* Cupt:
  - System:
    - Worker:
      - 'update_release_and_index_data': fixed downloading of non-compressed
        indexes.
      - 'update_release_and_index_data': fixed removing downloaded file after
        uncompressing.
      - 'update_release_and_index_data': remove the downloaded Release.gpg if
        signature verification failed and 'cupt::update::keep-bad-signatures'
        is false (this is the default setting) for the compatibility with APT.
        Thanks to Goswin von Brederlow <goswin-v-b@web.de>.
        (Closes: #533753). Urgency is set to 'medium' because of this fix.
      - 'update_release_and_index_data': download index file even if
        signature download/check failed.
    - Resolvers/Native:
      - Reworked solution rank system.
      - Dropped 'first-good' solution chooser. It can be mimicked by setting
        'max-solution-count' option to 1.
      - Run cleaning auto-installed packages also before resolving, aiming
        to reduce number of solutions resolver should work with.
      - Made "zero" line for actions 400 points less, affecting ordering
        solutions for processing for default 'fair' resolver type. Leads to
        significant (several times) speed-up for some cases. Makes possible
        to obtain at least one solution for some hard queries (like removing
        core system components).
      - Fixed erroneous auto-removing of some dependencies which were brought
        by 'satisfy' query.
  - Download:
    - Manager:
      - Enabled basic HTTPS protocol support.
      - IPC is rewritten using UNIX sockets instead of fifos.
    - Progress:
      - Changed speed-o-meter accuracy to 4 seconds (previous value was
        2 seconds).
    - Methods/Curl:
      - Added basic handling of transitive download errors.
  - Cache:
    - New free subroutine 'verify_signature'.
    - BinaryVersion:
      - [API break] Renamed field 'source_name' to 'source_package_name'.
      - Added a check for hash sums presence. Thanks to
        Goswin von Brederlow <goswin-v-b@web.de>.
      - Added a check for version string presence.
  - Config:
    - Added configuration option 'apt::cache-limit'. Thanks to
      Goswin von Brederlow <goswin-v-b@web.de>. (Closes: #533752)
    - New configuration option 'cupt::update::keep-bad-signatures'.
* debian/control:
  - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.2, no changes needed.
  - Changed Homepage to wiki.debian.org/Cupt.
