apt (1.4.2) unstable; urgency=medium If periodic updates and unattended upgrades are enabled, the start of periodic updates are now distributed over 24 hour intervals (as in 1.2 to 1.4), whereas starting unattended-upgrade has been restricted to a time between 6 and 7 am. This only affects systems using systemd, other systems still use the classical hourly cron job. -- Julian Andres Klode Thu, 04 May 2017 22:54:02 +0200 apt (1.4~beta1) unstable; urgency=medium Support for GPG signatures using the SHA1 or RIPE-MD/160 hash algorithms has been disabled. Repositories using Release files signed in such a way will stop working. This change has been made due to security considerations, especially with regards to possible further breakthroughs in SHA1 breaking during the lifetime of this APT release series. It is possible (but STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST) to revert to the previous behaviour by setting the options APT::Hashes::SHA1::Weak "yes"; APT::Hashes::RIPE-MD/160::Weak "yes"; Note that setting these options only affects the verification of the overall repository signature. -- Julian Andres Klode Fri, 25 Nov 2016 13:19:32 +0100 apt (1.2~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium [ 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. -- Michael Vogt Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:22:16 +0100 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. -- Julian Andres Klode Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:45:17 +0200 apt (0.8.11) unstable; urgency=low * 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. -- David Kalnischkies Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:09:12 +0100 apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. -- Julian Andres Klode Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:34:16 +0100 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. -- David Kalnischkies Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:13:16 +0200 apt (0.7.23) unstable; urgency=low * Code that determines which proxy to use was changed. Now 'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::]' options have the highest priority, and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options mentioned above are not specified. -- Eugene V. Lyubimkin Thu, 19 Aug 2009 11:26:16 +0200 apt (0.6.44) unstable; urgency=low * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH. If you use a database created by an older version of apt, delete it and allow it to be recreated the next time. -- Michael Vogt Wed, 26 Apr 2006 12:57:53 +0200 apt (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB version 4.2. If used with a database created by an older version of apt, an attempt will be made to upgrade the database, but this may not work in all cases. If your database is not automatically upgraded, delete it and allow it to be recreated the next time. -- Matt Zimmerman Sat, 8 May 2004 12:38:07 -0700
