+ [ David Kalnischkies ]
+ * apt-pkg/depcache.cc:
+ - add SetCandidateRelease() to set a candidate version and
+ the candidates of dependencies if needed to a specified
+ release (Closes: #572709)
+ - allow conflicts in the same group again (Closes: #612099)
+ * cmdline/apt-get.cc:
+ - if --print-uris is used don't setup downloader as we don't need
+ progress, lock nor the directories it would create otherwise
+ - show dependencies of essential packages which are going to remove
+ only if they cause the remove of this essential (Closes: #601961)
+ - keep not installed garbage packages uninstalled instead of showing
+ in the autoremove section and installing those (Closes: #604222)
+ - change pkg/release behavior to use the new SetCandidateRelease
+ so installing packages from experimental or backports is easier
+ - really do not show packages in the extra section if they were
+ requested on the commandline, e.g. with a modifier (Closes: #184730)
+ - always do removes first and set not installed remove packages
+ on hold to prevent temporary installation later (Closes: #549968)
+ * debian/control:
+ - add Vcs-Browser now that loggerhead works again (Closes: #511168)

+ * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc:
+ - don't uncompress downloaded pdiff files before feeding it to rred
+ - try downloading clearsigned InRelease before trying Release.gpg
+ - change the internal handling of Extensions in pkgAcqIndex
+ - add a special uncompressed compression type to prefer those files
+ - download and use i18n/Index to choose which Translations to download
+ * cmdline/apt-key:
+ - don't set trustdb-name as non-root so 'list' and 'finger'
+ can be used without being root (Closes: #393005, #592107)

+ * apt-pkg/algorithms.cc:
+ - mark pseudo packages of installed all packages as configured
+ in the simulation as we don't call configure for these packages
