically upgraded, delete it and allow it to be
  93     recreated the next time.
