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

+apt (1.1~exp9) experimental; urgency=medium
+
+  A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
+  pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
+
+  This might break existing corner cases of pinning, if they use multiple
+  pins involving the same package name or patterns matching the same
+  package name, but should overall lead to pinning that actually works
+  as intended and documented.

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

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